RED FLOODED
PEOPLE LIVE
THE LONGEST

Red blooded people retain their youth
and vigor until late in life because red
blood ages slowly.
A child with impure blood seems
old, while an old man with pure red
tronized blood seems young.
Impure blood clogs the system with
waste matters. rapidly ageing body,
mind and spirit.
Pure blood is red blood, rich in Iron
and Phosphates with power to rid itself
of waste matter and able to carry life
giving oxygen to every cell and nerve.
1t makes both young and old bright,
happy. keen. and interested in life. This

Pest" the Goldwyn melodrana that
will be given at the Colonial theatre
this afternoon and this evening has
the other rustic character beaten to
a frazzle' to Squote an American i'm
mortal.
1.-The Pest" is designed to entertain.
1t does all that is ,planned for it and
then a little bit more. 1t entertains
and thrills and makes you laugh and
sigh and have a bang-up good time.
Mabel Normand who is called Jigs
in the play is 1.-The pest" referred to
and she proves that and then some.
"Jigs' is farmhouse drudge and
the supposed daughter of the Blod-
gets. She is befriended by Gene
Giles, the nephew Of Judge Fisher.
The latter's daughter Blanche is
sought by John Harland because Of
her fathers wealth. "Jigs." the vic
tim. Of practical joke. is invited to
a party at the Fisher residence. She is
sent away. but not before the Judge
notices a ring Of odd design she
wears. which she found in the farm
house. Har!and tries to get the ring
but finds that Giles has already Sc
cured it. Harland plots to ruin Giles
from whom some bonds, given him
for safe-keeping. are stolen. While g
prisoner in the "Blodgett attic, "Jigs"
overhears the conversation of the
plotters. She makes her escape and
tells Judge Fisher everything. 1t
then develops, as the tangle is un-'
travelled, that she is the real daughter
of the judge and that she had been
exchanged as a baby by Amy Blod-
gett.
So wonderfully does Mabel Nor
mand play the part of "Jigs" that
! there is a distinct touch Of pathos
about her even when she is her mer-
riest. Two mighty thrilling episodes
mark the course Of the story: One
when "Jigs" makes a headlong ride
on horseback to warn the Judge that
he is to be waylaid and the other
| when she escapes from the attic. The
supporting cast is an excellent one.
The fourth episode Of the great Sc
rial 1.-The Silent Mystery" will be
seen today. This story is develop
ing some amazing situations and just
as was predicted, Francis Ford is at
his best in the production. A delight
full Strand comedy will also be seen
as we'll as the Pathe News with up

MET HER FiANCE AS
SHE SWAN AT MIDNIGHT

Nobody Knew Marie, Except that She
Was Maid in hote:-Rich Man
Tried to Find Her and Did at Last
Anita Stewards Latest and Big
gest Play
Love can never he conventional If
it is. then it isn't love. Dainty Anita
Stewart more than proves that in "A
Midnight Romance" which begins
three days stay at the Opera house
this afternoon.
Why, in this production. Miss Stew
art meets the, man who is afterwards
to be her husband at midnight. She
doesn't know him and he hasn't the
least idea who she is. He is taking a
midnight stroll along the sands and
there he sees a divinity in a one piece
bathing suit. Naturally he admires
her. Any man would. lie engages
her in conversation and just as he
feels he is becoming acquainted, she
excuses herself and disappears.
The man is Roger Sloane and he is
worth his millions. He proceeds to
use his art and his money in an effort
to determine the identity of the noe
tural mermaid. Nobody at the hotel
knows her. Nobody has ever heard
of we'll shaped young woman who
is fond of moonlight baths in the
ocean. Things look dark for Roger.
Then he discovers that the missing
girl is a maid at the hotel. She is
known as Marie. but beyond that
there is no clue to her identity.
This is just brief reference to
some of the points in "A Midnight
Romance" The whole photoplay is
yet come to Augusta. There is pler
ty of suspense to the story and Of
course if there is suspense there Is
interest and this is kept up to the
very last.
Not only is the beginning of the ro-
nance on the beach one Of the most
effective scenes ever shown on the
silver curtain. but the ball room pic
ture, the views at the fashionable
hotel and many other things all go to
make this. photographically and seem
ically. one of the truly big film plays.
All motion picture patrons-and ev-
eryone goes to the movies" these
days-will be interested to know that
"A Midnight Romance" is Lois We
Der production. She is one Of the few
women who directs pictures and she
has achieved such a reputation that
she stands at the head Of them all.
The story was suggested to her by
Marion Orth and as Miss Stewart
has the leading role there is the fem
mine touch all the way through. But
it should not be understood that this
play is only for women. 1t isn't by
any means. It is so delightful in it's
every scene. so charming in its story,
so clean and interesting. that every
one in the family will want to see it,
AZ the famous Opera House popular
prices will be charged. it is safe. to
say that big audiences will be the rule
for the next three days.-Adv.,

fore the end Of the week and the lots
be ready for assignment by Satur-
