FAIRBANKS IN “BLACK PIRATE,” TO-NIGHT.

With the news that Douglas Fairbanks’ latest screen offering, “The Black Pirate,” will be the feature attraction at the Town Hall theatre to-night, comes the added word that this picture is entirely in colour and ranks as one of the most elaborate cinema spectacles of the year. Fairbanks is as usual the romantic adventurer achieving no end ot thrills through his hazardous, always inimitable, and frequently amusing “stunts.” His ingenuity and athletic prowess are big factors in his struggle to win a captured damsel from a shipload of blood-thirsty pirates. This situation forms the drama of the play as well as the backbone of the story. With supporting pictures. Prices 1/- and 2/-. Children half price. In “There you are,” the leading picture on Friday, the office slogan was “Let George Do it,” and didn’t he just! Eloped with the boss’s daughter, stole a baby, barged into more trouble than he ran away from, and ended up by burning down the town’s best hotel because his heart was on fire with' love. What a hilarious escapade, thrills and laughs and 1 a little romance, making a comedy cocktail with plenty of “kick.” 1 “There you are” —and don’t miss it! Usual Prices.

Saturday’s list is headed by “A Streak of Luck,” a big Western featuring Buffalo Bill Jnr. Madamoiselle from Armentierres, next week.
