AT SPENCER SQUARE.

One of the many funny scenes in
the Famous Players adaptation of
Edgar Selwyn's celebrated stage sue
cess, Rolling Stones" shows Dave
Fulton and Buck Ryder wrestling
with a wine bottle. These two roll
ing stones" have surreptitiously enter
ed the kitchen of Mrs. Branigan's
boarding house and have discovered
the wine bottle on the table. They
proceed to have little war dance of
joy over the discovery and of course
they shake up the bottle so violently
that it explodes when they attempt to
open it. The role of Dave is played
by Owen Moore, who is co-starring in
the production with pretty Marguerite
CourtOt. 1t so happened that this
episode was staged at the Famous
Players studio on the hottest day of
the summer and when Mr.. Moore was
deluged by the contents of the bottle
it felt so cool that Director Del Hen
dersOn almost had to resort to blows
in order to force him to take off the
wet clothes and don dry regalia so
that the picture could be continued.
Rolling Stones" which was one of
the most successful plays Edgar Sell
wyn has ever written, will be the Par
amount attraction at the Spencer
Square on Friday and Saturday.
Among the players who appear in
support of Miss Courtot and Mr.. Moore
are Denman Maley, Alan Hale and Ida

SHOW ROOM TO
DISPLAY LOCAL CAR

The Moline Pillow company has con-
verted portion of it's main building
on the south side of Third avenue be-
tween Fourteenth and Fifteenth
streets. formerly utilized for storage
purposes, into a handsome show room
for the display of Stephens Skies, an
automobile manufactured and mar
keted by the pillow company. The room
has floor space OF approximately 1000
square feet and is situated Immediately
south of the lobby of the main office
building, easily accessible to visitors.
The walls are of mahogany, the floor
ing is of inlaid oak, and the fancy
metal ceiling adds TO attractiveness of
the place. With use of an indirect
lighting system, the best possible light
is afforded, and the cars show up to
best advantage under the soft rays
In the new quarters the Moline Pillow
company will receive prospective pur-
Chasers of the Stephens Six. The in
vitation to visit the room holds good
for every citizen of Moline who feels
that some day he would like to own
an automobile, or who is interested in
the progress of the city's commercial
activities and wants to know what is
going on.
Our purpose in fixing up this place
for display of the Stephens Six" said
A. c. Barber, sales manager, lis to let
the people of Moline know what we
have to offer in the line of automobiles,
and we invite the public to come and
look over the display. We don't care
whether fellow wants to buy a car

or not when he visits us. He may de-
eide later that he wants to buy one, or
if he is favorably impressed with the
machine he may tell his friends of it's
good qualities, and help in that way"
Though the Stephens Six has been
on the market but a comparatively
short time, it has made a remarkable
showing in the amount of sales. which
are increasing by leaps and bounds
To give one an idea of how great is
the demand for the Stephens Six, it
may be stated that one dealer alone
has placed an order in the amount of
$1,600,000. This is probably one of the
largest single orders that has ever
been received by an automobile con-
