- - "CONNECTICUT YANKEE"
 COMING TO COLISEUM

As a reissue attraction, the Coliseum Theatre will show, be- ginning Thursday, the big William Fox film version of Mark Twain's funniest book, "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court"
 As readers of Mark Twain will realize, this book offers wonderful scope to motion picture director, and it is surprising that no pro ducer until now has undertaken to put 1t on the screen. The Fox production is on a huge scale, bringing out the full force of all the situations invented by Mark Twain's fertile imagination, and translating for the eye all the splendor of medieval court life that Twain had described in words. It aroused the greatest enthusiasm at pre-release run in Los Angeles.
 "A Connecticut Yankee" is more than funny; it conveys an argu- ment of striking force. It sets out to prove the thesis that we are as good as our greatgreat-grand- fathers. It is the fashion nowa- days to talk of the "good old times; Mark Twain shows us just what the good old times really were like. "A Connecticut Yankee" is an imaginative master piece. It puts modern, shrewd, upto-date young American against a background of medieval chivalry and the humor is the result of the sharp contrast.

"THE ROAD TO GLORY"
 AT COLISEUM TONIGHT

May McAvoy gives the finest dramatic performance of her ca reer in "The Road to Glory" Fox Films version of Howard Hawks fine original story, which comes to the Coliseum tonight for a two day run. Fortified with a superL dramatic story and role tha runs the gamut of emotions, this sterling little actress adds new laurels to an already fine list O. screen achievements.
 "The Road to Glory" is an orig inal story by Howard Hawks, who also directed the picture. It deals dramatically with the part Chance plays in human lives and tells the experiences of Judith Allen played by Miss McAvoy, whom Chance topples from the pedestal of youthful ecstacy to grim de spair.
 By Chance, Judith's father is killed; by Chance the girl goes blind and then, with her faith lost, she drives away her youthful sweetheart and turns to the fast life in defiance of man and God.
 In addition to Miss McAyoy's fine performance, there is equally fine work by great supporting cast. Leslie Fenton, whose work in Havoc" brought him to the fore in cinema drama, plays the boy. Ford Sterling, that always excellent actor, is seen as the father. Rockliffe Fellowes is the sort of villain you will sympathize with. Others in the cast are Milla DaYenport and John McSweeney.

DIVORCE TRIAL
 CAUSES FAINT

LOS ANGELES, April 24-Flora Nave Leitch found the excitement of the divorce court too much for her nerves. She tainted four times in the trial of her suit against Harry J. Leitch, local financial man.
 Mrs. Leitch brought the suit on the ground of cruelty. and Leitch cpuntered with cross-complaint, charging his wife with having as soclated with other men.
 When on the witness stand, Mrs. Leitch swooned, and twice in the courtroom during the hearing, and once in the judges chambers, she became unconscious.
 After she had recovered from the strenuous legal battle, she found that her husband had won the decree of divorce, but that she had won the custody of her child, with $30 month to support it.

LORTON, Va, November 15.-Fairfax
County Chamber of Commerce, meet

ner at Annandale in December. Under

gram to follow the dinner will be IN
charge of Capt. White and Mrs. E. D.

DIR. william P. Cation, chairman Of
the chambers committee on public
health and sanitation, outlined the move
to obtain a Public Health Service nurse
for Fairfax County and available sources
of revenue to meet the cost, approXi-
mately $4,000 year. AS no funds would
be available from county sources, the
necessary money would have to be
raised from State help, private sub
ScriptionS, Red Cross, money and the
proceeds of the sale of tuberculosis seals
at Christmas time. Last years sale in
Fairfax County amounted to 81, 100, Of
WHICH CLl6 county EeC6lV6u 40 per CeIlb.
If nurse were obtained this percentage
would increase to SIS per cent. DR.. Cation
stated that regulation State unit, con-
Sisting of a full-time health doctor,
nurse, sanitary officer and part-time
clerk, costing $4,000 year, might be
a probability for Fairfax County, mas
much as the State will pay one-half
this cost during the first year and the
county already pays over $4,000 for the
expenses of a sanitary engineer and
school physician. The difference might
easily be made up from the county's
share of Red Cross subscriptions this
month and the Christmas seal sales. DR..
Cation was instructed to communicate
Immediately with DR.. Ennion Williams
of the State Department of Health to
ascertain whether such unit can be
financed for Fairfax County next year.

He argued that the lack Of freedom
