! I. 10 l. TO h..
many friends of George M. and tell you
the story of this corking picture, Billy
Holiday, though the champion drink
any form. When he loses his job through
of his employer, he goes to little town
in New York State that is bossed by Otto
Wurst, owner of the brewery Here he
his daughter Edith, operators of the
stand against liquor. A Atemperance con-
vention brings many ministers to town
and the Wurst faction seeks to break up
their meeting, but Billys extemporaneous
oratory saves the day and makes him
nationally famous overnight Incident
/ ally he has popularized 'rVevo," tenn
perance drink invented by Jayson. Next
Saturday he is to give public speech in
the city square. Wurst threatens his
employees with loss of occupation due to
! his closing down the brewery unless they
break up the gathering and drive Holli-
day out of town. They advance en-
masse, but Holiday disperses them with
a broadside of sky rockets and a barrage
of cannon crackers brought for the occa-
sion. He then offers them employment
in the new soft drink factory at increased
pay and wins them over. He then pro-
poses to Edith until two-something in
the morning and finally wins her hand.

She is, in fact, his beacon. This is CAPT.
tally brought out IN the drama of the
seacoast and the city, the action shifting
from the fishing banks to the studios Of
New York's Bohemian art circles
Through it all the simple-heartedness
the eternal womanliness of the heroine
shine forth to guide her erring lover away
from the shoals of deception. The Be-
loved Traitor is the feature attraction fol
Tuesday.
Patrons of the Colonial can't help but
be enthusiastic over this picture o1
"Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp" thai
William Fox's clever child actors have
made for you. Mr.. Fox certainly rubbee
the lamp of good fortune when he decided
to place on the screen Version of that
beautiful old fairy tale that has thrilled
SO many hearts, both young and old. The
results are really beyond the greatest ex.
pectations. C. NJ. and S. A. Franklin
the directors, have turned out thriller
of this chlldren's story that will please
persons of all ages Besides these won
derful Fox Kiddiees, the scenic effects
and the magic of the camera tend te
heighten doubIefold the gripping interest
in the screen story. Palaces arise out o1
the desert; the genie appears from no.
where; precious stones and costly jewels
are turned into fishes in the twinkle of ar
eye; Aladdin, standing in the doorway ot
his fathers shop in Bagdad, is shorn o1
his fine clothes and wrapped in his ole
ones without the eye being able to detect
how it is done. 1t would appear that
there was magic used in the making oi
the picture. The opening scene of the
city of Bagdad, where evening is falling
is thing of beauty in itself. Men art
Dravinp and Salaaminp with their face.
