In Sweet Daddies," Alfred A. San
tell comes across with another win
ner. You recall Classified" He di-
rected both.
NJ. c. Leyee, who produced "Sweet
Daddies" for First National, has very
definite ideas about feature comedies
And the most definite of them all is
that they be funny.
That's not as strange as II seems
when It is remembered that 1t isn't
every comedy that can be called fun
ny.
But Levee determined that "Sweet
Daddies" should be a real funny COM
edy. So the first thing that he did
was to procure a funny story and
the next to gather a cast of brilliant
comedians to act in 1t.
The story of Sweet Daddies" Is a
laugh from beginning to end. Pre-
viewed recently before a group of
hard-boiled movie executives, 1t reg
istered a laugh minute. Sweet
Daddies" is the story of a hilarious
partnership between an Irishman and
a Hebrew, plus rurn-running, snug
Cling, prohibition officers. love and a
few other things. 1t winds up with
everybody happy-and the movie-go-
ers and the exhibitor happiest of all.
Levee's cast is brilliant. Those fea-
tured in Sweet Daddies" are Charlie
Murray, famous Irish screen comic;
George Sidney, pre-eminent Hebrew
character comedian, and Vera Gordon,
the foremost woman character funster.
Sweet Daddies" will attract big
house tonight. Just suggestion:
Plan an early start.-Adv.

Improved Street
Results in Increased
Trade in Gardiner

Merchants along lower Water
street welcomed increased trade to
their places of business Saturday az
ter having been blocked up by street
construction for practically an en-
tire month. Both sides of the i'm
proved section were opened as far as
the library and then a way was
cleared for traffic to pass beyond the
Farmers Union stores. For the first
Saturday night in a month cars were
parked along the lower section and
this extra space afforded relief to the
congestion in the parking space and
up street. 1t was necessary to keep
an officer there, and also a special
officer in front of the johnson House
where piece of paving had been
ripped up, and there was only lane
for traffic. Saturday night will find
the whole section cleared and Gar
diner will find a paved business that
will equal in appearance and riding
comfort that of any in the state.
The workmen labored Sunday on
the 40-foot section at the junction of
Vine and Water streets, and this
should be completed in another day
or two. The repairing at this point
will mean the elimination of a dam
gerous lace for traffic and will add
greatly to the appearance of that
section.

KAY JAY
SPORT
CHAT

That victory by Gardiner over
Skowhegan just gives the done
bucket another healthy wallop. After
seeing the record which Skowhegan
has hung up in four games, namely
a win over Cony. a tie with the
Capers and two defeats at the hands
of Waterville and Gardiner, one can
only draw conclusions that Skowhe
gan was either very good or Cow
was very bad when the two teams
met.
Waterville. defeated them 80
at Skowhegan and Gardiner added a
21-0 verdict against them Saturday.
IL appears that the upriver team has
been slightly over rated. Another
thing which did not help the reputa-
ton of the Skowhegan team was the
fact that the two clubs which de-
teated them were not rated as having
the goods but as everything turned
out, they happen to be much stronger
than one would believe.
Bill Millett has gathered some
husky linemen to help Hersey and
Captain Pooler get away with a pass
and when this method fails, the Elm
City captain works his team near
the opponents goal and then boots
one over the posts for three points.
The fact that Millett has developed
a strong defensive team often makes
this drop kick the deciding points in
a game. BY this method he TIED
Bangor and trimmed Skowhegan and
by the passing attack he trimmed
Cony.
Cony has strong defensive team.
IL the team were not strong defen-
sively, they would have crumpled
under the whitening attack unleashed
by the powerful Winslow team, but
the Red and White is a good de-
fensive aggregation and managed to
AVOID a swapping, which the Wins
low team was quite capable of
administering, had it been given the
chance.
Incidently, Cyk mckinley has
moulded formidable aggregation
out of his Gardiner team and looks
to be on even terms with anything
in the county just at the present
time. After a bad start. Cyk has
taken the material available. de-
veloped an attack, and now appears
to be all set for the next two games.
After losing the first games on his
schedule McGinley's team annexed
three in row and will enter the
Copy game slight favorite.
That Cony game this year should
be just as thrilling as ever. Last
year Cony was trimming them right
and left and Gardiner was the under
dog. But when they went down to
Gardiner they found a rugged battle
on their hands and tho Pod ap,J
White felt very fortunate when the
fnal whistle blew and Cony had
won, 1876.
This year the Cony team will be
the underdog and every. member of
the Cony team has avowed intentions
of stopping Gardiner. Just what
the result will be is still much of
a mystery and probably a record
crowd will be present to see who is
better a week from Saturday.
