ENTERTAINMENTS.

THEATRE ROYAL. A picture measures its greatness according to its theme, and as the theme of "Mons" is patriotism, it ranks right in front among the classics of the screen. Made in England by Englishmen, the new picture, which Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer is distributing in Australia and,New Zealand is now screening at the Theatre Royal. It is an inspired piece of marvellous realism with '•very actor having army service to his credit Under the direction of Captain Walter Summers, D.S.O-, M.C., M.M., nothing like it has been seen before by motion picture audiences. STRANO * FRANKTON THEATRES. The celebrated French author, Alfred Savior, has again given Adolphe Menjou an opportunity to rise to greater histrionic heights. "His Tiger Lady," which is an , adaptation from the author's "Super of the Gaiety" is Menjou's starring vehicle this time, and it marks the second time that Menjou has done a story by Savior, the first being- "The Grand Duchess and the % Waiter," which was such an outstanding success. More than fort} trained police dogs appear in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's "Under the Black Eagle," a thrilling romance of Central: Europe, now showing as the second' picture in this programme.
