ENTERTAINMENTS.

BUCK JONES AT TOWN HALL,

“The Cowboy and the Countess,” a highly original story of a troupe of cowboys on an exhibition tour of Europe with Buck Jones, starring in the title role, will be screened at the Town Hall on Friday and Saturday. Besides having a very original plot, the story is full of action and thrills, and moves along swiftly, and naturally. Buck Jones falls in love with a Countess and this causes a lot of amusement and also a deal of excitement both on an ocean liner and out West. Other pictures are an 0.-, Henry comedy “Elsie in New York,” “Off Shore Trails” scenic, and the latest Fox News. Usual prices. “One Glorious Night” will be screened on Monday, starring Elaine Hammerstcin. It is a story of a young girl, who has to give up her child because she does not!/want it to suffer poverty. ROYAL PICTURES. . Solomon in all his glory was never more glorious than his father, King David, and Bath-Slieba is wonderfully depicted in natural colours, with all the lavish details in “So This Is Marriage,” a MetroGoldwyn picture, to be screened on Friday night at the Royal Theatre. The story tells of a flapper wife and her foolish ways, and a steady, easy-going husband, together with a bachelor who studied women. In “What Happened to Jones,” the latest Universal Jewel, which will be screened on Saturday night, Reginald Denny impersonates a woman for several important sequences. The picture is full of! good scenes. Being a master of all the manly sports, an athlete, yachts-, man and expert racing driver, the star had an awful time in trying to perfect his characterisation.
