AMUSEMENTS
OPERA HOUSE—TO-DAY-
Jackie Coogan has appeared before his millions of admirers in many guises, but never in a military role as “The Bugle Call,” a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture, which the Opera House Theatre will present to-day, matinee and night. In this gripping outdoor drama, the juvenile genius plays the part of a bugle boy under his father’s command on the frontier in the days of the early west. SUNDAY- NIGHT Ken Maynard, popular western star of “The Unknown Cavalier,” “Senior Daredevil” and “The Overland Stage,” comes back to the' Opera House on Sunday night at the picture benefit in a new cowboy romance called “The Devil’s Saddle.” The story deals with life among the white settlers in Indian land. Kathleen Collins is featured opposite the Lothario of the cow country. MONDAY AND TUESDAY “Oh! What a Nurse!” the new Syd. Chaplin picture which comes to the Opera House Theatre on Monday for a run of two nights, is said to be one of the funniest pictures ever screened. Critics agree it is funnier than “Charley’s Aunt” or “The Man on the Box.” The picture was written by Robert E. Sherwood, editor of ‘Life’ and Bertram Bloch. It concerns the mad adventures of a newspaper reporter, forced into the garments of a bootleg queen.
COBDEN CLUB’S DANCE
Dancing enthusiasts are reminded that a hearty welcome and a good flight’s enjoyment awaits them at the Cobden Football Club’s dhort-night old-time dance in the School Gymnasium on Monday, August 27. Some people say old-time dances are things of tlhe past, so roll up and let them see they are mistaken. The Committee want to see all enjoy themselves, and are sure all wish to keep the Club’s insurance fund in a strong position. Good patronage of thus first dance will
give the Committee the necessary encouragement to run them regularly.
PL UNKET CA BARET
The whole town is talking about next Tuesday’s Cabaret in Harley’s new buildings, under the auspices ot>the Pluiiket Soiety. Although it is the
