mew SENHETT COMEDO
COMING TO BEX S^ON
Mack Bennett's newest comedy
creation, a five part comedy'produc
tion "Down on the Farm," regarding
which there has been no ond of ex
ceptionally favorable comment since
its issuance by .United Artists Cor
poration will be the feature at tae
Rex theatre on April 25 and 29, giv
ing the people of this communityjghe
opportunity of witnessing a coinejdy
production that is making film his
tory.
The release ,of "Down, on the
Farm," through United Artists Cor
poration is not to be wondered at,
tor the*production is of such magni
tude that it fits in admirably with
the type of picture in which the
"Big Four" has been specialising. It
has been ItnownTfor some time that
United'Artists Would not confine it
self only to' the1
distribution of the
productions of MSry TIckfbrd, Char

D. W. OriffithTvxclusivBly^ut would
''i distribute the occasional big produc
tions that came, to the, open market
for specialiaatiott in distribution.
iThis is an ihdicaton-that the "Big

ct*it^fdur~pTincIpttSt
mj Astonishing in th extreme is* the
wonderful manner in which Mr. Ben.
nett succeeded irt training the birds
and beasts of the farm to act the
leading) roles' in this production. A
