SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 194%, AMUSEMENTS What the Press Agents Say About Coming Attractions "A Game Chicken" Novel Picture Several striking novelties are fea- tures of "A Game Chicken," Bebe Daniel's new picture at the Allen Theatre, commencing Monday. = It is & pioneer among comedy-dramas, dealing with the boot-legging "'in- dustry."

Then, for the first time you see Bebe Daniels mas- | querading as a boy. She does her hair differently than ever before; in fact, some say that the real novelty of the picture is the fact that, for the first time in screen history, Bebe Daniels shows her ears!
