Sir-AS patriotic PiIladolphian I
want TO express my fervent hope that
nothing will happen t" prevent our
holding the great fair here in 1925. We

A double bill of pictures will usher
in the week. Corrinne Griffith will
appear in Island Wives" an exotic
tale of the south seas written in
novel form, by Bob Dexter. This pro-
duction opens with a reproduction of
a tropical storm, said to be one OF
the most spectacular ever presented
on the screen. The storm at sea and
the following scenes in San Francisco,
are not only a difficult test for Miss
Griffith's ability as an actress but
give her ample opportunity to display
some wonderful gowns. The play re-
quireS the services of two leading.
men and they are Rockliffe Fellows
and Charles Trowbridge. Sharing
equal honors with the Griffith picture
is a comedy by Larry Semon. Larry
has recently become dippy over golf
and that is the title he has given this
comedy, which abounds with all the
amusing golf stunts Larry could de-
wise or hear of. 1t is a laugh maker
all followers of Pasture PooP' will
appreciate and all others enjoy every
minute. The scenes of the burning
of Smyrna, taken by Pathe and recog-
scoops" of the year will be shown
both the first and last halves of the
week
Following the new policy at the
Grand, to show really big pictures
following the appearance of a road
oAOW COIIlpdHy mere an uuuSudl OIL
fering will finish the week, running
three days, starting Thursday, Friday
and Saturday. Devotees of the screen
who adore Mae Murray and the others
who simply must see Rodolf," will
have thier tastes satisfied in one pic
ture, as Delicious Little DeyiP' is
the offering for the three days. Both
Mae and Rodolf are in this picture,
starred opposite one another. In adj
dition, there is William Mong, who
made such a reputation as Merlin"
in THE Connecticut Yankee" Mae
gets all the chance she needs to show
wonderful gowns and her ability as
dancer while Rodolf again appears
as an ardent lover, a combination any
film fan should appreciate. AS "a
story it is every bit as good as pea
cock Alley" telling of the rise and
success of a little Irish girl (Mae),
who finds love and adventure when
she impersonates a famous cabaret
entertainer. To tell more would be to
spoil the picture for those who like
a thrilling surprise.
With THE Delicious Little Devil'
will be shown a comedy of the gayety
series filled with laughs and just
fitted to the Murray production. 1t is
called Naughty Naughty Mary and
that should be telling enough about
it. Another edition of the Pathe News
will be added.
