On Sunday .February 28th I will
close my work as pastor of the Athe

press my thanks to all those wh
have helped to make my stay and
work in Athena so pleasant and suc

taken a forward step in the last

This fine big Western Picture kicks through with
true Western wilderness incidents as
they were in 1876
Have you seen "The Covered Wagon' or "North of 36?" If you have you'll
know what we mean when we say that "The Thundering Herd" belongs in
the same class. The story by Zane Grey has the same historical importance.
The production is of the same gigantic dimensions. The result is just as
thrillingly entertaining. Picture the setting the Western wilderness of
1876. Enormous herds of buffalo running wild across the plains. The rush
of pioneers to the new fields of fortune. The wanton slaughter of the buf
falo by the hide-hunters, inciting the Indians to new and savage uprisingo.
Picture Zane Grey's greatest romance against that, thrilling background!

The happy triple alliance of Meighan, Ade and Tom Geraghty, expert scen
arist the same winning combination that was responsible for the sensa
tional triumph of "Back Home and Broke" has scored another box office
bullseye with "Old Home Week." Here is a picture that portrays the sunny

the memory of it will linger long after other photoplays have been forgot

of thrill, flavored with suspense, and a charming love interest It is the
American small town in all its glory and it deals with the average kind of
people who make up the backbone of this country.
