LUNA PARK

WIDELY PATRONISED Large crowds have attended the Luna Park Amusement Area every evening this week, and by all accounts the park has been even more popular this year than last. All the well-known permanent devices, such as the whip, dodg’ems, caterpillar, railway, and so on, are being well patronised, and a lot of attention has been given to the numerous side-shows. The new sid6-show attractions this year ar© the fascinatiny mystery entitled, "Death on the Guillotine,” in which a young lady is beheaded by the guillotine in full view of the audience; a clever trained monkey, “Cannon Ball Joe,” who drives his own motorcar; Margie Van Camp's trained pigs, which can do almost everything; and daredevil stunts on motor-cycles by the two Stalg brothers. The park will open again this evening and every evening this week. Fritz Lyons. German destroyer commander during the war, has been oast in the role of an English army officer in Paramount’s all-talkie, “Medals,” starring Gary Cooper. “Medals' was adapted from Sir James M. Barrie s plav, “The Old Lady Shows Her Medals.” The picture is now in production at the Lons Island studios.
