The new circuit having un- der_their_control fifty consecutive ‘week of work, opening at Eau Claire, \Wis., thru Brainerd, Bemidji, Inter- national Falls, to Brandon and Cal- gary, Canada, ‘and from there to the | west coast, and back to Chicago, via the southern states, is especially at: tractive to the best talent, on ac- count of the long engagement and short jumps, which in itself is assur- ance that better acts will appear on each program. Another out standing feature, is that each and every show travels intact as a “Road Show” from Chicago, around the circuit and back. The first program, for Friday, De- cember 10th, includes two men, billed as “Whistlers from Birdland”; A “Novelty Girl”; Grace and Sd. Mc- ‘Connel in “Fun at the Piano,” and ‘the-*Saxaphone Four,” four girls in sixaphone solos, duets and quar- tettes. ROMANCE AND THRILLS “Under Northern Lights,” the thril- ling tale of the Canpdian woods, Deing shown at the Grand theatre to- night only, gives local theatregoers the first chance to admire the work of Virginia Faire, who was adjudgec the winner in last year's Fame and Fortune contest held in New York city. Everyone seemed to agree that the. judges made no mistake in se- lecting this young girl who, besides youth, seems to possess beauty, tal- ent and intelligence. There has al- ‘ways been a halo of romance about that. famous Canadian organization of ‘guardians of the law known as the ‘Royal Northwest Mounted Police, and these characters have often been used to advantage on the screen. But they Were ever shown in a more interesting light than in “Under Northern Lights.” LLOYD'S MIRTHQUAKE So great. was the commendation by. the public of the series of two- reel Harold Lloyd comedies, of which ‘,An Eastern Westerner” was the last, that ‘Hal E. Roach, their pro- ducer, has decided to make the new series for Pathe such a corking good one -that they will deserve the title of Mirthquake Specials. ‘“Higl and Dizzy" is the first Harold Lloy: mirthquake, and it is scheduled for the Grand theatre tomorrow, .and Sunday. D -1t 'is especially recommended as a ‘wonderfully amusing comedy for it's a Lloyd, and he who Lloyd’s, laughs dong, for Lloyd's laughs last. : ;Harry CCarey in “West is West” will be shown on the same program. BARNUM’S SAYING STANDS .+ EXEMPLIFIED IN “JAILBIRD” ‘The truth of P. T.

Clancy's deal takes a most unexpected turn which greatly multiplies his fortune, and gains for him the respect and admir- ation of the whole town, as well as the girl who will rid him of all ten- dencies to put over crooked deals in the future. .

A year lat- er in London he marries a wealthy girl, but it is a loveless match.

And bit by bit, under the incubus of soul de- stroying habit, and the gyves of drug addition, he fights his way back to the clean world of clean men..
