New Theatre Opens.

Manager Thomas A. Cosgrove opened
his new theatre in the Seifert block
Wednesday evening. He was given a
very fine attendance and all who were
present agree that the bill and the
manner it was displayed was the finest
ever seen in L'Anse.
His new equipment is of the best
and with the new Simplex-Precision
machine installed one can see as good
pictures here now as in any other town
no matter where or how large the the
atre is.
Mr.. Cosgrove offers an exceptionally
strong bill tonight, featuring Fatty
Arbuckle.
The making of "A Reckless Romeo, -
the second Roscoe Fatty" Arbuckle
comedy two reeler was attended with
some stirring episodes when the scenes
shown in Palisades Amusement Park
were being taken. The big park
perched on top of the historic Palisades
is most animated place and there is
always more or less excitement there
but the presence of Mr.. Arbuckle and
his company of farceurs provided thrills
and sensations that no oratorical "bal-
lyhoo" man could do justice to.
Failure to take one of the Parks po-
licemen into the confidence OF the mo-
vie actors was responsible for at least
two exciting Incidents. Officer O'Leary
is his name and as might be expected
from this cognomen he takes his re-
sponsibilities seriously. So, when he
saw person of rural appearance in
volved in an alteration with the white
aproned attendant of an ice cream cone
stand he was prompt to act. Apparent
ly the 'farmerish' looking individual
was trying to beat" the park mer'
chant out of two succulent cones ant
that was . misdemeanor of the gravest
nature. With club in hand he pounced
on the man and with more speed thar
dignity he placed him under arrest
Protestations from the "farmer" thai
he was none other than AL st. John
famous as the original Keystone col
and therefore entitled to every courtesy
from the police, were in vain unit
O'Leary discovered the camera mar
busily cranking his machine.
But instead Of profiting by this ex
perience O'Leary blundered again fiv'
or ten minutes later. His eagle ey'
caught well groomed stout man in tn,
act of ogling lady seated on parl
bench. Watching him closely O'Lear,
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1917-08-04

saw the man slide along the bench and
encircle the lady's waist with his arm.
That was carrying things altogether
too far in highly respectable park in
the broad daylight, decided O'Leary,
and the result was lively mixup. Af-
ter the combatants were separated,
O'Leary learned that the fiirtatious
one was FATTY" Arbuckle and that
the whole thing had been staged for
the edification of moving picture fans.
In the meantime footage Of highly di-
verting sort had been piled up and no
body regretted the incident but the
vigilant sleuth, who had thus unknow-
ingly contributed his expert and official
services gratis in tho interests of art.
However, since this experience o.
Leary has become very wary and
wouldn't interfere even in murder
unless he made sure there was no cam
era in the neighborhood.
Tonight's complete program will be
found on the last page of this issue.
