EVERYBODYS PIGTURES.

“WE’RE IN THE NAVY NOW —FRIDAY.

Eclipsing their superb performances in “ .Behind the Front,” Wallace Beer.t and Raymond Hatton march to smashing victory in their latest Paramount co-starring comedy, We’re in the Navy Now,” which comes to the Prill cess Theatre on Friday. “ We’re in the Navy Now ” is the most truthful excruciating funny tale of the war yet portrayed on any screen and the enjoyment evidenced by all who have seen it established new laughter records. Nary a naval comedy situation has been left out of this picture. Big battle scenes showing all manner of ships, hydroplanes and submarines lend a spectacular force. Portrayed by an unusual east, the laughable side of the navy has been played to the limit umlei Edward Sutherland’s direction. The story deals with the adventures of a pugilist, Beery; and his manager, Hat ton. Literally knocked out of tlu prize ring, they land in a whirlpool provided by the World War. And never was there such a pair of green gobs 1 Chester Conklin scores a personal triumph as the transport captain, while Tom Kennedy, the chief petty officer, adds to the fun. A love theme involving beautiful Lorraine Eason and Donald Keith, runs right through the hectic experiences encountered by Beery and Hatton.

The supports on. Friday are a. topical,' serial (“The Silent Flyer”) and a comedy.

On Monday and Tuesday next the great feature “ Ben Hur,” will be presented.
