Cross Roads
Lets Out the

OF Violence in
The Skull
by HARRY MACARTHUR.


1t would be only fair of the Cross
Roads Theater to emblazon above It's
portals this fortnight the warning
abandon hope all ye who enter
here" Strange and wondrous In
deed are the goings-on on the stage,
and even In other parts of the
theater on some occasions. You see,
1t really isn't theater at all. but
An old deserted church, abandoned
not only by It's worshippers, but by
God, according TO the story told US
by Bernard J. McOwen and Harry
E. Humphrey. Deserted, abandoned,
1t may be, but it Is far from empty.
1t Is Inhabited by the shades of the
departed, people under the influence
Of the shades Of the departed, people
with desire TO talk to the shades
OF the departed, representatives of
Scotland Yard, a young fellow look
ing for jewels that he may clear

In all the world. 1t is not empty,
this old abandoned church, nor is

ably can count yourself better in

This IA something to frighten you
gayly out Of your wits and give you
the time Of your life while doing it.

green light appear to chant chilis
up and down your spine. There's
even y coffin mot remaining un-
inhabited.
The people of the Cross Roads
perform all their strenuous and
startling deeds just enough more
seriously than they hope you will
accept it that it becomes q riot.
Best OF the lot is Gordon Gray,
whose portrait of q frightened young
newspaperman Is comedy high
light In show that's a roar of fun
anyway. And this is not to say that
such folk as Rose Edmonds, Ted
Field, Robert Langley, Rand Gard

1T HAPPENS EVERY YEAR

With the advent of cold weather the
newspapers will begin printing stories,
telling about the death of automobiles
from carbon monoxide gas.
Motor vehicle officials in many states
are about to issue their annual warning to
motorists, calling their attention to the
danger that turks around defective ex-
haust systems. 1t has been estimated that
five per cent of the ears on the road con-
tain dangerous concentration of gas.
1t is recommended that motorists keep
a window of the car partly down, even on
cold days, as a precaution. Of course,
there are some drivers who will profit by
the advice. There are others who will
ignore it. Most of them will get by but
some of them will be found dead in their
automobiles before the Winter is over
