"ROOKIES."

A SERIES OF LAUGHS. A "Rookie" is a species of soldier. But why be concerned with just what he is, when all.that thoae interested in "Bookies" will be ooncerned about is the immense humour, sly wit, and really clever comedy of the picture. This Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production will be presented at the Liberty Theatre next week, and unblushingly la proclaimed, if not the funniest of all very funny pictures exhibited locally during the last year, it is in the first flight thereof. George K. Arthur, who has been seen in some exquisitely humorous parts in such films as "Kiki" and "Her Sister from Paris," plays the chief Rookie, or Citizen Trainee, and Karl Dane plays the Ser-geant-in-Commond, who pursues, like »" unrelenting Fury, the unhappy recruit.
