GRAND
“ROOKIES” A last opportunity is offered patrons of the Grand Theatre of seeing “Bookies.’ The story tells of the doings at a citizens’ military training camp, and centres round the adventures of a raw trainee and a very tough sergeant, who tread on each other’s corns at every possible moment in their endeavours to “get square” with each other. It is crammed full of screamingly funny incidents, a particularly good thrill being provided by a balloon ascent, wherein the raw rookie proves that the heroes are sometimes wrapped up in small and funny packets. Betty Wayne, a piquant little sundae shopkeeper, is largely responsible for the unsoldierly antagonism between the sergeant and the recruit, and just thrills with the knowledge of this keen 11 Marceline Cay provides the female interest, in the role of the little sundae Shopkeeper, whom all the boys adore, and Tom O’Brien, Lincoln Steadman, Trvnnk Currier, Louise Lorraine ana. Charles Sullivan are at the head of a very talented cast.
