Ly ROLD LLOYD COMEDY CREATES A SENSATION - Showing for the last time tonight ‘at the Grand theater, the comedy in ‘three parts, “Among Those Present,” ‘eaturing Harold Lloyd, caused an nusual amount of merriment when hown for the first time yesterday. ntaneous and _ uncontrollable ghter, tears, and aching sides Were a common occurrence and the owd who saw it, left the the- '+ “Among Those Present” introduces " Lloyd as a dapper young hotel “but- ons” anxious to be as “swell” as the entlemen who leave their coats in is safekeepng in the check room. He is hired to masquerade as Lord Abernathy, thinking it only a joke, " and many of the laughs are caused by his efforts to live up to the titled one’s reputation as a hunter and horseman. © When Lloyd finds he has been used as a dupe in a plot to relieve the papa of the girl he loves of some of his re- . cently earned, dollars, he puts a neat | Jittle spoke in the villain’s wheel, and " Drings the picture to a close with a typical Harold Lloyd touch. LESSON FOR LIARS IN “A PERFECT CRIME” Have you ever had an uncontroll- able desire to lie—to lie mganificent- ly so as to impress some one with your importance? Have you ever had the desire to pretend to some one that you're a dashing hero or a so- ciety belle when as a matter of fact you are nothing of the sort? Have you ever felt that ift you could at- tract some one's attention you could hold it—and have you ever had the desire to lie to do it? On the assumption that you will answer all of these questions in the affirmative, Allan Dwan has produced “A Perfect Crime,” a comedy drama, as his second Associated Producer’s release, based on the desirability and even importance of lying in an in- telligent way. The picture comes to the Grand theater on Tuesday and Wednesday. Monte Blue has the role of Waliy Griggs, a timid bank messenger whom every one despises for his stupidity. Suddenly Wally, the worm, turns. He begins to lie. He tells megnificent and thrilling yarns about things which never happened on land or sea. His ridiculous yarns are published and he wins a beautiful girl who had ignored him in his honest days. # There is a little sister in the story, . too, and it was she who first started him on an adventure of spinning lies by wholesale. The story is as pa- i thetie in spots as it is amusing in ~.others. Jacqueline Logan, a former Ziegfeld girl, plays the leading fem- . inine role, while Stanton Heck and Hardee Kirkland are also in the cast.| Pathe News, a “Snub” Pollard | . “eomedy, and golf in slow motion pho- | . tography compicte an unusual pro-| grram, " “TO A FINISH” AT THE REX LAST TIME TODAY "NEWS OF THE THEATRES .

Tom, Owen and Mat, is starred with Eileen Sedgwick in “The i Rider,” a five-reel production which ‘comes to the Rex theater on Wed- nesday of this week for two days. The scenes of this picture are laid in the mining camps of the South- i i few days’ stay, and meecting Jewel Brand, the daughter of a prospector, falls in love with her. He continues to live there indefinitely There is an- other character, a mysterious person known as the “White Rider,” who hovers on the outskirts of the camp, for what purpose ‘no one knows. There is a mining superintendent in collusion with a registrar of deeds, who attempts to defraud Joel Brand of his claim, and by fastening a crime upon Joel Brand, forces him to give @ his daughter’s hand in marriage to! .

The suspense and _ thrills, the love interest, the human emotions, run the dramatic gamut s npd give to “The White Rider” a par- ticular fascination that should make it most inviting to the patrons of the Rex theater when it is shown in this city. : “MOONLIGHT FOLLIES” AT ' .

In order to prove that his stories, although improbable, are not impossible he makes a wager that he can live one of them. In fulfilling the requirements of the bet, the hero has many strange and startling ad- ventures as well as a love affair that will hold the interest of the average picture patron. Elinor Fair, a well known screen actress plays opposite the star and does excellent work as the little he- roine. She is one of the prettiest of the new ingenues and shows more than the usual dramatic ability. THE OLD FROT“JTH':R.

SICK PEAELTS CAN NOW EE CURED BY OPERATION By John O’Brien (United 'Press Staff Correspondent) Pa QOct. 17.—Milady, who owns a string of costly pearls, is often worried when her gems appear to be | lacking in lustre. Don't worry, milady. | All they need is a trip to the beauty | parlor. There your pearls will be mas- | saged back into perfect health. | Society women in Paris have been greatly perturbed of late by reports | that perfumes and powders eat away the “life” of pearls. Ii is a fact that certain perfumes have a deleterious effect on the gems, but, according to the pearl specialists of Paris, the remedy is easy. Leonard Rosenthal, the forefront of these experts, explained the nature of the “disease” and the ‘“‘cure.” “A pearl,” he said, “is a composi- tion. It consicts of thousands of con- centric enveiopes formed within the | oyster. The outer envelope may be| affected by the acidity of the wear-| er’s skin, by dust or differences in temperature. All powders acid. After several years this imper- ceptibly burrows under the outer en- velope and the pearl loses its lustre. | All that is needed for the restoration jof the lustre is'the removal of the outer envelope and repolishing .with | a special powder, the composition of which is a secret of the trade. All I can say is that powdered rubies enter into its makeup. “The removal of the pearl’s skin is a delicate operation. It is done by a specialist. He works in a way simi- lar to that of the ‘beauty specialists’ who, before making over a wrinkled ! face. remove“the worn-out cpider-‘. mis.” i GIBBONS-’DOWD MATCH- MAKERS ARE ARRESTED (By United Press) Wichita, Kansas, Oct. 17.—The | boxers, officials:- and all promoters | connected with the Gibbons-0’Dowd | middleweight boxing match, sched- uled to be held here Tuesday night, were placed under arrest today on in- | structions from Attorney General | Horgyns, charging them with violat- ing the state boxing law. | Mike Gibbons and Mike O’Dowd are technically charged with training and preparing for the match.
