ENTERTAINMENTS

TOWN HALL. A laugh in every foo.t —with a thrill between each laugh. Such is William K. Howard’s production of “Bachelor Brides,” Rod La Rocque’s new starring picture which will be displayed at the Town Hall on Wednesday. The picture presents La as a monocled English peer, who seeks the hand of a wealthy American heiress. The father of the girl, a Chicago butter and egg man, is seen in a hurried flight to Scotland in a vain attempt to block the marriage, and what happens at Duncraggan Towers the stormy night of his arrival furnishes first laughs—than suspense —then laughs again. Also “Whispering Chorus” (Comedy), and Empire News. Cabaret prices. Hoot Gibson, the Wester star, will be seen on Friday in his latest feature “Galloping Fury.” Usual prices.

ROYAL. The hero, the heroine, and the bad man. They’re with us again, but in slightly different form. This time, as enacted by Lane Chandler, Betty Bronson and Fred Kohler, they’re at the Royal on Wednesday, in a new Zane Grey Paramount Western, “Open Range.” The hero is a handsome, cocksure cowpuncher, who doesn’t give a hoot about anything or anyone until he meets the heroine. And, if you can imagine the “Peter Pan” girl as a daughter of the old west, you’ll know that this heroine is not one of the usual stereotyped sisters of love. As for Fred Kohler, if you saw him in “The Rough Riders” or “Underworld,” you’ll realize that he’s one man who never enacts the same characterization twice. With supporting films. Prices 1/- everywhere. Children Gd.

“'L’lie Joy Girl” is the feature fo: Saturday evening.
