TOWN HALL TALKIES.

“FRANKENSTEIN.”

For weeks and weeks, we have (been eagerly awaiting “Frankenstein.” It is here. It is going to play at the Town Hall on Friday and Saturday. • Unless you are entirely shock-proof, we advise you to come prepared. “Frankenstein” is a shocker—no two ways about that. The Universal Company, which made “Draeula,” planned to out-“Draeula” “Draeula” in this production, and they have done it. “Frankenstein” is without a doubt the most thrilling, the most exciting the most dramatic picture of the year. You remember the old time legend. You undoubtedly know that Frankenstein was the man Avho made a monster. Frankenstein was filled to the brim with ambition to create a creature which would walk and talk, breathe and eat like human beings. It was . scientific zeal with him. So great was his absorption in this scientific task that he locked himself away from his friends, his family and even his fiancee, the beautiful Elizabeth. But in spite of them all, he actually galvanised this eight-foot monster into life. But alas, the monster had' the strength of twenty men and the shrewd, cunning, ruthless brain of a criminal. What) happened? Frankenstein could not control it; chains and walls could not restrain it; neither reason nor pity turned it from its ruthless course. With “Robinson Crusoe and Son” (Comedy), “Grandma’s Pet” (cartoon) and Graham McNamee talking reporter.
