OF all the present day writer's there
is not one who stands out more prom.
tnert than does Rex Beach. Everyone
who can read at all has enjoyed at
least one Of his novels. Many film
companies have been after Mr.. Beach
10 produce his stories for the screen
but rot until recently could re be
persuaded TO take active part in the
presentation Of his works. After many
fattering offers he finally agreed to
distribute his productions under the
Golowyn banner. the first of which
entitled Laughing Bill Hyde" will be
shown today at this theatre. Mir
Beach was especially fortunate in luz
ing from the stage Will Rogers, the
well known star OF the Follies. The
result of this combination is one Of
the most delightful pictures seen on
the screen in many months. Colonial
patrons will have the good fortune TO
see this picture at the usual prices OF
admission. 1t will be the first time
that advance prices have not been
charged wherever it has been shown.
More than 1000 people last week al

The Master Mystery in which
Houdini appears. ard not a single one
was disappointed. Everything that
could possibly be expected was shown
in a delightful manner. and Houdini
bids fair to break all serial records.
