COMEDY PREVAILS IN THE
FOUR SCREEN PLAYS
Wednesday and Thursday nights of
this week, will be shown Herbert
Brenon’s sincere story of two women,
one good and one bad—and their love
for the same man. It tells of the
clever ruse used by the second in an
attempt to destroy her rival’s hap-
piness. Set against the picturesque
background of, .New Orleans, flavored
with the romance of the sea, the tale
is unfolded with tragic suspense.
Lois Moran and' Lyda de Putti take
t|je stellar roles, and Wm- Collier,
Jr., appears to good advantage. The daughters, Vlasta and Edith, spent a

of our former good friend, P. J. Jana-

and dash, its love-sick absurdities,
has been mirrored in celluloid for,the
first time1 in history by the irrisisti-
bTe- Harry Langdon Friday night at
the Cozy Theatre. Through all the
play also runs a tender love of a
mother for her boy; based on redlism
the plot offers ample opportunities,
not only for screams of laughter but
for those moments of rare pathos
which bring out the features of Lang-
don's personality and ability. The
play is entitled: “Long Pants.”
’ Bebe Daniels, the screen come-
dienne, will be the attraction on Sat-
urday night, appearing with Gertrude ( , , - - .

to great advantage the comefiietine

to her life. Gertrude Ederle, with
Bebe do some swimming, and then
there is enough comedy to make it;

1 Rm-Tin-Tin, the screen dog of

and Monday • nights, in “Jaws Of
Steel.” The dependence of the dog
to Ming‘to A clhnftx a complication
of circumstances, and the wonderful
manner in which this canine acts*
makes it a story that ever meets with
the fan’s approval. Rin-Tin-Tin has
been seen in many screen plays in

of what the fan, appreciates has been
brought jnto full force and effect.

a number who were detained by rea-
son of illness, we had a fairly good
attendance upon our services last
Sunday. Our program for Sunday
will be as follows:
Sunday school at 9:45 a. m. Let
every member be present and on time
with a carefully prepare^ lesson. The
Suriday school will have the regular
illustrated story sermon at the close,
Let us all remember the Scripture
texts.
Preaching by the pastor at 11 a. m.,
and 7:30 p. m. Subject'of morning
sermon: “The Majesty And Glory of
Scriptural Prophesy.” Subject of
evening sermon: “The Home Or The
Investments In a House vs. Thef In-
vestments In a Home.” We regard
these as very important topics for
Christian consideration. In using
them it is our desire and prayer to
base every claim upon the inspired
word.
We extend a cordial invitation to
all. Let us have an unusual church
night meeting Friday evening, be-
ginning at 7:30 p. m. If you are in-
terested in singing, come, for we sing
one-third of the time. If you are in-
terested in the study of thA word,
come, for we study about one-thitfi
of the time. If you are interested in
being social with your^ neighbors,
come, for we love to be' sociable.
