FRIDAY-SATURDAY Coo iune vT iW a EXTRA PROGRAMS AT BROADWAY DeHavens' Comedy, "Girl in the Taxi," Opens -Week Restivo, Vi2ard Ac cordionist, Here All Week. Two programs of entirely exception al entertainment, value are offered this week at - the Broadway theater. The feature pictures' are comedies, the kind which make the film . fan forget the warm weather," and. Restivoj the world famous '. wizard on : thev- accordeon, will give a brilliant variety ta the program throughout the-week. . The firsts three; days of the . week, Mr. and Mrs. Carter DeHaven's latest First National release, "The Girl in the Taxi," will , be shown.! "- "Seven Years of Bad Luck,"' a . five-reel super-comedy, will T be,' the ' principal . attraction in films the latter part of the week. This program '.will be given - added in terest by the showing of 'iThe Fight of the Ages,"; a, two-reel special featuring Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier, who soon ' will meet in pugilistic en counter for the' world's heavyweight championship title. Mr. and Mrs. Carter De Haven, in a screen version of "The Girl in the Taxi," one of the most uproariously funny farce comedies ever written, will by the Associated First National attrac tion at The Broadway Monday, Tues day and Wednesday. The story is based upon the miscon ception John Stewart has as to. the true characteristics of his son, Bertie. Bertie is not such a mollycodde as his father would believe him to be. Before his uncle arrives for a visit he has met a most wonderful girl in a taxicap where he has sought a hiding place from his father. The girl has accepted his invi tation to dinner and then has said good .bye without giving Bertie her name. - Then comes to the Stewart home Ma jor Smith and his wife Mignon. Bertie recognizes Mignon as the girl in the taxi and makes arrangements for a dinner party with her on the same even ing." His uncle has a date with his "doctor" at the same cafe, his father has a "business conference" also at the same place, and it also happens to be the place where Major Smith is to dine -with the Governor's party. Nor are their troubles over when they get home after the medley. Their waiter of the night before is the new butler in the Stewart home. The fun is the best that has ever been put on the screen, and is as clean and whole some as a breeze from a field of clover. A Film of Merry Laughter. If you're a member of the tribe of bipeds who .believe that .laughter is just what the doctor ordered, slip over to see "Seven Years' Bad Luck," the Robertson-Cole super-special picture featuring Max lender, which will un pack its sack of snickers at the Broad way theater Thursday for a run of three days. Agreeing that laughter is happiness and happiness the greatest of all tonics, "Seven Years' Bad Luck" certainly wins the cut glass rifle for being the greatest health producer ever viewed on the silver sheet. There are more laughs, (without the aid of a custard pie), in this picture than there are hops in a toad. Max Linder hasn't been seen on the screen for some time and he has been sadly missed. When the . Hun. gfuns began to blaze away at Liege at the opening of the great war that put the Kaiser "in Dutch" and the German empire in hock, the famous comedian jumped into uniform in response to the French bugle. He stoped amus ing to take up fighting and he did one equally as well as the other. For clean humor you can't beat "Seven Years' Bad Luck." Ever break a mirror? If you haven't don't! You have no sidea how a busted reflector will mar - the daily diary for seven years, until you have seen what hap pens to Max in-this new picture. The comedian's trouble really begins at his last bachelor dinner, when he manages to consume enough of the beverage pro hibited by the eighteenth amendment, to make his homeward course a "shimmy." N The next morning" he breaks the mir ror. Why he breaks it is a scream. His fiancee gives him the cold paw. Why she gives him the cold paw is a ; scream. He must take a trip a rest-! ful trip to steady his nerves and shake the seven year jinx. The trip is a scream. Just exactly what Max has to put up with from the moment he is ousted by his sweetheart, until the moment he finds himself again in her arms, with the mirror jinx a mere myth, represents a series ' of hilarious comedy situations never before equalled in moving pictures. ' "The Fight of the Ages," featuring Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier, also is on the program for the last half of the week. NASH OFFICIAL IS .VISITOR IN CITY Factory Service ' Manager Well Pleas ed With -Efficient Arrangement- of Carolinas Nash Motors Co.'s New Home. L. L.

The public's susceptibility to -an ac tive publicity campaign is hilariously proven wheg Jimmy Knight, the lead ing role assumed by MacLean, a young lawyer, temporarily turned druggist, ac cumulates a . fortune by means of a spurious patent medicine and an enor mous advertising drive. However, ho alone knows of the mysterious fifth in gredient which he has added to the drug and which he claims is the basis of its success. The inability of gov ernment inspectors to analyze Jimmy's miraculou preparation, and the desire of rival concerns to buy his patents result in his arrest and an exciting and humorous conclusion of the story. .
