AMUSEMENTS

Town Hall Presenting an interesting, breezy story of tlie drama, romance and comedy in a big time carnival show. Universal’s "Carnival Queen” screens finally to-night at the Town Hall Theatre. The blonde beauty. Dorothea Kent, portrays tlie owner of Preseotfs Mammoth Carnival, around whom a series of surprising dramatic episodes revolve. Robert AVilcox, one of Hollywood’s handsome young actors, gives a splendid performance as tlie mini Miss Kent hires to manage her carnival. From the moment (hey meet in a blinding rain storm, their romance keeps pace with the dramatic action.

Noel Smith directed Dick Fermi's newest hoots and saddle epic, "blazing Sixes,” which screens finally to-night at the Town Kali Theatre. It's a tale of Colorado in 1891), wlicn it was a common thing for tlie road agents to hold up tho stages carrying gold coins from the Denver mint. Tin' identity of these highwaymen—and the hide-out where they molted tlie coins down and made gold liars out of them — remained a mystery until secret agents of the Government tracked tin* miscreants and recovered the loot. Dick, in “Blazing Sixes.” is head man of tlie Government group. It is said to tie the most thrilling among the cloven outdoor pictures this full redhead has made. The Regent The big audiences at the Regent Theatre yesterday were delighted with the first screening of "Oh I Mr Dorter.” Wholesome. witty and .clever, with the inimitable Will Hay in his greatest characterisation. the picture abounds in spontaneous humour and is packed with complications up to the climax. Three established stage players win new honours on the screen in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s mystery picture. "London Ry Night.” which opened yesterday at the Regent Theatre. George Murphy, former Broadway dancer, more recently in pictures. has his first dramatic role and 1 roves liis ability without question. Rita Johnson makes her screen debut in the feminine lead and assart's tier career in Hollywood. "London By Night” was adapted from the stage success. "The I mliiella Man." by Will Scott.
