LOCAL BOY EXTRAS
IN TWO PICTURES

Gene "Beany" Jenkins, who has just returned from a six months' visit in Hollywood, is Grinnell's latest addition to the moving picture world, and although Gene isn't any Gary Cooper he may be seen in the "Connecticut Yankee," which is being shown at the Colonial tonight and in "East Lynne," which starts tomorrow night at the Colonial. Gene worked as an "extra" in the "Connecticut Yankee" and can be seen in one of the scenes where machine gun men stormed the castle. Will Rogers stars in "Connecticut Yankee" and Ann Harding, Clive Brook and Conrad Nagel star in "East Lynne." Both are fine pictures.
