ENTERTAINMENTS.

ST. JAMES THEATRE. “The Tree of Liberty,” showing finally to-night, is something more than a. spectacular, colorful motion picture. It is a picture of a, special type, and from it the world! can learn a. great deal. Cary Grant and Martha. Scott are co-starred in. memorable performances. “International Forum” is.the first “Round Table of the Screen” to bring famous personalities together in frank, open discussion on world-wide events. Sir Harry Batterbee said: “This is one of the best shorts I have ever seen.” An entertaining threestar bill lias been; selected for Thursday and Eli day, commencing at 7.45 p.m.. and also at 2 p.in. on Friday, with chapter 8 of the great serial “The Drums of Fu .Mandm.” An exciting drama, “Fugitive from Justice,” is a. triangle story, but not the usual eternal one. Participants in a three-cor-nered chase are the police, and: daring insurance agent, and a gangster chief aided and abetted by his tough henchmen and a double-dealing, blonde, night club songstress. Roger Pryor, Sheila Bromley and Lucille Fairbanks are featured in this high speed, devoid-of-dull-moment film. A saucy story of a district attorney who falls in love with a. girl he’s trying to send to prison is presented in Paramount’s “Remember the Night,” and starring Barbara Stanwick and Fred McMurray. Gay and light hearted with, comedy and music, it is masterfully directed and acted.
