ROBERT WARWICK
IN THE DOLLAR MARK
Auditorium Friday Night, Nov. 18th

In the big dam scene in the World
Film Corporation release of Robert
Warwick in THE Dollar Mark" motion
piCturedom has one of the most reals
tic scenes ever attempted and success
fully carried out so that the spectator
is held breathleSS until James Gresham
and Alice Chandler are safe from the
raging waters. The sensational scene
starts with the two principals in Jim'S
cabin, just below the big dam, on the
river bank. The rain has been falling
so long that the river is swollen and
the rushing waters finally break over
the dam and cause it to give away.
The waters burst through so conVinC.
ingly, that one reviewer said that he
could almost hear the waters roaring.
They sweep on to the cabin, which is
carried along on the flood. Jim and
Alice are able to float down on one side
of the cabin, until at length, nearly at
the end of their strength, they find
haven near an oVerhanglng branch TO
this Jim is able to tie himself and hold
last until help comes.
The impression that the scene makes
is so lasting that no one is able to leave
their seats until the entire picture is
shown. 1t is the sort of picture that
quickenS the pulses and send the blood
through the arteries, at an accelerated
rate.
The stress of the story is mellowec
by the romance between Jim Gresham
and Alice Chandler, and with beautiful
Barbara Tenant playing opposite t
handsome Robert Warwick, the comb
nation becomes irresistible.
From the reception accorded tn
first of the William A. Brady Pictur
Plays to be released through the Worl
Film Corporation, it is certain that
new era has dawned in that very in
tereSting world-the feature film.

Often Lost Sight of

We called attention to few of the
noints that are often overlooked when
selecting school to attend.
TYPEWRITING is one OF the most
important parts of business education.
We have, perhaps, the only school IN
tbis mart of the country that teaches
each and every student to operate ac-
curately, by the touch method, the dif-
ferent standard makes OF typeWFlters'
No difference upon what machine the
student may learn, when he goes into
an office he may find an entirely differ
emf machine of machine; therefore, II is
very necessary that he learn to operate
with speed and accuracy all the stand
ard makes of machines.
SYSTEM OF SHORTHAND: Most
schools teach the old Pitman system
which was put out in 1882. The Tyler
Commercial College teaches the famous
Byrne Simplifled, which is modern
system that produces greater speed
than any other system and In less tnan
half the time. We give the student the
choice of writing the Bryne Slmplitled
Shorthand with a pencil or on the type
writer. When written on the type
writer. we call it StenotypeWrltlng
StenotypeWriting is the stenographlc
marvel Of the age. 1t is printed short
hand.
Systems of Bookkeeping: Most
schools teach theory course; the stu
dent reads about what some one else
has done, and posts his work theoreci'
ally. The students of our school have
to transact every item OF business for
which they make an entry; they learn
TO do by doing; they buy and sell goods,
write deeds, mortgages, drafts, and all
kinds of commercial papers, ship goods
i lust as they would in actual business
life. They not only learn a thorough
course of Bookkeeping, but they obtain
practical business training as well
this business training is worth as mucf
To them as a course course OF book
keeping.
POSITIONS: We secure positions FOL
every worthy guarantee; we fully rea-
: lie that practically trained students
placed in good paying positions are tn
