HALE HAMILTON MAKES
GOOD IN “THE FOUR
FLUSHER” AT EMPRESS
Some men are born to gamble,
some achieve it and others have gam
bling thrust upon them- But to be a
successful foui flusher, you must be
born to the game. And even then
you sometimes fall down, although
you think you are “putting it over”
cleverly.
Hale Hamilton, “the man that
makes you laugh,” believed that all
a young man needed to win out, was
a lot of assurance, energy, ability, ap
plication, good hard work counted for
nothing in his mind.
And at last came the big chance to
try his theory out. And he found that
bluff is all right, but it is not the:
only thing that spells success. His >
bluff was called and he had to make it
good. How he learned his lesson, and
in spite of a bad" start, made a
mighty good finish, furnishes the
story for the interesting comedy at
the Empress tonight, “The Four
Flusher.” A Pathe News and Educa
tional complete the program.
