1.-THE BOOMERANG" AT THE ::
* REX LAST TIMES TONIGHT

%, Il; The management of the Rex prom
ised us something big in "The Boom
erang," and the promise was more
than. fulfilled. Seldom are picture
lovers given such q strong and virile
offering. Mobs and millionaires, love
and lovers were all in evidence, and
yet the film tells love story. In
fact, the love, element is the key note
that rings throughout all the seven
large reels in which this picture is
presented.
= I'm brief, 1.-THE Boomerang" is a
tale ,centering. about the exploits OF
i free and easy young son Of a mil
ionaire, who is disowned and cast
out on his own resources because he
objects to the formation of food
trust, of which his father is one Of
the heads.
/: 4 Henry B.. ,Walthall plays the young
man and in every scene of the hard
struggle upwards, this sterling actor
registers every point with a flowless
technique. The young fellow starts
% Z day laborer and works upward,
bis heart set upon winning the girl
% whom he was engaged. The food
trust begins its operations, and trou-
sble ! follows. He quells riot, helps
elect I reform candidate to the gov
srnorship. The new administration
appoints him prosecuting attorney,
and he brings his guilty father and
/ also the father of the girl he loves to
the bars Of Justice.
" First Of all 1.-THE Boomerang" is a
big picture in every sense of the
word. It has suspense, surprise and
leaves the audience perfectly salts
fed in the end.
A word Of praise must also be
Riven to the wonderful cast that sup
ports Mr.. Walthall. Nina Byron as
the girl is more than convincing, she
ID real. Melbourne Mcdowell, the
! distinguished tragedian Of the legiti-
mate stage, as the INSCRIPTIONS Tiger
Of Wall Street, is positively master
full. Helen Jerome Eddy, Nigel de
Briullier and Richard Morris give
excellent performances. Jack Mac
Donald as Shape, the "Vulture,' y
gives character impersonation which
! il Is brilliant as it is startling and
realistic.
As whole 1.-THE Boomerang
ranks at the head 6f the list Of. the

can't McNairy county be permit

the county has not much to do
with any plan. From reports the
engineers get orders from the
state highway department as to
the route he must take and sur
vey. The county employs the en-
gineer because of his recognized

HOME SERVICE FOR
EVERYBODY IN NEED

Do you know what the present day
Home Service Of the American Red
Cross Is?
Many people do not know that, be-
sides completing the work for ex-serv-
Ice men, especially the disabled, 1t pro-
vides the same neighborly service to
families In general that 1t formerly
gave families Of soldiers, sailors and
marines.
Home Service covers wide and
varied field" says frederick G. Mum
roe, general manager of the American
Red Cross. ut gives aid to families
In solving such problems as budget
planning. marketing, tiding over times
of financial stress, keeping children in
school, helping crippled children, wild
owed and deserted mothers, children
backward in school and children In
conflict with the laws. 1t renders serv-
Ice to the homeless and transient, to
the illiterate, to tenement dwellers, to
the unemployed. and gives friendly as
sistance and advice to foreign speak
Ing groups"
In addition to helping families in
the solution of their own problems,
Home Service helps in strengthening
the weak spots in the social life OF
communities. 1t Joins hands with 9TH
crs to make communities safer,
healthier and happier.
Organizing action along lines In
which the community is already inter-
ested Is one of the objects of Home
Service. 1t has established community
meetings, patriotic celebrations, pag-
eants and picnics. Rest rooms, recre-
alton facilities, play supervisors and
moving pictures have been provided.
Through Home Service other agencies
are influenced to bring about improved
commercial amusements and better
school facilities and to promote travel
Ing libraries as well as to secure coun-
ty agricultural and home demonstra-
ton agents.
II you need assistance at any time,
go to the secretary of the nearest Red
Cross chapter and describe the situa-
ton. Your confidence will be sacredly
respected and every possible effort will
be made to aid you.

There would be very little dis
satisfaction shown by the people.
if the members Of the county
highway commission would do
just exactly what the law says
for them to do, and take the peo-
Pile into their confidence. What
ever is done should be made
known to the tax payers, and let
them be fully advised as to all
steps taken. No one is to be blam-
ed for a desire to have a route
pass by his door, but in efforts to
secure such, the first interest to
consider is that of the county,
and not of the individual.
