THE BATTALION 9 ❖ •*> * SAY BO! DIDJA? * ❖ ❖ Say Bo! Didja ever get up in The morning feeling like the Proverbial Bovine that pole- Vaulted the Nocturnal Orb? Even that afternoon of Bridge Design fails to appal you, and You feel that you can do things With a Bridge that Horatio himself Would never have dreamed of. The Morning passes quickly and pleas antly, And you listen without Resentment To that Lecture on Economics which Usually provokes prolonged tho silent Profanity, Dinner comes and goes, and Reinforced with many a glass of De lectable Billiards, you rush impetuously to that Drafting room where Angels fear to Tx-ead. You buckle right down to work, And when you begin to get tired, re peat To yourself a few lines from Long fellow’s Poem about the fellow who ate ex celsior. This reminds you of the time Char lie Regan ate the Geraniums, but you Lough it off, and settle down to Work again. Time flies and so do Your scale and pencil, not to mention The leaves of that Caregie Hand book. And there Blossoms forth the pro duct Of your Bx-ain and Ingenuity; a built Up girder in all its minute details. You swell with conscious pride, and Survey with Loving eyes that dem onstration Of the fact that Mind rules Matter. Just then the Chief puts the Test To that Masterpiece, and you find, To your dismay, that you have changed Scales in the Big Middle of the pro jects. To say nothing of using the wrong Scale to begin with. Old Man Gloom Swings to the jaw, and you go down •f For the count, and—Say Bo! WHAT’S THE USE ANYHOW? WHAT A BIG Critic writes to the Exhibitors about the picture to be shown Thurs day, Friday, and Saturday at the Queen: “The French Doll” offers Miss Murray the most fascinating role she has ever had. As the fiery little French gh’l, she is delicious. This part enables her to run the gamut of her versatile talents. It is a com posite of her many successful roles, and yet vastly different from any of them. “The French Doll” is dis tinctive. It was adapted from the famous play which made a sensational suc cess on Broadway and on the-road. It is well known throughout the country. New York critics were unanimous in praise of the play as delightful entertainment, and the picture has far exceeded the play in rapid movement, color and power. This story will hold your audiences fasinated. Settings? Just wait ’til you see them. There hds never been any thing like them on the screen, even in Mae Murray’s previous pictures, and you know what they were. “The ! French Doll” has them all beat for beauty, lavishness and -cost. The | scenes are laid in Paris, New York and Palm Beach—a wonderful op portunity for elaborate sets and ad vantage was taken of every oppor tunity. Here are settings that will make your audiences gasp. And gowns! Even Mae Murray never before wore costumes so gor geous, ravishing dazzling in their splendor. The winsome star de liberately set about to “knock their eyes out” with these gowns and she will do it. There’s not a woman in your town who won’t rush to see these magnificent creations??? Robert Z. Leonard directed the picture, and you know what that means in dramatic and artistic ef fects. You know what he did in “Peacock Alley,” “Fascination, also “Broadway Rose” and Jazzmania.” And here’s another tip. In this picture Miss Murray does the most striking dance of her career.
