ENTERTAINMENT

TOWN HALL. A military ctrara of great interest will be screened at the Town Hall on Friday. “One of the Best” was very successful as an Adelplii melodrama, and in transferring it to the screen the producers availed themselves of “cinema liberty”' and set the story in the picturesque Regency period when all was fair in love arid war, without as far as villains were concerned. The court -martial and drumming out- scenes, with the -closest attention paid to every detail, are not only picturesque ' but effective. Throughout the acting is good and the verdict of -the Prince of Wales —“excellent entertainment,” marks the picture as being something out of the- ordinary run. With Comedy and News. Usual prices. Louise Fazenda., wearing some of the most fantastic costumes of her screen career, carries .-much of the weight, of comedy relief -with Fan-ell Macdonald in “Riley the Cop,” at the Town Hall on Saturday next. Louise starts as a serving-girl in a Munich beer garden, but hits Paris rigged out -as a Scotch lassie wearing a tam-o-shanter and other bizarre trimmings. Shp tries to outdrink Macdonald, and, despite the fact that it is called “a man’s job,” she almost succeeds in “putting him under the table.” Usual prices.
