♦ •‘DAUGHTERS OF THE XIGIIT.” One of the cleverest bank robberies on record was foiled by the quick wit of a beautiful young telehone girl in “Daughters of the Night” the romantic high speed telephone drama heading the programme at the Town Hall on Saturday next. Breaking into a small bank at midnight, the robbers cunningly unroll and stretch a painted canvas behind tin' cashiers cages, with the steel safes painted thereon, so that when the olieeman on the beat looks through the plate glass window he does not discover the operators operating on the real safes behind the camouflage. But one of lhe robbers fumbles and knocks the telephone receiver off the hook. That mistake gives a smart telephone girl the cue and she is quickly busy, fit her pictures on Saturday’s list are “The Hunt” comedy, and Fox news. Prices as usual. A romantic and pretty .picture ••.Maytime” will head next Monday’s pi ogramme. A Mack Sennet comedy “Down to The Sea in Shoes” is also due on Monday. If Cecil B.
