OUR PICTURE S—'l'O'WN HALL.

MAY ALLISON (METRO) 'l‘O-NIGHT “Castles in the Air,” which is showing to—night. only at “Ours,” is a Comedy Which gives the delightful May Allison excellent opportunities fol‘ 3 dislllay of her inimitable talents for good, wholesome entertainment, As Fortuna, a romantic little usher in a fashionable theatre, she plays the part of a. girl who believes that romance, except ill books, is all “bunk,” for none of the love and excitement -she has read of has ever come into her life. One day, however, she does meet a millionaire, bu't, contrary to all precedent, no romance develops. Truth, however, proveslstronger than fic.tion, for things begin tohappen that seem like a fairy tale ‘to the romantic girl. Besides being the means of bringing lasting‘ happiness into the life of a. rich man, she also finds her own love story in _quite another direction. I‘: is humour blended with a stirring heart appeal. .

THE KING’S.

' THE TEMPLE OF DUSK. Certainly the greatest Hayakawa picture ever ‘seen here is the opinion of all those who saw “The Temple of Dusk" on Saturday night. For the convenience of shopkeepers it -has been decided to again screen this feature to-night at the King's. Akira, a young poet of the Samurai clan, loves Ruth Dale, who is his father's ward. Her aifection, however, turn to Edward Markham, a filan of her own race. Biarkham soon turns to Adrienne Chester, and Ruth, ‘on her deathbed, gains ‘Akira’s promise -that he will watch over her motherless daughter. Blossom. Markham marries the Chester girl and returns to America. Akira follows to be near Blossom. Markham surprised his wife with Wilson, and kills the latter. Akira. assumes the crinfe to protect Blossom. He breaks jail when she writes that she is lonesorfie and is fatally wounded. but faithful to his trust, he goes to the child and enters the “Temple of Dusk” to meet his great reward. Louisa G-laum in “slrackled,” a great Paralta feature, will be shown on Tuesday.
