comedies ever presented on the

doubtedly has novel role which
equals and in some instances sur
passes her performance in the show
mentioned.
Pinto" presents the star in n
clever comedy story. the scenes of

York.
The story is made for one prossess-
ing Miss Normand's talents. Her rid

Is delight and a revelation. Her
versatility in the more tense and
thrilling scenes in New York stirs
sympathy and generally holds the
attention through the sheer power
of her acting. As for the comedy
situations, everybody who ever saw

enough to win the game
The injury TO Dean occurred when.

the ball. The bah fell for a safety
and advanced the runner. from where
he scored when the next batter

Both Bay and Fox pitched plendid
ball and both twiriers were given first

eighth inning when the ascension for
the Canonites came. Bay has been a
hard luck twirier. losing his last two
eaarts due to erartic support and er-
rors in the pinches. The Canon CITY

well and he has never been given a
