A MAN, NOT A BIRD
^ Due to a typographical error yes
terday the Signal Corps operator from
Nome was referred to as Mr. Pidgeon.
The linotype operator thought he car
ried his mess-ages thru the air instead
of sending. His name isi Fidgeon and
he doesn’t seem in any hurry to
change it.

“THE RUNAWAY" LIKED j
BY CKITY CROWDS
]
—
i
One of the most refreshing pieces
of screen entertainment offered this i
season is at the Liberty theatre. It !
is William de Mille’s “The Runaway”, I
which o<pens tonight.
Laid in the Kentucky mountains,
there isn’t a single revenue officer «r ;
bloodhound in the entire production, j
In their place is a strong, sparkling j
drama, contracting the back-country ;
■ people and their way of living with
I the modern jazz day habits and cus- i
toms of a pair of New Yorkers, a flap. !
per movie actress and a wealthy
young man.
As the only girl in the picture, Clara
Bow gives one of the best of the many I
fine protrayals to her credit since
she entered motion pictures three
years ago. Fleeing to the Kentucky
hills following the mysterious shoot
ing of William Powell in the room of
a Tennessee city ihotel, with all cir
cumstantial evidence pointing toward !
her, Miss Bow seeks refuge in the j
mountain home of Warner Baxter and !
his mother, Edythe Chapman.
| The stern mountain folk look upon
Clara Bow as a “painted woman” and
demand that Baxter cast her out.
With the clan fever at its height Wil
liam Powel, the “dead” man, appears
and makes it clear he intends to “get”
the person he believes guilty.
The element of suspense is wrell
carried while the humor and subtle
touches that are always in evidence
in all William de Mille productions
are to be found in “The Runaway”.
A full share of credit for the success
of the picture belongs to George Ban
croft, who protrays the role of a clan
leader. He is just as good as he wrns
in “Driven” and “The Pony Express.” «

The reason there has been no "Dots

aid “Cannon Ball” Baker cut his good
typewriter finger—the one on his

then again he might have burnt it
playing the machine too fast.
