Superb Production Is
Pathe's Film Holiday

Outstanding in every respect, a
massive production with a story
which for tenseness and human in
terest has seldom been told on the
dialogue screen, and every charac-
ter played by thorough stage
artist, the Pathe picture, "Holi-
day." which; comes to the .Orphe-
UNI Theatre on Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday next, doubtless will
be acclaimed as being perhaps the
finest comedy drama of high So
ciety and wealth ever filmed.
Sophistication and smartness-
these are the terms that truly de-
scribe the charm and scintillation
that marks every scene of esHoi-
day" Set in the background of a
Fifth Avenue mansion of unlimited
wealth, a most gripping story is
developed with intelligence and
savoir faire. The brilliant dia-
logue of Philip Barry's stage sue
cess, has been retained in the
screen version almost in its entire
ty.
Five stage players of great
prominence are featured-Anr
Harding, Mary Astor,. Edward Ev-
erett Horton, Robert Ames and
Hedda Hopper.

In another column of this pa

ness Closing Out Sale, beginning

80 days.
The reason for this big sale is
as follows:
an. B. Eidsness has operated the

During that time he has gained a
reputation for honesty, square
dealing and carrying quality mer-
chandise. The new management
Theodore Hansen of Outlook will
continue the business and take

are under contract to reduce this

A careful perusal of the ad in
this issue of the Producers News
gives a good idea of the many
wonderful bargains offered, and
the Eidsness store will be no
doubt the headquarters during the
