Hoot Gibson in "Hit and Run" will be the first, and Richard Dix in "The Shock Punch," the second. "Hit and Run," which will be fea- tured at next Tuesday's performance along with an "Our Gang" comedy, will present Gibson in the role of a green "swat artist," a real Babe Ruth, of a team some place in the western desert where the ball park is merely a portion of the unending vista of castus and sagebrush. He is found by a "scout" and sent to the big league, where his inability to catch a ball makes him the laughing stock, until he knocks home run after home run against a veteran pitcher and wakes up to find himself famous. In "The Shock Punch," which comes to Community House next Friday, Richard Dix has the role of the scion of a wealthy family who, in a course in boxing to keep physically fit, de- velops a "shock punch." He is forced to use his knockout punch when, in an attempt to prove his daring, he takes a position as a structural iron worker. The other workers delight in teasing the embryo and force him to perform hazardous feats on iron beams as they are being hoisted to lofty heights. Ira S. Fisher (A tribute by Edwin Morley Stafford) His life was like a day that brings, With morning, noon and night, The shine and shower, the bird that sings The dawn and fading light, The 'hopeful, dewy, songful time With promises to fill, When midday marks the upward climb And starts the sunset hill. Toward the west, and shadows fall Where dew had freshed the dawn When echoed early manhood's call The upward path upon. He climbed a steep and rugged road, His feet the first to tread Some paths that, rough, defied his load But onward still he led. Nor turned the silent call to heed, That speaks to mortal man, Born in himself an tempts as need To bless his living span With ease the price of honor paid, The world might never know, But ease with honor's right betrayed He would not have it so. But stainless, held his westward way To meet the setting sun, v, beyond his mortal day, nless slumber fast, Mrs. Edgar Foster Alden was hos- tess to a large number of friends Wed- nesday, September 23, when she enter- 60 guests at a buffet luncheon and bridge in honor of Mrs. Walter Scott Bell of Cherry street, whose house guest, Miss Thompason, sang twc groups of songs accompanied by Miss Grace Yorkton. Miss Florence McQuire of the Sovereign hotel was also a guest of honor.
