ENTERTAINMENTS.

“THE TOP OF THE WORLD.”

One of the most thrilling and realistic floods that have ever been seen on the silver sheet is the climax that Director Melford makes in his production of Ethel M. Dell’s thrilling romance of Africa “The Top of The World.” In this drama of buffeted fortunes on the veldt. James Kirkwood plays the dual role of lover and wastrel both fight- . ing for the same girl played by Anna Q. Nitlson. The scenery throughout this picture is wonderful and in parts is further enhanced by fine natural colour photography. In addition to the two stars named above Sheldon Lewis and Raymond Hatton play clever roles. A comedy “High Gear” a scenic “Launceston,” and latest News complete the list. Prices, adults 1/- everywhere. Children fid. A bargain programme.

An exciting detective drama “The Champion of Lost Causes” will head the programme on Saturday next. Edmund Lowe, Barbara Bedford and Jack McDonald are the featured players. The original Fred Foley, masterentertainer, illusionist and ventriloquist has been booked to appear at the Town Hall on Monday next.

ROYAL PICTURES.

THE MOTION PICTURE

MIRACLE.

The drama that has held the whole world spellbound —the mas-ter-piece that stands as the symbol of the advance of the motion picture art, will be screened at the Royal Theatre tomorrow night entitled “The Lost World.” Behind

“The Lost World” is the imagination of a genius. It does not purport to show what has happened or to forecast what is likely to happen, but indicates what would happen were it possible to bring the great beasts which science has proved did inhabit this earth millions of years ago, back to modern civilisation. It was made to entertain —and does in a. way no other picture could! See giant prehistoric monsters living, breathing, fighting before your very eyes —more marvellous still a huge 'Dinosaur amok iii London crashing down buildings, tearing up roadways, smashing through the Tower Bridge. You’ll never forget this story of love—in the wilderness! “Secrets of the Night” the Uni-versal-Jewel comedy-mystery picture with an all star cast is coming to the Royal theatre next Thursday. James Kirkwood and Madge Bellamy are featured players. Among those who have important parts are Zazu Pitts, Rosemary Theby, Otto Hoffman, Tom Ricketts, Tom S. Guise, Arthur Stewart Hull, Tom Wilson and Joseph Singleton. Herbert Blache directed.
