AMUSEMENTS

TOWN HALL—TO-NIGHT. Douglas Fairbanks. —For sheer infectious fun, romantic scenery, sensational thrills and an absorbing love story, there is,nothing in pictures to beat the superb Artcraft-Paramount motion 9J,ranra, ?i “He Conies Up Smiling. ’’ Doug. Fairbanks has never been more brimful of humour, or of wild nerveshocking stunts. There is so much j:yous action in the story that audiences ripple or roar with laughter the whole time. You sec Dong, performing dangerous stunts in his effort to catch a canary. He knew he would be sacked if ho didn’t. Then he decides on the life of an adventurer and sure enough there are adventurs galore. Fairbanks has a thrilling fight equal to his best in other pictures and wild autombile rides and smashes ad-J a strong element of the spectacular to this, one of the best, if not the very best, the popular comedian-athlete has ever given the screen. A tip-top Billy West comedy and the latest Paramount gazette complete a fine programme."

THE KING’S—TO-NIGHT. Pictures and Vaudeville. Usual prices for a treble attraction, two excellent pictures and the return of the popular vaudeville star. Nat Hanley. Last night’s audience would not let Mr Hanley stop his antics; they were even more humourous than his previous efforts and that is saying much. To-night’s items will be entirely new and will - include several request numbers.

A wife from Saturday to Monday sounds like something that is not very proper, in fact, quite improper. But the week-enders wdio appear in “Experimental Marriage” are quite harmless, only the wife has fads, and one of them is that in these modern days husband and wife see too much of each other and doesn’t hubby think ——f And so on, and 'so 'Om, till JhubWy agrees —but he doesn’t 'like it and schemes accordingly. The new Select comedy drama "Experimental Marriage,” takes this theme as the basis o|f, ia br|ghb and [amusing play of hearts, and with Constance Talmadge as the wife and Harrison Ford as the husband, the production is piquantly flavoured and cunningly sentimental. “The Man of Might,” episode 5, is more exciting than ever and will, introduce some new thrills.
