"W-jli's Clothing," tho main attraction at the G-raiid Theatre this week, is a film oi aonia special merit. The story from (ho pen of Arthur Roche is weird, and has been iilmcd with a cleverness that is art in itself.

Monte Blue is scon working as a subway conductor, lie has been there three years,, and has not had a night off. lie yearns for one, and is granted it on Now Year's Eve. He wishes to break out from his environment and emulate the society gentlemen -with, their evening dress and tophats. As he is leaving the station he is knocked- down by a passing, motorist.
