riding.
"Mice and Men," with Marguerite
Clark, in the leading role, is the star

week. This makes twice in the last
month that two Paramount produc-

Great Northern railway, has mani
tested his belief in the films as an
advertising medium in the most SUBJ
stantial way. Mr.. Hill will provide
space in the passenger depot in the
Twin Cities for the showing Of pic

comedy pictures.
In the booking of "The Battle Cry

Battle Cry of Peace" is call to arms
not for war, but for peace, and is q
picture that should be seen by every
man, woman and child.
