FAMOUS HALL CAINE
NOVEL IS PICTURIZED
A magnificent picturization of
“The Woman Thou Gavest Me,” by 1
Hall Caine, the most famous novel
by the Manx aucior, will be seer at
the Alcazar theater next Monday.
High Ford, tne "f the most exieii
enced of stage and screen producers,
went to California to make the pic
ture with a, powerful cast which in
cludes Katherine MacDonald, Milton
Sills, Theodore Roberts, lack Holt.
Fritzi Brunette, Katherine! Griffith
and others.
“The Woman Thou Gavest Me”
was produced upon the stage by Der
went Hall Caine, son of the author,
in 1917, in Boston with success As a
novel it outsold all other works of
Hall Caine.
As a picture it doubtless will prove
one of the screen’s greatest triumphs.
The tremendous story of Mary’s
I struggles after being sacrificed upon
I the altar of wedlock to a man she
hates is unforgettable, and as the
story covers a wide field—Egypt Af
rica, India, England and the South
Polar regions—it will be not only
powerful dramatically, but colorful
and fascinating in every other way.
The production has practically an
all-star cast of players. Miss Mac-
Donald. a prime favorite, has the
leading feminine role, and Jack Holt
has one of the best roles of his screen
career. Admission 10c and 20c.

I Rebuilt Cars
For Sale
Every one of these cars is guaranteed just as represented
and to contain the maximum of value. Some of them have
been run only a few thousand miles—just enough to get
their engines in the best sort of shape, and all have been
thoroughly gone over by our expert mechanics and put
into fine shape for immediate use. Mark the distinction. »
between “used cars" and “rebuilt automobiles.” These
are rebuilt and will give good service, with careful handl
ing, as long as a new car.
We trade in those cars which represent an actual value,
and in passing these on to our friends who choose to pur
chased a used car, the profit goes to the buyer. We do not
charge one penny more than the actual cost of rebuilding
used cars, and the profit that other dealers take for handl
ing used cars is passed direct to our customers in this de
partment. Look over this list and let us tell you more
about the car you prefer. Maybe there are some good
points you’d like to know more about.
