MUNICIPAL THEATRE

"COME CLOSER FOLKS" is "JUSTICE OF THE RANGE." If you want to laugh and fOrget your troubles, go to the Municipal Theatre and enjoy one of the real comedy riots of the motioil picture season. It is "Come Clo'ser, Folks," Col-umbia release, featuring James Dunn and Marian Marsh, screening to-night. James Dunn enaets the starring role, that of a typieal side-walk salesnian, who makes a living selling phoney watches for £5. A .female colleague, played by Wynne Gibson, gives Jimmy the idea of taking an entirO company of salesmen on the road and invadiug small towns with their big-city, highpressure salesmanship. With his pal, played by George McKay, in tow, Dunn leads the band of salesmen into Stone City. There Dunn falls foul of Mirian Marsh, who is managing behind a pair of forbidding spectacles, her irresponsible father's department store, Her having him arrested gives him the idea of cashing in on the set-up. Dunn throws over the troupe of salesmen and applies himself to the task of malring a racket' of a department store. Complications from this point on are many and varied, with a romance ber.ween Dunn and his intended victim, Miss Marsh, worlcing gently into the story. It is a tale that should afford a good deal of merriment. Second feature at the Municipal is "Justice of the Range," with Tim McCoy in the le.acjing role.
