Mary Garden in Princess Feature.
JTorlicr debut in pictures. Mary Garden
appeared in "Tl^ais," which is
showing at the Princess, and her impersonation
of the "fairest rose in
Alexandria" on the scretn is equally
as impressive as her famous interpretation
of the role in opera. Miss Garden's
performance throughout was uotable
for its simplicity and power and
In the final scenes she reached draniat

B?X the highest rank.
"Thais" is Goldwyn's most pretentious
offering" and the production
f stands as one of the finest screen presentations
of the year. The utmost
cafe has been used in directing the picture.
Scenes of ancient Alexandria
have been reproduced with accuracy
and tbose showing the feasts of the
nobles have been mounted most lavishly.
Indeed, it is just such productions
as "Thais" that confuse and route the
^ critics of the motion picture industry
* as an art.
The story takes up the life of Thais
f' as the widely known courtesan of the
early ages and follows her career
through, her triumphant days as the
j reigning beauty to her death as a penitent
and humble nun.
As Paphnutius, Hamilton Revelle
Tpi contributed excellent support. He was
at all times convincing and gave a
graphic performance as the savior of
Thais. CraufonJ Kent was splendid
as Lolius and Charles Trowbridge acted
with distinction the role of Nicius.

combined with tlifc best of recent popular
music, this is the promised climax
of the local season of popular priced
amusement.
The local management has satisfied
Itself with the merit of this attraction
. by correspondence and telephonic commuincation
with many other theatrical
managers where the attraction
has been a big hit and justifies every
pleasurable anticipation as to the merits
and attractiveness of the Musical
Merry Makers, not only in a musical
but in a social way. There are girl
shows and girl shows, but none compares

i fights ever filmed. Benjamin Chapin,

I who tried to steal Tom's farm. The
: hoy who played young "Abe" was a
"regular kid." a natural actor frora
New York. When the fight began in
front of the camera. "Abe" forgot
where he was. All he knew was that
his film father was putting up a great

Change at the Hipp Today.
Hal ,Hoyt is putting on a new bill at
the Hippodrome today, where his "All
Americans" have delighted big audij
ences the first two days of the week.
! Besides Miss Anna Stein. Mr. Hoyt.
j Capman and Mooney. who will appear
in specialties, the rest of the company
i has a number of surprises in the new
bill which is called "Somewhere in
; America." Mr. Wilcox made a decid *

?Chester -Conklin. who plays the
j leading role in "His Hidden Purpose,"
| the new Paramount-Mack Sennett cornj
cdy, now showing at the Nelson the!
atre. pursues his fun making with a
! heart full of anguish. He has one eye
on the camera and the other on the
sky. Rain is needed badly in California
just now. Conklin has a bean
ranch?the conclusion is obvious. UnI
less rain coinCS soon there w-ill be no
| beans and in these days?well, it's no
wonder the comedian is sad even as he
: strives to please.
?Th^hardest test of a motion picj
ture. is its Broadway. New York, run.
' Broadway insists upon being enter
j taincd. Benjamin Chapin's "The So:;
of Democracy." presented by Para
J mount, has stod this test. The Strand
j New York's best known motion pici
ture theatre, showed Mr. Chapin's picj
tures for one week with such -success
I that they were taken immediately to
; The Globe, a "letigimate" house, where
they played to big houses for 233 per
formane'es.
?Hal Hoyt is a real good lookitr
darkey. If we were he we would kce
"camouflaged" all the time, just fc.
. the sake of being good looking.
' ?When the bottle was passed
around for .the last time everybody said
"No thanks." It was empty. This
i isn't what you're thinking. It's a bit
that Hal Hoyt is putting into a new
bill he is framing.

Get Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
That is the joyful cry of thousands
since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets,
thd substitute for calomeL
Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for
17 years and calomel's old-time enemy,
discovered the formula for Olive Tablets
while treating patients far chronic constipation
and torpid livers.

contain calomel, bat a healing, soothing
vegetable laxative.
No griping is the "keynote" of these
little sugar-coated, olive-colored tablets.
They cause the bowels and liver tc act
normally. They never force them to
unnatural action.
If you have a "dark brown mouth" now
and then ? a bad breath ? a dull. tired
feeling?sick headache?torpid Over and

terrible headache, backache, and bearingdown
pains, and would just drag and
had no appetite. Then... it would last
... two weeks, and was so weakening,
and my health was awful
My mother bought me a bottle of
Cardui, and I began to improve after
taking the first bottle, so kept it up til! I
took three... I gained, and was well
and strong, and I owe it all to Cardui.
I am married now and have 3 children
. .. Have never had to lave a doctor for'
female trouble, and just resort to Cardui
if I need a tonic. ' I am glad to testify to
what it has done for me, so as to help
others."
If you are nervous or weak, have headaches,
backaches, or any of the other
ailments so common to women, why not
give Cardui a trial? Recommended by
many physicians. In use over 40 years.
Begin taking Cardui today. It may
be the very medicine you need.
