EEWMEDV FEATURE IS '\= AT PALACE TONIGHT | ) o Laura LaPlante at the Pal ace tonight in “Her Big Nighi" and here is what the San Fran- cisco Chroricle reviewer said about it: “It would require four columms solid with type and numerous photographs to explain the plot of “Her Big Night,” which brought Laura LaPlante to the Granada Theatre screen as a Greater Mov- ie Season attraction. All of which goes to show how compli- cated the plot really is. “But “Her Big Night" is one of the year's funniest pictures. Talk about laughs—there are se many in this Universal farce that; it ‘would take a crew of ninety- seven men to calculate the num-; ber. on adding machines, and then they’d probably have to work} overtime. y “Perfect direction, perfect pho- tography, particularly in the double exposure “shots,” and per-|’ fect acting aid a perfect story.

CITY SEWAGE PROGRAM FOR 1928 IS UNDERWAY With a gang of 15 men work- ling, the sewage program of the il'lly for the 1928 season, has be- {gun on Main Street, where old wocden sewers are being replaced with 12-inch concrete pipe. The new sewers will extend from the iCity Hall to Seventh Street, ac- jcording to Mayor Thomas B. Jud- (son. The wooden sewers which are now being taken out were put in many years ago and much time and money has been spent in an effort to keep them in repair. Franklin Street, from Front to Second Street is the next cn the program for new sewage, and {work will begun there immed- fately after July 4th, Mayor Jud- son said. From Second Street the work will continue to Gold Street on Second and partly up Gold Street. “We were allowed $10,000 to expend On new sewers, and will acccmplish as much as possible of this much needed improve- ment, with that amount of money,” Mayor Judson declared. ‘Leon Permanent Wave, $12.50. | fern Beauty Parlor. .
