ENTERTAINMENTS.

TOWJN'HALL. Featured in “Wpmanwise,” a Fox Films production said to be packed with humor and high adventure in foreign places, William Russel, June Collyer and Walter Pidgeon are coming to the Town Hall tonight. The story is laid in the oil fields of Persia and centers about the love affairs of Russell, a n’er-ao-well, and Pidgeon, a United States Consul, in the land of the pashas. June Collyer, cast as a beautiful American girl, is sent to Jedda to serve as assistant consul to Pidgeon. Adventure and fast action combine here to keep the entire keyed throughout the length of the story. Hard fighting, hilarious comedy and keen human values have been capitalized by Director Ray to the best possible advantage. With comedy, News and Scenic at usual prices.

Irene Rich will be featured on Monday night in “Dearie,” also at (usual prices. Cecil iDe Mille, who made “The Ten Commandments,” has probably achieved his supreme triumph in “The King of Kings,” in Foxton on Tuesday and Wednesday next. No pen can fittingly describe this spectacle. It must be seen. Seats maybe booked at Heath’s. ROYAL. Lovers of a good western story will welcome the appearance of Hoot Gibson at the Royal to-night in a picture from the pen of Peter B, Kyne. It carries the title “The Rawhide Kid,” and deals with the adventures of a raw Irishman who proved himself a great horseman and a greater fighter and who eventually shows a clean pair of heels to all the star riders in an exciting cross-country race which forms the gripping climax. On the same programme is “The Newlywed’s Mistake” (Comedy), and English and overseas News. Prices 9d and 1/6. Children 3d and 6d.
