I have also gotten in touch with the presidents of the Rotary Club and Kiwanis Club and they have endorsed same.

HARRY MYERS As "Robinson Crusoe , and Noble Johnson as Friday, and , a saherb cut. Directed by Bob Kill YOUR PARENTS' Herald to Support Daily Paper A Stunt by the Grand Theatre of Greenville, Miss., that Received Honorable Mention putting this serial over than the way I have tied it up. "I might add that I have managed this house for nearly three years for the Saenger Chain. "Trusting that I might receive consideration when you judge the winners, I beg to remain, "Yours very truly, "G. S. McCORMICK, "Manager." Following is a sample of tihe verywell written stories which were contained in the Greenwood Daily Commonwealth in connection with this exploitation of the serial for Mr. McCormiek: Children Will Be Commonwealth Guests TEACHERS, PARENTS, Censors All Say— "Go to it" WHY? Because "The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe" is the world's prize picture of man's ingenuity under difficulties. Because here is a marvelous production of a man who would never give up! Because here is a stimulating picture of a man who, with his own hands, unassisted fashioned everything he needed to sustain existence — conquered that cruel fate which marooned him for years on a faraway island and became monarch of all he surveyed. Every teacher and every parent in the whole world knows how vital it is for the child to receive stimulation and encouragement in inventing and making things for itself and every one knows that "The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe" as a picture will be far more stimulating and realistic a story than it was in book form. Children will find a complimentary ticket in to-day's and Friday's Daily Commonwealth .which will admit them free to see the first chapter of the biggest and cleanest chapter-play ever made for the American child. IT isn't very often that we have the space to give any illustrations, save the four prize winners, but this week the sign on the back of Greenblatt's Hi-Henry was so fetching that we decided to make a picture of it, so that you could see it, too. The Grand Theatre is also one of the Saenger Amusement Company's chain. Its main opposition is furnished by the People's Theatre, which is a locally-owned proposition in which there are two hundred local stockholders. Any time they see the Grand Theatre making any splurge they hop right to the bat "to defeat them, and that's just what they did in this case. They put on the strongest bill they could and advertised in the paper for all they were worth, reminding the two hundred local owners that this was their theatre, and they even went so far as to give away ice-cream (Continued on Page 35) FREE MATINEE At The sawIATRE WED.
