Comedy, Drama Mixed in New Picture Bills Jewel Carmen, Alice Brady Among Stars in Week's Programs. MANAGERS’ FALL PLANS Comedy and heavy drama will be mixed on the bills at the local movie houses next week The majority of the feature offerings will be dramatic in nature. All bills will contain comedy movies fn addition to the feature. Th# movie line-up for next week is as follow*: Ohio—Harold Lloyd In “1 Do" and “Girls Don't Gamble." Circle—Jewel Carmen in "Nobody.” Loew’s State—Alice Lake in “t'ncharted Seas.” Alhambra—Alice Brady In "Little Italy.” Isis—David Butler and Leatrlce Joy in “Smiling- All the Way. Regent—Harry Laugblln in "Honey Moon Ranch.” Colonial—Conway Tcarle In “The Fighter.” All movie house* ar= making elaborate plans for the fall and definite announcement* of fall bookings will be made soon. -I- -I- -!* DOUBLE BILL OFFERED AX OHIO. Beginning Sunday, the Ohio will offer a double movie bill consisting of Harold Lloyd in “I Do” and a movie version of the magazine story, "Girls Don't Gamble.” The Lloyd movie that the Ohio will offer next week Is his latest contribution to the screen. The H. C. L. which we have been hearing so much about has nothing on the high cost of producing and showing film dramas for the patrons of the Ohio Theater. Take an instance from “Girls Don’t Gamble,” with David Butler impersonating the unique role of James Fisher. In the last reel, the fifth to be precise, an incident which will cause any previous thrill to be outthrllled was accomplished at the cost of approximately $16,000. The scene or “shot" calls for the clash* ing of two huge auto trucks and their subsequent demolition. To achieve this bit of realism the producers had to purchase two new cars, paying a premium for their speedy delivery. While an ear. Her scene embraces another car in the process of demolition, all told the item that may bs charged against car service is a trifle short of $23,000. Not a big item, some would say in the cost of picture making, but big enough considering that these occur in but a few scenes, and there are five reels.
JEWEL CARMEN OPENS TODAY AT THE CIRCLE. Jewel Carmen in “Nobody” a story of mystery, will be the Circle theater feature attraction beginning Saturday. The story opens with the trial of a man for the murder of a wealthy banker Eleven men on the Jury would convict him, but the twelfth Juror hold* out.

Some time later Smith read his wife an announcement in the paper that Rossmore bad arrived in town.
