In The Theatres
EMPIRE

During the war one of the most popular songs ran like this: "If he can fight like he can love- goodnight Germany" This sentiment applies perfectly to Dennis O'Neil1, the young hero of "The Man With Two Moth ers," a Goldwyn picture which will be seen at Empire theatre today. Dennis (played by Cullen Landis) is a young Irish man who is equally at home with the blarney or with his two fists. It is an action picture, largely comedy, with a strong heart appeal running through it. Mary Alden, whose work in ''The Old Nest has ma de her niche in screen fame sure, is seen as the real mother and contributes an- other splendid piece of acting.

Ing. Bass fishing is on up-river with
good prospect of clear water In
the vicinity of Washington which will
furnish an opportunity for one or
two day trips. Mad toms are the best
bait. especially for long trips, but
crawfish and smelt will bring re-
suits. IL you elect to take smelt use
plenty of ice and don't be afraid to
put a piece right into the bucket.
Mayfiies make an excellent bait
for sunfish. They are frequently
found on the leaves and shrubbery
along streams. When used in clear
water they prove a most enticing
bait to any small fish.
