GIRLS FIGHTS WAY THROUGH HE-MAN COUNTRY ALONE She went into the Rhodesian gold field alone—with just one purpose in mind. This girt, once the idol of London, left behind her everything that could connect her with her scintilating past She went in with eyes open for she knew that she was going into a man's world—a world of hardfisted. heavy drinking, depress«^ and morose mer. —a world where no decent girl could live and remain decent. Disguised as a man she plunged in to this vertibale hell upon earth, where men worked, fought and drank with no thought of the morrow. And as a man she worked, and fought with these hardened charac ters of the veldt, that she might save "her man” from the curse of that arid land—ponjola, the poisoning moral-destroying drink of the Hot-' sam and jetsam that lived its mono tonous life beneath the torrid Afri can sun. Thia is “Ponjola”, Cynthia Stock- ley’s stirring, exciting story of South African gold field life, which b to be shown Sunday at the Majestic. Anna Q. Nilsson enacts the great est role of her career in this First National picture. Other popula. players in the cast are James Kirk wood, Tully Marshall, Ruth Clif ford, Joseph Kilgour, Edwin Sturgis, Claire McDowell, Claire Du Brey and Bernard Randall.

The letters had to be recover ed, within an hour! How “Slippy McGee” «brou«’! back the sunshine smile to the Soul em'girl who had first given him hope “to go straight” is the climax v-<v en into the remarkable story of “Sir Py McGee,” Oliver Morosco’a scree feature that is coming to the Ma jestic theatre Saturday as a First Na tional attraction. “Slippy McGee”, the story by Marie Conway Oemler, has reached it« tenth edition in book form and its popularity is being fur ther increased by Morosco’s striking screen presentation.

He expected the kindly priest, to whose home he had been carried to “call the bulls". But the priest didn’t. And then cam« the girl with her smile and her sup gestion of helpfulness.
