Compensation for Dark Days
"There are not many happinesses
so complete as those that are snatch.
ed under the shadow of the sword."
Some of life's brightest blossoms
bloom along its hardest ways, and
looking back on days of poverty, sick
ness and hardship we often see the
that we have ever known. Anyone may
choicest treasures of, love and loyalty
share our joys with us, but the one
who shares our trials comes close in

"My A. B. A. Cheques were just as good as gold and twice
as andy-negotiable at any time and anywhere," says a
well known lecturer and-writer on travel topics.
He carries "A. B. A." Cheques because he knows they are
everywhere accepted and because they are safe. Until the
owner has placed his countersignature on each Cheque in
the presence of the person accepting them, they are useless
to a finder or thief, if lost or stolen.

ience and safety of these Cheques.

-I When we go into a theatre, that is
g scienticly ventilated today, a mod
d ern theatre, where pictures are pro-i
n jected by expert projectionists, and
r' each picture presented with a musical
score, and the theatre is artificially
,lighted, with a usher to show you to
g a seat, a real honest to goodness com-.
e fortable seat, try and realize the great
h strides the motion picture industry has
r- made in the past ten years.
e Ten years ago, we could have bought
%t sugar, fifty per cent less than we pay
today. The price has increased, but
d the quality remains the same. Now
e in the moving picture the prices has
r- increased a trifle, but the quality is
s 100 per cent better.
STry and realize this when you visit'
h a modern theatre.
EDITORIAL COMMENTS

Advertising experts will tell you
e that in the gentle whisper there lies
e the power of a thousand trumpets
r blown by the stately couriers of a
! royal court.
• A standard of proved excellence,
like sweet memories of a midsummer
night's dream, needs but the dawn of
r days to echo its realization to an ap
r preciative and hopeful audience.
The audience that come to the
I Princess theatre, have whispered
words around, that are not unfamiliar
I with us, .knowing .the products that i
we exhibit. These audiences, wisely
seeing the standard of the product,
we exhibit, have exchanged confidence
right in the calm of a crowd in our
lobby. They have learned to one side,
shaded their mouth with the palm of
their hand, and whispered: "Why is
it that we always see a good picture at -
the Princess."
There's a reason why. We always r
exhibit a good picture. The reason is
for three years we know exactly the
best quality. Having been with you
for three years. we know, exactly the
kind of pictures you- want to see!
When motion pictures stand up and
pass the test day in and day out;
when unbiased critics point to those 4
productions as models of capable and 4
ifuture construction, pulsating plots 4
and brillant enactment, producers and
directors, who know how to produce,
that Belasconian genius to translate
into understandable animated form
from the very heart of life as it hap
pily, tragically gorgeously happenings 4
belongs to only those famous directors j
who know human nature, and whose
superior knowledge and tremendous
resources are concentrated to the ful
filment of all that is demanded by the
whispering audiences, which after all,
represent the greatest tribunal in the e
court of popular opinion! Then you
may realize why we show a good pict- "
ure every day!
