WILUAM FOX FEATURE
. . AT THE GRAM) TONIGHT
"A Gilded Fool" will be the movie
topliner ' at the Grand theatre this
evening. The subject's merit is in
sured by the William Fox trademark
and the interpreting of the star role
by William Farnunuj The. plot con
cerns a happy-go-lucky youth who
has more money than brains, so to
speak, and , who is converted into a
useful and an influential citizen. A
real woman makes a real man of the
hero. The subject is five reels in
length. Persons who saw the second
installment of ?Neal of the Navy" at
the Grand Wednesday night declared
the serial to be more interesting so
far, than any continued picture be
fore (presented by the management.
