BEN TURPIN HERO OF
"a SMALL TOWN IDOL"

ga Small Town Idol" one of the
few productions Mack Sennett has
made in six-reel proportions, comes
to the Grand theater Saturday, be-
ginning an engagement limited to
two days. r.. .-.. ,E.
With practically every member OF
his all-star aggregation of funny folk
enrolled in congenfal part, there is
assurance that "a Small Town Idol'
will more than make good in the dis
tinguished presence Of its Sennett
predecessors. II #F..
Ben Turpir is the village hero.
Phyllis Hayer is his small town ideal;
Marie Provost is the city-girl that be-
friends poor Ben when the home-folks
turn him down; Charlie Murray is
the interchangeable constable; Jimmy
Finley-son is the wretched villain
Kalla Pasha and Eddie Gibbon and
all the rest of the Sennett notables
are to De seen advantageCusly in the
shifting scenes that cover as many
places as are usually revealed in a
half-dozen problem plays" wherein
the sluns and the green fields are
visited.
"a Small Town Idol" is an au-
thentic story of village youth,
wrongfully accused, making good in
city and returning to find-the vii
lain espoused to his sweetheart and
he (the hero) accused of murder.
From all of which disaster the in
genuity of Mack Sennett and the skill
of his players eXtricate Ben to the
joyful clang Of wedding bells. 49,.

clever novelty features makes this We
hicle different from anything Fair
banks has ever before appeared in.
1'ks outstanding element in the pic
ture is the remarkable love story that
runs through it. AS wealthy young
fellow with a hobby for invention,
the hero falls so desperately in love
with a girl that he really touches
your heart with the mishaps he en-
counters in his efforts to win favor
in her eyes. Everything happens to
him from losing his clothes to being
suspected Of murder. How he at last
works out his problems furnishes one
of the most remarkable endings ever
presented, and for that reason the
theater management believes the pub
lie will be nutty about 1.-The Nut. ;"
'TI'he Nut" opens in Minneapolis
Saturday for an indefinite run, the
same day 1t opens here.

CUBS BEAT DODGERS
In DOUBLE HEADER
Otto Miller's Failure to Hold
Throw to Plate Costly to
Burleigh Grimes.

Special Despatch to THE NEw YoRK HEsALp.
CHICAGO. Sept. 1s-The Cubs played
bang up hall In both sections OF their
double header with the Dodgers here
this afternoon and won both. the first
by a score of / to 0 and the second by
a count of to I. In the first clash the
Cubs beat Burleigh Grimes, the Dodg-
ers' star hurler. and an error by Otto
Miller resulted in the only run OF the
contest.
II was the first Sunday game the Cubs
had won at home this season. and after
II was safely tucked away they hung
up their second Sunday victory before
a friendly gathering by punching hits in
the hrst inning off Dutch Ruether. Virgil
Cheeves, who pitched the first for the
Cubs. and Aleck Freeman, who won the
second tilt, received great support from
their mates. Ray Grimes, at first base,
made several spectacular plays in the
second battle.
Grimes and Cheeves hooked up in the
first game. and it resulted III a pitchers
battle. Burlegh is making 4 desperate
effort to win twenty-five games before
the season ends, and he pitched out of
turn to-day hoping that he would win
his twenty-second contest. AS he lost,
practically all chances OF him reaching
his goal vanished. The spitballer will
probably start only three more games
this year. Otto Miller's failure to hold
a throw TO the plate from right field
caused Burleigh's downfall. 1t was thu
only error charged against the Dodgers
and was made In the eighth session. and
Max Flack crossed the plate with the
only tally of the battle.
