engagement in 'Nedra" at Majestic

Is an extravaganza and burlesque
which has been making thousands of
friends along the Columbia circuit.
The cast Is of the first order, from
top to bottom, 4and the offering sets
a pace from. the beginning which
never flags. Miss Frances Farr, the
dainty little soubrette, scarcely more
than out of her teens, has all the
pepertno. tabasco and jazz which the
most exacting could ask for. Barry
Melton. the prima donna, sings like
a bird and viii add to her already
large number of friends. AL Hitler,
Jew comic; Jack Pearl the Dutch,
and Eugene Rauth, the Irish, make
a combination hard to beat, and If
you have a touch of rheumatism, so
that it hurts you to laugh, be sure
and keep away from h Beauty

with the goods this time as usual.
Jack Sheehan, the juvenile, and Inez

those of the Beauty Trust might be
found, but we don't know where you

I'm MIzzOURA" COMING
TO THE DITMAS THEATRE

Much mas been written about real
ism on the screen, but the whole plot
of "In Mizzoura," the new Paramount
Aircraft picture starring Robert War
wick, which will be shown at the Dit
mas theatre Monday, is built around a
startling incident that happened in
that state several years ago The au-
thor, Augustus Thomas, was at that
time q reporter on a St. lou paper.
A train robbery took place. in which
a lone highWayman held up the eX-
press messenger and stole several
thousands of dollars. Afterward he
turned up in a small town and was
captured. Mr.. Thomas tool this at
fair and, with his dramatic genius, in
corporated it into a play, along with
an unusually appealing little love
story. The late Nat Goodwin used 1t
for several years as a starring vehicle.
1t was inevitable hat a play of such
force n appeal hould reach the
screen. Robert Warwick is said to
fit ideally into the role of the hero,
n Eileen Percy is a pretty leading
woman. The cast also includes Noah
Berry, Monte Blue. Gertrude Short
and Robert Cain. Hugh Ford, master
director, handled the screening of the
picture. Beulah Marie Dix, who pic
