Tom Mix’s present picture at the Town Hall “The Lucky Ilorsshoe," must take rank with the best films this artist has made. “The Lucky Horseshoe" is the story of a western ranch man who almost loses the girl he loves because he is too bashful to tell her he loves her before she goes abroad, and too much of a sportsman to tell her when she returns engaged to another man. There are thrills galore intermixed with real comedy, and wonderful scenery in the Spanish scenes. Supporting films are an O’Henry comedy “Shoes,” Cuba (Scenic) gazette and News. Prices as usual. “The Lighthouse by the Sea,” to be seen next Monday is a breathless melodrama of a girl lighthouse keeper and her dog protector who fought a lone tight: against an unscrupulous gang of smugglers. Bin 'fin Tin the wonder dog gives a. marvellous display in the leading role. A comedy “Seeing Things,” scenic and Urban Chat complete a good evening’s entertainment. Prices as usual.
