METROPOLITAN
"A Mans Home"

"A MANS HOME" acclaimed
throughout the United States
as one of the most entertaining
photodramas ever made, will be the
principal feature of the bill this
week at Crandalls Metropolitan
Theater. In this production are
pictured group Of the most skill
full players apt to be seen in any
single feature. Foremost among
these celebrated players are Harry
T. Morey. Kathryn Williams, Matt
Moore. Raland Bottomley, Faire
Binney and Grace Valentine.
The story which they visualize
with such consummate art is not
one of fragrant artificialities, Grass
sensationalism and cheap sentiment
tality, but a forceful. natural re-
Election of modern American home
life devised solely as an entertain
ment of the first rank and not as
preachment or propaganda.
The central figures in the unfold
ing Of the gripping narrative are
a millionaire and his wife and
daughter, the daughters fiance,
and pair of clever blackmailers.
The plot is one of many surprises
and moves with such briskncss as
to keep the spectator perpetually
on the qui vive.
The added comedy attraction,
Christie's new two-reel farce, "Fall-
ing for Fanny" will bring a note
Of novelty to the program for the
week. Instead of the pipe organ
grand piano combination which has
accompanied the comedies at the
Metropolitan with such unique sue
cess, there will be this week a
complete Jazz band in addition to
the usual Metropolitan Symphony
of solo artists. The band has been
especially engaged to play brief
program of Introductory numbers
and to accompany the snappy ac-
ton of one of the seasons most
laughable short-reel films.
The overture selected by N.
Mirskey as the special concert num-
Der for the symphony is Herold's
Tampa" which will serve to bring
out the full beauty of the rich en-
semble for which the Metropolitan
Symphony Ia famous.
