nHandcunS or Kisscs'

A photoplay which affords the star
a part far removed from any in
which she has before appeared
and tells an ~engrossing story of life
in a girls reformatory will be see
at the Strand Theatre next Monday
when Elaine Hammerstein'S latest
Selznick picture, Handouts or
Kisses" begins a three day engage
ment at the head of an attractive
picture program.
Miss Hammerstein in this pro-
duction portrays the part of a young
girl who is unjustly sentenced to a
term in a large penal institution.
While there she is subjected to end
less i~ndignities and cruel punish
ment and when her rebellion brings
about a searching investigation into
conditions in the institution, love
creeps into the story and the ac-
ton accelerates until at the conclu-
sion of the play the picture is n
of the swiftest moving dramas in
which this popular star has appear
ed.
The screen story. while purely
fctional, is not unlike many others
that are daily being told in real life
within the confines of certain large
reformatories and in producing
Handouts or Kisses the director
has woven into the plot much real
ism. Thomas Edgelow wrote the
story, which appeared in "Young's
Magazine" Direction is by George
Archainbaud.
Supporting Miss Hammerstein is
a large and notable cast with Rob-
ert Ellis at the head. Other faces
which will be familiar to local thea
TRIGGERS are Florence Billings, Julia
Swayne Gordon, Ronald Schabel,
George Lessey, Ronald Coleman,
Dorothy Chappell. Edward Davis and
Alison Skipworth.

Wallace Reid at Ditmas

Wallace Reid has driven almost
every kind of vehicle in his Para
mount screen offerings. In his re-
cent picture. 1.-THE Love Special" he
added a locomotive to the list and in
the automobile race picture immedi-
ately following, he drove a fast rae
ing car around the track at a speed
of a hundred aid ten miles per hour.
In 1.-THE He'll Diggers," his late
picture written by Byron Morgan
which is being shown at the Ditmas
Theatre the star operates n of the
most unusual machines in the world
the giant dredger which is used
to pan the precious metal from the
earth in Norther-l California. On this
occasion, however, he was unable TO
make more than half a mile a day.
This lack of pep in the speed OF
the big machine. however. is more
than compensated for by a thrilling
fight when the dredger is converted
nto a floating fortress and which
; is up to the faction headed by Mr..
Reid to storm and capture. and by
many other unusual scenes and sit
uations is said TO be filled with
thrills. Mr.. Reid has the role OF a
dredgeman IN charge of a fiotilla or
hell diggers." Lois Wilson Is lead
ing woman and heads a capable sup
porting cast. which includes Alexan-
der Broun. Frank Leigh, Clarence
Geldart and others.

THEATRES
Mark Twain Film at Strand

NNLa
AS a special attraction. the Strand
Theatre is now showing the big, new
william Fox film version of Mark
Twain's funniest book, "a Connec-
tieut Yankee in King Arthur's
Court" -,
As readers of Mark Twain will
realize. this book offers wonderful
scope to a motion picture director,
and it is surprising that no pro-
Queer until now has undertaken TO
put in on the screen. The Fox pro-
duction is on a huge scale, bringing
out the full force of all the situa-
tons invented by Mark Twain's
fertile Imagination. and translating
for the eye all the splendor OF
medieval court life that Twain had
described in words. 1t aroused the
greatest enthusiasm at a pre-
release run in Los Angeles.
"A Connecticut Yankee is more
than funny: it conveys an argu-
ment of striking force. 1t sets out
to prove the thesis that we are as
good as our NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ers, 1t is the fashion nowadays TO
talk of the good old times;" Mark
Twain shows us just what the good
old times really were like. "A Con-
necticut Yankee" is an imaginative
masterpiece. 1t puts a modern,
shrewd, up-to-date young American
against a background of medieval
chivalry. and the humor is the result
of the sharp contrast.

cording to the time report of the en-
gineer the draw was on center at
$500 O'Clock to allow a tug and tow
10 go through. About 5:22 o'clock
the car dropped from the south end.
According to Mr.. Dewan's report the
gates were closed and all lights were
set.
Traffic was tied up as a result of
the accident. because of the fact
that the draw could not close with
the car lying in the abuttment.
Shortly after 6 o'clock when Engi-
neer Dewan arrived at the scene,
light vehicles were allowed to cross
with the draw closed almost entire
ly. In order to close the draw this
far it was necessary to reverse the
ends.

towed away by James Horton, who
conducts a repair shop in connection
with the County Bridge Garage or

necessary to force the gates to work
in the opposite direction. Potty
claims he was driving about ten
miles an hour. The gates on the
southern end of the bridge are about
two feet from the end.
On the north side of the bride the
gates are situated about fifteen feet
