THREE STARS DEBUT
IN FOX MOVIETONE
Patrons of the New Royal Theatre
this week are getting their first
glimpses of three new talking pic- j
ture stars, Spencer Tracy, Claire j
Luce and Joan (“Cherie”) Lawes,
who are portraying featured char
acters in the laugh provoking Fox 1
Movietone, “Up the River.’’
Spencer Ti-acy, previous to his
screen debut in this movietone mirth- j
quake had never attempted a comedy ,
role, is just as funny as the champion 1
jail breaker and emissary of cupid as j
he was grim in the role of “Killer i
Mears” in the Broadway stage sen
sation, “The Last Mile.”
Beautiful blonde Claire Luce, for- |
mer premiere danseuse of Ziegfeld
Follies, who enacted the leading fern-I
inine role in the London production
of “Burlesque” and the New York
production of “Scarlet Fages,” por
trays the character “Judy” and after
watching her performance we can
readily see why Hollywood is all
agog over the potentialities of this
lovely little lady.
For the important role of the war
den’s daughter, Director John Ford
showed shrewd judgment in selecting
Joan (‘Cherie’) Lawes, little actress.
To get the most out of her role it was
only necessary that she act natural
as in real life she is the daughter of
Warden Lewis E. Lawes of Sing Sing
Prison, New York, and prison walls
and bars are every day things in her
life.
These players are but three of
more than fifty featured in “Up The
River,” which is rapidly proving it
self to be the laughing sensation of
the year. The story deals primarily
with two amateur cupids, tough eggs
and champion jail breakers, who ap
point themselves custodians, guides
and mentors to a pair of youthful
prison inmates and conduct their ro
mance to a satisfactory conclusion.
John Ford, the director and Maurine
Watkins who wrote the story are de
serving of much credit for this
splendid and hilarious film.
At the New Royal. Sunday and
Monday. Dec. 7 and 8.
GOK IE-JOHNSON CH ARIVARI
A GREAT SUCCESS
The Gokie-Johnson charivari
which began last spring and was
postponed on account of the partici
pants not being able to secure a suit
able place to care for the vast crowd
that took part in the charivari. The
charivariers received a very liberal
donation at the wedding and were an
xious to find a building that would be
large enough to hold a dance in con
nection with the “feed.” Mr. Getch
er, the captain of the party, moved
away but turned over the money to
Billy Murray and apointed him chief
custodian; in order to hold the cele
bration before the weather turned too
THE FRONTIER
D. H. CRONIN, Publisher
W. C. TEMPLETON,
Editor and Business Manager
Entered at the Postoffice at O’Neill,
Nebraska as Second Class Matter
cold and disagreeable, he secured the
consent to hold the celebration at the
Jimmie Earley home, as it was about
the center of the neighborhood.
Shortly before eight o'clock on the
evening of November 24th the crowd
began to arrive and before a half :
hour the house was filled to capacity; j
everyone settled down to the old pas- :
time, pitch; for an hour each one!
added a little to the humor of the oc- j
casion, which made the evening a
most enjoyable one; about nine-thir
ty the rugs and carpets were remov
ed arid the lie hi fantastic was on;
Reveler’s orchestra provided a variety
of good music. The ladies served a
delicious luncheon consisting of sand
wiches pickles and coffee, which was
■ greatly enjoyed. Following the lun
! cheon, William < on ley, who presided
:as toast-master, called the attention
of everyone to a little program that
j had been arranged that was fresh
: from the mint, and created a 1 ot of
i laughs and much applause. It would
I be useless for me to attempt to ex
j plain the various commotions that
| occurred throughout the house dur
ing the evening, but I could hear sev
eral of the old stand-pats discussing
J the general depression caused by fic
i ricious values creating heavy burdens
{on every taxpayer in excess of what
j t hey can afford to pay; the conclusion
i in a nutshell was that unless material
resources far exceeded the present
paltry allowances annually, they
would turn this country over to the
Izaak Walton League to use as a nat
ural reservation for wild animals, as
j the league seems to he able to man
' age their business on a subscription
] basis.
This concluded the evening program
J and at the wee small hours of the
morning the strains of “Home Sweet
| Home’ were played, after which the
| guests departed for their homes,
j thanking Mr. and Mrs. Early for
! their hospitality and wishing Mr. ^nd
Mrs. Gokie many, many years of
! health and happiness. ^
