"Open Your Eyes lne naming pho.
toplay prepared under The supervis-
ion of the United States public health
service comes to the opera house
Wednesday, September g. This pic
ture has attracted wide attention, and
created a veritable sensation among
educators and PUBLIC officials in every
city where ii has been shown.
Briefly, open Your Eyes" is the
story of two girls. both young beau
tiful and innocent just budding into
young womanhood One finds her
mother all that mother should be.
Her questions are frankly and sensib
ly answered, and consequently she is
able to avoid the pitfalls that lie in
the pathway of youth. The other, less
fortunate, finds her mother too busy
with social duties to listen to her
daughters questions, and when the
lonely girl turns TO companions of
her own age for knowledge she gets
it at first hand from a handsome
''rounder. young in years but old in
wisdom of the ways of the world.
The story is admirably acted, and
the scenes, especially the Broadway
cabaret and the roadhouse, are rea-
lstically portrayed. Although the
fate OF the "rounder" is tragic, the
whole tone of the film is one of en-
enlargement through warming not
one OF depression and despair.

it spolls the fun to be hopelessly out rivaled

satisfaction in having car that. though ii
is small and its cost is less, does out-pef-

So Don't Forget
This fact

The Essex in every particular, save in
price and weight, is comparable to cars
that cost much more. And 1t possesses the
further advantage in economy that comes
from its lighter weight.
Remember, $4,000 owners are telling of
more good qualities about it than any Essex
salesman can tell you. Essex owners will
advise you to buy an Essex in either the
five passenger touring, the sedan or the
roadster models.

That Is Why You Hear
So Much of Essex

Anyone who has ever driven much knows
that the greatest delight, where speed is
concerned, comes with the ability TO best
rival with extra bursts of speed. 1t is the
situations which show cars ability to out.
perform others that give greatest cause
for pride.
And knowing that the Essex does excel
most cars, even many that are larger and
that cost more, there is little wonder owners
speak of it as they do

Essex Quality Didn't
Just Happen

The Essex preforms as it does because it
is built to the highest type of Car standard.
Its size and price has meant no sacrifice in
quality, durability or comfort.
Every construction detail is comparable
to one of the worlds most famous fine cars.
That is why the Essex is so speedy, so
nimble and so enduring. It's why everyone
knows it as an utterly different car than
The Era-leader., 1919-12-04
Note the Advantages
of such a Car

The Essex is not large car, neither is it
tiny. No space is wasted. No extra weight
is used, Neither passengers or driver are
crowded. They have plenty of room on the
seats and for their legs. The size of the
Essex gives it many advantages, including
moderate cost and operating economy. And
It slips through traffic that a larger car can
not negotiate. 1t can be parked in space
that others Can not squeeze into. 1t turns
in short radius.
