HAROLD LLOYD IN
7 REELER..PALACE
safety Last" a Hurricane Of
HunOr

The location IL twelve stories above

building. two-thirds OF the way up
with n dozen pigeons roosting on his
head In Harold Lloyd. The crowd be-
low, amused hut frightened, watch
breathlcssly while the specialized
comedian continues his upward climb
overcoming the most difficult and
hilarious obstacles,
This is just one OF the impressions
you get after viewing Harold Lloyd's
seven-reel Pathe comedy Safety Last"
at the Palace theater starting Sun
day night for four days. And what n
comedy. Never has an audience
shriekad with such uncomfortable
laughter. There have been riotous
two-rcel comedies produced In the
past by master comedians, but never
before has ono been seen In seven
reels that moved at such n fast pace.
How Harold Lloyd performs his
thrill stunts In mystery. II Is GER
tain that he did them himself. for his
face is seen plainly in every hazard
Gus predicament he encounters. When
a young man attempts TO climb the
side OF a twelve story building In the
place of a real human fly and meets
hilarious trouble every foot OF the way
IN the result is a continuous run OF
u proarious laughter.
But the comedy is not all thrills
There Is real story--a delghtful
story with pretty little Mildred Davis
now Mrs. Harold Lloyd--the young
lady in the case.
AS The Boy. Harold Lloyd is at his
best. He has huge bag of new tricks
IN his sleeve and recklessness In
facing danger that is amazing. Nil
dred is sweetness personfied. Then
there is Noah Young. we'll remem-
pered as the hard boiled COB In "A
Sailor Made Man." Bill Strothers,

PROBE Of GEORGIA /
ROAD PARTMENT !
IS VOTED BY HOUSE

The house of representatives.
Thursday adopted the resolution of
Representative McMichael, of Ma
rion county, calling for a full in
vestigatien of the state highway
department. There was little oppo-
sition to the measure, the vote be-
ing 142 to 20.
Representative McMichael asked
that the resolution be Immediately
transmitted to the senate, and the
speaker directed that the request be
complied with.
Previous to the passage of the res
olution Representative MeMichael
amended it by striking out clause
referring to an indictment against
him in the Bibb superior court grow
ing out of charges he had made
against w. A. Grassland. federal
highway engineer, in various news
paper articles. Mr.. NfcMich3el
stated that he eliminated this para
graph in order to rid the resolution
Of personalities.
Investigation Invited
During the period allotted for ex-
planning their vote several members
of the house declared that the peo-
pie wanted a thorough investigation
Of the highway department, and
that the department. itself also seeks
such an investigation.
Representative DeLaPerriefe, OF
Jackson county, stated that he would
vote mo" because the house has
already passed five days at an ex-
pense to the taxpayers of more than
$4,000 in discussing the resolution,
and more time would be wasted in
the investigation.
The McMichael resolution provid-
ed for the appointment of five mem.
bers of the senate by the president
Of the senate, and ten members Of
the house by the speaker of the
house, to thoroughly investigate this
expenditures and accomplishments of
the state highway department and
to report the result of the investiga-
ton to both houses OF the general
assembly. The resolution gave this
committee power to subpoena witt
nesses and appropriated $3.50 for its
expenses
