THE GOOSE GIRL"
A FINE FEATURE At
ALCAZAR THEATRE
MARGUERITE CLARK TO APPEAR
THERE MONDAY.

Americas movie patrons are de-
lighted at the announcement of the
appearance here on Monday evening
of the beautiful and talented Marguer-
ite Clark in the stellar role of the
Goose Girl, a charming dramatiZation
of Harold MbGrath's popular novel;
Miss Clark requires no introduction,
and the mere announcement of her
appearance at the Alcazar is sufficient
to fill the theatre at each perform
ance.
Beautiful, versatile and charming
withal, this talented little stage fab
orite is the idol of theatre-go and
in the role of the Goose Girl she
excels all others.
The play has a pleasing plot and
delights the audience from the first
flash of the film to the fms. 1t is the
first one of the celebrated Paramount
Pictures which will be presented
twice weekly at the Alcazar, on Mon
days and Thursdays, and are per-
haps the most expensive ever shown
in Americas.

SOLDIER BOYS
PREPARING fine
MINSTREL stunt

Thespian talent abounds in the
ranks fthe Americas Light Infantry
and this corked-up talent is to I've
given burnt cork freedom in a novel
show to be presented at the opera
house about two weeks hence. The
soldier boys have the proposition ur-
der careful advisement and will make
formal announcement shortly.
The object in view is, primarily, to
raise funds for current expenditures,
and, secondarily, to give the public
here rafting good show in high
class ministrelsy.
The military company has not, in
the past year or two, received any
financial assistance from the custom
airy sources, and the company's ex
checquer is running low. Money is
needed for the purchase of certain
equipment desired, and the soldier
boys hope to raise it in this manner.
Just as soon as plans are fully ma
tured official announcement will be
made of the show which will be the
best amateur stunt ever staged in
Americas.
