ENTERTAINMENTS.

ROYAL PICTURES. The stage was set for the final scene. The colourful figure of the injured matador stood poised before the powerful beast that pawed the sand angrily. A blast from the President’s bugle-calling for the coup de grace, at this moment, meant death, yet even now were the shrill notes ringing in the am. A terrible bellow—a sudden rush—and a father had hurled death upon his loved son in response to a merry flash from the eyes of a coquette. The climax of the greatest Spanish picture ever filmed. “The Bandolero,” at the Royal, Friday. “Wreckage” will be screened on Saturday at the Royal theatre. In the cast are John Miljan, Rosemary Thcby and James Morrison. “THE JOHNSTOWN FLOOD.” TOWN HALL—SATURDAY. Melodrama with excitement and suspense crammed into every scene, with romance running high, and culminating in a momentous climax. That is “The Johnstown Flood” an epic drama based on the great disaster of 1889. Aside from being the most spectacular picture screened_£or sometime, a charming and appealing human interest story unfolds as the film progresses. The cast includes such popular personalities as George O’Brien, Florence Gilbert and Paul Panzer. Other pictures are “Officer of the Day,” (Comedy) and latest Fox News. Usual prices. Priscilla Dean, the famous emotional star, will re-appear at the Town Hall on Mondiway next in “The Siren of Seville” the story of a Spanish girl who lives and fights for her love with all the ardour of her race. Alan Forrest and Stuart Holmes are in the supporting cast.
