ENTERTAINMENTS

TOWN HALL. A well-told tale is “Galloping h ury,” the new Hoot Gibson starring vehicle at the Town Hall on I* riday. It is a gripping story of the W)est with ample quantities of Comedy interspersed. And, indeed, it should be a good story for it comes directly from the pen of that ace of Western story writers, Peter - B. Ivyne. Hoot, beloved as always, further endears himself with the screen-going public by his delightful characterization of the Tidy Toreador a rodeo bull thrower who never allows his face, hands or - clothes to be soiled by contact with ~~ the dusty earth. Hard-riding, twofisted fighting and riotous comedy gags feature this Gibson picture which is one of the best he has vever done. Through it all is the thread of a heart-warming romance between Gibson and Sally Rand. With “Newlyweds Trouble” (Comedy), and News at usual prices.

William Haines, so popular in sporting romance, will be seen on Saturday in his latest feature “West Point.” Prices at usual.

ROYAL. Allan Dwane’s special production “The Joy Girl,” with Olive Borden in the leading role will screen at the Royal on Saturday. The story tells of a poor girl who aspired to wealth and position at almost any cost. A bit of a snob, in her young ignorance, she deliberately sought after rich men. But, thanks to innate fineness and a lucky stroke, it turns out that a certain young chaffeur in whom she is really interested, is actually Prince Charming in disguise. Dwan presents the brilliance of New York and Palh Beach in a series of remarkable shots for which he took the entire company to the scenes. While (here is none of the exaggerated splendour that sometimes accompanies pictures of society, nothing of the real luxury is omitted. Also “Her Blue Black Eyes” (Comedy), and News. Prices 1/- and 1/6. Children half price.

Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton of “We’re in the Navy Now” fame, will be seen next week in “Now We’re in the Air.”
