POPULAR ARTIST
HAS SAUCY ROLE
in 'CLASSIFI Ed

a new Corinne Griffith-an
amazingly saucy creature, with
pep and impudence fairly exuding
from every pore!
The stately and demure and essen
tally cultivated personality known
as Corrine Griffith on the screen has
such transformation. And
If wondering admirers who read
these lines still doubt, let them go
to the Valley theater tonight and see
for themselves. Which they un-
doubtedly will do in any ease.
Miss Griffith s complete change
of personality is accomplished in
new June Mathis adoption of an
Edna Ferber story, Classified -
which comes to the screen from First
National.
In 1t she portrays n sophisticated
yet sentimentally inclined flapper
type. She brings to the screen for
the first time to our knowledge the
want ad girl of the daily newspaper.
The realism of Miss Griffith's work
IN this new direction is a revelation
and represents another triumph for
one of the screens most versatile
actresses.
Jack Mulhall ably supports Miss
Griffith, and others who contribute
striking characterizations are Ward
crane, Charles Murray, Edythe
Chapman, Carroll Nye, George Sid
ney, Bernard Randall and Jacque-
line Wells.

IN BORDER GAME

Stevc's Ell Centre team took a
walloping at Calexico yesterday

40 years labor of John Elliott in
translating the Bible for the Amer
lean Indian.
