! TOWN HALL PICTURES. ‘ g _..__ 5‘ MR 'I.O_GAN, 'L7_s_A, ‘ I Tom Mix; ‘ills: greatest exponent of ‘Western drama, will be seen at the Town Hall Theatre in his latest photoIllluyy “Mr L 033“; U-S-A-"’ to-night. In this new picture. 'I‘~:n1 Mix appears i in an entirely new ’iili:pel"sL)llation—tha(; {of a. man, who. \'\'hi?.i not a. soldier in 11110 t‘n.~nclicrs, Silo\\’.~‘_' his patriotism ‘by routing the soon:-t on:':‘.:ie.~; of his roun. Mry. The plloto-draina, tells how Gernl:lll_‘ag.'t:ltol‘s try to: instigate strikes in 21 ‘tungsten mine, whosc products is. (-x(=.<‘ocliilgly imporzant for Government war work. In the long run these men are foiled and given their just deserts. tlirough‘ the bravciy of the Secret ser-« vice man. It carries a hc:lrt'interesi: love story which tl2l'-':3.f.cns to end dis—ustrously -through the ardent patriotism of the girl who believes her lover to be a slacker until -the dramatic climax discloses ills idcxxtity in an entirely unexpected and novel manner. You should not mi.~:s “Mr Logan,U.5.A.,” and we \\‘oul'd advise you to bring your friends. This great s"barattraction is supported by -the greatest Sunshine comedy zhat has ever been screened. ‘ “A SON OF A HUN.” SA'I‘URDAY NIGHT. No one should liilss the brilliant William Fox photoplay, “For Liberfy,” to be shown at the Town Hall." This play is quite {be gx-nn.‘nst' of its kind -that has ever been presented on ‘(lip screen. It is a wonderful story of :1 woman’s love, SOl in the midst of war, the scenes raking place in Berlin at. the time America r_ie<3la‘-'e<l war. In this maelstrom 9. young American woman is caught. ‘huifi rho. ni‘f;iil's of her he:lrt are not overcome. even by -the Sa‘l'l‘l"l;. » Bliss Gladys Brock*.=;ell does brilliant work in this dl-tuna. as the leading figure, and nothing that she has done before can compare with it.

“ THE KING'S. T t “THE MAID OF BELGIUM.” I ALICE BRADY. What war can do to an unfortunate tgi-fl refugee is startingly depicted in I“T.he Maid of Be-lgiunz,“ the ‘World ifilm drama w»hi.c.h ILt:2.l's Alice Brady, {and is being screened at the K*‘.ng’s ‘to-night. An Amci-iea.n couplg. inur--ling Belgium at the outbreak of, the war came upon a half dist:-actc;l Bel[gium girl wandering aimlessly about E-11/er pretty Village-_ They :Id:)pt her as _ :‘they are childless, although the hus%band longs for chiidrcn. Then the terrible truth develops, and .'\4_lor(-e is_ 3-going to be a mother. The ;;'2espcrat.,=. |woman persuades Adorec to give her the baby, and deceivcs i,lle._hus.band, for by -a clever ruse he thinks the child :is his own. The conclusio.-1 uf the ‘drama is most powerful and contains 'a. general element of surprise. Very ‘beautiful scenic Vic-W5 of Long liland !Sound are in -this pi«3tur«.‘.‘as well as ircinarka-ble. views of the Germans at their desperate work in Belgium. The» mfihn is a. niasterpiece of plo-‘.—mak?r~g, ,and scenes of emotional str-.:«ngt'h ‘Labound. Alice Brady in the princ?-.pa]‘ {role is wonderful, and rhe is supporticd. by a competant and even. cast. ;"‘MoWe-d down by the rod tide of War” !.lescri:bes the little Belgian village‘ isaint Michelet after the Hans had ifinishcd with it, and its inhabitants, ;and this scene opens the powerful iworld film drama “The Maid of Beiigium” now screening at The _King’s. l“God’s Gl-eatdlt Gift.” was the title goriginally given to “The Maid of Belfgium,” the World film drama. starring 'Alice Brady now screening at The !¢King’s.
