You will never miss the time any
more than you will if you vent re up

good strong show on tap. One of the
boosting kind. Mr. Ramon will enter

which consists of a two reel Vita
graph socal drama of the highest
class. Pathe Weekly, with the World’s
Series and war scenes is interesting
usual. Rounding up The Counter

exciting , and the two comedies are
scream without fail. Batty Bill’s
Honeymoon, and Winkev Willy and
the Fishermen, the titles are enough.
