"SO LONG, LETTY" AT MECCA One of the best comedy-drmtms ot tin Screen Is "So Ixmg. Letly," the Robei tsonCole super-special which will be shown tor a period ot two days at the Mecca theatre beginning tonight. ' Adapted to the silver sheet from Oliver Morocco’s famous and succesiGul stage play ot the same name. "So U>ng. Letty” appears to better advantage on the screen because of the wider scope ot the cam-, era. Al Christie, producer and director of "Letty," is pleased to believe that the screening of the comedy-drama is tii best work of ills career. Aside from a number of bewitching bathing girls who did not waste any material when making their bathing suits, Mr. Christie has selected four excellent artists to play the principal roles. They are T. Roy Barnes, Grace Daimood, Colleep Moore, and Walter Filers. The story of "So Ixmg, Letty " has to do with swapping wives, disgruntled husbands, homo cooked meals, laris gowns, cabarets, gingham drosses and snYdilrees. likewise it teaches a lesson to perpetually dissatisfied individuals. s—s—s—WANT ADS EARN—s—s—»
