ENTERTAINMENTS.

ROYAL PICTURES. “Good Man and True” is Harry Carey's latest starring vehicle, to be screened at the Royal Tlieati'j to-morrow night. In one scene Carey is compelled to fight sing.j- . ended against a gang of heavylisted waiters in a Far Western cabaret. The fact that he put them all out in one of the bitterest fist . fights ever shown on the screen attests his talents with his dukes. A rattling good picture with an excellent supporting programme. “The Reckless Age” is Reginald Denny's latest picture, and has pride of place at the Royal on« Friday night. It is, a lively story* of comic complications surrounding the attempt of an insurance agent to protect the policy of a client who has taken a policy against failure to wed a. rich fiancee, it is a rapidfire series of alternate thrills and laughs. A sensational fight, a chase in a speeding auto that adds further thrills, and a daring kidnapping are interspersed among hilarious difficulties resulting from a threatened breach of promise suit, a bogus claimant to a title and the faked theft of a nobleman’s ancestral pearls. “SINNERS IN HEAVEN,” AT CABARET. The British novel which won the prize of 1924 was Clive Ardee’s story of a man and a woman marooned on a tropic isle, “Sinners in Heaven.” Paramount have made the bpok into an absorbing picture, starring Bebe Daniels and Richard Dix. This eight-reel feature heads the propiamme at the Town Hail Cabaret to-morrow evening. An attempted aeroplane flight around the world and the crash in tropic seas and miraculous escape of the oci. upants supply some most realistic scenes and exciting moments. The picture was actually photographed at the Islands, so that for once the “atmosphere” is perfect. Altogether, “Sinners in Heaven” should be as great a success in the Him form as in book form, which is saving a great deal. A Christie comedy, “Aggravating Father,” and the latest News reel, are also included in the programme. Prices as usual for cabaret.

Owing to the holiday, the weekend programme will be screened on Friday this week. A William Bussell feature, “Times have Changed,” wilt be the headliner. An Al. St. John comedy has also been secured for Friday evening.
