COLONIAL THEATRE
Biz Holiday Program-BiIIie Burke in
a 100000 Triangle Feature, peggy"
in Seven Mighty Reels; nth Epi-
sode 1.-THE Strange Case Of Mary
Page;" Pathe News. Mat. 2.30, Eve.
nina 7. Same Small Prices.

The supreme efforts of the Triangle
Co., the seven-reel masterpiece Peg
gy" is the big holiday attraction at the
Colonial today. Peggy" was written
especially to give free play to the re-
markable gifts of Billie Burke. 1t is a
comedy because that is Miss Burkes
undoubted field. But Peggy" also con
tains good sound drama. Miss Burke
is cast as vivacious young American
girl who is called upon to leave Ameri-
ca and visit her uncle in Scotland, and
an amusing part of the story IS that of
her arrival on Sunday. The good peo-
pie are all at church, a group Of hard,
undemonstrative, santimonious, just
but mot t-merciful Puritans. like those
who settled New England. In the dis
tance is seen whirl Of dust and a
white streak, Peggy speeding the limit
in her raceabout. Chickens, geese and
humans are scattered like autumn
leaves along the village street and
Peggy hits the center Of religious ac-
tivity like a meteor just as the kirk is
letting out. Such is warm hearted and
impulsive peggy. She becomes modi-
fed but not before she has smashed
the provincial egotism and tempered
the harsh social judgment Of the COM
munity. Peggy's love affair Is carried
on with the minister Of the town who
loves her first and last. He has to be
a little more broad-minded before
winning Peggy but his Transformation
only adds more humor to the tale. The
settings Of the picture are ideal and
the supporting cast is second to none,
while the photography coming from
the Triangle studios needs no mention.
Billie Burke is utterly captivating and
plays charmingly while it is no exag-
geration to state that Peggy" is a
picture that never will be forgotten.
The 18th episode of "The Strange
Case Of Mary Page" and the Pathe
News will round out the program
Matinee at 2.30, evening I. Peggy"
will be shown in the afternoon at 3O5,
in the evening at 8 P. M.-Advt.

to the ones having completed the gold
en- circle.
! Mr.. and Mrs. Wing feelingly re-
| sponded and words Of appreciation
We're also spoken by their son. Arthur
Another pleasing feature Of the oc-
casion was that the son, Arthur and
wife were observing their goth we'd
ding anniversary.
| 1t was regretted that the grand
| daughter, Miss Lulu Wing, who is a
| Senior in the New Sharon High school
was not present at this memorable So
cial event.
Delicious coffee, cocoa and fancy
cakes We're enjoyed by all, while the
bride of so years had the honor OF
serving a prettily decorated wedding
cake.
| The afternoon passed all too quickly
and the guests We're soon leaving
wishing that Mr.. and Mrs. Wing might
experience as much happiness in the
future as their lives prove they have
enjoyed in the past.

the bridge which connects Hersey's is

and Tuesdays rain added its part to
the work Of wearing away the ice. and
were it not for the ice extending to the
shores, so the fishermen say, the

such proves to be the case there will
