AUDITORIUM.

It's very name-"Slam-B ang Jim"
which opens at the Auditorium for
two days Monday with that popular
favorite. William Russell. promises
snap and smokers. If. as most OF us
believe, the mission of the screen is
10 entertain. the slam Bang jim
| is a missionary 10 the manner born.
A perfect spiders web of mistaken
identity is spun when Slam Bang
Jim. a lively housekeeping New
! Yorker crosses the trail of Arizona
Pete in Lone Star, whittier Jim has
hied himself TO forget. Pete Is
Jim's double-the doubling business
is remarkably well handled, by the
way-and the picture tells how that
fatal resemblance almost undid the
easterner. Each had a lady-lOye.
and both ladies, of course, mistoOk
their man. So did the sheriff, send
ing nice Mr.. Jim to the lookup for
Pete'S sins, when the worst Jim had
been guilty of was to turn up late
for his wedding To pretty Marah. To
make things worse, Pete held up
Marah and her dad. who had follow
ed to take Jim back to their hea rts.
In the end. after many tricks and ac
robatiC stunts and "a stream OF COM
Cdy incidents. the two men are
brought face to face. Their meeting
provides the key TO the queer game
of hide and seek which everyone has
been playing. The latest picture with
William Russell comes highly re

his best comedy Mon
