TOWN HALL PICTURES ——— ’<74l l ' FRIDAY NIGHT Friday night will see the first appearance in Cambridge of the beautiful Barbara Bedford, in a romance of woodland mystery, "Cinderella of the Hills.” Miss Bedford is a new' star to the silver, sheet, and her rise to fame has been one of the most remarkable in the history of picture actresses. New faces on the screen are always welcome to picture fans, so that Friday night should sec a good audience to witness Miss Bedford’s first appearance. In addition the old favourite, William Russell, will appear in a heart stirring story, "The Roof Tree.” This production has proved one of the most enjoyable pictures of recent months. It is a romantic story of the South, written by Charles Neville Buck, in which a belief in the benign influence of a "roof tree” is woven most interestingly into the story.

‘«ENCHANTMENT ’ 7 .

‘ ‘ Enchantment, ’ the big Cosmopoli-tan-Paramount production at the Town Hall on Saturday night, is one of the' really great photoplays. Set in the atmosphere of Ncw r York society,' the theme deals with the various aspects of flapperism. Ethel Hoyt, played by Marion Davis, is an ultra fashionable member of the flapper fraternity, and lives up to it. She is a constant source of worry and trouble to her parents, who most decidedly do not see eye to eye with their blase daughter. Consequently, there are frequent ructions. In desperation her father persuades an actor friend to help him "tame her.” The actor succeeds, but is himself tamed, for ho'falls in love with Ethel. The setting of the story is interesting and picturesque in the extreme. A delightful feature of t.hc fllm is the gorgeous picture version of "The Sleeping Beauty.” An unusually strong - cast interprets the. story, including Marion Davis, Forrest Stanley, Edith Shayne, Tom Lewis, and many others.
