 improvement over the stage produc-
 ton. The camera makes it possible to introduce more scenes and com
 menee the picture two years before
 the opening act of the play. It also
 allows for the visualization of many dramatic scenes that were only hint- ed at in the stage production. None of the beauties of the original play lave been lost in the perturbation and the introduction of more scenes and modern sports have heightened the dramatic value of the production. It is even better than the play and bids fair to achieve a success far greater than the Amelia Bingham production.

When A Woman's Teeth " Are Most in Danger

The quality of the saliva has much to do with the condition of the teeth Before the baby comes. and immedi- ately thereafter, 1t undefgoes a change and often the mother finds herself with sensitive gums and loosening teeth.
 This condition is temporary, and need not be mistaken for the onset of pyorrhea. Miss Della Spellman, a nurse at the State Hospital New York with years of experience advises the gentle use of the tooth brush twice a day with preparation free from irri- tating drugs and gum massage by finger. She recommends Albodon Den tai Cream knowing it is both effective and safe and fully meets all require ments of women and children.
 A tube holding S5 brushfuls can be bought for 25c. at any drug store. AL bodon is calcium carbonate, saponiffed and mixed with the well-known anti septic oils of cloves, cinnamon and eucalyptus, which authorities declare is best for women and children.

 '. alsh photoplay "The Winning
 .s:rolse", at the Davis theatre Fri .iay and Saturday include actual pho .Jgrap phs of the great Yale Harvard boat raee-a contest which annually absorbs the keen interest of the en-
 tire aquatic sporting world. Some of the scenes in this play were filmed on the Yale campus and in the Yale crews training Quarters-tlle first
 time a concession of this sort has
 been granted for motion pictures. As
 stroke oar of the Yale crew and the
 plucky hero of a charming romance,
 Walsh not only looks the part of
 perfection, but handles the difficult business-of which there is plenty in his usual dynamic, magnetic fash ion, and comes out victorious in both love and war. "The Winning Stroke is wholesome in sentiment, powerful. in plot and speedy enough in action to meet any demand. It looks like "a winning stroke" for both star and exhibitor.
 The other feature is "Oh Boy" which is said to represent the only 1 really successful attempt ever made l to translate to the screen the com | plete story of modern up-to-d date "girlie- grille" musical comedy hit. h. i ternational News and q funny Mutt comery completes the show.
