"A DARK LANTERN

Drawing room presentations to
royalty are great honor but to most
young girls a great ordeal. Every
thing must be Just So" In many
of the European courts before the
war, the very cut of the gown and
length of the train, the minutest de-
tail of gloves and headdress, had to
conform to an exact standard and
model or the fluttering young wo-
man who wore them was excluded
from the drawing room and not pre-
scented to majesty. Then, provided
that her presentation gown and its
accessories passed muster, the candi-
date for presentation must be, oh, so
careful of her conduct, her gait, her
bow, her expression, and last, but by
no means least, her graceful, back
ward exit. Being presented at court
was at once the greatest honor and
the greatest ordeal that could come
TO young European miss. 1t was
ten times more narrowing than being
bride and facing the battery of eyes
at the church. The drawing room
scene at the court of Prince Anton
of Argovinia is but one of the many
fascinating scenes, played against
magnificent settings, which you will
see in "a Dark Lantern" new Real
art picture, starring versatile Alice
Brady, which comes to the Grand
theatre October 10 and 20.

.'GET OUT AND GET UNDER"

Filled though he is with the pure
Joy of living, Harold Lloyd hates to
get up. He will put off the evil hour
when he must tear himself from his
downy nest to the very last minute
in fact, if he gets a chance, he'll
go far past the last minute. This
habit of his has won for him the
nickname of Speedy"
On his recent trip to New York,
an early appointment made it neces-
sary for Speedy to get up at Z
o'clock, some three hours ahead of
his holiday rising hour. To his
friend and subtitle writer, "Beany'
Walker, fell the task of getting the
young comedian up on time.
Come on, Speedy crawl out, it's
seven o'clock"
Speedy opened half an eye and
inquired;
Eastern Standard or Daylight
Saving time?"
In his newest feature comedy, pro-
.duced by Hal. E. Roach for Pathe
distribution, Harold Lloyd not only
has to get up, but he has to Get
Out and Get Under" The leading
participants in this mirthquake are
Mildred Davis, Sunshine Sammy, a
fliver, a dog and a mouse. Get
Out and Get Under" will be on view
at the Liberty theatre October 16
and II.

"STOP THIEF"

Don't wink or you'll miss a
scene--the wedding gifts will be in
another hiding place. the cast of
stop Thief advised one another
when making that rollicking comedy
featuring Tom Moore, which comes
to the Grand theatre October IS.
In the play the wedding gifts of
Madge Carr (Irene Rich) are Jug
sled about by two kleptomaniacs and
a pair of clever thieves (Tom Moore
and Hazel Daly). The Cars spend
most of their time looking under the
furniture for the misplaced articles,
which disappear and reappear in a
battling manner.
The actors in Stop Thief" finally
had brainstorm themselves, for keep
ing track of the props in the vari-
Gus ridiculous situations was no
small task.
Harry Beaumont, director, often
had to inquire if Tom Moore, Hazel
DAILY and Raymond Hatton were in
stituting a genuine search or doing
their scene, for frequently he would
call Camera" and after the handle
had been grinding several minutes
some member of the cast would
groan: Il can't find the ruby ring.
Mr.. Beaumont" or 1T was under the
couch a minute ago. 1t isn't here,
and I'm supposed to steal it in this
scene,"

There has been quite a lot OF trap
shooting done In this town during
the last year and owing TO the scores
which Delaware shooters have been

20 win. William cBilly,l Foord, the
present Delaware State champion, did
very little shooting during the past
year. but when one considers thal
Foord only shot In two league matches
during the past season and broke
9SXi00 70 is clear that he has moi
gone back and that he will make The
shooters 60 at a fast clip 20 take thl
championship from him.
