DO CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN

Many a girl has discovered that a fellow who looked like a Beau Brummel in a khaki uniform is quite an ordinary looking person now that he has doffed the uniform for “civvies.” If the girl happens to.have married the fellow in the meantime, the discovery may be a real tragedy. In “Civilian Clothes,” in which Thomas Meighan is appearing at the local theatre on Monday, the situation develops into a jolly comedy. The hero proves very emphatically that clothes don’t make the man, and in the end the .pretty heroine, played by Martha Mansfield, is quite ready to agree with this.

HOOT GIBSON IN “THE FIRE

EATER.”

Hoot Gibson, comes to the Maoriland on Saturday as “The Fire Eater.” “Smilin’ Bob” Corey and his partner, jitii O’Neil, rangers, hope to make a “peaceful penetration” into Paradise Valley, ih which Lamar, a notorious lumber thief, and the uneducated settlers, are fast robbing the mountains and valleys of their pristine glory. But they find themselves objects of hatred, and Corey is despised by the girl he falls in love with. A “bad” man of the greaser type and low calibre is sent after Corey, but the latter bests, him in a fight and forces him to tell some of the secrets of Omar. From then on it is a hot fight tb convince the people that rangers are not “snakes” and that promiscuous timber cutting is ruining their valley.
