AMUSEMENTS

TOWN HALL TO-NIGHT. A powerful story is promised in "Sacred Silence," starring William Russell which is coming to the Town Hall to-night only. The plot is sensational and a new departure in motion picture work. William Russell, the popular actor, makes a strong; character of the idealistic hero, who makes the supreme sacrifice of being branded aas deserter and a coward Vt> \ save a woman's honor. Russell's forceful personality adapts itseW thoroughly to the role. It is a picturethat will be well worth seeing.

THE KING'S—TO-NIGHT. "WITHIN THE LAW':—The, New York Evening Journal is enthusiastic and states that "Within The Law" is the greatest melodramatic motion picture ever offered the public. Although it is a long pictuue there is not one second that could be taken out. Every character is taken by a star performer and each one played his part even better than in the original stage production:—lt is a remarkable achievement of the camera. Don't miss this picture whatever else you miss. It is worth walking miles to see and its worth any price of admission you may have to pay—it is a great picture. Usual prices wall be charged.

Follow the trail of Wapi. the kUlpr, to the King's Theatre on Saturday, where "Back to God's Country" Is being screened. Wapi, the man-killer tore at Ms enemy—and hers —the man who forced them both into the pitiless wasTes of 'the great Northlard — where none but the strong survive! This is the tremendous climax of James Oliver Curwood's story—which is quite unique; filmed north of 56 degrees, with the cold so intense that one player lost his life, another his feet through frostbite, the while company enduring frightful privations. If; is a story of the open spaces, of the land of everlasting snow where me gaunt wolf stalks its prey, where settle their feudal battles with the knife or gun. On the same programme 1 will be shown Charlie Chaplin's latest —"Sunnyside," a TUral romance that makes you yell with laughter and yet touchs your heart. In "Sunnyside" the great little comedian is funnier than ever—irresistibly—gloriously funny but his fun it pathetic and ludicrous :it once. It's the sort that will chkrnt tlie youngest child and warm the oldest heart. The plan is now open at the Kings.
