Clark and J. Sommerville have arrived in Greytown. Both were members of the Forestry Unit which had been on service in England. TOWN HALL A BRILLIANT COMEDY. No more brilliant comedy has been produced in recent years than “The Black Sheep of Whitehall,” in which Will Hay has the leading role and which will be shown tonight. It is a scream from start to finish. In “The Mayor of 44th Street,” George Murphy portrays the principal character in a thrilling drama.
