Christmas day will bring TO the
Tulsa screen two Of the most popu-
lar stars in filmland-Mae Marsh and

said to be the best they have ever had.
Little Marguerite comes to the Pal

full thing this dainty and loveable
little personality has ever done. Some
praise. for Marguerite has list OF
successes behind her as long as any
actress on the screen.
"Rab's Burglar" is the second of the
film versions of Mary Roberts Rhine
hart's stories. which were so popular
with Saturday Evening Post readers a

who directed that beautiful play, The
Manxman." and who is now on the
Goldwyn staff OF directors, superin-
tended II, and some have declared IL

City Club Hears Address by
Secretary of State Insur-

Insurance has gone beyond the mere
protection OF property. Real
insurance now demands that every
precaution be observed which Will
conserve for the use Of the nation and
its allies all the resources of the ma
ton.
This was the view expressed by w.
r. Samuel, secretary of the state In
surance board in an address at the
city club meeting yesterday noon. Mr..
Samuel was the principal speaker at
the luncheon. served at Hotel Tulsa.
The idea prevalent before the en-
trance of the United States into war,
regarding insurance, was protection of
the property holder so far as loss by
fire was concerned" Mr.. Samuel said.
Now, loss cannot be expressed In
terms OF money; food and other re-
sources in themselves mean the win
