INVITE MINISTERS TO SHOW All ministers in the village are in- vited to attend, free of charge, the picture which will be shown at the Village theater next Monday and Tuesday, November 23 and 24. The film is "Thank You," which William Fox produced from the John Golden stage success under the direc- tion of John Ford. Appearing in the principal role of the picture, that of the small-town minister whose hardships and poverty form the basis for the story, is Alec B. Francis, veteran character actor of stage and screen. It is a part that "fits him like a glove." He gives a rare performance, investing the charac- ter of the patient, long-suffering man of the Gospel with a fidelity and sym- pathy seldom seen in pictures. And he manages to afford his audiences a chuckle now and then by his whim- sical philosophy under adversity. George O'Brien and Jacqueline Logan have the romantic leads of the picture, the latter being cast as Diane, niece of the pastor, and the former as Kenneth Jamieson, young city ex- collegian, who comes to the village to look after some property--and im- mediately forgets it in his sudden love for the delectable Diane! Both Mr. O'Brien and Miss Logan have roles that give them wide latitude for displaying their individual- ities and talents. Cast as the father of young Jamieson will be seen George Fawcett, and his performance always can be counted on to be without a flaw. He lives up to all expectations in "Thank You"-- which is saying enough. Another famous character actor ap- pearing in this picture is J. Farrell MacDonald, who won his first great fame as Corporal Casey in "The Iron Horse" but who has many other notable screen achievements to his credit. Then there is James Neill, remem- excellent portrayal of Aaron in: "The Ten Commandments." Mr. Neill, also a character actor of Newell. & Retchin The Monse of Harmony HOWARD Continuous 'Every Day--2:15 to 11:15 N. W.
