GOOD PROGRAM AT
 LIBERTY THEATER

'Tis said Laugh and grow young and this precept is proven true by the undisputed fact that genera tion in which middle-age and old people look young, is invariably a term when everybody views life in a lighter vein and comedy is more popular than serious drama.
 Worry and care are the great agers and anything displacing them even for two hours is of a value both physically and mentally, and then there is the added value of pleasure that laughter indicates.
 Billed for tonight at the theatre 4s a long comedy feature, short slap stick comedy and a reel of clever jokes, produced for one purpose, to make you laugh.
