a cleanup and paintup campaign.
Grand Rapids had better watch out,

visitors that we had the prettiest

at present in Grand Marais, and that
is a public park and camping place
There is a pretty spot across the
bay that would make an ideal place.
Some movement should also be star
ted to acquire public camping places
along the shore road. 1t is only a
question>of time until all the pretty
spots will be picked up by parties
desiring summer homes. In Cali

"A Chorus Girls Romance Feature at Strand Monday

Her face was her fortune" Is an old, old story, but Marcia Meadows found other parts of her anatomy which were equally valuable She founded her wreath in her shoulders and her feet for Marcia danced. And how Marcia could dance. She is the heroine of a Chorus Girls Romance, in which Viola Dana is starred and which will be shown at the Strand Theatre Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
 "A Chorus Girls Romance" is pie turzation of Scott Fitzgerald's story Head and Shoulders" which created so much comment when it was printed in the Saturday Evening Post" The role of Marcia Meadows is one of the finest Miss Dana had ever had It fits her charming personality and the little star is known as one of the most graceful dancers appearing before the camera.
 In the brief vacation that directly pre- ceded her start in her new production Miss Dana spent many hours before mirror teaching her shoulders to mis- beheave.
 Indeed, as Marcia Meadows, Miss Dana

 Miss Dana's leading man, Garetn Hughes has the part of Horace Taroox, the studious young college boy who falls in love with the little dancer. Phil Aims worth has been cast for an important play, as Steve Reynolds, cabaret per- former.
 Others in the exceptional cast are Wn- liam Quinn, Jerre Sundin, Sidney De Grey, Lawrence Grant, Tom Gallery, Ed ward Jobson and Martyr Best.
