TOWN HALL “THE CORSICAN BROTHERS.” Douglas Fairbanks, Junr., plays a dual part in the brilliant drama, “The Corsican Brothers,” which will be shown tomorrow at the matinee and again in the evening. “The Corsican Brothers” is outstanding entertainment through fine production, brilliant acting and Alexander Dumas’s amazing romance. It should be well liked by Town Hall movie patrons.
