TOWN HALL. A regular cocktail of laughter is ‘‘Naughty Baby," a l the Town Hall on Wednesday. With Alice White as the principal ingredient in the cocktail, this lively story moves along with a laugh a minute, due to the able direction of Mervyn LeRov. Jack Mullinll is featured with Miss White, who has the role of a check girl at the Ritzy Hotel, and who is herself more ritzy than the establishment. Alice has no idea of slaying poor long, and when .Tack comes into view with the intention of gliding the Great White Way with a broad brush, she has a great yearning to help in liis noble work. Jack plays the role of the heir to millions who is trying to spend a good part of it in advance. Alice is a regular fourfimer, and works three of her humble neighbourhood admirers, one an Italian, the other Jewish and the third Irish, for everything she needs to catch Mulhall. The roles of these “three musketeers” are admirably taken by George Stone, Benny Rubin and Andy Divine. One works in a modiste shop and borrows gowns, the other in a pawnshop where he can borrow jewels, while the other works in a garage and can furnish ears. Also “Stunt Man” (Comedy), and News.

Glenn Tryon, popular comedy stafr departs from his usual “line” in “Lonesome,” Saturday’s feature. This feature carries more dramatic interest than the usual Trvon efforts. SHANNON TALKIES.

As Florenz Ziegfeld has “glorified” the American girl, so Radio Pictures glorifies Ziegfeld in its superb spectacle of music, beauty and drama “Rio Rita,” showing at the Renown Theatre, Shannon, tonight. All the rich qualities which drew Broadway crowds for 62 consecutive weeks to the Ziegfeld theatre have been retained in the fijm production and to these have been added mobility and magnitude which the stage, even under the direction of a Ziegfeld, could not hope to _attain. Against the most lavish sets yet seen on the screen is played and sung on the magnificent drama of the Mexican borderland by Bebe Daniels, John Boles, and a supporting east of hundreds. Mighty vocal choruses, inspiring* dance routines and beauty assemblies show for the first time the endless possibilities of the speaking screen. Messrs Madge Bros, are running a special ’bus to Shannon tonight. On Friday and Saturday “Shanghai Lady”’ will be screened.
