A pretty circus acrobat and a poor clown tyrannised by a brutal circus owner—until a big fighting eowpimeher breezed in from the range and fought for them like a wild eat.

Comedy “The Haunted Heiress.”

“The Splendid Road” will be screened on Monday night, and it is a particularly fine romance, based on the California gold rush of 1849, Before being released for exhibition this picture was passed in review before a number of historical societies for complete accuracy.

FINE DETECTIVE DRAAIA AT THE TOWN HALL TO-NIGHT.

Here’s a mystery story with a new angle, a picture of San Francisco’s underworld, with a novel twist that makes ft highly entertaining ,anc thoroughly enjoyable. In other words “On Thin lee,” the leading feature at the Town Hall to-night, is a picture that should not be missed, because it is a clever mixture of adventure, mystery, rapid action, and romance, not forgetting the unusual spectacle of seeing a gangster turn brother to a naive unsophisticated girl in order to carry out his ends. Supporting films are “Radio Mad,” comedy; “St. Andrews,” Scotland, scenic, and the latest Pathe Gazette. Prices as usual.

George O’Brien, Madge Bellamy, and Alma Rubens are the leading players in Monday night’s big picture “The Dancers,” a story set in the Argentine and London, dealing with the world-wide craze and its effect. Pola Negri appears on Wednesday night in “A Woman of the World.” i
