Wheeler & Woolsey, the comedy
team of “Dixiana” and “Rio Rita” in
“HALF SHOT AT SUNRISE”
It’s one of the most absurdly ridicul
ous, nonsensical messpots of assort
ed comedy that ever was cooked up
from celluloid. Two A. E. F. privates
madly A. W. O. L., in Paris. How
they get away with it is the story,
embellished with some of the fun
niest lines and situations ever de
vised.
Matinee Saturday 2:30; 10-25c; night
admission 10-40c.
Sunday, Mon., Tues., March 15-16-17
W’ill Rogers, in
“LIGHTNIN* ”
With Louise Dresser, Joel McCrea,
Helen Cohan, Sharon Lynn and J. M.
Kerrigan. Brilliant wit, flashing fun,
illuminating drama. Love that leads
to kisses and love that leads to Reno,
love that endures and love that flies
out the window—love that forgives
all and love that tells all to the
judge. You’ll find them all in this
wiseand witty comedy, with Will
Rogers as Doctor of Hearts.
Wednesday and Thurs., March 18-19

and H. B. Warner, in '

terious—Romance brings them to
gether—then? Romance knows no
code and a modern maid has to for
get she’s a princess—once in a while.

W. C. T. U. NOTES
The W. C. T. U. contest between
California, North, and the state of

contest is to be triangular; the state
securing the most new members by
Mother’s Day, being the end of the
national drive, wins the other state’s
flag. The state having the most new
unions will receive a prize of a silk
American flag, and for the state dis
tributing the most literature, a prize
from the losing state of it’s state i
flower, these emblems to be provided
for each delegate at the next state,
convention. California has the ad
vantage over Nebraska of near 200
members, the membership of Nebras-j
ka at this time being 7,070.
The W. C. T. U. local unions in

final plans were made by dividing the

Points are to be given for new mem
bers, attendance at meetings and for

C. T. U. ladies hope to show by the
close of this contest that a goodly
number of our O’Neill men are stand
ing by their slogan, “Law observance
and enforcement, not repeal.” “There
is No Place Like Nebraska,” and Ne
braska women generally get what
they go after, and even though they
fail to win California’s flag, they will
have the satisfaction of knowing they
made California work to win the Ne
braska flag.
