CAUGHREN THEATRE BOOKS
UNUSUAL FEATURE FILM
FOR THURSDAY DEC. 18TH

Rupert Hughes tremendous tale of
love and adventure, ''The Unpardon-
able Sin," is announced for an early
showing at the Caughren theatre.
This recent novel by one of Ameri-
cas- most prolific writer's is one of
the most widely discussed and written
about works of fiction of modern
years. AT the time of it's completion
a spirited controversy was in progress
between the publishers of the book
and New York library officials. The
publishers accused library officials of
hampering the circulation of the book
because Of it's subject matter. Yet.
after running -serially in one of the
leading magazines, the sale of tn.
book exceeded three million copies.
The motion picture version brings
back well known star who has not
been seen on the screen for more than
two years-Blanche Sweet. Miss
Sweet was formerly one of the most
popular of the D. w. Griffith players,
appearing in some of his most success
full productions. Other members of
the cast inclues Wesley Barry, Mary
Alden, Matt Moore, and Wallace
Berry.

1t is rather early to predict the fate
of the Good Roads Bond Amendment
which will be voted upon next fall,
except to say that it's advocates are
as staunch as of old. However, it
might not be out of the way to add
that the movement for the adoption of
the amendment has not the punch it
had some months ago. To be frank
about it, the Good Roads Association
shake-up of several weeks ago in
which two employees were made to
walk the plank has had depressing
effect which has been voiced in more
than one rural publication. AS re-
suit, not to mention the natural and
uncomfortable opposition to all mod
ern improvements, there has been a
tendency to shy at the boosting game
and the amendment in consequence is
suffering. In marked contrast, how
ever, is the attitude of a. dozen
or more counties which have
bonded themselves heavily for local
road work. This means that they
will be in at the big game and it is
what may save the amendment from
defeat.
