“THE POTTERS.” W. C. Field’s the clever comedian of “So’s your old man,” “Sally of the Sawdust,” etc., will be seen again in the leading role in “The Potters,” the film heading Wednesday’s Town Hall Cabaret programme. The story is told on/the great American oilfields, and deals with a small struggling family’s buying and selling of oil shares. Field’s as Pa and Mary Alden as Ma, keeps every scene bubbling with humour. Their daughter Mamie and her boy Red mix in a little romance thus rounding out a picture of pleasing entertainment. Withv “The Potters,” will be screened “Hot Doggie” comedy, Hampton Court Palace and the latest News. Usual Cabaret prices.

When Captain Frank Hurley learned, after two years’ experience releasing his famous “Pearls and Savages,” in America and Europe, that the only way for a scenic to reach the masses was to introduce a regular story and a romance, he gave the world at the Town Hall on Friday “Pearls of the South Seas.” His latest masterpiece, “The Jungle Woman,” promises to reduce any audience t 6 thrilled applause. Dealing with the varied adventures of two intrepid Englishmen in Dutch New Guinea, the story unfolds in a series of wild, exciting moments, at the same time impressing with the atmospheric magnificence of the Papuan backgrounds, awing in their sinister sombreness. “The Jungle Woman,” is a film story to thrill and enchant—the film offering par excellence. The John Barrymore special “Don Juan” will be screened on Monday next.
