LA ROCQUE FILM _ | COMING TO PALACE o Here's a new one—"a laughing knockout!” According to the Dej| Mille Pictures Corporation, Rod La- | Rocque's new star picture, “The Cruise of the Jasper B,” which will be shown at the Palace theatre next Thursday, is emphatically a “laugh- ing knockout.” Don Marquis is the author of the story, which has appeared in novel form; Zelda Sears and Tay Gar- nett are responsible for the adap- tation, and Bertram Millhauser, who supervised the production, said dur-] ing the filming operation: “The Four Footed Ranger” is the other feature to be shown and fur- nishes a good vehicle for “Dyna- mite,” the famous canine star. This | wonder dog is ably supported by| Edmund Cobb in building up one of the most thrilling screen dramas shown here in some time, and of- fers better than the average enter- | tainment for the majority of local movie fans. r]- “FRECKLES” IS SOON | COMING TO COLISEUM F As more than 2,000,000 copies of the book have been circulated in the United States, nearly everyone is familiar with Gene Stratton- Porter’s famous story, “Freckles,” the screen version of which, made at FBO under the direction of Leo Meehan, is coming to the Coliseum. As publishers compute that at least five persons ready every copy | of a book, taking into account those | in libraries and large families, at least 10,000,000 have read “Freckles.” Dealing with the adventures of a one-armed orphan boy set to guard a valuable piece of forest, the Limberlost, “Freckles” is a simple and charming tale of love, loyalty, and courage. John Fox, Jr., of “Covered Wag- on” fame, plays the title role, and opposite him plays Gene Stratton, grand-daughter of the famous au- thoress. Others of the cast in- clude Hobard Bosworth, who made the first picture filmed in Los An- geles; Billy Scott, Lafe McKee, and Frankie Darro, 8 year old player. ——————— MUSICAL CONCERT Charles Wakefield Cadman, as- sisted by Florence Beeler, April 8, Palace Theatre.

LARGE ATTENDANCE MISSION SERVICE A crowd, which filled the Catholic church to capacity, attended the lecture of Father Leahy last night. The congregation was made up of both Catholics and non-Catholics who listened attentively to his stir- ring talk on “Death and the Judg- ment.” “Honesty with ourselves and the importance of thorough examina- tions of conscience” were empha- | sized by the Rev. Leahy in the dra- matic sermon which he gave on the third night of the mission he is conducting this week. ‘The topic for tonight is “Christ’s Threat.” S eee NOTICE OF SAILING From Seattle thc Motor Ship “OREGON” will sail for Juneau For freight and passenger rates call Agent Femmer, Téle- P phone 114.

Several Changes Made Several changes were made the text books used in the elemen- tary schools, in arithmetic, civics, and history. The Progressive Arith- metic Series, published by Ginn .nm{ Company, which is now used in grades from 3 to 8, will be re- placed by the Triangle Arithmetics published by the John C. Winston { company. | Elementary Community Civics, |by Hughes, the book now used in eighth grade civics, is replaced by Citizenship Through Problems, iby Dondineau and Edmonson. The Commission alsv adopted the pupils’ {work book accompanying this text.| | The Gordy series of histories used in the fourth, fifth and |grades, published by Charles Ser {ners Sons, is replaced with a series published by the Macmillan com- | pany. { Health Readers In other subjects the text books to be used in the elementary ischools will be the same now in use, with the exception that sev- in |now used will be dropped from use jand other supplementary readers substituted. Among the list of readers adopted is a series of health readers for use in Grades, 1, 2, 3 and 4. These will take the place lof oral work in hygiene, previously presented by teachers without the juse of a text book in the hands of the pupils. | e Girl “Trouble Clerk” Counts on Her Smile REVERE, Mass, March 27.—Go- ling, perhaps, on the principle that “a soft answer turneth away |wrath,” the Mayor of Revere has |just appointed as official ‘“com- plaint clerk” a young woman with }a charming voice and a persuasive smile. She is Louise Terminello, 19, but with two years of office experience behind her and poise and dignity beyond her years. The number of persons whko call daily at the City Hall to see the Mayor “personally” is incredible, according to veteran employees. And there are any number who |have grievances, legitimate or im- aginary, about everything from ash or garbage collection to erroneous tax bills.
