"Jack Spurlock- ProdigaI" With
 George Walsh at Locus Buou
Wonderful Story by Editor of Saturday Evening Post, Read by Millions, to Be Shown at Loews Bijou
 Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday

When George Horace Lorimer. editor of Saturday Evenuing Post, wrote Jack Spurlock-Prodigal" he selecte. Harvard as the school from which to requisition his hero In fiction. And Harvard is the place to find young men measuring up to the standard of MT Lorimer's Jack Spurlock-young chaps full of pep" adventursome spirits delighting in seeking strange experiences and more delighted when finding them, as they usually do.
 Jack Spurlock-ProdigaP with George Walsh as star and Carl Har- baugh as director will do credit to Harvard and bear out it's traditions of having Tive wires amongst it's stu dents. The film story is virile in plot, interesting in action. fascinating in it's horse sense philosophy and irresista- ble in its humor.
 In the first scene where the young Harvard student Jack Spurlock, finds a big bear in his dormitory, bathroom after a wild night in Boston's cabarets, the spectator will get his first thrill and hint of the fun to follow. And

It seems inspired and Pereira has sur rounded himself with other musicians who are also artists, resulting in his music having exquisite delicacy and rare color.
