BIDDING FOR PATRONAGE WITH
GOOD PICTURE PLAYS
ENT,
The four pictures offered at the
Cozy Theatre this week, ,are varied
in their themes, the first for Wed-
nesday and Thursday, will be a stirr-
ing drama, in which the interweaving
of love and duty to country wilf of-
fer a fascinating and gripping story
of incidents that connect with the
late war. The leads in this play are
Raymond Keane and Barbara Kent;
who appear to great advantage. The
play is entitled: “The Lone Eagle.”
Jhe second picture deals yvith the a
western, and ’presents' the rematkablelb
intelligence t>f Stiver King, the horse
owned by Fred Thompson. In this
drama of the west the fa$ will be
given tn ’ ihiyodt(ction to' ttie true
character, pf man ’ who, with outer
showing appdaC to be hard-boiled,‘ are
nevertheless sincere and depidedly
human. The rescue of a boy from
the orphanage by the horse, the train
crashing against a f wagon and the
narrow escape of the orphan are mere
incidents of the play that grips and
holds. The play is entitled: “The
Tough Guy.”
Saturday night we get the comedy,
“Smile, Brother, Smile” in which
Jack Mulhall and Dorothy Mackaill
take the leads. The offering is of. the
light comedy classic, without a dull
moment, featuring the comic side of
the life of the traveling salesman,
and of .course, there is the telephone
-girl who eome3 in for
■ vu
Just enough oif the spice to keep you
smiling, and it’s a safe bet that is
what you will do when you see the
show hn Saturday night.
Another special, and a big one at
that, is offered for next Sunday and
Monday nights. A mighty, gripping
melodrama in the modern mannery in
which such well-known stage and
screen celebrities, Clive Brooks, Eve-
lyn Brent, George Bancroft and Lar-
ry Semon are featured. Entitled:
“Underworld” the fan Can readily
draw his conclusions. The. eternal
struggle between the underworld and
the police is vividly portrayed, pre-
senting a showing that cannot fail to
hold your interest from the start

of Lamar, Colorado, and Tom Carter
of Fort Worth. Confessions, we be-
lieve have been secured from all five.
The fact is also given that the three
were advised that the car had been
atoieti at Houston, and this makes
them a part of theft fact.
The car was stolen on Main street
at Houston, and, according to the
letter received Tuesday morning of
this week, from Houston, belongs to
J. H. Bradley, 1511 Kipling Street,
Houston.
Incidentally, while getting these
facts at the sheriff's office, we be-
came acquainted with Lee Hale of
San Antonio, who also lost an auto-
mobile last week, and which Was
found at Ledbetter, in this county.
Mr. Hale came down to identify the
car, which w»s stolen on Tuesday of
last week, by two ex-sailors. The
Mres and the mails have been kept
warm, if not hot, to locate the two
who took the car, but up to Tuesday,
no arrests had been made. The two

These are only two local items, ar-
I ranged for the week's news. The
mentioning of tho cases, however,
muht aroutie the local car owner to
a sense of caution, transients are
going and coming constantly, al-
though many of them find lodging
here in the county jail. The through
tourist seems to have been fortunate,
in escaping capture; the overcoat and
the ham that was taken out of Roy
Giese’s car two weeks since and the
draining of the gas tank of Mr.
Giese’s car, Is still a happening. The
overcoat and the ham are still miss-
ing.
