AMUSEMENTS.

THE KING’S,

Mae Marsh appears in what is without question the best Goldwyn picture in which she has yet starred. It is

“Spotlight Sadie,” and presents the appealing star in precisely the sort of role she is best equipped to play. She is Sadie Sullivan, described as ‘a whimsical product or DU Grin.’ Thatched roofs, jaunting cars simple attire and all the fea.ures of life in Ireland are beauties fufly pictured early in the story. Later the peasant girl comes to Ne v York and i- time embarks on a theatrical career, becoming. by reason of her shyness art] aloofness, ‘the samd.v showgirl’ in a dashing musical corned r. Contrasting sharply with her innocence is the worldly wisdom of her assonates. This is cruelly bro ig.it to her alien-

This girl lays a trap '’or Sab o into wh’ch tHe girl promptly fa Us anti her sweetheart i s made to believe that Sadie’s saintliness is only a pose. Then Sadie learns that her nadir :l tastes have been to exploit „ho company, tluongti the press agents activities. A startling solution comes out of this tangle m which Sadie finally triumphs. •

TOWN HALL—TO-NIGHT ONLY

Hale'Hamilton (Metro). “After His

Own Heart,,” a very lino' comedydrama from the story which recently appeared in the ‘ f AJH-Story Magazine. ’ ’ features the ever-popular Hale Hamilton —the clever Metro star with the infectious smile. This amusing and highly cnteHaining photoplay will be the attraction for to-night, only at the Town Hall. While humour is the keyno„te of the plot there are many powerful dramatic twists with a grim and amazing mystery in -hhe back-

ground, the whole combining to form one of the most absorbing Metros seen here Dr a good whPo. At the matinee to-morrow at the Town Hall the programme will again be entirely changed and will feature Billie Burke, the fascinating Paramount sfar in a most original drama, "The Make-Believe Wife.” supported by a clever Mack Sennet comedy entitled “Trying to get Along.”
