WEEKLY PROGRAM AT THE
COZY THEATRE
ration, in
erJfg,
in which
, Universal Pictures Corpora'
casting about for a good oflfe
selected “Young Desire’—in
• the carnival girl, Mary Nolan, makes
a break and does all she can, for
love’s sake. This picture will be
shown at the Cozy Theatre on Thurs-
day and Friday nights of this week;
The play might be justly termed “a
piognant romantic drama of an ex-,
tremely colorful aapect.” Much of its
action is laid in the bizarre atmos-
phere of a carnival; it tells of a
young and beautiful girl who is a
carnival dancer, who tires bf her sur-
rounding, and then comes into her
life romance, romance that thrills.
It’s good.
“Extravagance”—a wonderful les-
son ^in film showing, which pictures
the illusions of a wife who seems to
not understand that money isn’t ev-
erything. It takes time, there must
be an awakening, and it comes,- and
with a jolt at that. The picture is
ranked with the first of the past re-
leases, and features as the leading
star, June Collier, who is ably sup-
ported by Lloyd Hughes. The glimpse
cf the inner circle, and the disap-
pointments that are certain and pre-
cede the disillusioning of an extra-
vagant woman, all has a tendency to
make the play colorful, and yet not
destroy the lesson embodied in the
theme. This will be shown on next
Saturday night. Three showings are
to be made, the first at three o’clock
in the afternoon, the second at. six
o’clock, and the third at nine o’clock
at night. i .
For next Sunday and Monday
nights, “Beau Ideal”—recognized as
a sequel to that wonderful foreign
legion story, “Beau Geste”—3v!ll be
shown, and in this there Ls ffftored,
Loretta Young, Ralph Forbes and
Irene Rich, three good screen *t#rai
In the story a similar thertoe to- that
which was offered in “Beau Geste”
is shown, and in the showing there
is much of the gripping scenes that
fascinates the patrons. It require^!
many months to get the picture com-
pleted, and in the making great care
was taken to get the proper sur-
roundings, so that the foreign scenes
would correspond.
“The Right to Love”—a .picture
filmed after the book of the same
name—and which bdok httfc been read
by many of our people,'is billed for
next Tuesday and Wednesday, .In
this picture Ruth Chatterton and
Paul Lukas take the leads; the play
in a reproduction of the real drama
of life, a story of emotion, set in tnc
jtarm lands of the middle West, and
tell of a girl’s secret love trysts;
pathetic, interesting, appealing. And
played in a wonderful manner. A pic-
ture that excells many, And ploa*e»
thousands of patrons.

THE FORD SHOW <
. r » w>•. J.&Y !
When the Ford show was given at
Brenham 4evfefal weeks since, the
LaGrange Motor Company and the
Frede Motor Company * of Fayette-
ville had their representatives pres-
ent, and from that hour were bent on
having the show visit LaGrange. Suc-
ceeding, they also put in an order for
good weather and got it and for the
convenience of all who desired to see
the show, had the large tent placed
on the vacant lot opposite the Mag-
i olia Filling Station. From the hour
the parade about the public square
wu made on Monday there was a
constant stream of visitors, many of
them cording from the neighboring
towns, and they enjoyed the lecture,
the picture Show and the display of
cars.
Every make of the Ford plant,
from the roadster to the delivery
truck and delivery wagon—which in-
cluded the coupe, the several kinds
of Sedans and touring cars—was on
display, furnished by the LaGrange
Motor Company. And these cars ex-
cited the admiration of everyone.
Representatives from the LaGrange
Motor Company and the Frede Motor
Company of. Fayetteville, were con-
stantly mingling with the large num-
ber bf visitors and explaining the
virtues of the various kinds of motor
pars on display.
The picture show, with explana-
tion as the picture progressed, had
its regular crowd; a number of seats
were provided which were constahtly
occupied, and from morning until
late in the night the crowds came and
went. The arrangement in the in-
terior of the tent was classic; as one
entered they were greeted with a
friendly smile and asked to register;
few refused, if any. 'there was a
total registration of 7,061.
Admission to the show was “a
smile .and a willingness to see what
was tljere.” It is not necessary to
state that this was freely paid. And
when one gazed on the long array of
cajs displayed, and especially as the
half or sawed-in-two FWd, he could
not refrain comment. We bqli.eve that
this advertising method, very good
and,, wjth continuous newspaper ad-
vertising to follow, will keep the
pam$ .pf “Ford” very much alive.
’The force of representatives ac-
qpmpanying the ) Forfl Show are
drilled—if they will pardon the pun—-
ry the hour. They work in harmony, ,
ar/i have one thing constantly . in
imind, and that ia, to ta)k Ford^cars
and why they are serviceable.
