HARDING GETS
DOG FOR XMAS
Airedale Will Be Taken to
Washington.
MARION, Ohio, Doc. 27.—Senator Hnrd-
Jng has one Christmas present he has
not soon yet. lie told about it today as
he pulled the ears of “Rags,'’ the sad
fneed Airedale terrier, “buddle” of one
of the Senator’s boy friends.
“Ton saw that fellcv.' I wished a happy
new year to, as we wa’ked down the
street?” he asked. “Well, that shows
you what the holiday spirit will do for
one. It was my firm belief that man
poisoned my dog, Jumbo. I won’t tell
you hia name, because I can’t prove that
he did it. but there are some things one
is sure of without proof.”
The Senator’s face clouded for a mo
ment. for Jumbo was an old and dear
friend who received a far more impres
sive obituary in the Marion Star than
is accorded many a national figure.
“But I am going to have anew dog,
a present from a friend, an Airedale like
‘Rags’ here. He is being broken for me
now and I am going to take him along
when wfe go South. I bear he r a great
dog,” and the Senator smiled happily in
anticipation.

' “Help Yourself” is a comedy about
which not much can be said bnt that
Madge Kennedy is the star. The plot Is
light, and rather-foolish, and does not
give Miss Kennedy a good part, but she
takes hold of some of the situations and
creates some laughs for herself. The
cast is good and her acting is good, but
the story is not good enough to merit a
star.
To be shown at Mister Smith’s all
week.
INA CLAIRE IS A DEAR
IN MOVIE VERSION OF ‘POULT.*
Polly and her “past” are now In movie
form and may be seen at the Colonial
this week. This comedy was a great
success on the stage, and this is its first
appearance on the screen. “Polly With
a Past" was seen here earlier in the sea
son on the stage.
The role of Polly is taken by Miss Ina
Claire, who was the original In the part
jn Broadway. She has brought to the
screen version all the zest and pep which
ihe displayed In the stage 'play, and
nakea Polly a living personality on the
screen.
In many ways the photoplay is better
than the play, although we miss the
spoken lines. Miss Claire’s smile is much
n evidence, and her career as a “French
•amplre” is Just as entertaining and
i musing as before.
Hiss Claire is not all the show, al
lough the main character. Her cast is
dequate and above the average In every
scene, her personality is felt She has
a freshness and charm that Is delightful
and her face la new to the screen.
The play was well adapted to the
Bcraen for at no time does the story drag,
nor is any vital part left out.
Harry Benham and Clifton Webb, as
the two chums, and Ralph Graves as
Rex Van Zile, whom they try to marry
off, are very good in their parts, and give
staple support to Miss Claire in her
match-making activities.
If you have seen the stage play, you
will enjoy the photoplay, “Polly With
a Past,” because of Ina Claire, and if
rou have not, you will enjoy the story
>f the play and the excellent work of
Hiss Claire.
At the Colonial all this week.

IXD MORE LAUGHS.
For the first time. “Fatty” Arbucklo
tteps completely from “slap stick” type
>f comedy, and for his latest production,
las a play that is pure comedy. There
is only one Incident In which the old
methods were ueed, and that could have
been dispensed with. For “Fatty" is
better in his new role than before.
The play is “The Life of the Party”
ad “Fatty” is the life of 'the
jrude play. The plot* is good, and al
though It uses some time-worn situa
tions. it turns them to good account and
many laughs. The star provides enough
iaughs'for a nnmber of plays; his antics
in a boy’s clothing gave us enough
laughs for a week.
“Fatty” doesn't throw pie or use a
brickbat at any time in the play. In
fact, he la always dressed up. The story
concerns the plotting of a milk trnst
and the fight of a briefless lawyer to
dissolve the trust and reduce prices.

There is another thing that we nearly
forgot, and that is the love story that
is a big part of the play. It is dignified,

The girl is good, and supplies beauty
and good acting to balance the produc

We liked Arbuckle in this piny, and

that he will have more success In this

MEIGHAN AGAIN SEEN
ON THE LOCAL SCREEN.
The latefit vehicle of Thomas Melghan
on the Paramount program Is called
“Conrad in Quest of His Youth” which
is made from a comedy of Leonard Mer
rick. It is a William De Mille produc
tion. Olga Printziau is responsible for
the scenario.
The story concerns Conrad, who be
lieves that he is too old for romantic
emotion, and yet he attempts to revive
the romance of his youth by failing in
love with a lady, a very wise lady. While
Conrad is waiting to keep an engage

The wedding comes as a surprise to all
but the close relatives of thsCTouple.
Mrs. Kellogg is a senior in Indiana
University, a member of the Delta Zeta
Sorority and has been prominent on
many of the women’s athletic teams of
the university. Mr. Kellogg also is an
Indiana student and a member of the
Kappa Sigma fraternity. He served as a
first lieutenant in the air service during
the late war, being overseas for sixteen
months, and was decorated with the Croix
de Guerre.
Mr. and Mrs. Kellogg have gone on a
short trip to Chicago and will be at home
after Jan. 3 in Bloomington, where they
I will continue their university work.
i come and departed while he was in
dreamland.
He then attempts to find romance by
falling in love with Lady Darlington,
who is a former actress but now a widow.
The grand Lady has no time to recall
that Conrad has lost his youth.
Meighan plays the role of Conrad, who
attempts to bring back the glorious day*
of youth, romance and love. The story
might be summed up as one demanding
rffaraeter types. It is a story of comedy
and pathos.
May be seen at the Ohio all week.

An Appreciation
From The Elks and Circle Theater
