♦ TOWN HA'LL. In “Let ’er go Gallagher,” the feature at the Town Hall to-night, the director has well anfi truly ■ caught the spirit of the story of Richard H. Davis, from which this absorbing film of newspaper life has been adapted. The action lias at all times been speeded up so you get no slackening of interest on the part of the audience in watching the exploits. The former role provides an opportunity for Harrison Ford to give us some work much better than his light comedy efforts. The latter part gives us a new Junior Couglilan, and in it we see him in his initial starring role. He is a great little trouper who is 'bound to go far. Junior is a newsboy with a nose for sleuthing, aided by’ his dog pal, and it is through this precocity of his that he is enabled to give his friend Ford, a boastful crime reporter on a big city daily, the big news of the murder of an important business man, which Ford, through laziness, has overlooked. They become great pals, and Junior starts work as a copy boy on the paper. Later he ife the means of getting a huge scoop for Ford’s paper when the pair capture a much wanted criminal in it, thrilling encounter, after Junior has trailed him.
