ENTERTAINMENTS.

ST. JAMES THEATRE. Ihe promise of good entertainment iield out in the screening of “The Bishop Misbehaves”' was made good when the film was screened at the St. James Theatre fast night. It is a very amusing tale, with some tense moments, and has been very well told. Showing to-morrow and on Monday, there will be “Red Salute.” The hitherto little-known workings of the Border Patrol are revealed in this rollicking Reliance romantic comedy starring Barbara Stanwyck, with Robert Young opposite. This branch of the Federal servico comes into play when a pretty, socially prominent co-ed and a young buck private find themselves stranded across the Mexican border and make a wild break for home, with Cupid doing the back-seat driving, and Federal Army men trailing.

MAJESTIC THEATRE. A king and queen whose romance did not begin until they were wed, and who were joined in the strangest marriage that history records, are the central figures in Cecil B. De Mille’s Paramount epic, “The Crusades,” which will be shown at the Majestic Theatre to-morrow and on Monday. They are Richard the Lion-Heart and Berengaria, as played by Henry Wilcoxon and Loretta Young in Do Mille’s epic of the Middle Ages. In the picture Wilcoxon bargains for supplies for his troops, promising to marry the local king’s daughter in payment. But, taking advantage of the strange laws of thosei times, Wilcoxon sends his sword to be married by proxy to his bride.
