* 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. It’s a
sensation, and boys we are lucky
enough to have that “Aggieland Or
chestra” to play for the above men
tioned dance.
