TOWN HALL.

First it was the lipstick—then came bobbed hair—next, the short skirt and now naturally we display “Bare Knees,” which happens to ho the title of the latest Gotham Production which is to headline the programme at the Town Hall Cabaret on Friday. Just as its title implies, “Bare Knees” is a story of the girl of to-day hut—and here is the difference—the author, A dele Buffington, is in sympathy with her subject and instead of ranting and raving about how the girls of today are headed for destruction, etc., she has presented a photoplay which proves that girls are to-day just what they have always been—girls. With supports. Usual Cabaret Prices.

Ivor Novello, England’s most popular screen star, will be seen next Saturday at the Town Hall in his latest, screen, triumph, “The Gallant Hussar,” in which he plays a rehkless, extravagant, Hungarian officer, whose love is blighted through his own foolishness. Evelyn Holt is his 'beautiful new leading lady. Usual Prices.

A double for the black monk, Rasputin, who dominated the Russian court during the world war, was found in the person of Dimitri Alexis, and he appears in a vital sequence of (Fox Films, “The Red Dance,” which is coming to the Town Hall theatre on Monday. Doubles for the Czar and lOzarina were also discovered to play important roles in this production.
