ENTERTAINMENTS

TOWN HALL. Thomas Meigiiau, in a role slightly reminiscent of “The Miracle Alan.” Thomas Meighan in a modern melodrama of life in a big city, Thomas Meighan as the district attorney who proposes to end a deadly gang war, only to discover that his liancee’s father is the “man behind the gun” in the underworld, Thomas Meighan in a strong he-man role. Thomas Meighan as a crusader, who goes down into the haunts of gangsters in an effort to get his man—and gets him with bare lists! That’s what we are promised in “The City Gone Wild,” at the Town Hall Cabaret on Wednesday. Cabaret prices.

Tom Mix and his horse Tony relurn to the Town Tlall on Friday in I heir latest Western, “Tumbling River.” Usual prices.

ROYAL. Corine Griffith’s powerful drama. “Three Hours,” a screen version of -May Adgiuton’s story, heads the bill at the Royal Theatre on Wednesday. In some respects Miss Griffith’s newest picture resembles her famous success “Black Oxen.” As in the previous picture one of tho high lights of the story is the heroine’s transition from plainness to beauty. In “Black Oxen” the change was due to pathological rejuvenation, but in the new film the transformation is accomplished by a stolen wallet! A brilliant array of screen talent will support the star in this latest offering, including John Bowers, Hobart Bos worth, Paul Ellis, Ann Schaefer and Mary Louise Miller. With “Sea Scamps” (comedy), Scenic and News. Prices Is, .children Gd. A story of the Air Force in war time will be the attraction on Saturday. It is titled “The Lone Eagle,”
