hesitates. Jarvis is a witness of

New Britain herald., 1923-04-07

The action surrounded Hottentot, a race horse, and the big scenes occur at the sensational steeplechase races. In order to get the moving picture rights for this drama, Thomas Ince had to separate Himself from BLOOD cold American dollars--but the laughs the picture produces and the corres- bonding drawing power that it is more than makes it worth while.
 In addition to the feature pictures, F'ox's shows the very latest news reels, bringing world events right to New Britain, and the series of Baby Peggy comedies also is being shown.
 One of the great pictures that soon is to be shown at FoX's is Jackie Coogan latest and best, Daddy. It is hailed by all critics as even better than Oliver Twist and shows the child star at what undoubtedly is really the apex of his career as juvenile lead.
