ENTERTAINMENTS.

“WHAT HAPPENED TO JONES.”

“What Happened to Jones” will be screened at the Royal Theatre to-night. The funniest picture of the year is here. Not because we say so, but because audiences everywhere in cities, big or small, with people simple and sophisticated, have roared themselves hoarse and gigled themselves blue over it. Marion Davies appears in the piquant and adorable role of “Pat” O'Day in the Cosmopolitan picture, “Little Old New York,” adapted to the screen from the stage success by Rida Johnson Young, pnd to be screened at the Royal on Monday. In this picture “Pat” O’Day disguises herself as her own brother in order to gain an inheritance left him by a wealthy uncle.

BUCK JONES IN A FINE PICTURE.

Buck Jones, star of the latest Western production, “The Cowboy and the Countess,” at the Town Hall to-night, has never had a better vehicle in which to display his wonderful skill in roping and riding As Jerry Whipple he is seen first at his Western ranch, where lie performs on his own stock, and later shows some fancy tricks while touring Europe. The story has a highly original plot, dealing with the adventures of typical Western cowhands in Europe. Their trip across on the ocean liner is uproariously funny and their adventures and lights on the other side full of thrills. O’Henry comedy, “Elsie in New York,” and scenic “Off Shore Trails,” and the latest Fox News. Usual prices. On Monday “One Glorious Night” will be screened, starring Elaine Hannnerstein. Not a sex story, but a rich human drama in which a young girl finds that the ease and luxury of wealth have their own price, and that price she would not pay. Comedy “The Slippery Husband.” Prices as usual.
