Despite the fact that the local Navy
recruiting station was only opened a

showing in the first monthly report of

The report received by the local re-
lcruiting officer today shows that
Maysville is tied with Owensboro and
Hopkinsville for fourth place and
only Louisville, Lexington and Bowl

Robertson-Cole super-special, is the
notable cast, which includes some of
the best known actors and actresses
on the screen. The picture will be
the special attraction at the Pastime

Elaborateness of setting creates an
atmosphere in which Mr.. Cody fits
perfectly in his role as blase artist.
The famous star is at his best in this
picture. Mr.. Cody is nothing If not a
stickler on each and every point in
connection with his productions and
much of the credit for this wonderful
film is due the star.
Betty Blythe, the beautiful and
clever leading woman, whose sue
cesses in "the Silver Hoard" "The
Third Generation" and other no less
worthy films were so marked, plays
one of the leading feminine roles. Her
work is as clear cut as a precious
stone. D4
Elinor Fair, the winsome, dark
eyed Southern miss, who so ably por-
trayed the invalid girl in "The Mir
acle Man" is seen in the leading
ingenue role Miss Fair made her first
screen appearance four years ago

MAYSvILlE SURELY
FORTUNATE TO SEE
HUMORESQUE EARLY
Great Cosmopolitan Picture Comes
Here Early as Special Favor
To Colonel J. b.
Russell.

Maysville is the first city of its size
in the United States to show "Mumor-
esQue," the great Paramount-Artcraft
picture which has been the film sem
sation of the year This statement was
made yesterday by Frank A. Cassidy,
exploitation representative of the Fa-
nous Players-Lasky company, who is
here assisting ]. Barbour Russell in
arranging for the presentation of this
wonderful picture OF the operat house
Thursday and Friday, October % and
29.
According to Mr.. Cassidy "Humor-
esque," which is cosmopolitan fea-
ture with Miss Alma Rubens in the
leading role, has broken all attend
ance records in the large cities of the
country. So great has been the de-
mand for the picture that all the films
that were made have been held over
for extended engagements in the the
ators which had the original bookings,
and as result the theaters in the
cities of one hundred thousand and
larger population are just now geet-
ting the first presentation.
1t was Mr.. Russell's high standing
with Manager Frederick Strict Of the
Cincinnati exchange that enabled him
to obtain a booking for "Humor-
esque" within two weeks after Its
showing in Cincinnati, concession
not granted to many towns.
"Humoresque" deals with the
mothers influence on the home and is
a remarkable story, well-acted and
lavishly produced. In New York II
ran for 16 weeks at the Criterion the
ater at $3.50 and 81 prices. In Mays
vile it will be offered at so cents-a
slight increase in the charge for the
super productions being made imper-
alive by the price charged by the ex-
change for an early showing of the
picture.
During the Cincinnati engagement
of the picture, which lasted two
weeks the attendance records at the
Walnut were shattered. The Times
Star in reviewing "Humoresque" de-
clared that at rivals the best Of the
spoken dramas in heart interest, ant
pleased the thousands who literally
fought their way into the theater al
the initial showing, and at all times
during the extended engagement"
Although this is Mr.. Cassidy's first
visit to Maysville, he had always fell
rather familiar with this city, as his
parents lived in both Maysville anC
Flemingsburg more than fifty year:
ago, and in his early boyhood days ou
in Iowa he heard many references t.
the days spent in Maysville by his old
er brother and sisters.
