TOW(N HALL.

The complications that ensue when a rough-and-ready railroad wrecking crew boss marries a show girl can readily be imagined. Such is the situation in the First National picture “The Crash,” which comes to the Town Hall tonight. Mil ton Sills is starred in the picture as the wrecking boss, while charming Thelma Todd is east as the chorus girl. Others in the inst include William Demurest, Wade Botcler, Yola d’Avril, De Wit -Jennings and Fred Warren, the story provides plenty of dramatic action, a train wreck, thrilling runs of the wrecking train to the scene and not a little comedy, inspired by Director Edward Kline, tor years one of the leading comedy directors of the industry. The railroad scenes in the production were dimed in and near Truekio, California. Truckle, located in the High Sierras, is said to be the most colorful railroad .town in existence and the highest railroad junction in the United s rates. With "Kitchen Talent,” (Comedy) and .News. Usual prices. "Thru Different Eyes,” Monday’s aitraction offers an entirely new and novel plot. Thru the eyes of (he prosecutor, the condemned and the actual culprit- the theme moves rapidly thru the strongest web of < ircumstantial evidence that ever condemned an innocent man. Elemental passions vie with mystery. Did the defendant betray friendsiiip, was his wife a wanton? Or did the victim deserve his fate?. What actually happened was — well, you’ll thrill to it as nothing else.

Don’t miss "The Black Watch,” next Wednesday.
