Hubert Skip" Merrick of this
city is at the present time undergo
ing electrical treatment at the Au-
gusta General hospital in an effort
to cure badly injured knee, which
he sustained while in football prac-
tice the first of the season. Skip,
who would have been ineligible to
play with Cony High school, signi-
fled his willingness to go cut for
practice just the same and to work
out with the second team and to
assist the green players to learn the
rudiments of the game. He had
been out with the squad but twice,
when, in showing one Of the boys
how to take his opponent out of the
line, he allowed the new man to
try the play. AS the other crashed
against him he slipped and fell in
such way that his knee was in
iured and since that time he has
been obliged to remain away from
school. He will be in the hospital
for several days and it is hoped that
the treatment may prove very eff
fective.

There have flickered recently
from two downtown Capital

Crandall's Central-two Valentino
hits-"The Son of the Sheik. -
his last picture of all, at the Co
lumbia, and. "The Sheik," to which
the first picture is a sequel, at
the Central.
Both "The sheik" and 1.-THE
Son of the Sheik" have finished
their runs-though obviously only
for time-and as 1.-THE Son of
the Sheik" goes off the Columbia
screen tonight at IL o'clock, a
new Valentino picture, his first
hit of all, will flash up at Loew's
Palace tomorrow Afternoon as that
theater presents 1.-THE Four Horse
men of the Apocalypse" in
in which Valentino first en-
thralled the hearts Of the fem
mime population.

These pictures, however, are
not all that remain for revival
hereabout. Famous Players
Lasky, for all its legal battling
with the late sheik, owns at least
three in THE Sheik," Blood and
Sand" and Monsieur Beaucaire,"
only one of which has been re-
issued since the great lovers
passing.
United Artists, which released
the last three Valentino pictures
of all--"Cobra, 1.-The Eagle" and
1.-THE Son of the Sheik," is proba-
bly, reaching out, at this very
moment, for a first-run theater
at which to present the first two
named, and before snow flies, it
is more than likely that Valen-
tino will have dominated the
Washington and the national
screen to an extent of which
neither he nor his producer proba-
bly, ever fondly dreamed.

the Theater Madeleine this time
in place of the Theater Femina,

has spent a fortune on fresh
scenery and l., costumes for the
new acts and in recruiting his

The so-calIed wonder films were
