“THE KING OF WILD HORSES.’ 1

“The King of Wild Horses,” the big feature at the Town Hall tonight is a most unique and exciting drama. A wild stallion, monarch of the plains and leader of a band of mares is pursued by man, whom he hates. It is a wild thrilling enthralling chase —horse cunning versus man’s skill. Then a forest fire enables the cowboy to capture the beautiful creature —or rather save him from destruction. At last the man-hating beast learns of the kindness of man and is able to return kindnes to Edna Murphy and Leon Barry who play leading roles in the fine story. A big supporting programme includes “His Mod el Day,” comedy, Pathe Gazette and a coloured scenic “Naval Big Guns.” Usual Prices. On Monday evening “Wages for Wives” will head the bill at the Town Hall. ROYAL PICTURES.
