ENTERTAINMENTS.

"THE CYCLOXE RIDER." Picturegoers who were thrilled last year h.v the ‘‘The East Alail” and “The Arizona Express” can get icadv for the same pleasure at the Town Hall to-night when the seven reel melodrama “The Cyclone Rider" is screened. Among the tilings the hero is called upon to do are climbing the skeleton of a skyscraper, dashing madly through the city street with his racer going full speed, leaping across a 12 foot gap of water in his ear to a moving ferry boat, and dashing under the nose of a speeding express train. In fad every move he makes would in ordinary life be considered a narrow escape from death. Reed Ilowes, Alma Bennett and William Bailey play the leading voles. A coinedv “Radio Riots" and the latest World's News complete the bill. Usual prices. Fred Thomson heralded as the world's champion all round athlete stars in "The Dangerous Coward” heading the hHI Alonday night. This feature is a speedy Western production distinguished by good and clever stunts by Thomson and his trained horse “Silver King.’ Other pictures are a Snub Pollard comedy, "California or Bust,” and the latest l’athe Gazette and Paris Fashions. Prices as usual. ROYAL PICTURES. "Cytherm," the First National picture showing at the Royal Theatre, is the story of a husband who would not grow old and of a wife who refused to remain young. He clung tenaciously to the spirit of romance and adventure while she let herself become obessed with the care of her home and children, and and did not try to retain any of her youthful charm. Irene Rich, as the wife, has a role that only an accomplished actress such as she is could handle with lidelity. The colourful island of Cuba is the locale of much of the action, and tinted sequences the natural beauty of the setting. In the opinion of critics, “Cytheren” is one of the greatest pictures ever produced. A spectacular stampede of fearmaddened horses, a roaring prairie lire, the destruction of a cabin by lire, a terrific wind storm, a dynamite explosion that levels a mountainside, these are only a few of the many outstanding features that go to make “Crashiif Thru,” Harry Cary’s fourth starring vehicle for Film Booking Offices, the greatest picture the famous Western star has made in his entire career. "Crashin’ Thru” will he screened at tlic Royal on Alonday night.
