Gradually the Thing sank lower

LAST CHANCE TO SEE
"a MIDNIGHT ROMANCE

Harrisburg movie fans have one
more chance to go through "A Mid
night Romance" with Anita Stewart.
This picture has played to thousands
of Harrisburgers and many more Will
want TO see this dainty actress to-
day. The story starts when an item
appears in newspaper that the
Sloan residence burned to the ground.
Three blackmailers read this notice
and decide to secure some money
from young Roger Sloan. the son of
the fnancer through Blonde Maize
- good looking girl blackmailer.
Their plans are thwarted by the
actions of Marie Alexander, a refugee,
who has landed on the eastern coast
and obtained n position at the Sea-
side, a famous summer resort. The
story is unique the scenery superb
and the actors splendid. Another un-
usual thing about this picture is the
fact that it was written by a woman
the star is a woman - and the
director is not a director but di-
rectoress. But if you have ever seen
a better man made play you've gone
some.
Monday and Tuesday, the Victoria
Peters in The Forfeit" House
Peters is an actor of the silver
screen who is always enthusiastic
ally welcomed in this city.

Upon her throne of finely wrought
gold sat Glinda, and she could
scarcely repress smile as her pc
culiar visitors entered and bowed be-
fore her. Both the Scarecrow and
the Tin Woodman she knew and
liked; but the awkward Pumpkin
head and Highly Magnified Woggle-
bug were creatures she had never
seen before, and they seemed even
more curious than the others. AS
for the Saw-Horse, he looked to be
nothing more than an animated

REPEATED MISTAKES LAND
"POOR BOOB" IN CONGRESS

Bryant Washburn, popular young
Paramount star. has the leading role
in Poor Boob" the wholesome, roll
licking, joyous screen story which
is playing at the Regent theater to-
day only. 1t is by far one of the
best laugh-tonics ever seen in this
city, and is decidedly away from the
ordinary. Its comedy scenes are rich,
and even the celebrated Sphinx would
have to grin at the laughable scenes
of this picture. The Poor Boob"
makes mistakes by the dozen, but
they never bother him; why, they
eventually get him a seat in Con-
gress! How? Better stop in at the
regent and see how; maybe you can
get to Congress, too
Fatty Arbuckle is also on the bill
as an added attraction, in Good

more laughs!
