Warren Kerrigan at Theatorium.

"Landon's Legacy" the five-reel
Broadway Universal comedy-drama,
featuring the most popular moving
picture star, J. Warren Kerrigan, is
a delightful and entertaining story Of
strange bequest. The love interest
is keen and the scenes beautiful. The
villain in the play attempts to kill
Jack Landon" (Warren Kerrigan)
and is almost successful. After six
weeks in a hospital Landon slowly
recovers. When able to sit up, his
long-deloyed mail is handed him. Al
most the first communication that he
reads is one from a firm of lawyers
informing him of the death of his
maiden aunt; also that she has left
him her property, a Massachusetts
seminary, containing two hundred live
ly and entertaining young ladies'.
The comedy produced by a sit
uation of this kind is easily imagined.
There is plenty of fun,-good, clean
wholesome fun, all through the pic.

ARDMORE HIGH SCHOOL WINS
IN BASKETBALL GAME

On Friday night, the A. II. S. open.
ed its basketball season at the High
school gymnasium, meeting the un-
defeated Wynnewood team.
Wynnewood started the game with
rush that almost swept the local
team off its feet. In very short
time, the score stood to in favor
of the visitors. This seemed to be
the spur necessary to awaken the
Ardmore team, and the old-time pep"
and fight was soon evident. Fighting
like tigers the remainder OF the half,
the locals managed to hold the score
to II to IL with Wynnewood on the
long end
After the intermission between
halves, the A. II. S. came back into
the game with a firm determination
to do or die, and the fighting soon
became more fierce than ever. Colbert,
playing at center, seemed to be every
where and in every play. while Fish
Williams, at forward, shot goals with
unerring accuracy. The last half
was in reality the first exhibition of
real teamwork by the A. II. S. five.
The game finally ended with score
of % to q in favor of the Ardmore
High school
The goals scored were as follows:
Williams : goals and > fouls; Colbert
, goals and foul; Trce goals.
The features of the game were the
basket shooting of Williams and the
powerful defensive and offensive
game OF Colbert He played like a
demon from start to finish, spurred
on, perhaps, by the fact that he had
been elected captain Immediately pre-
ceding the game. No less honor and
glory is due Woodard, whose playing
was fully on a par with that of hts
teammates. The lineup was as fol
lows:
Right forward Williams.
Left forward-Trice.
Center-Colbert Captain.
Left guard-Woodward
Right guard-Ratliff.
