“LA BOHEME” ONE
OF YEAR’S FINEST
Lillian Gish’s First Film
Made in America in
Years a Hit.
“La Boheme,” Lillian Gish’s first!
American-made picture in some
years, is the attraction which will be
shown Thursday and Friday, October
7th and Bth, at the Royal theater.
The much-heralded play, in which
Miss Gish is seen in the tragic role of
Mimi, famous wherever opera is lov
ed, is one of the outstanding produc
tions of the year from the Metro-
Goldwyn-Mayer studios, and Miss
Gish’s interpretation of the role has
created a furor in studio circles.
King Vidor, who directed “The Big
Parade,” directed the new picture,
which was staged on a lavish scale.
John Gilbert plays the leading male
role as Rodolphe, the poet, with Re
nee Adoree as the sprightly Muset
ta. Others in the cast are Roy D’Arcy,
Edward Everett Horton, Gino Corra- I
do, Karl Dane, George Has? ’’ Eu-|

;1 Dr. L. G. Hardman, of Com

from Atlanta last night indi
cated that Dr. Hardman had
carried the state by a large

38 counties with 104 county
unit votes.
This assures Dr. Hardman’s
election, as requires only 204
