This suggestion met with unanimous approval. Theatre. This is the second of the Mark Twain classics to come to the screen. Young Jackie Coogan is again cast in the role of Tom Sawyer, in which he made such a hit in the mo tion picture by that name, and Jun ior Durkin continues his portrayal of Huck Finn. Mitzi Green and Jackie Searl are just as enjoyable in this picture as they were in Tom Sawyer. The fat and jolly Eugene' Pallette heads the cast of adults.,He portrays one of the pair of desperadoes who lead Tom and Huck into mischief. The story carries on the adventures of wicked design of the bad men and win more honor and renown. AUTO WRECKED H. W.

Another matter that came up was the responsibility of the vehicle on the highways. Railroads are held to strict account for everything they do, and for every accident or loss, which is not quite the attitude of the law towards the gasoline vehicle on the public road. “I think, said Mr. Pow ell, “the truck and the bus in commer cial service should be put on the same basis as the' railroad in relation to public business.” “Our bunch here is not on a busi ness mission on this occasion in South ern Pines. They have come down for a holiday and a social meet. Most of them are our office and department men, but they have with thern some friends from some of the other roads. The affair is purel/ an outing, al though they are keeping an eye open for what they can see, for all Sea board men are interested in the Sea board country. They have a desire to know what service is needed and most acceptible throughout our field, and their theory is that for the road to benefit it must be of service to its patrons. We think that is going to bring us our share of prosperity as prosperity unfolds. But I am not look ing for a revival of business through any magical influences. Neither am I alarmed greatly over the prospect, for I think we are gradually getting on a more substantial footing, and that as we all get to digging in in- divually, foi*getting our scares, and supplementing our optimism with the determination to drive ahead in ener getic manner we will come out all right in due season.” The Seaboard is having a pretty good freight business for this time of the year, 'S^SLTXt .A.<ls guished guests. The exercises will be held in the tO'WTi square with speaking from a balcony and sufficient amplifiers to novel, “Girls Together,” and gives Miss Crawford opportunities in the “whoopee” type of part with which she has been so successful in the lot. In its settings of sheer beauty it enable a great crowd to hear the ex- i past, although the story obviously ercises perfectly. Thursday night a beauty contest will be held to choose the queen of U. S. Highway No. 1, who will rule at the big street dance which will be held, at which one of the best orches tras in the South will play and which it is expected will be attended by a thousand couples. NEW GRANDSTAND MAY MEAN WINTER BASEBALL has its serious moments. Pauline Frederick, as the mother, is also giv en a chance for clever acting and the cast also includes Neil Hamilton, who scored with Norma Shearer in “Strangers May Kiss;” Monroe Ows ley, recently seen opposite Gloria Swanson in “Indiscreet;” Hobart Bos. worth, Emma Dunn, Albert Conti and Marcelle Corday. A series of foot ball subjects, with Notre Dame stars in the cast, also begins on this pro gram and will continue every Thurs day, Friday and Saturday, for six weeks, the first of which is “Shifts.” Probably the majority of Carolina Theatre patrons are already aware of the tremendous hit, “Bad Girl,” which has had the honor of a three Through the efforts of several pub lic spirited citizens the Southern Pines ball team has a real grand stand capable of seating about one hundred spectators who will be am ply protected from fouls by staunch wire netting.
