ENTERTAINMENTS.

TOWN HALL. All the kids in town (kids range anywhere from six to sixty) are on tip-toe with expectation —at the prospect of again seeing the World’s Wonder Dog, Rin-Tin-Tin. And he is at the Town Hall to-night in “Tracked by the Police,” a walloping/ whooping melodrama of the Arizona desert, with Einty at his fanged, furious best and a supporting east than which no star could ask better. There is Jason Robards as the rough-neck hero, Virginia Browne Faire as the rough-neck hero’s imperilled lady. There is big Tom Santsehi, as a villain of villains, and Dave Morris, who was born in a circus tent, and has toured the world as a clown, and Theodore Larch, and Ben Walker, and more than that. The story is vivid and colourful. The photography leaves nothing to be desired. W-ilh “Waiting” (Comedy), news and X.Z. Scenic. Usual prices. On Monday Madge Bellamy will feature in an amusing story of outdoor sports, motor boating racing, etc., “Very Confidential.” Usual prices.

In addition to the picture programme on Wednesday next, “Omdali,” the Universal prophet and living encyclopaedia, will present bis master mind Crystal Gazing exposition. ROYAL. An exciting drama of the Aerial Secret Police “The Air Patrtfl” will be the big a I traction at the Royal to-night. This story of twentieth century smugglers gives us a series of thrilling scenes and stunts enacted in mid air by Al. Wilson and Art Goebel (winner of the Hawaii race). Aerial fights, loops, tail spins, crashes and parachute descents are all included in the “Air Patrol,” the culminating thrill being a light on the wing of a plane thousands of feet in Iho air. The supporting pictures to-night are good including “Snookums Clean Up” (Comedy), and Empire News. Prices 1/- and 1/6. Children half price.
