THE KING’S

( »“G,KAY WOLE’S ghost;;

' H. B. Warner, .the.famous star, has a virile and .colourful vehicle in “.The Gray Wolf’s Ghost”, a screen-adapta-tion of Bret Harte’s exciting tale of early California days, hie fascination and glamour of Harte’s characters are graphically portrayed and the story has -lost none of its gripping intensity in t its screen adaptation. The action of the play begins ; when Harry West, whose father has deserted him- and. his mother many years before, goes in search of his father to demand justice for the wrong done. ‘ ‘-Strikes and Stars ” is a Sunbeam comedy of con•vict life, featuring Hank Mann and his beauty girls. Pearl Whit© will introduce some new and sensational situations into that serial of serials, “The Lightning Eaider.”

i TOWN HALL PICTURES. “SAHARA” Even though the H.C.L. prevents their ever owning them, all women love a display of sartorial luxury, and in gowns of unforgettable beauty that are displayed by Louise Glaum in “ Sahara” there is a special appeal to the gentler sex; over thirty costumes adorn her in the varied scenes, and; she, was never so beautiful and pictorial before in her career. £six of the creations are from Paquin in Paris, while every one is the last word in modern fashion. Few pictures have been staged with the luxury and entire disregard for expense that make “Sahara” one of the most notable screen triumphs of to-day. “Sahara”, rich and sumptuous in setting, colourful and powerful as to story, its scenes shifting from fascinating Paris to enchanting Cairo and the sun-burned l desert of Sahara, with Louise Glaum the sumptuously-gowned star, will be ’screened at. Town Hall on Saturday. A story of woman ’s frailty, her appalling vanity and final awakening to wifehood and mother- j lioo.l and all they mean, "Sahara” furnishes for Louise Glaum an opportunity she has never had before to show her capability in roles requiring both beauty and emotional talent.
