MIX PACKS THRILLS IN “RAINBOW TRAIL.”

(Swift action and tense dramatic situations fill “The Rainbow Trail,” Tom Mix’ latest William Fox picture at the Town Hall on Saturday. Into this incomparable Zane -Grey story, which is the sequel to “Riders of the Purple (Sage,” Mr. Mix has packed an abundance of thrilling exploits. Combining the genius of these two westerners, Mix and Grey, lias made this a picture of unusual distinction.

Lynn Reynolds, who directed the picture, has succeeded in carrying on the story of “Riders of the Purple Stage” with artistic adroitness. The action in “The Rainbow Trail” starts with the first foot and continues until the romanitc conclusion. 'Comedy: “Lion Love” and Gazette. Prices as usual.

On Monday evening “This Freedom” the A. S. M. Hutchinson story will lie screened at the Town Hall. This companion picture to “If Winter Comes,” features Fay Compton and Clive Brook. Usual Prices. ROYAL PICTURES. The great sorrow of childhood, the rending of parental ties, disintegration of home, is poignantly pictured in “Divorce,” a volcanic arraignment of ill-considered marriage and hasty divorce, which is the attraction at the Royal theatre Friday, with Jane Novak and John Bowers in the principal roles. Placed in “neutral” homes or in institutions, no more to come home from schol to buttered bread and jam as only mothers can prepare that delicacy of childhood, gone l*he exquisite hours when they were tuckin bed with fairy tales, no one to hear their sobbing tales of injustice, nor (o bandage their scratched knees —do mothers and fathers ever pause to think of the children’s side in their mad rush for the divorce courts? A gripping picture. S|e it.

A picture thousands have been anxiously waiting to see is scheduled to be presented at the Royal theatre next Saturday. It is the screen version of “Cliickie,” Elenore Meherin’s ,sensational newspaper serial novel.
