AMUSEMENTS

I TOWN' HAM.. “CAM. OF THE FLESH.” Accommodation at tin 1 Town Hall was taxed to its limit on Saturday niglit, when “The Call of the Flesh” v.as presented for the first time. The evening's entertainment was of an exceptionally high order, and fully justified the large audience. Ramon Novarro was seen in one of the finest roles of his career, and added further to his reputation as “the golden voiced lover of the screen.” The story is full of pathos and charm, and the Spanish setting is delightful. Ramon Novarro, a singer of humble origin, but full of youthful arrogance, falls in love with a beautiful girl, who has run away from the seclusion of a convent to seek the glamour of the outside world. Onlv when the girl ho loves is taken from him, and returns to the convent, does the young artist “find his soul.” His singing numbers hold the audience opell-bound. The story ends happily, os befits such a delightful romance. The east is an excellent one, and the musical numbers a rare treat. In addition the featurettos arc particularly good. They include a mirth-provoking Charlie Chase comedy. “The Call of the Flesh” will bo screened for the last time tonight, ami patrons would be well advised to book early, and not miss seeing a really lino programme. REGENT THEATRE. “BEAU IDEAL” TONIGHT. Another largo audience thoroughly enjoyed the treat provided on Saturday evening in the shape of “A Warm Corner,” the famous English comedy, headed by Leslie Henson, Connie Edics and Heather Thatcher. Tonight the attraction will be “Beau Ideal,” the sequel to “Beau Geste.” It is a great picture.
