contrary. Johnnie lirccn often had to
pull ipiiie hard upon the reins to
keep him from gouitf loo fact. Ami,
wlvn a lary mood came over Twin

whip in its socket was enough to
scud TwinklchccU forward with a

When Johnnie rode him, he never
had to give Twinklchecl a cut with
his riilimr whip. Just a tourh of it
was all that was needed if Twinkle

Johnnie as to where they should f?o.
Well, on a certain summer's day,
after school was out, Johnnie Green
decided to ko fishing in Black Creek.
His mother made him a luncheon to
take with him, he du some angle

hired man consented to let him take

Then Johnnie backed Twinklchecls

a horseback race. And he didn't

"I don't want M bother with the

.February 16, 1922.
Dear Patrons;
It is not often that there comes to the screen such an en
tertaining and interesting picture of behind the scenes as
"AT THE STAGE DOOR." ,
There is a lot in the picture that will make you glad you've
seen it There' a story which Wm. Christy Cabanne himself
wrote, that is about just such folks as we see on 16th street
every day. They're human, likable folks in a human, likable
story.
Remember little Miriam Battista, who was in "Humor
esque!" She's in the cast;, so is "Billy" Dove,' famous Zeig-.
feld beauty, and Wm. Collier, jr., and Myrtle Vaughn, and
Charles Craig and Vivian Ogdcn of "Way Down East" fame.
"AT THE STAGE DOOR" will be shown at the Empress,
three days, starting today. If you can arrange to see an after
noon performance, you will have less difficulty in getting just
the seat you like best.
Cordially yours, '
W. L. LEDOUX, Manager.
