Mail Tribune 100: Aug. 28, 1916 Sunday Aug 28, 2016 at 12:01 AM Aug. 28, 1916 'THE NO-GOOD GUY' FEATURED AT PAGE For today and tomorrow at the Page the Triangle-Ince picture will be William Collier in "The No-Good Guy." The play, a five-reel comedy-drama, is the first of its kind in which this famous Broadway star has ever appeared, and the result is a full hour and a half of comedy so clever that you will find yourselves slapping each other on the shoulder in mutual admiration of the amusing situations. For years William Collier has been famous on Broadway for his droll manner, his clean comedy and his faculty for drawing a laugh from an entire house without cracking a smile himself. All of this ability is intensified and magnified on the screen. Here he is not limited by the width or depth of a wooden stage — by three or four acts each of a single scene. There are hundreds of different scenes in "The No-Good Guy" and the action is quickly carried all over the city, indoors and out — from a thrilling barroom fight in one section to a mad automobile ride through a plate-glass window in another. All who have seen Collier know how comical he really can be and need not be told that he will produce more laughter than has ever been heard for many a day. LOCAL AND PERSONAL The Southern Oregon Parent Educational Bureau located at the library will be opened for the first fall meeting next Saturday, September 2, at 2:20 p.m. The meeting will be in charge of the Roosevelt Parent Teacher Circle and will consist of a short program, followed by a social hour. These meetings are free to the public and those interested in the problems of the home and school are especially invited. On account of the high humidity, Medford people suffered more from the heat than on Saturday when the thermometer reached 106. There was a general exodus to the parks and river. G. R. Williams of Eugene spent last Monday morning in Medford, later going to Crater Lake in his car.
