ENTERTAINMENTS

TOWN HALL. A most forceful and exciting melodrama is “The Man in the Shadow,” at the Town Hall to-night. The story is billed as a humble protest against the supreme penalty when the evidence is circumstantial, and very well indeed does it carry out its theme, in gripping melodrama tic episodes. Dallis Alvoid, having allowed himself to get into the clutches of a blackmailing, gambler, finds the man slain upon an enforced visit to his home. Doing the logical thing, he calls the police, and it is found that he has a threatening note from the dead Uian in his pocket. This and other strong circumstantial evidence point to young Dallis as the criminal, but the story proves circumstantial evidence wrong again. Also “High Society” (comedy), Eve’s Review and News. Usual prices. Janet Gaynor famous as the star of “Seventh Heaven,” will be seen on Monday night in a comedy drama “Two Girls Wanted.” Usual prices. ROYAL. Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton have fought in the army, swabbed decks in the navy, dodged submarines, and now they complete the service cycle by donning dyers’ costume and soaring aloft in funny situations. To say “Now will be at the Royal to-night. The comedy pair who get into ldlts, then get blown into the air force, perform some tail spins, flops and parachute descents guaranteed to make any aviator green with envy, and at the same time guaranteed to make you hold your breath at the thrills and hold your sides at the funny situation. To say “Now We’re in the Air” is as funny as “We’re in the Navy Now,” is truthful so don’t miss this laugh. Prices 1/- and 1/0. .Children half price. Corinne Griffith on \Vednesdav next in “Three Hours.”
