“DO YOUR DUTY."

Charlie Murray rises from the ranks to a police lieutenant’s stripes, is demoted and then, wins back his chevrons in “Do Your Duty,” the rollicking comedy that comes to the Maoriland Theatre on Saturday. It is a First National picture directed by William Beaudine and pretty Boris Da,wson plays the feminine lead, with Chariie Delaney opposite her. Murray is framed by crocks in the story. He appears to have been drunk on duty and is demoted. Then he catches the crooks and regains his lost glory. But meanwhile his daughter is being married and he hides his temporary disgrace by subtle manoeuvres. In these he .ie abetted by a Scotch tailor and finally wins out with nobody in his family the wiser.

“SLIGHTLY USED.” No picture of the year has received more hearty chuckling approval than that rollicking story of youth and love, “Slightly Used” with May McAvoy and Conrad Nagel, directed for Warner Bros, by Archer L. Mayo and coming to the local theatre next Monday. It recounts the astonishing adventures of a young lady, who, nagged by her sisters for refusing to marry, invents a husband, who suddenly, appears, and claims her, when she has fallen in love with some one else and wishes, to be rid of her marital encumbrance. A gay, hilarious story—for all who are young, or ever have been young.
