ton at the Circle will be opened by
Will H. Hays, president Of the Mo-
ton Picture Producers and Distribu-
tors of Ar9Erica.

lin are featured in ''McFadden' s
Flats" the former in the role of Dan
: McFaddan, q hodcarrying Irishman,
and Conl6lin as penurious Scotch
barber, his friendly enemy.
These two spend their lives wrangl-
ing with each other, though they are
devoted friends.
McFa1den is about to realize the
ambition of his life, which has been
to own an apartment building bear
ing his name, when the bank recalls
the loan which has made the building
possible. Though Jock and Sandy
are sworn enemies at this time, Jock
goes to the banker and secretly fl
nances the completion of the con;
struction work.
The sudden acquisition of prosper
ity has the usual reaction, and Mrs.
McFarran insists that their daugh-
ter, Mary Ellen, in love with Jock
son, Sandy, be sent away to school,
from which she returns with ideas
far superior to those of her father
and mother, and has little time or
regard for Sandy.
How Dan finds out that Sandy has
been his good friend through two
close approaches to bankruptcy and
how Dan forms a partnership which
ensures their future security and
the happiness of young Sandy and
Mary Ellen, is told in this delightful

Closed to Public.

BY the ssociated Press.
DETROIT, April 5.-The Ford Mo-
tor Co in the future will confine its
grocery and merchandising business
to employees of the Ford organization.
This announcement was made here
last night by G.. n. Staples, general
manager of he Ford commissaries. at
a protest meeting called by the Michi-
gan Retail Grocers' Association.
Whether the decision resulted from
pressure being brought to bear against
the Ford Co. by retail dealers vas not
revealed. Mr. Staples, in his state
ment, declared the action resulted
from the company's inability to handle
the side line business.
1--WE are going to close the business
to the public because the business
has grown too big for us to handle,
Mr.. Staples declared. 1--WE hope to
work out a scheme in a few days
whereby we will confine sales to Ford
employees only hereafter.
Greeted With Cheers.

more than 1000 members of the as
sociation, was greeted with wild cheer
ing, and the committee in charge inn

the Ford official.
It was agreed that a committee of
the retailers will wait on the Ford
officials Wednesday, when final plans
of an agreement will be drawn up.
Prior to Mr.. Staples announcement
the Ford organization had been con-
demned as attempting to drive the
retail grocers of the country our of
business. There was no mention on
the floor, however, of the boycott
against wholesalers dealing with Ford
or using Ford Motor Co. products, and
after the meeting f. D. Padberg. a
committeeman, said the Michigan asso-
citation was not the force behind the
boycott.
Attacks COmmissary System.
David A. Brown, president of a To-
cal grocer supply house, opened the
meeting with an attack on the Ford
commissary system, which, he said,
threatened a billion-dollar investment
of local retail merchants.
