King's 1924 King's 1924 Revue, which came up from southern California, play ing all the leading theaters in the larger cities as far north as Se attle, is now playing return dates on the way south and by special arrangements has been booked for three days at the Bligh theater, and will play in conjunction with the regular feature picture pro gram, j The company is composed of high class artists presenting fast moving musical comedy hits from the latest metropolitan successes. Clever singing and dancing come dians, a bevy of attractive show girls in new songs and dances, leading' men of the Rudolpho Val entino type, and petite ingenue and sonbrette form a part of the cast. The feature attraction is Miss Mar jorl'e King, a dainty lit tle dancer who is a recruit from the mayor and prominent mem bers of the clergy. Mr. Dexter and his supporting company were given a highly enthusiastic recep tion. The play was beautifully produced. Mr. Dexter is one of the best actors seen here in years and presents a very deserving at traction." ! ! j The play, ''The Havoc," which Mr. Dexter Is bringing here per sonally, is a modern presentation of a complex domestic i problem confronting a middle-class family whirling through the vortex of every day New" York life. It is an engrossing story giving a new and entirely unique twist to the eter nal triangle and nothing Mr. Dex ter has done (either on the stage or the screen has shown him to quite such an appealing advantage as the role he portrays in "The Havoc.' His screen admirers will love him in the Sheldon drama. PRINGLE The Pringle school is to have a basket ball set installed soon.

Chabert leaped from j the truck, rushed beneath the overhanging truck and at the risk of his life snatched the help less comrade from the water. I 1 NEW BOOKS AT !
