Mere man to BE FEATURE ON LOCAL SCREENS (Continued From Fee* Fire.) but "The Jailbird” has tbs services of these two players. It Is described as a comedy-drama of an "honest crook” and his strange adventures in a one-horse town manned by one-track citizens and leading straight to the calaboose, where "Shakespeare CVlancy,” as Mac Lean is known in the picture, proves to the satisfaction of everyone that the straight an,d narrow path is the one safe and sure route to asweet girl’s heart. Tho plot is woven aronnd Clancy's efforts to promote an oil boom and sell a large amount of worthless stock. As fate would have it, however, the well turns out to be a gusher, and Instead of being classed as a slick crook the yonth suddenly finds himself to be the wealthiest and most respected citizen of the community. “The Jailbird” opens Sunday at the Alhambra for four days. \ -I- -1- -1GENE FOLUK WEIGHS SIS FOUNDS.

Mr. Poller, it is stated on good authority, doesn’t drink anything stronger than ginger ale, doesn’t smoke and thinks this game of playing the ape-man IsASuite as big a lark as passing the examination for the New York fire department with a JOO per cent rating or serving with the United States Army in Germany for nineteen months. * -l- -I- -!- ONCE A CROOK. THEN A POLICEMAN. A "crook” turned “cop.” The struggle of two clean living to overthrow the principles installed by t*-entv years of criminal environment. The battle of -Square” Kelly to S spite seemingly unoverwbelming oban ex-service man, dealings in many years of crime, and Bill Hart. his square attitude toward his fellow man. When “Square” decides to go straight and lhahes his decision known to his former pgls, one of whom is his own brother,jrufe audience is treated to one ©f the famous Hart fights. Later we see him as a policeman, a sworn officer of thp law, bound by his oath to arrrest the girl he loves and his own brother. We can not help but admire Hart for hig work in "Cradle of Courage,” but lie is sadly miscast in the role of a policeman. As “Square” Kelly, crook and exaervice man, he is true to form, but as Policeman Kelly, something is lacking. The theatergoing public bag learned to
