HEILIO The first public showing in
in this city of the picture "The End
of the Road.' starring Richard Ben
nett and Qlaire Adams, takes place next
Wednesday night at 7 p. in. at the
Heilig theatre, where continuous per
formances will be given three days,
from 1 until 11 o'clock. The picture takes
nearly two hours to project. This picture
was prepared as part of the campaign
to combat avoidable sex diseases. It
handles certain social and sex prob
lems in their relation to women with a
frank statement which is a direct con
sequence of a new attitude engendered
by recent events which have disturbed
.the emotional equilibrium of the people
and have tended to multiply the in
tricacies of Hex reactions.

and is promised the hand of Cleopatra
in marriage, but, unluckily for " him. the
Nile rises too much and causes an over

ordered, he promptly sentences the fakir
to death once more. Kibosh, however,
