WIN production of 'The Penalty"

Rose" All the other leading parts
are filed by such sterling players
as Leatrice Joy, Betty Schade,
Edythe Chapman, John Bowers, Cui-
len Lands, Maurice B.. Flynn and
Richard Tucker. Wallace Worsley
directed the picture.
Someone at the Hal Roach studio
got to wondering if there was any
thing Harold Lloyd couldn't do. so
they checked off a few things they
could think of that he a do.
Lloyd, who comes to the Ditmas
today in "A Sailor-Made Man." is an
all around athlete, this including
everything in a gymnasium. He can
do everything in or under water.
His mastery OF fifty sleight-of-hand
tricks would put him in the pro-
fessional class. His mind reading
test alone has netted thousands of
dollars at benefits.
As a soft shoe dancer he could
take the vaudeville stage and could
appear in higher priced houses with
his fancy dancing. He is a shark
of a chess player, a fine mathmati-
clan, his wide knowledge of piano
and violin art, interior decorating,
landscape gardening and many kim
bred subjects.

The Howe Rubber Company bas-
ketball team of New Brunswick
failed to put in an appearance on
Coughlin's Auditorium court in
Roosevelt last night to play the
scheduled game with the Roosevelt
Separates, and Manager Jerome
Jacobowitz of the borough repre-
sentative outfit was forced to organ
ize a team under the name of County
Stars SO as not to disappoint his
crowd. The Separates we're success
full in winning this game after a
hard fought tussle. The final score
was 34-19.
Although the Stars were organ-
lied in rapid fashion, the fans were
well satisfied with the contest. Sohl
of the Michelin Tire Company team
of Midtown and Lynch of the Red
Stars of New Brunswick occupied
the forward positions; Maleski of
the South River Sterlings jumped
center, and Brownmiller of the
Perth Amboy Speedways and Walk
err of Railway occupied the guard
positions. Maleski was the only
regular member of the Howe Rub
Der team.
Throughout the initial period the
going was nip and tuck, the score
at half time was 1879. In the Sec
ond half the home boys drew away
from the opposition. Brownmiller

for the Stars, these two players con-

A benefit performance was being
arranged for the late r. w. Pei

was widely known in his day as the
man who introduced darkey imper-
~sonations as speciaities between the
acts of legitimate performances.
While plans for the benefit were
in the forming, it was suggested that
by way of a novelty the various ac-
tors famed for their black-face spec
ialties. who had always appeared in
''single turns" should be grouped
in one big act. working together as
a whole III singing and dancing num-
bers as well as giving individual
