TOM MEIGHAN AT CABARET. Surrounded by a highly capable cast, Thomas Meighan arrives at the Town Hall Cabaret on Wednesday, in a cinema adapted by Arthur Stringer from W. Somerset Maugham’s play, “The Canadian Pioneer,” and directed by William Beaudine. Prank Taylor, having failed to harvest his crop the year before, is shown working for his friend, Ed Marsh. To disturb an otherwise normal existence, Nora Marsh reaches her brother’s ranch after having lived most of her twenty years within the confines of London. Needless to say, the temperaments of Nora and her brother’s crude wife clash. And, hearing that Taylor wants a wife who will work, she asks if she’ll do. Here is where drama of the most poignant sort creeps in and it is in these scenes that Meighan’s artistry is said to rise to the very heights. Also comedy and News. Cabaret prices. Lew Cody and Carnel Myers will he seen in the leading roles in “The Gay Deceiver,” a story of a Parisian, Don Juan, which heads next Friday’s programme. Prices will be as usual.
