Uneducated, with no refinement of taste and with only a beautifully moulded face to differ entiate her from the other flower girls, and only scenes of strifo and turmoil to look back upon when en tering the miserable place that was homo to her, it is small wonder that she seized the first opportunity to live more luxuriously and failed to weigh the cost of her action. "We cannot ixpect a girl who was brought up in such an environment as that to develop any great refinement of taste and as a matter of fact, Sanho does not. It is only that she craves luxury to a greater and great er degree and it is this love of the beautiful and craving for amusement that lead her farther and farther afield. Never having been taught right and wrong,' sho fails to realize that there is of necessity a barrier between her and the height of her ambitions. "What we have tried to do in this production, is to catch the spirit of the real Sapho of whom there are thousands in real life and put it on tho screen. There are many dis crepancies between this story and the original, but this was necessary in order to avoid the over-realistic ef fect of the French original and also to avoid the depressing effect of the unhappy ending. That is why the 'Sapho' of the screen will be a dif ferent one from tho book or play, while at the same time, wo hope we have caught the spirit of this cele brated French girl." "Sapho" is the Paramount picture at the Arcade theatre Friday and Saturday of this week.

PAULINE FREDERICK I N "SAPHO" FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. In speaking of the adaptation of Daudet's internationally famous story "Sapho," which he directed re-, cently for the Famous Players, with beautiful Pauline Frederick in the title role, Hugh Ford said: "In treat ing the very interesting story of 'Sapho,' we have tried to show cause and effect it is not enough to know that Sapho led a very picturesque life, we must know why she did so. and .by glimpsing her early life we soon see the answer to our question. Before she became famous as Sapho, this girl was Fanny Legrand, the daughter of a disreputable coachman, and a typical flower-girl in the streets of Paris, picking up odd bits Here is the girl's own story: "For years I had dyspepsia, sour stomach and constipation. I drank hot water and olive oil by the gallon. Notning helped until I tried buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Adler-i-ka. One spoonful helped me instantly." 'Because Adler-i-ka flushes the entire : alimentary tract it relieves any case of constipation, sour stomach or gas and prevents appendicitis. It has quickest action of anything we ever sold.
