ENTERTAINMENTS

FIRE BRIGADE DANCE. x The Cambridge Volunteer Fire Brigade dances continue in popularity, and that held on Tuesday evening last, in the Town Hall, was as successful and enjoyable as its predecessors. Some forty-five couples spent a most pleasant time, dancing to the excellent music supplied by Mr BanfieUl. Mr G. Burns made a capital M.C. As usual, the committee provided the supper, which was nicely served, and most appetising. The floor was in good order, and all the arrangements were capital. TOWN HALL PICTURES FRIDAY’S DOUBLE PROGRAMME A two-million-dollar. estate on Long Island, suburban home of a New York millionaire, provided many of the outdoor scenes for “The Plunger,” a William Fox picture starring George Walsh, which is coming to the Town Hall to-morrow night. . The grounds, the mansion itself, and a retinue of many servants were placed at the disposal of the company for the filming. “The Plunger” is a picture in which Wall Street intrigue and stock manipulation are the background for an exceedingly entertaining romance. The chance to see “Wing Toy,” the beautiful Fox photoplay in which. Shifley Mason is now doing the best work of her entire career, will come to Cambridge picture-lovers to-morrow night. “Wing Toy” is all about the adventures that befall a little girl of white parentage, who is reared from babyhood as a Chinese by a wealthy Chinaman. How littff; Wing toy, grown to beautiful young womanhood, rises above the level of her Oriental surroundings, and finds happiness with the man of her heart, is made the basis of one of the prettiest and most absorbing lovo stories the local screen has shown.

SATURDAY’S DOUBLE FEATURE

The third of the series of British, and American pictures will be shown, on Saturday night. The American offering features Enid Bennett in “The False°Road,” and is a Paramount-Art-craft picture taken from a story by C. Gardner Sullivan, and directed by Fred Niblo, Miss Bennett’s husband. Considerable heart interest and appeal go with the working out of the plot, as well as plenty of excitement and thrills Lloyd Hughes is Miss Bennett’s leading man. The British attraction will present Francesca Bertini, that talented and beautiful film star, in “The Poison Mood,” an Italian production of a very high order. A brilliant young violinist and composer falls in love with the daughter of an unscrupulous financier, but, through circumstances over which he has no control, he is forced to sacrifice his love to duty. The financier commits suicide after telling his daughter to go to her hitherto unknown sister, Maida, who has lived all her life in the country. Francesca Bertini, as Maida, first of all a country girl, then a society beauty, and finally the lover of the young violinist, shows fully her wonderful talent.

The usual matinee at 2.30 on Saturday afternoon will be held.
