ENTERTAINMENTS

TOWiN HALL. Patrons of the Town Hall are well catered for on Friday with “A Certain Young Man,” as the chief attraction. This is Metro-Gold - wyn-Mayer’s latest starring vehicle for Ramon Navarro, in which the hero of “Ben Hur,” “The Road to Romance,” “The Student Prince,” and “Across to Singapore,” gives another memorable example of his matchless talent. The story finds him-in the centre of London’s social whirl as an ultra-modern youing nobleman with more admirers than he or his valet can remember, so he decides on a fishing expedition to the Continent with a 'bachelor friend. At fashionable Biarritz, however, he meets the one and only girl and they fall deeper in love as each day passes. Just after he proposes complications arise through the arrival of a London belle who cleverly intrigues him into a dramatic situation on the strength of past friendship. With comedy, News and Scenic. Usual prices. Just how modern crooks plan and carry out their schemes in their raids upon society, is vividly pictured in Fox Films, “Dressed to Kill,” which is to have a showing at the Town Hall on Saturday with a special Vaudeville added attraction, “Vulini,” Master magician. ROYAL. The “Merry-Go-ltound” lovers are together on the screen again.
