TOWjN HALL.

Cold, bleak wastes of the far North in midwinter provide the setting for “The Sin Sister,” Fox Film, at the Town Hall iCabaret on Friday. A party of six travellers, three men and three women, is left, stranded in a deserrted cabin without food or weapons. “The Sin Sister” is' the story of how the mask of civilization is torn aside under the maddening, nervour tension, revealing the persons as they really are. Joseph T. Horn, a rich man, turns in cowardly fashion to religion; Ethelyn, his daughter, becomes slovenly and selfish; Peter a rather bored social lion, becomes a man for the first time; Sister Burton, an evangelist, becomes an atheist and Pearl, a common entertainer, becomes charmingly feminine and self-sacrificing. As a drama in which raw emotions have full sway, “The Sin Sister” has seldom, if ever, been equalled, according to those who have seen previews. With Comedy and News. Cabaret Prices.

In the new British Dominion’s film, “You Know What Sailors Are,” which is to be screened at the Town Hall on Saturday, Chili Boucliier, now officially known as tho British “It” girl, will be seen as the daughter of an old Spanish seacaptain. She sails with her 'father on his old weather-beaten schooner, and the rivalry and complications that our Chili causes amongst the sailors, provide one of the most humourous comedies yet seen on the screen. Miss Bouchier 'will he remembered as a little professional dancer in “Palais De Danse.” Usual Prices.
