Thursday was the last dance at the American until next fall, when the weather is again cool enough to dance indoors with comfort.

 Harold Lloyds greatest comedy, Dumping Into Broadway will con- clude a three day stay at the tColum- bia theater today. This special feature is one number of a big double pro gram for the last times today, Elsie Janis in A Regular Girl' being the other feature.
 Both offerings are of unusual value, far above the ordinary standard. There's a million laughs on the pro- gram, for comedy reigns supreme throughout the entire offering.
 Lloyd's latest comedy creation is the best thing he has ever done before the camera and it entitled him to equal rank with Charlie Chaplin as the best comedian of the day. It's just one laugh after another. each succeeding one just a little heartier than the one before.

Griffith Classic at Strand

Scarlet Days" D. W. Griffith's classic Of 1S49, offers at the Strand, where the attraction enters the last day of it's engagement today, the op- portunity for witnessing one of the most appealing romances of the west ever filmed. It is not in the least the spectacular, never resorts to the brag- gadocia nor the usual western dram atic atmosphere, but on the contrary. tells in the romantic style best eX- pressed by Bret Harte, it's story is the most romantic and adventurous period California ever knew. It's types are carefully drawn, and with that skill which has made D. w. Griffith the wizard of screencraft that he is acknowledged to8be by the best author ities living, Scarlet Days" weaves it's love story convincingly, compeilingly and appealingly.
 It is not stating it too strongly to say that Scarlet Days" is one of the very best western classics ever filmed, and such was the unanimous opinion of the Strand patrons throughout the day yesterday.
 The Outing Chester pictures and the Fox news complete the bill.

WHEN INDIANS LIVED HERE
One Explanation Of the Origin Of
the Phrase Indian Summer.

To the Editor OF The Star:
1 note your editorial in The Star on

The dictionary says the name is of
American origin, the reason for which
is unknown, yet the name has passed
into other countries.

weather so universally recognized
among intelligent people there should
be found no trace of it's origin. Now,
there is tradition handed down that
