'Naughty Lions and Wild Men."
Who Said "No War Pictures"?
Two Reel Century Animal Comedy Featuring Jimmy Adams and the Century Lions.
Directed by Fred C. Fishbach.
(Copyright 1920 by Century Motion Picture Company)
]_01S KILLSOME was so beseiged with suitors that she determined to give herself to the bravest lion hunter and in case he should be killed she would marry the best rabbit hunter. The trumpet for the hunt called them all to the lion field and while Fatty was hunting for rabbits, Jimmy the Fearless looked for lions. Both were successful but Jimmy soon became the hunted rather than the hunter and his agility alone saved him from becoming a lion lunch. As he attempted to escape from the jungle, however, he ran slam-bang into King Fadeum and for a time it looked as though Jimmy was destined to become the monarch of the jungle until Fadeum discovered that Jimmy's dice were crooked.
Summoning the Royal Chef he consigned Jimmy to the stew. Before Jimmy was quite ready to be served, however. Queen Bangle came along and shimmied him temporarily out of his predicament, but Lois and her lion hunters had so peeved the lions that the party was glad to join Jimmy in the stew while the lions licked the broth.

THAT to do with a capsized canoe is the interesting first subject of this very interesting issue. The first thing is to keep cool and don't let the water dampen your spirits. If you paddle with your hands you can make two miles an hour. We then are introduced to John Mclntyre, who, once a hobo, is devoting his life to reclaiming human driftwood as superintendent of the Whosoever Gospel Mission, Germantown, Philadelphia. He has righted the footsteps of more than 180,000 wanderers. Next, Dame Courtesy gives a lesson in "Watching your step" at a dance. The proper thing to do and say at all times is ably illustrated. In this day of chasing the old H. C. of L., Mr. 'p. A. Cimini, a Bucalo architect has invented a device which conserves precious space and makes one room serve as four. It is called a tum-table apartment. Landlords get many a smile out of letters from tenants, and some of these are included in this week's letter-laughs. This issue closes with a futurist movie of Secretary Lansing.
Odeon Theatre, Clarksburg, W. Va., playing "Crashing Through To Berlin."
Mr. Carl Laemmle, President. Liniversal Film Company. Dear Mr. Laemmle : —
December 13, 1919.
Just a few words to say that I have often heard that exhibitors were skeptical about the booking of war pictures, including myself.
A representative of the Washington branch, through difficulty, sold me "CRASHING THROUGH TO BERLIN." I played this feature to the record business of the Odeon Theatre, and only wish the Universal Film Company had more of these money-makers.
I am enclosing a photo of the lobby display, in co-operation with the recruiting officer of the United States, thus proving that he could secure a number of recruits, and I certainly recruited patrons that never knew the Odeon Theatre was in existence.
Thanking you very kindly for producing this wonderful moneygetter, I am most sincerely,
THE ODEON THEATRE, Clarksburg, W. Va.
W. D. Williamson, Manager.
