Geo. Bancroft’s Greatest Dramatic
Hit
“Thunderbolt”
A tense drama of life and love
outside the law.
Prices 15c and 30c
WEEKLY PROGRAM AT
COZY THEATRE
The delightful story of “Show
Folks”, shown here Wednesday and
Thursday nights, is a tremendous
sympathetic story without a villain,
an interesting and authentic glimpse
into the lives of stage folks, a re-
markable love triangle superbly dei
velooed, a deeply appealing themfi
that will strike responsive chords in
every human heart.
Friday night's picture, “Freedom
of the Press” comes highly recom-
mended, presented by a good cast,
you must not fail to see it.
Atlantic City with its beaches, ho-
tels and bathing beauties, is where
the scenes shown in the comedy, “The
Cohen’s and Kelly’s in Atlantic Cit;
were filmed, and will be shown
Cozy on Saturday night. The adven-
tures of the two families started two
years ago, this time the partners are
in the knit business and the story has
numerous bathing girl sequence. A
new kind of bathing beauty contest,
called a “Summer Girl Contest”, is

ture, “Thunderbolt.” He plays again
the part of the master criminal, dar-
ing, unafraid, and shrewd enough to
avoid capture, until his sweetheart
tells him that she is through with
him, and because she is afraid for her
lover’s safety, engineers a police trap
and causes his arrest. See “Thunder-
bolt in the death house at Sing Sing,
with the aid of his gang plan revenge,
and how? When his chance for re-
venge is before him, Tie seems to see
that he is wrong and puts his hand
on the shoulder of the man “his girl”
loves in a gesture of farewell. Thun-
derbolt puffs a cigarette as he strolls
through the “green door.”
HERE’S HOPING THEY GET THE
LIQUID GOLD
The passing through LaGrange of
the heavy trucks of the Magnolia Pe-
troleum Company, en route to the
Gulley farms near Fayetteville, and
the fact that this company is placing
for use the best drilling machinery
now used, encourages the hope that
there will soon be a report that op-
erations are on, and that later we can
hear of the company having found oil.
They are going to drill in a territory
that gives great promise.
Two years ago we visited the home
of the Gulley’s and were shown that
gas was beneath the water that was
being used by the families. As a test
of assurance water was pumped from
the well; immediately thereafter a
great rumbling noise was heard. And,
when the small socket bolt was re-
moved from the side of the pump,
and a match was applied, the flames
stretched across from the pump for a
distance of four feet.
As a matter of expression in addi-
tion to the hope one encourages, we
might say that, in the event oil is not
found, the company may discover a
good, fraying gas pocket. We shall
wait for results.

BAD
AFTER EATING
"Foob years ago, ij
suffered with heart-
burn and bilious indi-
gestion. Whatever I
ate disagreed with
me. Gas on my stom-
ach made me very
uncomfortable. My
tongue was coated
and my color was
bad. I needed a good
laxative, and so my
mother-in-law gave me some
Black-Draught and told me to
take it. I found it helped me
very much, so I bought it for
myself Seems it was the very
thing I needed. It is a fine
family remedy, and I use it
when I need something for
constipation.
"I also give Black-Draught to
my children whenever they need
something for colds or upset
stomachs. Our whole family
takes Black-Draught.”— Mrs.
G.C. Leary, 103 North Alston
Ave., Durham, N. C.
