speak in Lancaster on March
11. The address is to be heard in
the Methodist church and all other

Patterson is doing valiant serv.ee for

that he will speak to a crowded
house when he comes to Lancaster.
The news that Julian Giles, a Lancaster
boy, is to be seen in "Tea

goers and when this same picture
was shown here for the first timo,
"many people were unable to secure
ientrance to the theatre building and
! Manager Parr therefore booked the
lproduction for a return engagejtnent.
Mr. Parr has announced that
he nas made a radical improvement
I in his service and hereafter he will
show two Metro pictures, two William
Fox productions and one World
picture each week. He believes that
