AMUSEMENTS.
LIBERTY THEATRE. "Special Delivery" is the principal picture showing at the Liberty Theatre this week. Eddie Cantor was a misfit, according to his father. Eddie got into the secret service, and it was considered by his father the service's greatest secret how he got there. "Don't come home till you have rounded up Blackie Morgan," warned his father. Eddio did not, and the story of how he camo to round up Blackie is an entertaining one. " There is no doubt about the worth ot "Special Delivery" as a comedy, and Eddie Cantor as a comedian. His doings are so genuinely foolish that one cannot but ripple with laughter. Not only this, but they are amazingly clever. Miss Jobyna Ralston, as the feminine lead, does not have a big part, but her exhibition is a first-class one. William Powell, as the "bad man" Blackie, gives a convincing interpretation of his part. For a display of sheer dare-devil exploits, a Mermaid comedy, the supporting picture, would be hard to beat. Seldom have so many thrills been crowded into so short a space as in this picture.
