ENTERTAINMENTS.

“WELCOME HOME.”

‘‘There is no place like home” says a favourite song and welcome is always the word that should appear on the doormat, but when old man Prouty had stayed with his son a few days, welcome was a more appropriate word for his departure. Especially when Fred Prouty had to choose between his wife and the old man. You’ll thoroughly enjoy 'Welcome Home” featuring Lois Wilson and Warner Baxter and screening at the Town Hall Cabaret to-morrow evening. Supporting films are a Stan Laurel Comedy: “Navy Blues” a scenic and Gazette. Usual Cabaret Prices. Charlie Chaplin in his big 10-reel success "The Gold Rush,” screening at the Town Hall on Thursday and Friday is the centre of a real drama of the Frozen north in the role of a hardluck, sourdough, dressed in the baggy pants, the flappy shoes, the old derby and eane of early association, Chaplin is credited with a keen sense of the affinity between the ludicrous and pathetic. The settings of the frozen wastes of Alaska are very fine and complete. Popular prices are being charged for the Foxton season viz. 1/-, and 2/-, children half price. ROYAL PICTURES. House Peters substitutes the down-to-thc-hour correct garb of the fashionable Englishman for the rough-and-ready clothing of his customary characterizations, in his most recent starring vehicle, the Universal-Jewel version of “Raffles,” which will be screened in the Royal Theatre, Wednesday. “Rallies” is an adaptation of the stories K. AY. Hornung wrote about his amateur cracksman hero, and the underlying theme of the picture is mystery. Miss Dupont, one of the screen’s beautiful “mysteries,” has the leading feminine role in support of Peters. Others prominently identified with the telling of the story are: Hedda Hopper, AVfinter Hall, Freeman AA r ood, Kate Lester, Frederick Esmelton, Roland Bottomley, Lillian Langdon and Robert Bolder. Centuary Comedy: “The Polo Kid.”
