Lois Webber No Longer Film Actress
She's Author of Big Screen Scenarios

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6.-Lois
Weber hasn't always been be
hind the scenes" In the motion
picture world She is one of the
pioneers. Part of her seven years
in movieland has been spent as
actress and also as director.
But now Lois Weber has
slipped behind the scenes to
write. Her name will no longer
blaze on billboards. Instead, 1t
will appear as an inconspicuous
subtitle on the film-plays she Gre
ates.
JUST AS IMPORTANT
But Lois Weber will not be Of
less importance than before. On
the contrary, her importance In
filmdom has increased a thous-
andfold. She is now a maker of
film history. The progress of the
game depends upon Lois Weber
and others like her. And there Is
no man In the industry who is a
greater writer than this woman
at Universal City who created
"Hypocrites "a film that shock
ed the nation because it featured
nude girl. I'm that play said
Miss Weber, II merely held up
the mirror of truth that humanity
mighty see Life"
Other notable works of Miss
Webber's are: 1.-THE Dumb Girl

dancer, Anna Pavlowa, not yet re-
leased; Jewel" Elimination of
the novel of that name; "Tyrant

THINGS AS.
THEY ARE.
by
GRACE PULLIAM,

Did It ever occur to you, that
all this blanket of snow might
be by way OF joke, that
Mother Nature Is sending, now
that man. In Washington Mt
least, may not have the privl-
lege OF warming himself with
in?
White generally seems to be
the order of the day. Both
within and without. Judging
from the snow outside-and
all the lovely things to be seen
at Rhodes White Sale-inside.
Both events are unusual,
though In different way.
The snow-we never really ex-
pect in this climate. though
once in every few years we
have II. And the White Sale
we look for every January. but
We never expected to find such
Bargains as are offered by
Rhodes this year-it being
war times. too.
A Knight of the Grip walks
into the store, and displays his
samples of waists, sheets or
napkins, as the case may be.
The Buyer looks them over,
notes their exceptional values,
and considers for a moment.
How many of these things can
you give US? Or what's your
total stock in this particular
line? What price can you make
us on the whole? The knight
of the Grip consults his memo
randum. The price that he has
hereto asked is far in excess of
what the buyer now offers.
But on the other hand, no one
before has ever wished to
make a price-on his ENTIRE
lot. Yes, he thinks he can
meet these terms-and the
deal is closed. This is a fair
sample of how Rhodes Broth
ers do business-and it is one
of the reasons that they can
sell their merchandise at a
price-that once you carefully
examine the quality OF their
stock, you exclaim, How on
earth can they do it,"
But that's their policy-buy-
ing in gross lots---where others
buy by the dozens. And quality
is never sacrificed-but the
cost to them, and In turn to
you, Is very much reduced.
They get thousands of yards OF
cloth, where the ordinary store
would handle a tenth or TWEEN
tieth of the amount. They will
take all the coats and suits of a
reliable maker-provided, OF
course, that the suits will come
up to their high standard of ex-
/ cellence. For with Rhodes
Brothers nothing goes but the
BEST. The only thing cheap
about their store-is the
price that one finds placed upon
their wares when they wish to
share their blessings with the
public. You will find the White
Sale just trimming full of such
prices.
After all, it's the real cold
cash that Mr.. Manufacturer is
looking for. So it's to his ad-
vantage to make Rhodes Broth
ers a very, very special price.
He knows that they are not
afraid Of making a whaling big
order-and he knows, too, that
he will get his money.
|
And now that Mr.. Snow Man
has given us a good sprinkle,
! Jack Frost is liable to abide
with us for quite a spell. You
may need an extra coat, or
warmer underwear. Perhaps
the sleep would be little
sounder for an extra pair of
blankets. You can find all OF
these things-as well as many
more-especially priced. too,
for the Rhodes White Sale.
Did you know
That potatoes are very much
better baked than in any other
| form?
Or
That icebergs have been
known to last 200 years before
they melt?
Or
That, after all, it's not what
you want, but what you get,
that's got to make you happy.
