ENTERTAINMENTS.

DOUGLAS MACLEAN IN ”LET IT RAIN.” To be exact, Douglas Mac Lean brings a little more than a mile of smiles to the Town Hall cabaret on Wednesday, with his latest Paramount laugh provoker, “Let It Rain.” You see, there are usually one thousand feet of film in a reel, and five or six reels combine to make a feature picture. Any bright child will tell you the number of feet' in a, mile, and, as Doug, claims a smile for every foot, well, figure it out yourself! “Let It Rain” Riley, leader o£ the marines on a battleship, is sentenced by his commander to shake hands with Kelly, a sailor, every time they meet. While this sounds like a mild punishment for some of the battles they’ve fought, it really has its disadvantages. For instance, both men fall in love with the same girl. One day they go ashore, but Riley gets there first and takes, her to an amusement park. He tells the lady of his love, and they are about to go into a fond embrace when the nemesis comes along and insists on shaking hands fpr fifteen long minuted. With comedy, News and Magazine, at Cabaret prices. The sequel to “The Sheik,” “The Son of the Sheik,” which was the last picture made by Rudolph Valentino, will be the special attraction at the Town Hall on Friday. A great cast includes such welP known names as Karl Dane, Agnes Ayres> Montague Love, Vilma Banky and George Fawcett.
