Sk, Deep, has Milton 8ills and Florence Vidor in the lcading roles, Tonight concludes the local show- ing of Jackle Coogan In Daddy, his greatest dramatic triumph and a ple- ture replete with laughs, wjth here and there a tear; but withal carrying with it a story that will leave pleas- an recollections. The accompanying vaudeville bill offers monologues, song and dance artists, plano and song duets and a brilliant dancing dance- ology revue, As fine a drama as thig one is, the one starting next Monday, “The Towr That Forgot God,” is equally gond but of a different nature, It was di- rected by the same man who directed Way Down East and is in many ways a wonderful rural drama, yet is not one of those sleepy old stories. It abounds in action and when the great reservoir dam bursts and a deluge of water comes sweeping down through the valley carrying everything before it, the spectator has a photodramatic scene that will not soon be forgotten.

It shows Miss Compson as an Apache | girl of the Paris underworld. | The production to be featured the | 1ast three days of the week is Miss Viola Dana in “A Noise in Newboro,” | and is a picture that was written es-| pecially for this star.
