a phonograph plays In this film is
well brought put The records repeat
the dying words of a man who is the

v Hold-Up is Exciting.' .
The new program which went on

The pictures are superior to the aver
age, and especially that one which
has a western color' to It, In that 'It
pictures the recent hold-up In Yellow-'
s&ne park. The full details of the
hold-ip Is pictured vividly. One of
the prettiest things that has been ren
dered by Robert Burton is that old
popular plece'whlch Is almost a clas
sic, "Down Where the Cotton Blos
soms Grow." He sings it especially
well.. K . ..- ' ' l, .7 -.
