to be presented by Thomas H. Ince
through Aircraft possesses some
striking features that differentiate it
from the long series of dramas that
have made the name of Hart famous

There was something of an inspir-
alton in the plan to make films of
famous fairy tales. The average per-
son half remembers, half forgets them
and there is a distinct wish to have
them visualized. They are something
always in the back of ones mind,
about the fairy tales, and which pre-
sent distinct pleasure when they
are revived in the active memory.
Such is the picture version of Jack
and the Bean Stalk which will be at
the Classic again tonight.

were secured. At one of the most pic
turesque spots in the cantOnment, on
the banks of the st. Johns river,
these scenes were staged.
Comedy is founded on contrasts. To
upset dignity or to halt any serious
purpose with sudden violence, is suf-
ficient to bring laugh in real life
or on the screen. It is just such-the
blending of serious, almost pathetic
situations, with some ridiculous hap
ngs-that makes His Day Out"
at the Classic Saturday such a good
production.
The war tax question as applied to
the box office is still confusing Many
theatre goers still wonder why the
management should display a sign ad-
mission of 9 and 13 cents, war tax ex-
ira. They are following a national or
der which states that the war tax
must be kept seperate The war tax on
the 8 cent ticket is 1 cent and on the
IL cent ticket 2 cents, making the ad-
mission 10 and Is cents respectively.
