TOWN HALL. A Alardi Gras and Venetian celebration combined can’t be more picturesque and colorful than the circus background that figures in “The Life of Riley,” the riotous film comedy eo-featuriug George Sidney and Charlie Alhrray at the Town Hall to-night. Elephants and saimels, wild men and bearded women, clowns and hula girls in this sequence vie with a carload of fireworks, exploding among the principal players, a riot and a village lire, and many other comedy elements, in providing laughs and thrills. Rural comedy has in the past been considered natural mirth material, but in combination with such “exotic” thrills it is doubly effective in “The Life of Riley.” The famous comics of stage and .screen, Sidney and Murray, are characterised as rural town Fire Chief and Police Chief, respectively, and Sam Hardy, Myrtle Stedman, June Marlowe, Stephen Carr, Edward Davis and Bert Woodruff have interesting supporting roles. With, comedy, scenic and Topical Budget. Usual prices. Irene Rich will be the featured played in Atonday’s picture, “The Silver Slave,” a dramatic story of a mother’s great straggle to prevent her daughter raining her life in a mad lust for wealth. Usual prices.
