ENTERTAINMENTS.

ROYAL PICTURES. Pete Morrison, whose work on the screen has thrilled millions of movie fans, is the star of “Triple Action,” to be screened at the Royal Theatre to-night. In “Triple Action” Morrison does much whirlwind riding, and is the principal in a daring leap from an aeroplane. In the supporting cast are Trilby Clarke, Dolores Gardner, Harry Von Meter, and many others well known on the screen.

In bowing to the dictates of modern times, those responsible for the production of the big Colleen Moore feature, “Wie Aloderns,” to he screened on Monday, have provided even the big thrill of the story with modern ingredients. A joy ride in an aeroplane, a collision with a Zeppelin, both catching fire, these are but some of the thrills. FRED THOMSON' AT THE TOWN HALL. ; “The Fighting Sap,” featuring Fred Thomson and his horse, “Silver King,” screening at the Town Hall to-night, takes rank with the best pictures this star has made, so that patrons will realise they are iu for a heap of thrills and fast action to-night. Both on a runaway motor car, and mounted on “Silver King,” Thomson, as the supposedly soft college boy, does stunts and puts up fights that amaze the hardened old diggers and cut-throats. Comedy “Hot Heels,” and a novelty film and latest Pathe Gazette and Fashions. Prices as usual. On Monday Bert Ly tell, Alma Rubens and other prominent stars are seen to advantage in “The Gilded Butterlly,” the story of a young social parasite and her unhappy ending. Comedy “Cupid A La Carte,” a Scenic and Fox News. Next Wednesday “The Ancient Highway” will be screened.
