Where to Get
A Good w atch

! If you want a good watch, buy
it here. A watch needs the per
sonal adjustment to the owner that
only an expert ieweler can give a
watch.
A good watch runs differently for
different people. If you lean over
a great deal in your work, or jolt
over rough roads in wagon or
move quickly etc your watch Is
affected and needs to be regulated
by an expert watch man for few
days after you buy it.
A mail order house can't send
you a man to do that so you are
just plain lucky if you get a mail
order watch that keeps time.
We are watch inspectors for the
B. & 0. railroad and naturally in a
position to give good service.
If your old watch needs atten-
ton or you need "a new ore see us.

 brief synopsis of the play, "rhe Outcast," follows:
 Miriam is a cheerful, somewhat philosophic and quite uncomplaining girl of the London streets. Chance brings her to the door of Geoffrey's flat at time when he is busily going to the bad with the aid Of Whisky ana drugs which he has sought for consol-
 ation when the woman he loved "chucked" him for more advanta- geous match. The girl, recognizing per haps a certain freemassonry estab- lished between them by his utter
 misery, lends him a friendly arm. They join hands as pals. She falls deeply and miserably in love with him and her suffering is due not so much to the fact that he will not marry her, though she is wistfu1ly eager for that, but because she knows his tenderest feeling is for Valentine, the woman who had tilted him. It is Miriam's speechless woe which, in the end, shows Valentine not merely that Godfrey cannot tear himself from this girl, but that she herself cannot tear herself from her devoted but quite unfnter esting husband Godfrey then offers Miriam marriage in the casual manner of one offering something one does not value But she will not have 1t that way She has been reading the marriage service, and it has added something to her social philosophy: Whether you think of marriage as religious or just human,' she observes slowly, tits pretty solemn business. It is for good women. It is their re-
 ward"

FOOTLIGHTS AND SCREEN
By RICHARD F. LussIER

Guy Bates. Post, one of the great American character actors, will ap- pear at the Jefferson today in Richard Walton Tullys Persian romance, "Omar, the Tentmaker" based on the immortal "Rubaiyat of Omar khay yam" This is one of the great spec" tacles and is said to even overshadow the production of "Kismet," which was seen at the Jefferson last year with Otis Skinner. Omar, the Tent maker" will likely prove one of the theatrical treats of the current sea son.
 
 Does a woman always feel a proprie- tary interest in any man she has ever loved, although she has tilted him? This question is brought up in "The Outcast," which will be seen at the Jef- ferson next Tuesday and Wednesday, It is brought up by the action of a married woman returning to her dis carded lover, Certain feminist philos- ophers assert that a woman never likes to see the man she discarded happy thereafter. but keeps track of him, hoping he may turn out badly or at least never be happy with another woman. The womans greatest glee, they say, is to reveal in confidence her sweet sorrow that so-and-so is now down and out; a tramp, perhaps, because of his unrequited love for her. No Indian ever carries the scalp of his foe at his belt, they assert, with more pride than does the woman who tells of the unhappy man whom she gave the mitten. No matter if she is mar ried happily with a half dozen chill dren. or Is still maid; in the even ing she gloats over her conquests of the poor wretches she cast off It is the eternal feminine. How about it?

ADJUSTMENTS
"It Pays to Advertise

The business men of Birmingham and their employees were much in evidence at the Jefferson theatre last night, where 'It Bays to Advertise," a breezy and witty commentary on modern methods of getting business, was the offering, Hearty laughter and continuous chuckles bore witness to the amusing qualities of the play and the efforts of capable com -pany. At first one might get the inn pression that the play is exaggerated, but as matter of fact. there are so many notable examples to prove the con tention of the authors that advertising pays many Of which are mentioned on the stage, 1t is soon recognized as a truthful pi resentment of an axiom that is the secret to a large extent of suc- cessful selling.
 The fun of the piece is of the rapid fire order. The interest is never permitted to flag from the moment young Rodney Martin decides to 'buck the soap trust" headed by his father, until the moment of triumph, when the young man and his two associates convince the elder Martin that he is too conservative and it is possible to sell soap at the unheard of price of $1 a cake, if it is sufficiently advertised.
 There is of course, a love story to lend a touch of sentiment, but this Is subordi- mated to the highly up-to-date business methods of the '13 Soap company and the way in which they accomplish a seemingly impossible feat by means of clever advertising All ends well with the "soap king accepting the terms of his youthful competitors and there is many a line in the play that contains q Jossnp for h1snaSs men If is safe to say that not one of these arguments in favor of advertising was overlooked by the large number of Birmingham mer- chants at the Jefferson last night.
 The company was an excellent one and, barring a tendency to trip over the name of a well-known local firm, which was used in the play, the performance was smooth and rapid. Harold Vermilyea played Rodney Martin in capital style and Frank Allworth. as the slangy but quick-witted Ambrose Peale. was one of the most laughable figures in the play. Timer Grandin, as Cyrus Martin, was also good, while Adele Roland made an attractive Mary Grayson, who conspires with Rodney's father to make man out of him. and falls in love with Rod ney before the process Is completed. Elza Frederick as an imitation countess chat terd something that approximated French with a great deal of Gallic fervor and spoke American slang even more glibly. She played a rather difficult part well. The remaining members of the company were acceptable in minor parts.
 Tt Pays to Advertise was given great deal of preliminary advertising be- fore it's arrival in Birmingham and the result was a very gratifying business at the box office, thus demonstrating again the essential truth of the plays title.
