ENTERTAINMENT.

“BLIGHTY.” “Blighty,” the latest English production released through Master Picture, is a first-rate entertainment. It screens at the Town Hall to-night. Adrian Brunei has produced in unmistakable fashion, and with, masterly touch, a story of the war years, when the youth of Britain poured out its life for freedom. The spirit of those years, the undying heroism of the front, and home lines, breathes throughout the picture, recapturing the atmosphere of the great struggle, and bringing to the screen a powerful, moving drama, holding a deep heart-inter-est for every family in the land. “Blighty,” is an outstanding British production with many angles of appeal. The picture is distinguished by the acting of Ell aline Terriss, whose first screen appearance is a notable event. Superimposed, as it were, upon the background of war —war without a battle scene —are two romances, familiar enough in those days, and still holding a deep interest. Lilian Hall-Davis, and Jameson Thomas, Nadia Sibirskaia and Godfrey Winn are the lovers, and their interpretation of the parts is excellent. With supports at usual prices. A special racing drama “The Sportng Chance,” has been booked for Monday night. This is a fine melodramatic story of doings in society and on the race track, with an exciting horse race as the climax/ A big cast is headed by Lou Tellegen, Dorothy Phillips, George Fawcett and Sheldon Lewis. Prices as usual. FULLER’S VAUDEVILLE. FAMOUS COMEDIAN AT THE TOWN HALL.
