"People stare at me." he explained. "Ever since I found the money In Wall Street they stare at me all the time. "That's why I killed him. "I killed three today, but I had a bad day.

Iff With a cast that fairly sparkles with stage and screen personalities, "Mills of the Gods." will head the new program at the Rialto theatre for today and Monday. The picture should be of great Interest to all theatre-gorrs aa It deals with a mod ern, topical theme. May Robson, veteran screen trouper, hs the starring role that of the owner of a large plow com pany. When she Is confronted with bankruptcy and the possibility of closing the mill, thus throwing hun dreds of employees out of work, then does Mary Hastings solve a problem employers face in the country today keeping the mill open and out of the red. Fay Wray and James Blakely are seen as the two extravagant grand children who are brought to reallrc that money Isn't everything. Miss Wray adds a new type of a role to her record. She la the last word In 1 sophistication. James Blakely, lm- j ported from the New York stage, plays his flrat major role In this pic- ! ture. He Is seen as the adoring j brother of Miss Wray.

Troop No. 16 By Irwin Doty: Final plans were made for the Father and Son banquet by the Scouts of Troop No. 16 for those who are going to at tend. Practically all of the boys are going because of the fun and fellow ship which they have at an affair such as this.

SCREEN REVIEW "Liittie miss Marser," me plcturlza tlon of Damon Runyon's widely-read magazine story of the same name, opens today at the Roxy theatre, with Adolphe Menjou, porothy Dell, Charles Blckford and five-year-old Shirley Temple in the principal roles. The story Is a sentimental yarn of s litle girl left as security for a rac ing bet. By Olrk Applegate When a panther and a deer live In perfect harmony from babyhood to maturity without the panther de vouring the deer, that's news. But when photographers film an entire picture where Just that does occur, that's news that should be shouted abroad throughout the country. Yet that Is Just what happens in "Se quela," the picture which closed at the Craterlan last night. It la really quite the most unusual and beautiful thing of Its kind that I have ever seen. The photography Is startling and splendidly done. Every shot In the picture, If made Into a "sun ' would be suitable for fram ing. And the plot moves swiftly and smoothly through to Ha unusual climax. It la absolutely unbelievable that the scenes appearing In the picture could ever be obtained, yet there they are. Most ahows In which ani mals play the lead are so blatantly faked as to appear ridiculous, but not so in this, if some of the pictures are faked, It Is Impossible to detect where, and I for one, don't think that they were. Years of patient waiting must have been spent In obtaining the proper effects. IX you happen to be a deer hunter, the picture will probably make you feel a bit guilty. While deer hunting last year, I took several shots at deer, but I'm glad now, or at least almost so, that I'm such a lousy marksman. Practically living with a deer for most of Its life span, aa one docs In "Sequoia," Is apt to make one feel that way. Jean Parker plays the feminine lead, and does so very well, but her part la very subservient to that play ed by the wild animals. The picture ANOTHER DIRECT FROM FACTORY SALE!

And those two words are as welcome as they are familiar, for they form a bond of confidence between the merchant and yourself. They are his guarantee to you of worth and value. Here is an article that has been described in your newspaper. Its merits have been told; possibly, too, its price. You know , exactly what you will get when you buy it. You know its quality, its utility; you know how it fits into your needs. And when you buy it, you know you are getting not some unproved substitute but the specified article as represented. , It is easy to understand why that phrase, "as advertised," creates a feeling of confidence. You have learned to depend upon consistently advertised products. You know that the maker has confidence in them, else he would not spend money calling your attention to them day after day, and month after month. You know that they have been approved by the most critical of Inves tigatorsthe buying public. And above all you know from ex perience that buying goods "as adertised" is the best investment you can make. It pays to read the advertisements.
