Clara Kimball Young As the peculiar
Glyn heroine. she moves In mysterious way
her wonders to perform and is not so bad
she well nigh might be with such a role.
Her great trouble IS the camera. It's all
she can do from looking at It, all the time
and SO conscious is she that the thing
is clicking there, you almost hear the
directors voice shrieking abjurations at
her. There are come good players among
the supporting cast-Mathilda Brundage
and Fred Burton being the most notice
able of these. The photography is great.
The story. however, is trashy and ineffec-

is one of the quiet, pleasing opening Of
ferings that got along in nice shape with
the crowd. Two men with a series of
tricks that are all their own. Both men
are showmen and go about their routine in
a showmanship manner. The second act

some new talk. They sing well but they
need some material. Number three

a beautiful shoe for the old woman

II was well worth the effort. But
there was such an immense crowd Ii

vice and warn her about the other
men and explain why she shouldn't
see too much of them or let them hold
her hand. She used to take 1t in good
faith and thought the more warning
they gave the more wonderful they

Mellow yellow taffeta makes this
lovely dance frock FOR the debutante.
The design is artfully simple and
might be called plain save for the
petal effect at the hips. The bodice
is cut on camisole lines and a tiny
cluster of satin flowers fastened to
the shoulder strap is the only bit of
trimming. The deep purple ostrich
tan carried is an effective color note.

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphats
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
ana treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
tnln people Heshy, developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
OF men and women who keenly feel their
excessive tfinness
ThinnesS and weakness are often due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so we'll as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-phosphate, which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary phosphoric food elements bitro-
phosphate should produce welcome
transformation in the appearance; the in
crease in weight frequently being aston
ishing
Increase IN weight also carries with II
q general Improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thnness, should disappear dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although ro-phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness, 1t
should not. owing to it's tendency to in
crease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.
