company which is a depository of the
proceeds Of Liberty bonds or treas

Happy Douglas Fairbanks was
never happier than when he made
THE Americana" at least so it would
appear, judging from the happy,
spontaneous spirit Of this picture.
The Grecian has received many re-
quests from its patrons for a return
showing Of this play. and in order to
give those who have not yet seen it
the opportunity to see it and to give
those who have seen it the chance of
seeing IL again. a return engagement
was arranged for two days, today and
tomorrow. This viii be positively the
last time THE Americana" viii be
shown in Ell Paso. Those who do not
avail themselves of this last chance
will miss it forever
There are more thrills. more stunts
and more real laughs ia this picture
than in any other one Fairbanks pic
ture ever made. The plot, too, is bet
ter than those found in most Of his
pictures
Miss Alma Rubens. who appears IN
this picture with Fairbanks, Is q
Young lady you are destined to hear a
lot about soon. She is a very beauti-
full girl, has a wonderful personality,
and the fact that she is now being
starred on her own account is the best
7-oof that she is an actress Of ability.
No one who is looking for real en-
tertainment should miss this picture
-og-T As in the case Of The Gin
fereIla Man. which was better than
the promises made by the Grecian
management, the Grecian theater
again wishes to recommend THE
Americana" with the personal guar
antee Of the management that this is
one Of Fairbanks very best pictures,
If not THE best-Ady.
