"ON WITH THE DANCE"
Startling Photoplay at The
Movie Theatre Saturday.
The picture at the Movie Theatre
Saturday feels the pulse of New
York and finds it not alone the hive
of temptation that it is cften called,
but also the haven for vaulting am
bition inthe arts and sciences.
"On With the Dance" is the big
city in all its seething phases.
Against this background a dram
atic love story has been worked out
by the master baDd of Ouida Berg
ere, certainly one of the foremost
scenarists of the silver sheet.
Mae Murray and David Powell are
the feature players. Miss Murray
shows that she has not lost one whit
of her skill in the dance, which first
brought her into prominence in the
Follies. But she also exhibits very
pleasing qualities as an emotional
actress of surpassing ability. Mr.
Powell is, as always, the suave gen
tleman and accomplfshed actor
The story concerns the adven
tures of a little, pretty Russian girl
suddenly left an orphan amid the
luxury of New York's smart set.
Her encounters with men, good and
bad, her temporary yielding to the
lure of a "soft life," and her final
redemption in the big crisis provide
an absorbing plot that holds the in
terest of the audience every moment.
The picture is the first of the
George Fitzmaurice Productions re
leased by Paramount Arte raft.

and Sunday night. They were enroute

They will be accompanied home Thurs
day by their daughter, Bernice, who
has been a student at Boiling Springs.
Hon. Cameron Morrison, prominent
in tne civic and political life of the
state, and a candidate for the position
of Governor of the state of North
Carolina, will speak in Forest City on
Friday afternoon, May 28th, at 2 p. m.
He is a fluent and forceful speaker and
the people should turn out to hear him.
The Courier job printing office is
equipped with new material and pre
pared to turn out as good printing as
anybody. We will appreciate your bus

FITZMAURICE AVIATOR
Novel Shot Was Secured for
"On With the Dance."
George Fitzmaurice, the motion

an airplane enthusiast Every
morning when the weather is favor
able, Mr. Fitzmaurice leaves his lit
tle borne in Mamaroneck, on Long
Island Sound, for a spin in a sea
plane belonging to a friend of his.
So exhilirating has he found the
sport that he recently ordered a
plane himself.
"On With the Dance" is an enter
taining^,'picture of New York life.
David Powell has the leading male
role opposite Miss Murray. Ouida
Bergere wrote the scenario. It is
a Paramount Artcraft.
"ON WITH THE DANCE"
A Rhymed Review
By Russell Holman
Sonia, lovable butterfly-girl,
Hot in her quest for pleasure,
Catight in the big city's cabaret whirl,
Drunk with the dance's gay measure.
Mad with her beauty, jealous men
fought;
Pistol shots startled the Broadway
throng;
Out of the darkness the love that she
sought
Turned her heart back from the path
way of wrong.
"On With the Dance"—New York grave
and gay
Playing the game that singes young
hearts;
Mae Murray, the star in a great photo
play,
Fairest of players in strongest of
parts.
Batch of Newsy Notes
From Thriving Cliffside
Cliff side, May 10. —Miss Hattie Car
den who has been teaching music at
Bessimer City during the past eight
months spent Thursday, Friday and
Saturday here with her sister Miss
Delia Carden. They both spent the
week-end with Misses Clara and Leila
Morris at Union Mills and Miss Hattie
left Monday for her home in Anderson
ville. Tenn.
A sad tragedy occurred a few miles
from here last Friday when Mr. Toliver
Harris, a farmer living near Prospect
Church committed suicide by shooting
himself with a shot-gun. It is thought
that Mr. Harris was not in a reasonable
frame of mind, and has not been quite
normal since a severe attack of influen
za some time ago. He leaves an aged
mother a wife and several children, also
several brothers who mourn their loss.
Miss Eva Long attended the Com
mencement exercises at Hot Springs
last week, and reports a good time.
Miss Long's youngest brother, Dan
Long was a member of the graduating
class.
Mr. Bunyan Rich who has been at
tending school and graduated at Hot
Springs was a visitor here Friday. He
was accompanied by Mr. Addie Nunney
of Spindale who also attended school at
Hot Springs last year.
The ball teams of Henrietta and Cliff
side clashed again last Saturday after
noon on the local ground. It was one
of the most interesting games ever
played here. Both teams were in
splendid condition and the game was
interesting throughout. Simmons did
some fine pitching for the local team
fanning five, walked one. Three runs
were made, one each by John Jones,
G. L. Champion and Forest Jones.
Forest Jones knocked a three base hit.
The playing of Livingston Freeman
deserves special mention he did some
fine work on short. Henrietta is play
ing good ball, and Mr. McMahan's
pitching was good. He kept Cliffside
from scoring until the sixth inning.
Frazier also played good ball for Hen
rietta, making the only score for their
team. A summery of the game is as
follows:
Cliffside. Scores 3; errors 4; 1 one
base hit; 1 two base hit; 1 three base
hit; fanned five; walked 1.
Henrietta. Scores 1; errors 5; 3 one
base hits; fanned two; walked five.
A great many of our people attended
memorial services at High Shoals, Mt.
Vernon and other places Sunday.
Rev.—Waycaster a Methodist Episco
pal minister preached in the Hall Sun
day afternoon at three-thirty and again
at seven-thirty Sunday evening.
Sunday was Mothers' Day and the
white flowers were conspicious telling
of the loss of the best friend one ever
has on earth. We think it very fitting
that one day in the year should be set
apart to pay tribute to the mothers.
Nor do we believe the fathers should
be forgotten.
Our people were grieved to hear last
Saturday morning of the death of Dr.
C. B. Wiseman which occurred at his
home in North Henrietta Friday night.
A large concourse of people attended
the funeral Sunday afternoon at High
Shoals. The Cliffside train made a trip
to accommodate the people who could
not get other means of conveyance and
even the baggage coach was filled.
Some estimated the number of people
at the funeral at five to six thousand.
We feel that the County has lost one of
its most efficient and consecrated Physi
cians in the death of Dr. Wiseman, and
his friends all over the county and else
where deeply sympathize with his be
reft family.
Messrs. E. W. and J. B. Wilson and
Fred|Robinson of Gastonia were visitors
in town Sunday afternoon.
A great many former students and
several others are attending the Com
mencement exercises at Boiling Springs
this week. One of our boys, Mr. Liv
ingston Freeman graduates this year.
Mr. Thurlow High tower returned
Friday from Rutherford College where
he attended school last year.
Born Monday morning to Mr. and
Mrs. W. C. Hightower, a girl.

work this spring. They had a conver
sion in the class Sunday morning.
Miss Alma Freeman of near Mt.
Vernon has returned to Cliffside and
has taken a position with the Mills.
Mr. Guy Fortune, formally of Phila
delphia is visiting here for a few days
