ENTERTAINMENTS.

“PATHS TO PARADISE.”

At the Town Hall temporary pictures to-morrow Wednesday evening Betty Compson will be featured in “Paths to Paradise” a tale of two crooks who decided to go straight, but not before they had returned the rewards of their labours to the rightful owners. And so they found their paths to para-: dise filled with thrills. For you it is one long laugh. The usual good supporting pictures are included in the programme. Usual prices, adults 9d, children 3d. •A special programme has been secured for Thursday evening. It is headed by an 8 reel drama “The Grub Stake” in which Nell Shipman, of “Back to God’s Country” fame) is featured with her wild animals. Set amidst the snow country of the Yukon and Alaska. “The Grub Stake” provides picturegoers with a big outdoor thrill drama which should please all patrons. ROYAL PICTURES. Anna Q. Nilsson has played many splendid roles in her screen career, hut none more so than the one she plays for Sam E. Rork, producer of several very successful First Nation al pictures. Anna Q. is his “good luck charm.” Whenever this astute producer has a big production planned, he hastens to secure Anna Q.’s signature to a contract long before the date on which the picture is scheduled to be started. So it is quite obvious why Anna Q. is featured in “The Talker,” the Rork production which First National will show at the Royal next Wednesday.

A man killed and three people, a man and two women, accusing themselves of the crime, is a situation cleverly and logically accounted for, to be found in the Richard Thomas production “The Love Pirate” coming to the Royal theatre on Thursday. The manner in which each one of the three proved innocent and the guilty one discovered, is said to reveal a climax that is absolutely novel and tensely dramatic. A comedy “Love at First Sight” and “The Raddle Rider” make up first class holiday programme.
