On Monday night Conway Tonne is starred in. "The Referee." This is, perhaps, the best story Mr Tenrlo has ever had in his distinguished career. The star is singularly suited to the role he portrays, for it is rumoured that he is quite a tighter in the ranks of amateur pugilists. .Judging by “The Referee," the life of a motion picture star is a strenuous one. hut Conway Tenrlo, stripped to the skin God gave him, looks as if he is no stranger to punidiing hags and skipping ropes. The picture is crammed full of action from start to conclusion. It's a certain knock-out. “DAUGHTERS OF THE .NIGHT.*’ Recognition, long awaited by tlie telephone girl, is contained in the new Fox melodrama, "Daughters of the Night," at the Town Hall tonight.
