ENTERTAINMENTS

TOWN HALL. Tim McCoy’s latest picture, “The Adventurer,”, due at the Town Hall on Friday is based on a thrilling adventure in the South American Republic of Costa Ora. It is this penchant of his for an historical basis to his pictures that makes each- MelC'oy picture so unusually interesting, and one looks forward to his “next” with pleasurable anticipation. The story deals with a rebellion in Costa Ora, /which has disastrous results for the lovely girl to whom Jinx' McClellan has given his heart, and to her father, the deposed president. The rally of avenging counters, thrilling hand-to-hand encounters, and the rescue of the girl from the clutches of the usurper are gripping incidents in a virile, /dramatic production. Also “Jack and Jilted” (Oom'eds^),-News and Magazine. Usual prices. Thrilling drama of the spooks and bouse-of-mystery school are coupled with side-splitting comedy situations in “A Thief in the Dark,” Fox Films production at the Town Hall next Saturday. Usual prices. ROYAL. , “Good Morning, Judge,” the funniest picture Reginald Denny ever made, has been hooked by the Royal theatre and will open here on Saturday. Denny has long been the screen’s comedian par excellence, but in this Universal picture ho reaches the pinnacle of his mirth-provoking qualities. Imagine Denny as a wealthy young man who confesses to the most dastardly crimes so that he may remain in a charity mission for homeless crooks and lie near the girl he loves. And all the time the girl is trying to reform liim. The star breezes through the role in his usual laugh-winning manner. Audiences have laughed aplenty at him in former pictures, but “Good Morning, Judge,” will arouse a. regular cyclone of ribtickling hilarity. Prices 1/- and 2/-. Children half price.
