TOWN HALL.

Portraying a character that every theatre-goer can understand and sympathise with, Emil Mannings scores another 'tremendous triumph in his latest Paramount starring picture, “Sins of the Fathers.” As a German-American, Jennings is ideally cast for the part that lie portrays. The film is showing at the Town Hall on Wed? nesd-ay. In “Sins of the Fathers,” Jannings plays the role of Wilhelm Spengler, a German-American waiter and saloon keeper, who becomes a fabulously wealthy boot-legger only to have his life crash around his shoulders, bringing him in the end back to his original status. In the leading feminine role is Ruth Chatter-ton, the famous star of the legitimate stage, who makes her screen debut in this picture. Her role is -thoroughly an unsympathetic one, but one which will serve to introduce her to screen audiences under the best of auspices. With supports at usual prices. At Friday’s cabaret patrons will see fascinating Mabel Poulton, in a sparkling comedy drama of aviation and matrimonial troubles; adapted from the famous stage play, “Summer Lightning.” You will see how troublesome wives can be when their husbands go off “on the razzle.” Cabaret prices.
