ENTERTAINMENTS

“The Wonderland of North-West Australia,” a film record of the Douglas Wylie expedition to one of the wildest and least known portions of Australia, will screen at the Town Hall to-night. Mr. Bernard C. Ryder, F.R.G.S., who was a member of the expedition will deliver an instructive lecture with the film. Scenes of the wild tribes, of shark fishing, turtle hunting and all the incidents and trials that fall to the lot of an exploring party make this an unusually interesting film. One wonderful scene shows scores of huge sharks tearing and leaping over the carcass of a harpooned whale which has been brought alongside the boat, .the whole 8,000 feet of film is full of good instructive entertainment. Prices 2/- and 1/6. Children half price. ROYAL. A light, exhilarating story of a young married couple is "Silk Stockings,” Laura La Plante’s Universal starring vehicle which shows at this theatre on Friday. The story is one replete with gay moments and is so human that every person now married or contemplating matrimony will appreciate the farcical situations into which the young couple plunge themselves. Usual prices.

Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton have achieved the impossible. They have made four comedies in a row, and each one is funnier than its predecessor, the latest nonsense opera of this inimitable pair, “Now Wie’re In The Aii-,” is*on Saturday at the Royal theatre. Beery and Hatton exceed anything they have ever done before for Paramount. They are shown as a couple of boob aviators, who become such by wandering into a propeller testing room where, six propellers are roaring at once, and having their Scotch highlander costumes blown off them. Some one tosses them a pair of flying suits and they are off. It’s a scream. Prices 1/- and 1/6. Child ren half price.
