Comedy— "Who's Lyin?' "
You can not afford to miss "Mar

Robert Edeson inherited his love
of the theatre from his, father, who
was both actor and stage manager
and who never had the slightest doubt
that his son would continue in his
chosen profession. Born in New Oi'-
leans. New York nevertheless spelled
home to him until about six years
ago, when he definitely cast his lot
with pictures and joined the Holly
wood colony.
His first connection with the thea
tre was as treasurer of the old Park
Theatre in Brooklyn. The sudden ill
less of the leading man, and ' a
friend's jocular bet that "Bob"
couldn't take the actor's place suc
cessfully, led to his stepping into
the role at very short notice. Not on-
V did Edeson collect the SIOO from
his betting friend, but he got so
touch applause that he never went
tack to the box office.
Starred in both London and New
Wk productions, Edeson continued
-°r thirty years to spend most of his
t'toe in the theatre, with only oc
casional appearances in pictures, un
tol he agreed to play the role of
Dextry in "The Spoilers'*. The long
tog of the seasoned stage trouper for

"DEAD MAN'S CURVE"
A SATISFYING THRILL
If one likes auto racing and does
not race the next best thing is to di
rect a picture based on this theme,
according to Richard Rosson, direc
tor of Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., in
"Dead Man's Curve," the . thrilling
THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1928
; drama of the track, showing at Horn's
! Theatre Tuesday, November 20.
' Rosson loves the roar of the pow
erful motors and the sweeping clouds
of dust that add glamor to an auto-'
mobile race, but the fates decreed!
; that he should be a director rather j
i than a driver. Owning a powerful
| car himself, his favorite sport is
' driving, only not in races.
| As a consequence of this, Rosson
] has for long desired to direct a
•racing picture, feeling that with
j his interest he could put real feel
i ing and life into such a production.
| When FBO decided to make
j "Dead Man's Curve" from Frank
| Richardson Pierce's "The Century
Championship," Rosson got his
( chance. He says that the thrill of
making a racing story is as great
jas actually driving in a race,

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 21
J "FLOATING COLLEGE."
j Comedy—"Leaping Luck." j
j "Floating College" is great. Don't i
j miss it. Synopsis as follows:
1 Oscar, guard at the collegiate pris-
Jat Newberry, engages in an al
itercation with Jerry, manager of a
j ladies' barber shop.
! Jerry, in running away from Os-1
| car's wrath, is arrested as a fugitive !
| and is sent to Newberry penitentiary j
where Oscar seizes upon the rare op-1
. portunity for vengeance. In the jail'
Jerry recognizes Dorothy, the "re-1
form" warden's daughter, as a girl
> •
jhe once befriended. He also discov
j ers that Oscar is greatly in love with
ithe girl.
j
j Oscar, seeking to make little Jer
ry suffer, puts him on the prison
football team. Through a freak play,
Jerry becomes the hero of the rah-,
[ rah prison. To prevent Jerry from |
playing in the big game against a j
rival prison, Oscar has Jerry pard-j
»
oned. (
In the meanwhile Oscar himself
j has run afoul of the law during his
j day off and is sent to jail in the
j rival prison. He is put on the foot
j ball team there and is in the lineup
j of his rival team when they play his
"home" boys. J
I Jerry, distracted by his release j
j from prison, tries in vain to com- j
j mit new felonies that would send him j
! back. The law, however, worked too i
j slowly and he even attemps to break j
|into jail. He finally gets back but j
j realizes that Oscar, on the rival team J
; knows all the Newberry football sig-.
inals. Jerry then escapes from jail,
I steals the rival football signals and j
'gets back in time to save the day|
J for Newberry.
He scores a thrilling touchdown — J
with Oscar's last-minute aid wins
Dorothy and presumably lives happy
ever after within the walls of "dear
old Newberry."

! WAYSIDE GANG
! MEETS AT CLIFFSIDE
I
A most happy occasion was the»
banquet and program at Cliffside
Tuesday night given by the Ruther
ford County Wayside Gang. Plates
| for more than fifty guests were pro- j
vided by the members of Mrs. H. L. |
Robertson's economic class, assisted I
by the ladies of the "gang", and serv-.
i ed by members of the class, all dress- j
jed in white and who presented a j
(beautiful picture as they so politely ,
! and efficiently served the guests! j
I Harold Brown and Harry Lee |
Grant, of Charlotte, were present, j
and the guest of honor was Missj
Pantha Smart, beloved shut-in. B. !
E. Roach was master of ceremonies, j
After invocation by B. E. Gold, a j
j splendid supper was served, after [
! which the guests all repaired to the i
Cliffside Hall, where a splendid pro- j
gram was given. •
After a few introductory remarks j
jby Mr. Roach, a splendid recitation
| was given by Jack Atkinson, who
was roundly applauded and respond
!ed with a second reading. Lewis |
j Davidson then gave a reading and j
jalso was heartily encored. Virginia J
and Howard Magness then sang sev-j
eral songs, which were warmly ap- j
plauded. \
Miss Pantha Smart then gave a I
talk in which she told of her strug- j
gles as a shut-in and of the inspir'a- J
tion and help she had received from I
the Waysiders. j
Mr. Brown then made a stirring!
talk, in which he told of his exper-j
iences and of the work and aims of j
Wayside. Mr. Grant gave a short j
talk on the Wayside work and also |
i gave a reading of one of his poems. I
The Courier is sorry that on *c-j
count of the rush of going to
today, the writer can not give moret;
of the details of this splendid meet-»\
ing. It is a great work the Waysidej
are doing and it was a great meeting, j
