they should be forced to take

"A DIFFERENT WORLD INDEED

~Focus every faculty of your
mind upon the task of seeing your
familiar world as it would appear if
swept clean of every token that ad-
vertising now employs to deliver its
myriad messages, and you will feel
that your. eyes have been opened to
an economic revelationl
mo thinking man can face that
vision without a shudder," he con-
tinued. "Instintively he will shake
himself loose from its spell as from
the clutch Of a nightmare in which
the whole world has become confus-
ed, fantastic, out Of focus.
"A world without advertising!
'First, consider only its most sup
sr6cial side without any attempt to
trace the blighting results that would
surely follow to all industries fed by
advertising funds.

AN ORDINANCE.

Be it ordained by the Mayor and
Board of Council of the City Of Mt.
Sterling that it shall be unlawful for
any person, firm or corporation sell
ing ice within the City Of Mt. Ster-
ling, KY, to not weigh the same i'm
mediately before delivering when re-
quested by the customer to so weigh.
Any person, firm or corporation vio-
lating this ordinance shall, upon ar
rest and conviction, be fined the sum
of ten dollars ($10) and each sale
without weighing said ice shall be
deemed separate offense. All or
dinances and parts of ordinances in

A GAY FLARE OF COLOR

"Look at the city landscape. What
a somber and lifeless spectacle with
out sign, poster or a busy cleo
trical display to hail the eye with
gay fare of color-a bright message
of busy, hustIing, human activity.
"Only those who have endured
exile in regions unpenetrated before
by civilized man can tell you the
hunger Of the cultivated human
mind for the wayside sign, for mans
contribution to the metropolitan
landscape, for the friendly words of
industry that greet him from streets
lighted with messages of the eager,
competitive strife of commerce. No
man ever survived such an exile in
a land beyond the frontier Of the
printed word who did not hail the
first sign or printed advertisement
of any sort that met his eye on his
return to civilization as a good and
friendly thing. In his sight the COM
mercialized alphabet glowed with the
charm of close and multiplied human
contact.
''Then, let your imagination turn
to the printed page and picture the
dreary desert of abstractness pre-
scented by books, magazines, news
papers and publications of every
sort with type-masses unbroken by
a single advertisement. Can you
grasp their depressing solidity, their
forbidding remoteness from the real
world of wholesome, human affairs,
of making and carrying and selling
the things that civilized man has
learned, in the evolution of his re-
finement, first to want and then to
need?"

 Bryant Washburn has been ap- pointed official Red Cross represen- tative at the Jasky studio in the big clothing drive which that organiza- ton started last week. As a result, he goes around shouting Any old clothes, any old clothes," and 1t is claimed he has the accent of the pro- fession down perfectly. The studio crowd has responded to the call, and every evening MT. Washburn has driven to the Red Cross headquarters in Los Angeles with an automobile overflowing with clothes.

JOHN BARRYMORE IS IDEALLY
 CAST IN 1.-THE DICTATOR

John Barrymore, the unrivalled comedy star, appears in "The Dicta- tor" by Richard Harding Davis at the Empire theatre today and tomorrow
 It is not too much to say that not since his triumph in '"The Man From Mexico" has MT. Barrymore found so good a vehicle for his humor.
 The comedy is constant, breezy, en- tertaining and well acted by an ex- ceptionally competent company. The action is snappy, and there is scarcely an intellectual interval throughout the entire production. MT. Barrymore, as ''The Dictator might be described as inimitable in a role that is ire sistibly humorous in a, farce that is acknowledged to be the funniest ever produced.
 Charlotte Ives, as Lucy Sheridan, the American girl with whom the Die tator falls in love, is natural and charming, and altogether winning. By contrast, Ruby Hoffman, as Sonora Jupanita, the passionate damseI who claims the Dictator's love, proves her self to be an artiste remarkable for her effectiveness. Robert Broderick makes a strong figure as Col. Bowie, an adventurer seeking a United States Consulate. Walter Craven is suffi- ciently frece as General Campos, the temporary president of the republic.

SHIRLEY MASON IN
 RESCUING ANGEL"
 HAS TWO

Not one but two lovers has Shirley Mason in her new Paramount pie ture, The Rescuing Angel" which Is released today. The story, originally a play, was written by Clare Kum- mer. with a scenario by Edith Ken nedy.
 This comedy is said to have made one of the most pleasing motion pictures of the season, for it is full of human interest. supplies the star with a vivacious role and affords ex- cellent opportunities for every one else in the cast. Forrest Stanley is the leading man and one of the sui tors; the other is portrayed bv Ar thur Carew. Which one of the two the heroine chose Is a problem that must be answered by the picture it. self.
 Walter Edwards directed the pro- duction. Many well known and popular screen players appear in the cast in addition to those mentioned,
 Shirley. Mason has given examples of her talent for light and airy comedy drama roles in her Emerson Loos co-starring vehicles with Ernest Truex and in The Winning Girl. y her latest Paramount picture just preceding this picture. She was from the beginning in love with her part in The Rescuing Angel" so She says and she considers it the most interesting she has ever done
 She portIays a girl who knows very little of practical life, but who determines to save her family from financial ruin. To do this she con tracts a marriage with a man she has hitherto refused. When her parents hear of her rash act they are appaI- led and they do everything to save her from the misfortune she has brought upon herself. But the story takes a unique twist here and 1t turns out that she really loves the man she married.
 Others in the cast. besides those mentioned above, are John Stepping. James Neiu, Carol Edwards. Edyt'- Chapman, T. D. Crittenden and Parks Jones.

 POLrS.
 Final showings tonight of "The Girl Who Stayed at Home," will mark the close of a most successful engagement at Polls of D. w. Grif- ffth's new screen masterpiece. This drama, dealing with the change wrought in the lives of typical American young folks by the Great War, is as interesting a spectacle as ever screened. In it's Griffith pro- duction, it attains the fullest possi- bilities of its dramatic worth.
 The vaudeville bill is very good. Wilfred Clarke, the 'eIl known farceur, is seen in hN own farce comedy, His Reel TroubIe,'' a snap py playlet dealing, with the things that happen when a husband and wife, unknown to each other, start to make movie stars of themselves.
 Other vaudeville features include: Amaros and Obey, in an acrobatic and dancing novelty; Dingley and Norton, in an instrumental program; Winkle and Dean, in songs and a pianologue; and a very charming Va riety oddity, Wedding Bells" by Howard and SadIer.
 A special film feature is a Fat ty' Arbuckle comedy called Love" The Pathe News is also shown.

De Mile ''Stumps"
 Property Department

The property department at the Lasky studio is so complete that never once has it failed to produce on twenty-four hours notice, any ar ticle demanded.
 But Cecil B. De Mile ruined this wonderful reputation. He has sue cessfuIy stumped the department The other day, after looking over the script on which he was to work the following morning, he made out a list of things needed. The first item on the list read:
 Live dragon. Must be very ugly and ferocious.'
 Howard Wells, head of the prop erty department when he read this turned to his card index hopefully and looked under D. "Derbies, dodos doubIets, doughnuts," he read. But there were no dragons. He called his head assistant in.
 Got any dragons " he asked. q can't find them in the catalogue. The 4ASSLNL S1994SLc LctllI W tll lO luS IIlSnd6SEleS department and looked over the cages. Then he returned We got 8 mountain lion, a, tarantula and ar armadillo," he said, but I can't find any dragons"
 Wells was thoroughly perplexed To go to De Mile and tell him the article was not forthcoming would be such a humiliation that he couldn't force himself to do it. Fin ally the hunch came to him. He hoped into an automobile and beat it for the desert. And after an all day search he found a, Chinese lizard which is about three feet long and the ugliest monster alive. He was a day late with it, but MT. De Mile was so pleased by it's ugliness that he didn't mind.
 When photographed in a miniature forest with microscopic lens the lizard looks as ferocious as any fab led monster, 1t IS said. It is being used in a vision" in For Better, For Worse''
