georgete. Just the thing for midsummer early

THERE comes a time in the summer
L when we long for something new
with which to deck ourselves. The pref
test frocks in the wardrobe, the hat that
we thought so becoming a few short
weeks ago and the sweater that was
just too stunning for words, all begin
to pail about midsummer, and we find
that we are actually In need Of the stim-
ulant that can be gained only through
some new piece of wearing apparel
We are sure to find it If we go straight
TO the millinery department. AS early
as the first of July we can find there
signs of the season to come. Now, I
am not particularly in favor of rushing
the season by appearing on the hottest
day of summer in a winter hat. but so
far as fabrics go. there is today virtually
no season in millinery. satin hat is
just as much in the picture in July as it
is in January. In fact. this might be
called a season OF fabric hats. for really
most of the smartest hats Of the season
are of fabric, not of straw, of which one
would naturally suppose summer hats
should be made.

Photoplays

sTANLEY--"The Service star" with Madse
Kennedy. Directed by Charles Miller from
play.
This is a good Goldwyn product be-
cause they have kept away from. any
attempt at tricky lightings or special
settings. but have devoted the time to
the unfolding Of a good story. Charles
Miller. the director. has made many sue
cessful screen plays. and to him falls
the credit for this one
He has not permitted the star to over
act, nor has he brought in any unneces-
sary' business not essential to the plot.
The manner in which the identity of the
hero has been kept In the background
is clever touch Of the author.
There Is a patriotic motif in this
story. but its interest centers chiefly in
the unusual situation Of a girl who has
no sweetheart to knit for and who makes
hero of soldier whose deeds she reads
oNin the paper.
Miss Kennedy is charming in her role
Of plain Jane" and the transforma.
tion into a beautiful girl In the final part
Of the story is a tribute to the value Of

PALACE-"The Brides .Awakenlns." with
from the story BY r. McGrew willis. Uni
versal play.
The chief interest in this story Is the
return to the screen Of Mae Murray
after an absence OF over a year. She
ID a good actress, but her work Is not
as well received as It should be.
She gradually advanced from the
young girl who marries to be rid of q
lot Of bothersome people to a woman
who steps into her husbands party, and
from then on she displayed lot OF
emotional talent that is a treat to see
As q story Of marital life this one Is q
fair example Of the average type found
on the screens.
Director Robert Leonard. who for.
merly acted in leading roles for the
Universal Company. has directed this
story with intelligence and keeps W
the interest throughout. He has also
furnished some pleasing settings.
Lew Cody Is a new type Of screen
villain, and his work is very good, while
Clarissa Selwynne makes a good oppo
site in the role of a married friend.
Harry Carter is her husband, an6
Ashton Dearholt is the friend who de.
fends Miss Murray from an attack by
Hayward Mack.
ARCADIA--"The Danger Mark" with Elsie
Ferguson. Directed by Hugh Ford from
story by Robert W. Chambers. Aircraft
play.
"The Danger Mark" will not appea
to children, but 1t will find a hearty
reception from audiences made UP Of
thinking people.
This is q story which has had a wide
circulation, and it centers about a girls
fight against a heritage Of the drinl
habit. How she succeeds in conquerinf
this habit and finds happiness with hel
boyhood chum is all told in a manner
that has made the direction Of Hugh
Ford SO strikingly real.
The introduction of another pair o.
lovers furnishes added interest.
Elsie Ferguson again bears out tn,
fact that she Is one of the screen!

When There Isn't
Enough Chicken
to Go Around


The other day the most awful
thing happened forgot that Jim's
Aunt Elizabeth was coming to din
ner! There was little chicken left
over--just about enough to cream
for Jim and me. And then suddenly
I remembered. For a minute I was
scared to death. because. Aunt Eliza
beth's been everywhere and she's
used to the best Of everything. But
fve minutes later I was as happy
as a lark. concocting the most ex-
tensive dish of chicken a la king you
ever saw. I cut some mushrooms
and red peppers and slices of hard
boiled egg into the chicken, and in
stead of sherry (Aunt Elizabeth
doesn't approve Of liquor). put
in a big teaspoonful Of Al Sauce.
Well, wish you could have heard
her ask what gave it that Partisan
favor! never told Jim until
afterwards what nearly happened,
but I certainly thanked my lucky
stars for Al Sauce.-Advt.
