BEST PICTURE EVER MADE FOR
CHILDREN.

Jack not only assembled the beam
stalk in the first of the Fox Riddle
features shown at the oliver theater
yesterday but he climbed right into
the hearts of the audience. for the
film version Of the time hallOwed
fairy tale has been screened in a
way 10 produce delicious gOose-fesh
in those who wear rOmpers and con-
slant chuckles in their elders.
"Once upon a time" is the way all
good fairy tales begin, and the story
Of Jack and the Beanstalk." which
is being shown I'm pictures at the
oliver theater, is just about the best
fairy tale ever written; therefore. it
has to begin with "Once upon a
time" even when one is telling the
story of the big photoplay spectacle,
so here goes: Once upon a time
there lived a little boy named Jack,
who was very poor. He was so poor
in fact that his mother told him one
day that they should have to sell the
old COW which had been their friend
for a long number of years; so Jack
took the COW to market, but he
dreaded TO do il. On his way ne
met a butcher who needed some
fresh meat for the people who
bought of him. He knew that
Jacks COW would make delicious
eating. so he told Jack he would
buy the animal for a handful of
beans. Just then good fairy
came down 70 earth, lit on Jacks
shoulder and whispered in his ear,
Take the beans" So Jack took
them and gave the COW to the
butcher. OF course Jacks mother
was very very angry when she saw
what her son had done. So she
threw the beans out of the window
and sent Jack TO bed without his
supper The next morning they
found the beans had sprOuted and
a big beanstalk had grown right up
into the clouds and Jack climbed
up 10 explore, and when he got 10
the top he found an enormous city
and the good fairy came again and
told Jack he would have 20 kill the
giant of whom they were all afraid.
Jack had some thrilling experiences,
but with the aid Of the kings
army he finally escapes with the lit
tie princes, whom the giant had
captured. and takes her down the
beanstalk with the giant following,
but Jack cuts the stalk and the
giant falls and is killed. The act
ing Of little Francis Carpenter as
Jack and Virginia Lee Corbin as the
princess is really marvellous, and in
stage parlance they brought the
house down" with their love scenes.
