ENTERTAINMENTS.

“THE TIMBER WOLE.” “The Timber Wolf” starring Buck Jones at the Town Hall temporary pictures to-night is just the sort of picture that lias made this star so popular. The story is of a man of the North woods —owner of vast timber lands —whose rugged methods with men has earned the name “The Timber Wolf.” A mine hidden in a mysterious canyon, crooks and a dishonest sheriff figure importantly in the action. Elinor Fair is the leading lady. A comedy “A Cloudy Romance,” a variety film and latest Fox News are other pictures on the list. Hubby! He was just an everyday young fellow, who loved his wife' and ilia home, and everything. But one day his mother-in-law, and his two brothers-in-law walked in on him — and then the trouble .began. Briefly this is the theme of Harold Lloyd’s newest fun creator, “Hot Water” which screens on Monday night and promises to cause Foxton picturegoers more amusement than any other Lloyd picture to date. “Too Many Husbands,” comedy, scenic and latest Pathe Gazette. ROYAL PICTURES. The very name, Lon Chaney, has come to lie a definite symbol to picture fans, meaning entertainment that is both different and absorbingly interesting. He is coming to the Royal Theatre to-night in another great picture, Victor Seastrom’s production for Metro-Gold-wyn. “lie Who Gets Slapped,” from the Leonid Andreyev stage success. In this instance, apart from his circus attire, Chaney departs from the grotesque in make-up, and plays his part to perfection.

Corinne Griffith, is not the least reluctant mussing her hair or wearing plain, homespun dresses and dirtying her face. She proves this as the. wife of an adventurer in the Canadian sequence of her latest First National drama, “Love’s Wilderness,” to be shown at the Royal Theatre next Monday.
