wv forth and bitten several down by
the Universal Film company, and
they have gone and formed ball team.
aforesaid bug seems to have landed mostly
en- the bookers who are promoting the af-
fair. A booker" you know, Is the guy
who tells you what picture you might get.
Now these said bookers did for some time
ball everything up. but now that they
have everything going nicely again and
the first of May will soon be here, they
must be in some sort Of ball game, and
we are anxious to see the results. Yes, they
have all kinds of pep and are ready to
meet all Corners. The phone number is
Tyler 800. We suppose their isignia Will
be Red Feather. but 1t appears to us with

it has been dong and 1t was. done by this
ssme man again. II you don't believe It, see
intolerance" when 1t Is shown here. 1t has
been proclaimed by all the best critics to
be the very last word in the silent drama
and they predict It will never be surpassed
at least not for many years.
There has always been a question In the
silent drama who are the most temper

way they say the dark haired ones are and
admit they can prove 1t by any>of the faif'
