AMUSEMENTS

OUR PICTURES—TO-NIGHT. . The all-British production of "Annie Laurie" which is to be screened at the Town Hall to-night is not to be confused with the American production of same name which was shown here some months ago. To-night's picture, with Alma Taylor in the leading role, is an entirely new production, and was produced by the Hepworth Company on actual spots where the various incidents of the play were supposed to have taken place. All who can enjoy a heart appealing Scottish romance should.make a point of seeing this s charming play, the story of which was suggested by Robert Burns's famous poem. Comedy, topical and interest pictures support the feature and complete what promises to be a most entertaining bill. The stoves at the Town Hall are a complete success and patrons greatly appreciate them these cold evenings. THE KING'S. "THE NEW MOON."—When you read the newspapers some time ago were you startled and shocked to learn that young girls in Russia were forced to reg ster at the free love bureaux'? Suppose you were forced to become the companion of a man you loathed? All of these possibilities are placed before you for your own answer, in Norma Talrnadge's latest Select Picture, "The New Moon." You will sympathise with The young Princess who is torn from the side of her Prince, and your heart will ache at the sight of young girls taken from their homes. You wll grieve with the old moon at the sights of disorder and sorrow; but in the end, when "The New Moon" finds the lovers safe and happy, you go home with a happy smile.
