TOWN HALL PICTURES. “FOR LIBERTY3,’ The management of this popular theatre pro)-ents a splendid new William Fox photoplay in which Glaydl Brockwell is the star, called “For Liberty.” We know that this is sufficient to awaken your interest and to insure your a.tt.e-n-d-ance. This new picture is one that ha.s caused a great deal of c-omamernt because of its excellence, and the especially good story that it tells. It has to do with a. brilliant wo-man’s affection under the Stress of war conditions. The scenes are laid at Berlin just when the United States. went ‘into the European conflict but -the soul of the ‘woman who is caught in the midist of conflictiug emotion. is the predominating feature of it. This Woman remains loyal to her country and her heart in spite of all the efforts: todistract her. You can inragine Miss Brockwell in such a. role and the treat that is before You. In the cast are such splendid actors as Charley Clary, Colin Chase, and Bertram Grassiby. This is‘ 8- C‘-ha-11‘-*0 to see an excellent play presented with all the fineness that marks the William Fox pzoductions and I know that YOll and your friends will be- glad to hear that it will be at our tlmatre. Supported by the 11th Episode of that great serial, “The Railroad Raiders,” in which Helen Holmes performs several hair-raising s-tunts. She fumishede thrills _when a. floating fl'e'ight car imprisoning her is split by a. boat: when she leafi from the boat to an elevating draw-bridge: when she jumps from the (ll'2lWlJTltlgC. on to a train; and later by spanning in a running jump the distance between two pm-ts of a train_ The story progresses with its usual speedMONDAY NIGHT.
