ENTERTAINMENTS.

“ALOMA OF THE SOUTH SEAS.”

Gilda Gray and Percy Marmont head the cast in “Aloma of the South Seas,” at the Town Hall Cabaret to-morrow (Wednesday) evening. A young American on a South Sea Isle, drinking himself right down to the gutter. A brownskinned dancer who adores him because he once defended her. Tropical nights, the pounding surf, and love. Enter a native who longs for the girl. He swears vengeance if anything should happen to her. Then along comes an old sweetheart now married to the lad’s best friend. What happens? Remember, there are sharks, who “prefer white meat to brown,” sharks in the lagoon. And raging tempests. South Sea dances and, oh well, one has to see “Aloma of the South Seas” to appreciate it. Cabaret Prices.

“The Big Parade,” will be screened at the Town Hall Thursday and Friday, is telling one of the sweetest and most, appealing love stories ever brought to the screen. “The Big Parade,” deals not with nations nor with armies but with individuals who in the midst of life and laughter are suddenly brought face to face with the tragedy if war. Humour and humanity abound, however, and melodramatic moments and superheroic heroes are refreshingly absent. Book at Heaths.
