The Sheen Wonder Show, an unparallelled amusement organization that is ocnsidered by all as a really big time company. This company features the “World’s Greatest Juvenile Trio,” with 20 mu sical combinations and special musical acts that surprise and delight the most blase musical critics, with Master Al lan Skeen, violinist, rightly named, “The Boy Kreisler,” “Miss Thelma Skeen, who is considered by the World’s leading musicians as “Ameri ca’s Greatest Harpist,” and Miss Lo renda Skeen, Violinist, who is known as America's Child Wonder. Interspersed between these 20 mu sical combinations and novelty acts, in which the Skeen Juveniles are the originators and only performers, Prof. S. W. Skeen, known as “Lazeme The Great,” will mystify and amuse with magical effects and illusions, finishing with the greatest sensation in 50 years. Sawing a woman in three and restor ing her as in days of yore right before your eyes, entirely different from any other sawing illusion ever demonstra ted on the American stage. The illu sion alone is well worth the price of admission, making a two hour pro gram in all of unusual merit that is seldom seen in any small town and we sincerely hope the people of this vicinity will turn out and support this high class and educational per formance. Remember Sheen’s Wonder Show have all they advertise and guarantee to please or refund money and a good applause will always bring an encore. —From Carroll Times, Carroll, Iowa “GRANDMA’S BOY” EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS “Grandma’s Boy” exceeds the liveli est expectations for this much-dis cussed and widely heralded film. With its philosophy, romance, excit ing clashes, satire on human weak nesses, pathos and optimism, “Grand ma’s Boy” is unlike anything Lloyd has ever done and displays the star as an actor of broader scope than his most ardent admirers have known. Here, in addition to being excrutiat ingly funny, he shows surprising ability as an emotional player, and the fact that he sometimes pulls hard at the tenderest heart strings, gives ar. idea of the difference of his five-reel effort from all his previous films. In “Grandma’s Boy” the story con struction is so clever that the char acter development is as legitimate as in any serious play. At first one is almost led to expect merely a bucilic drama. Then the fun begins with its satire on the foolish .fears that are a part of inost human lives, and it is riotous. Lloyd’s scenes with Grandma, play ed by Mrs. Anna Townsend, an ador able old lady of 79, are among the most charming ever screened. Mil dred Davis never before played with so much charm. Dick Sutherland’s portrayal of the tramp is unequalled, and Charles Stevenson is excellent as the Bully. Harold Lloyd has never been seen to such excellent advantage as in “Grandma’s Boy,” and never was there such a comedy as this. At the Royal Theater Thursday and Friday, April 12 and 13. JOHANNA COFFEY. Mrs. Johanna Coffey, one of the early settlers of Holt county, died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Frank Clark, at Buffalo, South Dakota, Thursday, April 5th, after a prolonged illness, at the advanced age of seventy nine years, ten months, and twenty six days.
