ENTERTAINMENTS.

“FASCINATING YOUTH.” ... “Fascinating Youth,” which comes to the Town Hall Cabaret on AVednesday, is the picture that thousands have been waiting to see, for the cast includes sixteen new faces, Paramount Junior Stars, who were picked from the same thousands who are waiting to see it. This story of pep and speed, written for the screen by Byron Morgan, who wrote Wally Reid’s auto race stories, and which is directed by Sam AVood who made “Bluebeard’s Eighth Wife,” is a story of the present 'generation, a picture which will show you some possible Swansons and Meighans. “Up in tlie Air,” comedy, and News also. Cabaret prices.

The special attraction, “The Bat,’-' Ims been booked for screening on Thursday next. “The Bat’’ was adapted from the famous stage success, but so many complications have been added that those who saw the play are completely bafiled by the screen version. Murder, robberies, secret rooms in a haunted mansion, various characters suspecting each other of diabolical crimes—these are a few of the elements in the gripping story. An enthralling love theme runs through the picture. Although a melodrama, “The Bat” provides laughter in plenty. The all-star cast includes Jack Bickford, Robert McKim and Jewel Carmen. Prices, Is and Is (id, children half-price.
