VAUDEVILLE AND PICTURES One of the most unusual vaudeville acts on the stage will be presented a the Capitol Theatre this evening, tv is Pedrini’s Famous Performing Baboons. These baboons were cap. tured by Paul Pedrini himself, trained as actors, acrobats, juggler* and comedians. Their performance » one that will interest everyone. The chief pictorial attraction thievening is the tine Sir Harry Lauriefilm, “Huntingtower,” the story 0 f a Scottish grocer who became embroilec in a maelstrom of adventure and tr. rescue of a princess in distress. “Huntingtower” more than fulfil, everything that was dreamt. si Harry Lauder is gloriously good. H combines as no one but he could d Scottish humour and Scottish idealise Everyone laughs at his walk, his band’ legs, his bonnet all askew; but at the same time realises the grit, and das. and pride of the man. This is a story of adventure as romantic as any told “WILD WEST ROMANCE” AT EMPIRE Thrills, suspense, and beautiful scenery are seen in “Wild "Wet: Romance,” starring Rex Bell, to be shown at the Empire Theatre this evening. It deals with the life in a small western town on the borders of the bad lands, and concerns itself principally with a good-natured, easygoing youngster, played by Bell. He never allows anything to trouble hin: until he sees a little boy thrown fror a freight train by a brakeman. Then he becomes a raging demon. He adopt* the boy, and the two ride the range together. It is a logical, well motivated story, in which Bell falls in love with an evangelist’s daughter, who, however, prefers the town’s bad boy. “A Dog of the Regiment,” Rin-Tin-'T’in’s latest, will also be shown.
