ENTERTAINMENTS.

TOWN HALL. Blanche Sweet, who is appearing in the role of Dolly Wall, proprietor of an oil-boom town social club in “Singed,” at the Town Hall to-night, is giving the best performance of her entire career. From the Oklahoma oil-boom town the locale of the drama shifts to a California wildcat oil lease where Warner Baxter, who plays opposite Miss Sweet, is seen as a derrick man. The well comes in a gusher, and it is the resources gained from the oil and the lease that enables the derrick man to establish the dance hall queen in a luxurious apartment in San Francisco, where most of the action takes place. -• It is a gripping tale of a woman who could not umlo her past, no matter how indefatigably the beauty doctors and the modistes worked to transform her into a “lady.” With “All for Nothing” (Comedy), News and Huka Fall. Usual prices.

A romantically adventurous tale o£ a girl wlio did not know which of two men she loved, so she ran away with a third. An exciting and dramatic story of revenue agents and smugglers, of masquerade halls and legacies—“ Bobbed Hair” at the Town Hall theatre on Monday.

ROYAL. If you like dogs go to the Royal to-night, which is presenting for the first time a photoplay starring “Dynamite,” the wonder dog' in “Wjolf’s Trail,” a Universal Western feature film. Every inch of the picture is coloured with the tang of the western plains, crammed full of hard riding, two-fisted fighting and heart throbs supplied by a gripping love theme. The plot details the efforts of those fearless upholders of law and order, the Texas Rangers, to track down and exterminate a band of thorn in the side of border customs officials. “Wolf’s Trail,” was skillfully picturizcd by Francis Ford, under whose direction “Dynamite,” performs feats which stamp him as being worthy of his name. Also “Newlyweds ’Xmas Party” (Comedy), British Empire, News, etc. Prices 1/- and 1/G. Children half price.
