OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Bills"

Clever comedy again is Raymond
Grifith's Offering in wedding Bills"
the current attraction at LoeW's CO.
lumbia.
Griffith quite upholds the standard
of his previous successes in the role
Of a big-hearted lad always ready to
help at weddings in the best man
role--that is, until Miss Right comes
along, and then the fun begins. The
green-eyed monster comes, too, to
spoil the fun, when Griffith, in his
AIgy role, lets his big-heartedness go
too far, and there is trouble. A $4,000
necklace is the medium Of the trouble,
and that trouble consists, as is usual
in most comedies of this day and age,
of a, chase-of a different sort, how
ever. There are automobile races on
mountain sides, 20-story building &C.
robatics and the whole gamut OF hair
raising, breath-taking affairs.
Griffith. in this piece has excellent
support from his leading lady. Ann
Sheridan. Iris Stuart and Haliam
Cooley are others in the cast whose
work deserves praise.
1.-THE Drawback" college root pail
comedy; the Pathe newsreel, the Co

complications when he meets girl

study develops the maximum amount
of initiative. and is similar to that
in use in high schools and colleges.
Each pupil collects material on his

in which material found is listed,

subject are pasted.
When the pupils feel they are pre-

teacher and later are called on to
give a report of their findings. Their
notebooks are also submitted. and
later a general test is given by the
