Mattress Factory

Realizing several years ago
the advantages of being able
to guarantee to our customers
a perfect mattress, as to mate
rial as we'll as workmanship,
we installed this factory to
make our own mattresses in
stead of buying same. Every
mattress that leaves this build
ing is made from clean, ssni-
tsry cotton in a sunlight fac
tory. We have equipped this
factory with time-saving and
labor-saving devices so as TO, If
necessary, turn out a mattress
in two hours. In connection
with this shop, but occupying
a separate room, we have a
department for the renovating
of mattresses. We have a spe-
cial electric picker for this
work. We use only the best
S-ounce standard tick on all
renovating work. Box springs
and box couches are also man
ufaetured m this department.

Loew's Columbia-Mary Pickford.
In stella Maris,' the feature Pho
toplay now being shown at Loew's
all this week, Mary Pickford plays
a part wonderfully adapted to her.
In fact, the illustrations in the nov
ell by VIM. J. Locke. show Stella
Maris as a replica Of Little Mary.
golden curls and all. The work of
Mary Pickford as Stella Maris is
overshadowed by rnar OF the char
acter of Unity Blake. a homely girl,
uncouth and misshapen, who creates
big moments in the photoplay. and
whose emotional work is a revela-
ton. The superior work OF Unity
Blake is apparent in scenes where
Unitey and Stella Maris appear to-
gether on the screen. 1t Is said
thatN Miss Pickford frankly admits
that Unity Blake more than shares
honors with Stella Maris, and that
she, herself. loves the part of Unity
Blake. This may seem a strange
confession for a star to make. but
the fact is that Mary plays both
parts herself. The dual role is
made possible by clever photog-
>raphY, and Miss Pickford Is seen
talking to herself. and walking off
the scene with herself. Beginning
Sunday and for the first half of
next week, Pauline Frederick will
be seen in her latest photoplay.
