ENTERTAINMENTS.

“IT’S THE OLD ARMY GAME.” W. C. Fields, the famous Amesican stage comedian, who made such a big success in “Sally of the Sawdust,” makes another real laughing hit in “It’s the Old Army Game,” the comedy feature at the Town Ha'll cabaret to-morrow (Wednesday) evening. The story is a fast, and at times furious tale of a young land salesman, who wrongly thinks lie lias taken down ti lot of clients, and is making desperate efforts to disappear. His adventures will cause heaps ,of laughs, especially those in connection. with the running of an ancient Ford car. Louise Brooks plays the female lead, while the direction was in the bands of Eddie Sutherland who gave us. Thomas Aleighan’s “Coming Through.” A comedy “All Tied Up.” Screen snaps and News also. Cabaret prices. Like many other famous stage melodramas, it has remained for the Fox organisation to make the perfect screen adaptation of “East Lynne,” probably the greatest stage success of any age. To ensure perfection, Fox selected a perfect east, which includes such famous name's as Alma Rubens, Edmund Lowe, Afarjorie Daw, Frank Keenan, Belle Bennett and Lou Telligeti, everyone of whom have starred in their own pictures. The spectacular train N smash near the end of the story has been of course (lorn l in a manner impossible on the speaking stage, or even in the mo-, vies, until the present period of.well nigh perfect picture production.
