MUNICIPAL THEATRE

VJBACK TO NATURE" AND "MELODY OP THE PLAINS" Merrily rolling along on a vacation on wheels, the liappy-scfappy Jones Family fill the wide open spaces with fun and hilarity in their latest — aud best — Twentieth Century-Eox hit, "Back to Nature," which screens at the Municipal Theatre to-night'. Featuring Jed Prouty, Shirley Deane, Dixie Dunbar, Tony Martin, Syring Byingtou, Kenneth Howell, George Ernest, June Carlson, Floience Roberts and Billy Mahan, the picture is a hilarious narrative of the Jones' vacation — which they take on the open road in an automobiie trailer. The film opens with Dad Jones beamingly announcing to his family that he is going to Tranquil Lake while they spend their vacation at a backwoods farm. At tho concerted roar of protest which grects this announcemont, Dad gives in wcakly and agrees to buy a now automobiie trailer and take tlie wliolo family to Ihe convention. The second attraction on the present programme showing at tlie Munir cipal, is "Melody of the I'lains." This is a melody-laden, fast action Western druma, packed tight with real entertamment. Fred Seott, "The Sjnging Buckaroo," is the star, and this ucw screen personalily possesses not only the abiiity to nde and light in th* iitting "Western munner, but he also = has a hue baritone voice, and this is hcard to outstanding advantage in ■ "Melody of the Plains."
