ENTERTAINMENTS.

STRAND AND FRANKTON THEATRES Teeming with beauty, laughter and thrills, the latest Fox Films production, “ None but the Brave,.” is the story-of the evolution of an egoistical college youth into a man of the world. Charles Morton, talented young Fox player, has the leading male role with Sally Phipps playing opposite him. See the freaks! They are all in force for ‘‘The Barker,” the supporting picture. The tattooed man, the bearded lady and the hula dancers. The new First National picture stars Milton Sills and Dorothy Macaill, with Betty Compson, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., anc many others in important roles. THEATRE ROYAL. ’ “The Last Command,” which an intensely interesting story and shows the best acting ever seen on a Hamilton screen, will be shown for the last time to-night. It should not be missed. HAROLD LLOYD NEXT WEEK. 1 J “The face on the cutting room floor,” is an ode few actors like to chant. But to Harold Lloyd, who comes next week to the Theatre Royal, in his latest production, "Speedy,” released by Paramount, it means belter pictures. In “Speedy” there is action from start to finish. There is not a moment that lags. Even the portions of the story devoted to the building of his story, which, are invariably slow places, maintain interest at comic.'heat. “Speedy” i® 4 one of Lloyd’s most enjoyable works/ diverting, funny, hilarious and noveL And nothing more could be asked of any comedian. REGENT CARNIVAL DANCE. To-night, a{. the “Regent Ballroom* another of the popular Carnival Nights will lake place. A Monte Carlo will be held, for which the prjze will be a cash trophy. Streamers and Carnival caps will be liberally distributed, and a night-of joyous fun and frivolity will be the reward of Regent patrons. The ventilation system is all that can be desired, and the cool atmosphere and- congenial and pleasant surroundings appeal to aJI who visit this ballroom.
