with food or other supplies and the
Germans will win, as they recognize
they must, solely by submarine war

has engrossed the best thoughts of

BRYANT WASHBURN
IN COMEDY FILM
AT THE MAJESTIC
Essanay Production, 'Skin-
ner's Dress Suit" Is Fea-
ture Picture at Popular
Family Theatre

One of the most delightful comedy
features ever produced Is "Skinners
Dress Suit" an Essanay production,
featuring Bryant Washburn, Birming-
hams favorite screen actor. The pic
ture is an adaptation to the screen
from the story OF the above title by
Henry Irving Dodge, which was pub
lished in the Saturday Evening Post.
1t is wholesome comedy of the most
entertaining type and has delighted
thousands wherever shown. Mr.. Wash
burn is cast in part particularly
suited for his talent and he is ably
supported by Hazel Daily and a strong
cast. In addition to this production
the programme at the Majestic today
includes other big features and new
comedy reels.
The story of "Skinners Dress Suit"
is well known and in speaking of 1t
Mr.. Washburn tells the followines
story.
Il had a friend several years back
who was in love with the daughter of
a wealthy farm implement manufac-
turer.' said Mr.. Washburn. MY
friends pocketbook was of slender
proportions and he was having great
difficulty in keeping Up the pace with
his society associates. His girl invited
him to her reception one evening and
he was at his wits end to provide him
self with dress suit in which to at
tend the affair. He finally solved the
problem by borrowing one which be-
longed to another lodger in the board
ing house. When the latter, however
discovered that my friend had Dor
rowed' his dress suit to attend the
reception he rushed forthwith to the
girls home. There. before the entire
assemblage, he charged my friend with
having purloined his evening clothes,
and demanded that he take them off
immedia tely."
In "Skinner's Dress Suit" Mr. Wash
burn, as the poor boob has better
luck. However. the point driven homie
by this amusing photocomedy is the
same, as the screen star goes on to
explain:
THAT embarrassing incident" he
continued, wiped out what had an :
peared a very good chance that my
friend would claim this daghter OF
wealth as his wife. His experience all
goes to prove that if man has got
in the parlance of the street.-The
'front.' he can get almost anywhere
in this world. Take. for instance, Mr.
Skinner of the photoplay.
Mr.. Skinner is downtrodden,
starving cashier in a big mercantile
house until his wife makes him buy a
dress suit and spruce up Then,
through his good clothes Skinner
meets some rich people and is enabled
thereby to put over big business deal
for his firm. Thus he gains raise
IN pay and finally partnership in the
business
There are millions of SINNERS III
this world All they need is a dress
suit to rise rapidly to fame and for
tune. For, after all. good clothes
mans ppearance-plays forceful
part in modern business. Don't you
think SOP"

that the Pratt city club kept up It's
reputation as hitters. Rummy Bradley

next with three. one of which was

This drive brought the crowd to its
feet and he was given glad hand
when he, crossed the plate.
Santmyer was also hitting that old
baseball with two two-base hits to his
credit. Frank Welsh. the first man up
in the second inning. hit the ball TO
the scoreboard in deep left for three
bags and this would have been home
run had not Franks legs been both
ering him and caused him to slow up.
When the Pratt wrecking crew be-
gan to unlimber and drive out those
long hits the crows began to root for
them and a number seemAd to take
quite a delight in kidding the Nor
wood manager, saying that this was
the first ball club they had been up
against and as Harry Swacina told
them in the eighth inning. I'VE have
