ENTERTAINMENTS.

ROYAL PICTURES.

One of the most spectacular ganglights ever shown on the screen is promised as part of the entertainment supplied by “The Man In Blue,” Universal-Jewel coming to the Koval theatre to-morrow night with Herbert Kawlinson and Madge Bellamy, as co-stars. Edward Laemmle, who directed, has had lots of experience in directing gang lights for there are a number of them in two feature series he directed with Billy Sullivan as star, “The Leather Pushers” and “The Fast Steppers.” This picture was adapted from “The Flower of Napoli," a short story written by Gerald Beaumont and published in The Red Book Magazine. Comedy: “Gridiron Gertie.” Over fifteen hundred horses and four thousand people take part in “The Dancer of the Nile” showing at the Royal theatre Friday. The production is said to be one of the biggest ever made at Hollywood and used an entire valley to build its gigantic sets. The story is based on the romance of the younger days of King “Tut” and was directed and produced by William P. S. Earle. Carmel Myers, Malcolm McGregor and June Elvidge are its featured players with on ideal supporting cast.

"THE CKOW(DED HOUR.” Bebe Daniels, one of the most populor players on the silversheet, will be seen at the Town llall Cabaret to-morrow evening in a modern story set on the battlefields of France and in the drawing rooms of London society. It is titled “The Crowded Hour” and tells of a young girl who lost a man and won her own soul. Supporting films include a Sian Laurel comedy, “Twins,” a, scenic “Greece," and the latest News. Usual Cabaret prices. How would you like to have no less than a thousand women anxious to marry you? Earle Fox of Van Bibber fame says “Don’t venture to like it” and he knows whereof lie speaks because he has just played a role in a picture in which he was the only man available to this large number of members of the gentler sex. The novel situations which result from the dilemma in which he finds himself as the lone survivor of an epidemic which had killed off nil the other men, are what make “The Last Alan on Earth” a most extraordinary photoplay. I{. is screening at the Town Hall on Saturday next.
