PEERLESS PICTURES.

Alice Brady in a six-reel Paramount Society drama entitled “A New York Idea,” will be the main attraction at the Town Hall to-night. The supporting items include a further chapter of “Thunderbolt Jack.” a two-reel Joe Martin Comedy, and a Burton Holmes travel picture. “Thunderclap.” the remarkable William Fox special scheduled for its premier showing at the Town Hall oa Friday, is aptly heralded as “a thrilling melodramatic picture with a laugi every minute and a thrill every thirty seconds.” An all-star cast cleverly depicts the absorbing story of love, intrigue, romance and, last but not least, a horse race yet unequalled on the silver screen. I’he colourful st :y of “Thunderclap” also brings to mind the more excitiug days of yester year when gambling flourished, when the raucous call of the roulette wheel attendant mingled with the thrill laughter of the bizarre feminine and when fortunes changed hands with monotonous regularity. Into this world of gilt and flushed cheeks there comes the girl of the convent, ignorant of the ways of the wily but strong of character ami of purpose. Her experiences in this new world, the discovery of u true friend beneath the reeking atmosphere of drink and smoke and the result of the track performance of “Thunderclap” combine for a story which charms at the very outset ami fascinates until the unwelcome end.
