TOWN HALL.

This splendid tribute to the horse and as the tale unfolds both human and equine actors go through a series of adventures that are of absorbing interest. A fine romance involving Buck and Audrey Evans, played by Lola Todd, supplies the love interest, while Buck’s efforts to win her despite the opposition of an officer who wants to marry the girl himself, furnishes the picture with plenty of comedy. All in all, “The W|ar Horse” is the kind of picture that is certain ,to please every member of the family. It was directed by Lambert Hillyer. Also comedy, News and Scenic. Usual prices. Laura La Plante will be seen on Monday in “Her Big' Night,” a farce comedy.

ROYAL. “7th Heaven,” the special attraction at the Royal to-night is the story of two of the lowest types of Parisians, a worker in the sewers of Paris and a waif of the Paris streets.
