 Which is but another way of saying that the screens funniest comedian fin his greatest comedy is awaiting the patrons of the Strand in the program arranged for four days. starting today.
 High and Dizzy is in the first place entirely original. Quaint and humor- us-funny and effective is Harold Lloyd, and when Phoenix has had glimpse of this comedian in this su- per success it will join in the long pro- cession of towns which aredaily pay@ ing homage to the court of nerriment over which Lloyd presides with all the pomp of a crowned king.
 For characters High and Dizzy starts with Lloyd as a boy doctor who has nothing to show for his course in medicine but an uutamed ambition to become famous. The next Is a father who loves his daughter and his good time; it's a race to ascertain which af- lection is the stronger. There are high buildings galore, and there's a girl who wanders in her sleep. There's home
 brew with a kick hard enough to smash the necl1s off the deimijohns. Mix this all up in pot pouri and serve it Tn the very excellent portions as d. rected by Harold Lloyd. and the nectar of the gods was never more effAcacious when it came to producing thrills.
 High and Dizzy" is a sample of what Phoenix may expect in the future com edies starring Harold Lloyd, for the Strand will present them as fast as they are released.

LIcoRIcE IS OLDEST CONVECTION

The greater part of black heorice is derived from Spain, where it is made from the juice of the plant and mixed with starch to prevent it from melting in hot weather. The licorice plant is a shrub that attains a height of three feet, and it grows wild where it's roots reach the water It flourishes espe- cially on the banks of the Tigris mad Euphrates rivers.
 Since the valley of the Euphrates contained one of the earliest civiliza- tions in the world, says a writer in the Argonaut, the probability is that licorice is about the oldest confection in the world and the taste which the boys and girls of today like so well was enjoyed by the youngsters of three thousand years ago. - Detroit News.

BLACK SHEEP
LIVES UP TO REP.

Buster had little lamb,
1t strayed from home one day,
And it's perambulations
Are the subject of my lay.
He'd kept the lamb and fed it well,
And raised it to a sheep.
And vowed by all things good and
That lambie knew a heap.
But then one day 1t got away
And went out to see the town,
Strayed around the depot
And rambled up and down.
Then went in through the exit
OF the Buick car concern.
Ane when he once got inside
For green pastures he did yearn.
Then seeing daylight straight ahead
And also spots of grass.
He straightway ran with all his
Straight through the big plate
glass.
Then there was heard an awful
But lambie he got through
And ran for home up Winthrop
street,
AS all good lambs would do.
Buster had a little lamb,
It strayed from home one day:
He found when counting up the cost
sheep raising didn't pay.
The above anonymous Offering is a
good description Of an incident which
happened about 10 o'clock Tuesday
morning. A gentleman sheep" be-
longing. it is understood. to the son
of Hiram Weymouth. who lives at 10
oxford street, got away and went
down Water street at a high rate Of
speed. Upon reaching the railroad
station it turned in and went across
the track where a few men attempted
to capture it. The attempt was un-
successful and the lamb ran into the
back entrance of the Buick agency.
Several men who were working on
car there yelled at it, with the result
that he went into high" and, seeing
daylight ahead. ran against one of
the large plate glass windows. The
damage was apparently confined to
the window, as the lamb continued on
it's way without any slackening or
speed, and after going over Winthrop
hill and wandering around Sewall
street it finally ended it's adventure
at the farm of Donald Neal on upper
Winthrop street, where it was cap
tured.
