TOWjN HALL. Alore often than not, a picture tells of romance and courting, and ends in marriage. “The Alan in Hobbles" the Ticany-Stahl production goes further. We are introduced to a romance as tender as any the screen has knoAvn, to find it shattered after marriage by the leech-like qualities of the bride’s family. They icannot keep away from the happy couple, and eventually wreck the husband’s business and drive him away. In New York, he finds expression for his Avork in a famous studio, seeking to break the hobbles of his wife’s family’. But Peter B. Kyne, famous author, has given us a surprising tAvist to his story, that will make it worth your Avhile going to the Toato Hall on Wednesday to see this picture. With “T'arzan the Aligbty,” “Papa Spank” (Comedy), and News. Usual price*. “Wild Oa t Hetty,” the neAv British Dominion’s film, to be shoAvn on Friday, is undoubtedly a triumph for Alabel Poulton. The story’, by Florence Kilpatrick, which is on the lines of (Shaw’s “Pygmalion,” L a most absorbing one; but it is Mabel Poulton’s Cockney- eharaeterisation, rendered Avith vivacity and a real sense of comedy, that is the most important point of this British production. Usual prices.
