100 PER CENT SHOW.
We are aiming at 100 ft show
this season and up to this date we
are hitting the bull s eye every
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
with high grade feature short sub
jects that score 100% entertain
ment value.
Look at the program today: Art
J Acord will lead off with a two
reel Western, “Matching Wits.”
It’s snappy and full of pep and
will make you stand on your hind
legs.
“Brownie, The Wonder Dog.”
Here is a two reeler that has its
comedy, its pathos and above all
you will marvel at the intelligence
of this dog and wonder how he
was ever trained to do such mar
velous stunts.
• “International News.” Here
you will see for the first time the
volcano Mt. Vesuvius in action.
Photographers have braved the
dangers of a veritable inferno and
will show you the inside workings
of this active volcano.
Harold Lloyd. Here you will see
Harold Lloyd, Bebe Daniels and
Snub Pollard in one of the (“three
star”) comedies entitled “Bride
and Gloom.” It’s action and
laughs from the lh\st inch to the
last, and there is a thousand inches
of it.
Here is a show that has its edu
cational features, its comedy fea
tures, its scientific features, its
| travelogue features, and above all
else it has its economical features,
which is quite a factor with Mr.
and Mrs. Public. Dudley’s Pic
| tures are good pictures.
