SAILOR MADE MAN A
GREAT LAUGHING HIT

"a Sailor Made Man" four reeled
comedy starring Harold Lloyd, open
ed last night at the Orpheum theatre
for three day run. The picture
proved not only to be screamingly
funny comedy, but was also one of
the cleanest scenarios ever seen in
Ottawa.
Harold Lloyd, as is usual in his
work, relied wholly upon his uneXpect-
ed actions to get his laughs, and did
not stoop to the suggestiv actions seen
in so many comedies.
"A Sailor Madel Man." told the story
of a young millionaire who loved a
beautiful girl. but whose father refus-
ed to permit him to wed until the
secured a job. More by accident than
design he joined the navy and his adj
ventures on shore and afloat kept the
packed audience in an uproar thruout
the whole play.
