ENTERTAINMENTS.

ROYAL PICTURES. Constance Talmadge is booked for the Royal Theatre on Wednesday in “Her Sister from Paris,” the new and charming domestic com-edv-drama. The story puts “the movies’ most engaged star” in a new role. It shows her as the loving wife of an undemonstrative husband who is also afflicted with tits of temperament. She undertakes to tame him, and to educate him into manifesting his unquestioned love for her. To do so she impersonates her gay and somewhat wayward twin sister from Paris and the results are both disastrous and amusing. Matt Moore in “Where the Worst Begins will be screened on Friday at the Royal theatre. “BEGGAR ON HORSEBACK.” “Beggar on Horseback” is the title of the novelty picture heading Wednesday’s programme at the Town Hall. There isn’t a single horse in it. There isn't a beggar in it. It has nothing to do with horseback riding. It isn’t a travelogue. But it is the gayest, funniest and .most original story ever pul on stage or screen. The story of a young composer who has to write jazz songs to keep from starving; of two girls, one rich, one poor, both of whom love him, of a dream he dreams which is the funniest thing of all. Edward Horton and Esther Ralston are featured players. “Fiddling Around” comedy, News and travelogue. Prices as usual.
