School Days," ' by Ralph Connor.- the attraction at the Liberty Theater tomorrow, found that this role had Its trials and tribulations as well as its' Joy ous moments. One of the import ant scenes in 'this production was a party 'given by a. number 'of children. Miss Garon stated in an interviews that she had always loved to give parties, and this re minded her so .much of her school days, "which it must be admitted were not so very long ago. How ever In this particular scene she stated she had the time of her life. Oyer 75 children were used in the scene and a fine timewas had by all.- ::v ; . - - " v-. 'However, ' li wasn't all a bed of roses for Miss Garon. Like every other motion picture star, she is sometimes called upon to do al most anything. This was the case in "The Critical Age."
