The True Northerner was in error
last week in giving the dates for the
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw feature at the
Idle Hour. This feature "Redempt-
ton" comes Friday and Saturday
nights. April 26 and 27. Those who
came to the Idle Hour last week ex-
pecting to see this feature, were not
disappointed, for the feature shown
those evenings was the best ever
seen in Paw Paw. In fact Mr..

every nipht, and no matter what may
be the evening one decides to attend
this popular Movie house, he is sure
to feel well repaid, for the splendid
programs scheduled are always we'll
worth seeing.
