Tom Sawyer Tonight, Bill Hart
Never was there more ardent de-
mand for the bringing back OF q
popular picture than for tom Saw
yer" These requests have come
even more from the adults than from
the children, probably because of the
wide appeal that Mark Twain's book
has made on the lingering memories
of the grown-up kids, recalling the
old days so wildly. Many who
have seen tom Sawyer have asked
to have 1t back and there has been
a clamor of enthusiasm from those
who have heard about 1t.
Tom Sawyer comes to the Grand

the company's brief, to add to the
car fare to make up this deficit and
keep the cars going. Operating ex-

has done along the lines Of economy,
such as installing one man cars and

The increase in automobiles In the

Der of soldiers and business peopit
who are engaged in war work, are
possible reasons for the falling off
in car revenue, and the company feels
that some step must be taken to get

The increase in fares to seven
