Rahe Ruth at Strand

American sportsman comes to the
Strand theatre today in the sensa-
tional six-part super-feature cinema
drama "Headin' Home" and he
brings to this city a ecord of having
shattered ali attendance figures at
the spacious Madison Square Garden
in New York City.
Babe" Rub as a motion-picture
star is indeed a treat for the local
film and baseball fans. Americas
greatest of all time hitters has for
months been virtually monopolizing
the columns of the sporting pages of
local newspapers with his extraor-
binary hitting, but coming here as
the featured member of a photo
drama that has been received by the
most fastidious of critics as the sec
ond sensational triumph of "Rabe''
Ruth in one season" is indeed a rare
opportunity for Perth Amboy to see
the most talked-of-American to-day
kill TWO birds at one stroke.
