BIG DOUBLE BILL
At new DAYToNA
THEATfR THURSDAY

Mcmahon & Jackson will present
Paul Swan and associates in Diana,
the Huntress," at the New Daytona
Thursday afternoon and night.
Every moment in this drama is an
exquisite picture in itself. The nymphs
in their classic dancing, present
symphony in grace and motion, which
reaches its artistic climax in the mist
dance and the fine art poses from the
Old Masters.
The appearance of Diana and Apollo
before the Court of Jupiter will bring
to mind the exquisite coloring of AL
ma-Tadema. The punishment visited
upon Action by Diana, for his intru-
sion at the bath, his tragic fate, trans
formed into stag. pursued and fin
ally destroyed by his own hunters and
dogs, will inspire the most exacting
seeker of tragic-psychology.
Rosie O'Grady was a ray of sunshine
in the midst of the dreary ugliness
of the tenement in which she lived.
Real romance was not for her. So
she dreamed of wonderful and thrill
ing experiences and life became not
so drab after all.
Little Rosie lived in the fierce, throb-
bling maelstrom of the East Side and
her career consisted of being first as
sistant and general manager of her
big brother "Chimmie's" newsstand.
"Chimmie" was Rosie's hero until she
noticed the picture of Cyclone John
ny" Allen, pride of the East Side, and
middleweight pugilist of champion as
piratiOns.
Taking care of Rosie was Chin
mics" mission in life. He was a
prizefight fan, but his life with Rosie
had kept something fine in him bright
and shining. To his eye, few photo
graphs of future Champs made the
most decorative of art galleries. Ro-
sic managed to put a few feminine
touches here and there among the
white hopes" The OGrady living
room was a dismal place to live in
even at best but somehow Rosie and
''Chimmie" managed to have many
good times in it.
In the meantime sweet Rosie O'Gra-
dy kept on falling in love with the pic
ture of Cyclone Johnny" Allen. One
unforgettable day the hero of her
dreams actually stopped at the news
stand and bought a paper from Rosie
while her brother was away, but he
was all unconscious of the havoc he
was causing in the heart of the little
girl who sold him the paper.
This was a red-letter day for Ro-
sic. All the way home she dreamed
of meeting with the great Cyclone"
Johnny, whose name was on all of
the sporting pages, and when she fell
asleep, wearied with the long day in
the cold, she kept on dreaming.
She was talking with Cyclone John
ny" at the newsstand. Apparently.
he liked the little "newsy" and she
distinctly heard him say that, if she
ever needed help, she could count on
him. Rosie felt considerably better
after this offer of assistance for she
had often wondered how she could
get along if anything ever happened
to "Chimmie".
Then it happened. A bar-room loafer
insulted her and she turned to her
brother with cry of outraged mod
esty. "Chimmie' avenged the insult
and received a knift-thrust Then fol-
lowed doctors bills, which Rosie could
not meet with her scanty savings. In
desperation she went to Cyclone
Johnny. He proved friend in need
as he had said he would.
Broader and deeper grew Rosie's
herO-wOrship until it became love for
the prize-fghter. She saw him as
champion of the world, pictured the
scene at the ring and saw the re-
turns, round by round, as they came
in on the tape in the corner saloon.
The remainder of the plot centers
about the wonderful romance of Ro-
sic, a trip to Europe. and the biggest
battle of Cyclone Johnny's" career.
But the story of how the imaginative
little "newsy" found both love and ad-
venture is best told on the screen.
These two pictures will be shown
at the New Daytona theatre Thursday
January 4th. afternoon and night.
