"LIFE's DARN FUNNY"

Viola Dana, the effervescent little
Metro star whose work on the screen
is thing of undiluted joy, will be
seen at the Grand theatre, October
20 and 81, in her latest picture,
"Life's Darn Funny"
Nearly everybody sometimes in his
life has occasion to say appropos OF
some unusual experience that takes
one completely by surprise, Life S
Darn Funny" And it is. You will
think 50 in this picture when you
see Zoe Robert, the ambitious but
struggling violinist who is about to
launch on her career with recitay,
when she discovers the lack of a
gown may prevent her debut AS
luck would have it, another artist,
Clay Warwick, painter by profession
and landlady-dodge by necessity,
hears her weeping, comes on the
scene and designs a stunning frock
for her. Both later go into the cos
tune designing business, hoping to
gain some money, but things go
wrong continually. Always at the
eleventh hour something propitious
intervenes, and in the end both are
launched successfully on their arts
tic careers.
Viola Dana has the part of little
Zoe, and opposite her is Gareth
Hughes, the youthful brilliant actor.
as Clay Warwick, the painter.

"THE MHISTLE"

4 drawbridge tender asleep at his
post; an open bridge and a motor
crashing into the inky waters below;
a child's scream and a mans brave
plunge to the rescue!
This is one of the smashing scenes
in The WHISTLE picture pro-
duced by William S. Hart and writ
ten by Lambert Hillyer, who also di-
rected it. The original story is by
May Wilmoth and Olin Lyman.
III this new Paramount offering,
which will be shown at the Liberty
theatre October Is, 16, II, Mr.. Hart
has a new role-that of a factory
worker, man accustomed to Jump
to the sound of the whistle"
His attempt to mete out justice to
a man whose selfishness has result
ed in the death of the workers be-
loved child, develops a series of sit
uations that come as a completely
satisfying train Of events which
round out to conclusion that is
distinctly compelling.
In every way this is a powerful
drama and one that should satisfy
the most exacting. Three famous
juvenile players appear in the cast
Frank BrownIee has the heavy"
role

GONE WILD WEEK"

1t is pretty generally accepted
psychological fact that suppressed de-
sires are the most dangerous. For
instance, the girl who never has any
pretty clothes thinks twice as much
about them as the girl who has
them as a matter of course, The
boy who is forbidden to play cards
is just twice as eager to learn to play
poker as the boy whose parents join
him in cheerful game in the fam
lily sitting room.
The story of girl who never had
any fun or pretty clothes and who
breaks away from stern discipline
the very morning she attains her 18th
birthday has been amusingly told
in Bebe Daniels latest picture, "One
Wild Week which comes to the
Grand theatre October 1G and II.
AS the girl who tries to make up
for lost time and have a little whole
some, natural fun, Miss Daniels has
a delightful role, well suited to her
temperament and style.

"TUE ROWDNn

THE Rowdy" was little girl who
lived in little house in little VIII
lage by the sea- She was a tom
boyish sort of person who made the
old folks happy and the young folks
miserable. She is foster-daughter
of one of the fishing schooner cap
tains, but is loved as one of the
family.
She doesn't know she loves Bert
Kincaid, fine looking but rough
product of the fishing coast, but she
does. And when she goes away to
the city to live with two wealthy
aunts who believe her to be the
daughter of their sister lost at sea
many years before, she longs for the
village and Bert.
There are some wonderful sea-
scapes in the picture, and Miss Wal
ton is as good as 1.-The rowdy" as she
has been in any role in months. It
is a typical Walton role, to be shown
at the Grand theatre, October IS,
so you can tell them about her.

EVOLVES OF THE NORTH"

AL the mystic romance of the
north and the primitive passions of
the men and women who battle the
elements for their bread are force
fully depicted in Wolves of the
North, the sensationally dramatic
Universal story coming to the screen
of the Liberty theatre, October is
and 10.
Eva Novak plays the principal
role. The picture was written and
produced by Norman Dawn, .di-
rector who made such productions
as THE Adorable Savage, THE Fire
Cat" and 'Lasca."
The story of wolves of the
North is daring in its ruthless ex-
pose of human emotion. 1t concerns
a girl, schoolteacher in Alaska who
IS loved by two men. One of them
is two-fisted herman with mascu-
line faults. The other is a weakIing
in whom the crashing silences of the
desolate country have not awakened
the woll-strain which, the story i'm
plies, exists in all men. As the dra-
matte story PUSHES toward it's climax
1t is never certain which of the men
the girl will marry. but her choice
made by force Of circumstances is
satisfactory.

been generally agreed upon, will
again come up for consideration. 1t

come of the caucus held with the

of paving northern Main street.
The Metuchen Board of Health
members will go to Raritan Town

OF seeing what assistance that body
will lend Metuchen in draining the
dismal swamp" An official of the
State Board of Health last year went
over the dismal swamp" and an
nounced that it could be drained for
$500. The Metuchen council con
sidered the matter but decided that
it could not spend more than $1,000
on the swamp and consequently
dropped the matter. 1t is now felt
that financial assistant from Rari-
tan township will make possible the
draining of dismal swamp" and she
killing of many mosquitoes which
live there.
