ENTERTAINMENTS.

“THANK YOU.” A. rural drama with pathos and and humour perfectly blended is “Thank You,” the leading picture at the Town Hall temporary pictures to-morrow and Saturday evenings. “Thank You” is best described as ranking with “Way Down East” and “The Old Homestead” in type and appeal. The plot revolves around a small town minister who is forced because of his inadequate salary, to accept the left over viands and an occasional scuttle of coal from his parishioners. And all he can offer in payment is to say with his most courtly manner “Thank You.” Alec B. Francis has the principal role, and is supported by George O’Brien, Jacqueline Logan and J. Farrell McDonald. A comedy “All Aboard,” and Fox News complete the programme. Usual prices. Sir Arthur Conan Dayle’s stirring tale ot love and adventure founded on fact and retold in the actual locations up the Nile. Such is “Fires of Fate” adapted from the famous author’s “Tragedy of the Korosko,” screening on Monday evening next. ROYAL PICTURES. “Wolves of the Border” screening at the Royal Theatre tomorrow night is a thrilling story of an outlaw band of cattle rustlers and thieves which operated among the isolated ranches in the Western Hills. “The Wolf” was their mysterious leader and although he walked openly in the small town streets and spoke with sheriffs and citizens alike,' he had never been branded as the leader of the gaiig. A thrilling fight and the capture of the Wolf is one of the outstanding incidents of the picture. Extia “The Riddle Rider” and Mr. Walter Vernon, the singing ventrilloquist in a complete change of programme. When shots are fired at two people in the dark from near a haunted ranch house something is bound to move. In “Spook Ranch,” the lattest Universal Jewel production coining to the Royal theatre on Saturday. Walter Vernon will give yet another change of programme.
