That she was al so longing unutterably for the op portunity ; return to the still figure on the couch below, I knew, but I realized that Dr. Pet- tit had wished to get her out of the way, for some reason or other, and I packed things as slowly as I could manage without arousing her suspicions.!

Unusual interest is attached to the booking of the big photoplay production, ."The Greatest .Men ace " which win be shown jn the screen or. the liiigh tneatre i?r three days commencing Monday, This is a super-drama of rom ance and adventure oased upon the nationwide fight against the drug traffic that has gained such a hold upon the big cities. An gela C. Kaufman sponsored this story and spent time and money in making it complete in every detail. '. i There are many popular come dians In the screen world, but when It 'comes to a fun maker, who brings out the true essence of ' the American youth. Johnny HInes. the star in the new feature comedy. "Sure Fire Flint,. biHed at the Liberty theater tomorrow. is in a . class by i t himself. Mr. HInes is the typical , American boy. Having lived . and been brought up in a small town where youth Is free to play boyish pranks as every true blooded Am erican lad does, Johnny has in stilled in all his pictures Just that class of comedy that is real "and free from stinted. stunts.' It is al most safe ' to say that Johnny HInes is the most popular come dian among the Juvenile set of picture goers. His ' comedy ia clean and natural. He plays just the sort of pranks any boy would play at a party, on his teacher. or on his boss. He is ons oi those fellows, who In his fun making, can take a joke ! upon himself as well as play it on the other fellow. In none of his pic tures does , he want to be the whole show." i He likes to see others get a chance. For that reason his manager, Charlie Burr, who produces all the comedian's pictures, surrounded him with a notable cast. They are men and women of note and reputation and while Johnny is the star, he de lights in seeing others share with him all that is worth while. "Gome down to earth!"

Fresh from his triumphs in "Man slaughter,". Thomas Meighan add ing to his laurels everywhere with "Back Home and Broke," which is billed at the Grand thea ter tonight and tomorrow. This j new Paramount production is the second, by George Ade for th screen. Mr. Ade wrote "Our Leading Citizen" and the present story specifically for Mr. Meighan. "Back Home and Broke" is rich in humor, with delightful dashes of , thrills, suspense and heart tugs. The story deals with. the, problems of a - young man, who upon the death of his father is left penniless. Made to feet that he occupies an humble po sition in the town, he leaves to seek success elsewhere. Eventu ally he returns to the old town. but not as a conquering hero. Apparently he Is broke and ridi cule is heaped upon him. The rest of the story travels in a swill cycle -of excitement, punctuated by humor which is sure material for laughter, c" , ) Mr. Meighan's leading woman in this picture Is Lila Lee.
