 Marguerite Clark has a way of appar- ently out-MarguerIting Marguerite in ev- cry picture she takes up. She has proven that everybody who thought that though she Was wonderful in the little falry films in which she first appeared when she went from the stage to the screen, she would not be so popular in a differ ent role. Her part in Girls is one os the most charming in which she has played.

nothing like Daddy Long Legs on he screen, and Birmingham is again enjoy ing this beautiful story.
 A large crowd was in waiting when the Rialto theatre opened Monday morning. This attraction will be at the Rialto this week only.
 Daddy Long Legs is one of the fun niest, saddest, sweetest stories written, and it has appeal for old and young alike There is pathos. comedy, humor and fun, and Mary Pickford scores her greatest triumph in this production Miss Pickford paid $i0000 for the rights alone to "Dady Long Legs" and she declares 1t Is worth every cent of it. On its re- cent showing in Birmingham Daddy Long Legs proved the most popular at traction ever presented at the Trianon. The Rialto has been the mecca for the
 atregoers. The part of Judy Abbott, the orphan girl, is one exactly suited tc Mary Pickford. For a long time Miss Pickford has been anticipating the part for it was inevitable that she should play it once the theatrical producers were willing to turn over film rights.

 pose of demonstrating the teachings of socialism.

RIOT OF COMEDY
 AT THE LYRIC

Comedy nredomins tes the excellent bill at the Lyric for the first part of the week. the programme being featured by a musical comedy, The Only Girl,' that is a riot from start to finish, and a sure cure for the blues.

Who Says He Now Feels Fine, Since Taking Ziron Iron Tonic

David Jones. of Forbus. Tenn. writes: T got bottle of Ziron and will say that I never had anything to come in so good time as I was thinking of giv- ing up. I was so weak. I cannot tell you how bad felt. Had stomach trouble. loss of appetite. couldn't sleep, in fact was total wreck all over. as I am subject to weak spells in the Spring of the year. After using Ziron will say I now feel fine and can do a fine days work. I think you have a good medi- cine. and I can surely recommend it to any one who needs a tonic.'
 Medical authorities and text books agree that iron is needed to keep the system in rooi condition. lnvestiga- tion shows that pale. weak, tired people generally lSck the necessary amount of iron in their blood. The strength that iron gives may be obtained by taking Ziron Iron Tonic. Try 1t. Ask your druggist about his guarantee on Ziron.

MAURICE lTOURNEUR'S FILM
 IS TRIBUTE TO WOMAN

The magical Maurice Tourneur has taken series of episodes from history and tradition and brought them to life in screen masterpiece, "Woman," the film that is being shown at the Colonial this week. It is unfortunate that the theatre is not larger than it is during the presentation of such a picture as Woman"
 The film is an epic spectacle, an artistic production, and in parts, at least, is a novelty. Tourneur well reaized when he attempted Woman" that the bigness of of the subject required the history of all ages to be successfully treated
 The production is a tribute to woman.
 It deals with her effect on history and conveys it's thought through the stories of Adam and Eve. Claudius and Messa- lima, Abelard and Heloise, a civil war heroine and the women war workers of today. It is presented in a prologue, five episodes and an epilogue All of the episodes are steeped in poetry and the haunting little story of Cyrene and the fisherman is perhaps the loveiest thing of it's kind ever done on the screen.

Who's Your Insurance
 Tailor?

There are many places you may buy a fire insur- ance policy, just as there are many places you may buy a suit of clothes.
 You DO buy your clothes from the store or tailor you know will take a real interest in helping you select a pat tern and style that will suit you.
 Careful business men buy their fire insurance the same | way; they go to an insurance man who, they know, will take a real interest in study ing their business, analyze it's fire protection needs and write their policies to fit those needs.
 Fire insurance men of this kind often are able to save their clients considerable amounts on premium reduc- tions alone; and the advan- tage of having the right kind of policy when the fire comes is too we'll recognized to dwell on.
 We have consolidated with the Trustees System, the James H. Awtrey Insur- ance Agency, because we know James H. Awtrey is a real insurance man.
 As manager of our insur- ance department, MT. Awt- rey can and does deliver to our clients not only perfectly prepared policies, but real insurance service as well.

New York, Aug. 21.-The New York
Evening Suns financial review for this
afternoon is as follows:
In its underlying character. today's
stock market was not. much to be dis
tinguished from previous sessions this
week. Surface manifestations were
variable. There was pretty good buy
ing among the standard shares through
out, at least sufficient at the worst to
keep them from slipping unduly at n
time when one of the specialties. late,
present or prospective speculative
favorites dropped 3 to 10 points, in
Guiding Keystone Tire, New York
Dock, Kelly Springfield and American
Sumatra.
As the day advanced, less pressure
was exerted and in the afternoon the
inherent resilicncy of the list was en-
abled to make a demonstration. Good
gains were registered by those shares
which had been merely marking time,
and substantial recovery was effected
W thS oihtlSs however, IL WIS
traders market of moderate proper
tons and it was evident that opera
tions were governed more by the tech
nical position of stocks than by news
developments.
The fact that the steel workmcn in
the Youngstown district failed to vote
an immediate strike, was in one sense
encouraging, and in another sense irri-
tating.
While it would seem to indicate that
the employees were not prepared TO go
as far as their paid agi.ators would
have them go, the provision in the vote
for conference with representatives
of the United States Steel Corporation.
within a period of ten days, leaves the
whole thing III the air, piling another
uncertainty on the mountain of uncer-
tainties which Wall street and the in
dustrial world see looming before them.
Today's price movements might well
have been interpreted as a reaction from
the Streets inclination to take a more
gloomy view of the situation than the
steel trade itself
If repeated advances in the wage
scale, Such as the United States Steel
Corporation has made in the war pc =
riod, mean anything to labor, they mean
that when showdown comes even the
limited number of union men in the
Youngstown district will not be unit
in walking out.
At least, there was distinct improve
ment in sentiment in the financial com
munity, which was reflected not only in
stocks, but in foreign exchange, cotton
and grain. The share list made net
gains of l to 2 points, with the best
display of sustained strength in mid
afternoon. There is, of course, a siz-
able short interest which was embold
ened to cover by the resistance to pres
sure, which has been noted this week,
even when the list appeared to be most
reactionary.
