Walsh's famous
miles will be with» us to^
borrow, Saturday, April, 24,
when he will appear at the
lewel Theatre in his latest
William Fox production, “Put
ting One Over,” a comedy
,lrama said to be full of mys
tery and thrills and crafty
croons. ___ . . .
While George Walsh is
known for his extraordinary
athletic prowess and his dare
devil nerve in taking chances
before the camera, he is also
a superb comedy actor, who
knows how to convulse an
audience with wholesome,
hearty laughter.
I» “Putting One Over” he
portrays the role of Jack Tre
vor, an unconscious tool of
criminals who are out to get
possession of an estate of im
mense value. When he dis
covers the conspiracy things
begin to get terribly un
pleasant for the crooks. The
story is said to be decidedly
original.
JIMERSON FOR SHERIFF
In our announcement col
um the voters of Woodruff
county will see the authorized
announcement of Walter Jim
erson for sheriff and collector,
subject to the Democratic pri
mary which will be held in
August.
Mr. Jimerson is one of our
most efficient young officials
and his two terms as county
treasurer and two terms as
county clerk makes him well
qualified for the office of
sheriff and collector which he
now seeks and if elected will*
make one of the best we have
ever had.
During his eight years at
the court house he has always
been found on the job, ready
at all times to serve his con
sistency.
Your vote and influence
which is solicited solely upon
bis merit will be highly ap
preciated and we bespeak for
Jimerson a careful con
sideration of his claims before
casting your vote.
