MUSICAL COMEDY
TREAT TOMORROW

A fine plot, novel setting, excellent
players, beautiful music, and spright-

given tomorrow at the Workers hall,
one of the most pleasing plays which
have ever been presented in Red

former effort.
Ralph Winslow, young American
reporter, is in Greenland TO report the
Vikings Day celebration for his pap
er. Previously he has become ac-
quainted with Christina Aalberg, and
they continue their romance in
Greenland.
Through the villainies of Lord Doo-
little and fellow conspirator, he
lands in JAIL and the startling, de-
nouncement which follows is the big
moment of the whole production. Be-
sides the strong plot, there are num-
erous details which lend color and
height on the enjoyment Lord Doc

quimaux funny cuttings-up, the sym
metrical Greek-like beauty of the
6klncing Moonlight Maidens, Peder

these will be of intense interest to
picture-goers.
Bob Woodrow as Ralph, Betty o.

roles, while others take the lesser
ones.-The Carbon Copy.
