GREAT MYSTERY SOLVED
Delightful, piquant Billie Burke, in
er latest Paramount picture, "The
Mysterious Miss Terry," is as whim
sically charming as ever and from
the very first scene that flashes
across the screen, the picture holds
the breathless attention and interest
of the spectator.
"The Mysterious Miss Terry" is an
adaptation of a story by Gelett Bur
gess, the well-known author and hu
morist, and marks his entrance into
the field of photoplay writing.
It will be at the Arcade today and
tomorrow.
Billie Burke, as Mavis Terry, clev
erly demonstrates a novel method of
finding both happiness and a hus
band. The latter she does by a pro
cess of slimination, that is, she goes
incognito to a nearby boarding hon3e
where ihe takes up the life of an or
dinary -working girl although she ia
io reality an heiress. Here she meets
three young men who promptly fall
in love with her.
E;h of them is poor and strug
gling for a living, although iar super
ior to the types of idle young men she
has known in hkr former sphere.
Finding out the secret ambitions of
each she is able to gratify them and
thus discover which is really worth
while and in earnest . ' '
I naccomplishing this purpose, the
determined young heroine involves
herself in many thrilling and humor
ous situations such as a narrow es
cape from being arrested for robbing
her own house, and later for giving
away some of her own gorgeous
gowns. Humorous episode and thrill
ing adventure follow in rapid succes
sion upon the heels of each other un
til a fascinating and unexpected de
nouement takes place which clears
the atmosphere and gives just the
right "happy ending." The production
was made under the direction of .T.
Searle Dawley, famous as the dire-
tor of the Marguerite Clark produc
tions including such notable ones as
"Snow White," "The Vatentine Girl,"
"Mollv-Make - Believe." "Mice and
Men," "Silks and Satins" and others.

Get Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
That is the Joyful cry of thousands
lnce Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets,
- the 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 for chronic coa
tipation and torpid livers.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, but a healing, soothing
vegetable laxative.
No griping is the "keynote" of these
little sugar-coated, olive-colored tablets.
They cause the bowels and liver to act
normally. They never force them to
unnatural action.
If you have a 'Mark brown mouth" now
and then a bad breath a dull, tired
feeling sick headache torpid liver and
are constipated, you'll find quick, sure and
only pleasant results from one or two lit
