The County. Commissioners met Mon-
day and made their regular monthly
check of current bills and accounts

work is in progress over the county

sion Monday. November 14, which is
fixed by the Statutes of Texas as one
of the quarterly meetings for the

not properly be attended to at a
special session.
It was understood that two of the
commissioners, Messrs. Sims and

23, at which time the Community
Chest drive will be inaugurated. The
drive will be directed by a board

Babe Ruth Shiaea
Baseball, liberally mixed with com-
edy and romance, makes “Bfcbe Cornea
Homo,” which the National Theatre
is offering Monday and Tuesday, No-
vember 7 and 8, the ranking sport
picture of the season. '
At the head of the cast is George
Herman (“Babe”) Ruth, the mighty
home run king, who is responsible
not only for the thrilling baseball
with which the picture is spiced, but
uUo some excellent comedy character
acting. Ruth extends his facility to
film acting in surprising fashion.
The story which appeared originally
in a magazine under the title “Said
With Soap,” is one of Gerald Beau-
mont’s happiest spirt yarns, and the
producers have added to its comedy GlerrA Phtaney,
punch and charm.
Carinne Capture Comedy Character

mantic productions, has gotten hold
of another light comedy picture of
the sort “Classified” made famous.

“I-ost at the Front"
•The comic sida.<of- the World War,
as it appears in many recent war
mirth-pieces, reaches its hilarious
climax in John McCormick’s produc-
tion, “Lost at the Front,” which co-
stars George Sidney and Charlie Mur
ray under the First National Pictures
banner.
“Lost at the Front,” which was pro.
ducod by Frank Griffin, ia to be the
attraction at the National Theatre
Friday and Saturday, November 11
and 12. It is an entirely new type of
World War comedy and it deals with a
new lodile the Russo-German front.
Among ^its unusual features is the
appearance of the famous Russian
women soldiery, the “Battalion of
Death,” which figures in some of the
most fun-provoking scenes.
