ENTERTAINMENTS.

TOWN HALL. ' Having a large amount of money which one does not own but which one cannot lid oneself of may cause serious problems. This is the difficulty which Richard Dix turns into a roaring comedy in his latest picture, a farce comedy, “Easy Come, Easy Go.” This piture will be the attraction at the Town Hall on Wednesday. The problem is one of honesty. Dix has the money, can’t get rid of it, and yet feels he isn’t entitled to it. “Easy Come, Easy Go” was adapted from tho stage play by; Owen Davis. It concerns the activities of a young American, who is imbued with the theory that honesty is the best policy. However, he assists, unwittingly, in a bank holdup, and then, upon learning of how the money has been stolen, he endeavours to return it to its rightful owners. With other pictures at usual prices, “Dynamite,” the canine star will be seen on Friday in “The Call of the Heart,” a western drama. ROYAL. Hobart Bosworth, the distinguished stage and screen star who plays the part of James Newman in the Master Picture production, “The Blood Ship,” the feature on the screen at the Royal theatre next Saturday gives a greater characterisation in this role than any other he has yet portrayed, not even excepting “The Sea Wolf” or “Behind the Door,” two earlier photoplays in which he appeared with maiked success. “The Blood Ship” was adapted from Norman Springer’s novel of the same name, Mr. Bosworth thought so much bf the story and the screen possibilities that he bought the motion picture rights. These he turned over to Columbia Pictures, which produced the screen version on an elaborate scale, and at a cost reputed to be over a quarter of a million dollars. Vivid scenes in the picture were taken on board an old clipper ship, the “Bohemia,” rechristened the “Golden Bough” in the picture. Prices 1/- and 2/-. Children half price.
