COLONIAL THEATER. One of the most
entertaining programs of the year is Of
fered today at this theater, matinee and
evening, including smiling George Walsh
in the five reel feature, "Some Boy" a
Paramount Photograph and some comedy
cartoons. It's great show, don't miss
it! Friday, matinee and evening, the
famous stage success of George Broad
hurst which made sensational run on
Broadway, ''The Law of the Land' with
the famous actress, Nine. Petrova is Of
fered. The story is of woman tried be-
yond her strength who shoots the brute
of man who attempts to beat her boy.
The verdict of any jury would have been
against her for the circumstantial evil
dence was never clearer against the
worst criminal, but the verdict of the
inspector who was sent to look up the
case-well, you must see that for your
self to appreciate it at the Colonial, Fri
day. A big offering for the weekend
show Saturday is the good word, Alice
Joyce and Harry Morey in the Blue Rib
bon feature, "Whom the Gods DESTROY"
Big V comedy and little Bobby Connel-
ly in mis- latest You'll 60 home after see
ing THE Ghost House." Monday with
some of the vim and pep" of youth re-
gained. Don't miss the happiest boy and
girl in the world, Jack Pickford and
Louise Huff in the happiest little mystery
play ever written. Also the second cpl
sode of ''Who Is Number one'2' featur-
ing Kathleen Clifford. Remember the
day, Monday.
Boy SCOUTS. Nearly thirty members
of the Boy Scouts were present last Tues
day evening for the regular meeting and
one new name was proposed for member
ship. Orland Orchard gave a demon
stration in bandaging which will be re-
peated at the next meeting One of the
features of the meeting was the presen-
tation to Scout Rudolph Cassens of certi-
ficates and badges as life and star scout,
a rank which has few equals in this State.
In order to become Life Scout one must
pass examinations in merit badges of
first aid, physical development, personal
health, public health and pioneering. The
qualifications of a Star Scout include
these tests and also tests of five other
merit badges, all requiring much study
and preparation. Scout Cassens has
passed examinations in the largest num-
Der of merit badges and automatically
becomes the Patrol Leader of the Eagle
Patrol, the oldest patrol in the Belfast
Troop. The Star and Life Scout badges
are awarded by the National organization
of the Boy Scouts in New York and it is
deserving credit to any scout to secure
them. Stories were told by the different
members and the meeting closed with
physical drill work. Next Tuesday even
ing, Rev. A. E. Wilson will continue his
story on Bird Life" which is extremely
interesting and was started at recent
meeting. Plans are in order for the pre-
sentation of Boy Scout play in the
month of January and the committee is
already making the selection. 1t is ex-
pected that some arrangement will be
made for change of rooms, owing to the
increasing attendance and the plans to
carry out more of the Boy Scout move
ment in exercises and contests.
