ENTERTAINMENTS.

THEATRE ROYAL. “Men of Steel” is one of the bigges pictures yet filmed. For not only is the story an unusual one and the setting magnificent, but Milton Sills has done the best work of his screen career. Sills wrote the story from which this picture has been filmed from a suggestion received in R. G. Kirk’s short story, “United States Flavour.” No 9ne knows better than Sills what Sills can do, and in the writing of the story he worked knowing the person who was to play each part—knowing their ability and personality. The United States Steel Corporation co-operated from the beginning with First National in the making of the picture. STRAND THEATRE. Stan Tilton and Eddie West, the popular “Joy Boys,” are in the last nights of their successful season. Last night they presented some new patter and songs, which pleased the audience greatly, and they were enthusiastically received. “Frisco Sally Levy,” Metro-Goldwyn-Mayei’s new picture, featuring the vivacious Sally O’Neil, which comes with tlie new programme tonight is a brilliant comedy romanco of family life in a big city. “Tlie Auctioneer” is (he second big attraction. “Tlie Auctioneer” sets forth in a most human manner the story of a little Irish orphan who is adopted by a Russian and his wife on their way to the land of promise.
