What Vitaphone can do to add entertainment to a first rate com- cdy-drama was aptly demonstrated in “Two Weeks Off.” Here is a splendid story made into a clever picture with hilarious dialogue and sound effects that add tremendou ¥ to its universal amusement quali- ties. There is no slowing of action in “Two Weeks Off,” the dialogue is just as speedy as the story and that includes no dull moments. Mul- hall and Mackaill in combination never fail to amuse and this time ihey click at a new and accelerated rate. The audience opening night didn’t just enjoy it, they loved it. S sted by the title, the centers around a summer va- cation and its accompanying ro- mance. Dorothy Mackaill, a clerk and Jack Mulhall, a plumber, go to the seashore for a good,time, even as you and I. ‘They meet and fall in love but Jack is mistaken for a motion picture actor and the plot semersaults on itself, leaving s Junny a mixup as has ever been pictured.

She Finds a Lasfing Place in History On January 1st, 1752, in the city of Philadelphia was born a baby girl who was destined to play a part in the history of our country which time cannot efface. On that day was born Betsy Ross, who plied her needle unceasingly for George Wash- inton’s troops and for the Father of our country himself. with the work of making the wonderful flag with its thirteen stripes and circlet of stars, the first flag of freedom of the United States (left).

(Upper right) Betsy Ross, (lower) Betsy Ross presenting the flag to the Commander-in-Chief of the Revolutionary Army. IBERTY, happiness, prosperity, all these wonderful things that we take for granted are symbolized best by our national flag, affec- tionately known as “Old Glory.” And it-does not take much imag- ination to visualize how much the designing and making of that flag meant to the band of men in whose hands lay the destinies of an in- dependent people determined to found a country, rather than be a colony. It is very approgriate. therefore, that tke woman who made our first flag, should have been born on January 1. For, New Year’s Day, 1752, was the birthday of Betsy Ross, the first needlewoman of our country.

Koss, young, bright, and very shrewd, ran a very prosperous upholstery busi- ness on Arch street, below Third, in Philadelphia. She was the widow of John Ross, nephew of Colonel George Ross, who was one of the committee appointed by Congress in June, 1776, to design a suitable flag for the nation. G’ern;rge Wash- ington, who was one of the com- mittee, had frequently ecalled on Mrs. Ross to embroider his shirt ruffles and do other needlework for him, and so it was to her that he turned for advice about the flag, how it should be made, so that it conformed to the rough drawing that had already been made embodying the ideas of the committee.
