Artists .Corporation release, to lie shown at tho ALin'jcipal Theatre-,■ Geraldine, on j | AVednesday and Thursday, has proven , ilint- if' given the • resources, none can surpass the master of “The Birth of j a Nation,’’ . “Way Down East,’’ “Broken Blossoms,” and half aJ hundred other successes, in making | .screen entertainment. And never has ho made a more entertaining work than is “Sally of the Sawdust.” Laughter bubbles throughout. It begins to rollick gaily about tbe circus tent where the great Prof. Aft-Gargle, juggler and rogue extraordinary, is about his merry affairs, attended by his ward, Sally, as audacious and loyal a companion as is given to man. It thrives when the circus goes broke, and Sally and tho Professor board the blind baggage to got .to the carnival town where the great drama awaits Sally. And it hursts into fullest spray near the close when AlcGargle mounts, without permission, the steering scat of a Ford car, in the maddest, funniest race that has greeted the screen in v cars.
