ENTERTAINMENTS.

TOWtN HALL. Olive Borden comes to the Town Hall Theatre in Fox Films “Come to My House,” which will be shown on Friday. The picture, which is taken from the well known story of the same name by Arthur Roche, has many tense situations that rise tc a powerful climax. The photoplay is further enhanced by lavish settings, picturesque scenery and beautiful gowns. The splendid characterization of Miss Borden as the high spirited girl who is engaged to one man and in love with another is excellent, and Antonio Moreno, who plays opposite Miss Borden, proves an interesting foil for Miss Borden’s temperament. Others in the cast of “Come to My House” are Doris Lloyd, Ben Bard, Cornelius Keefe and Richard Maitland, Alfred E. Green directed. Also “My Hero” (Comedy), News. Usual prices. John Gilbert is the star in Saturday’s attraction “Man Woman & Son,” a mystery drama. ROYAL. Many fine scenes of the British fleet in action, shots of an intimate nature aboard the H.M.S. Tiger and the destroyer H 54, form the background for the plot of the Naval melodrama of “The Flag Lieutenant.” This is a screen adaptation of the famous stage success of the same name as played by Cyril Maude, and now reaches us per medium of the cinema art. This Paramount British release is said to be a prime favorite of His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales, who is a keen judge of the finer possibilities of the motion picture. “The Flag Lieutenant,” which stars Henry Edwards and Dorothy Seacombe, will have its premiere at the Royal Theatre next Saturday. Also screening “H.R.H. The Prince of Wales,” his life story. Prices 1/and 1/6. Children half price.
