nov! Can You TELL YOUR
FAv0RITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-Just Smell II

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
in their pipes to find out il they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms OF their hands and smell it,
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some
favoring "to improve the favour and
burning qualities OF the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind Of favorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
most wholesome, and delicious of all
favorings-chocolate. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in a great
measure explains the widespread popu-
larity Of TUXEDO Tobacco.
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus q dash OF pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see.

Shadow" One Of the finest set
ings ever supplied for any motion
picture, is a court room scene. The
set is the replica of Part 1, Court
Of General Sessions in New York
City, one of the most elaborate ap-
pointed tribunals in the country. 1t
is in this court room that Ruth
Minchin, the part played by Pauline
Frederick, is tried for the murder
of her drunken husband, who has
treated her brutally from the date
of their marriage She is acquitted
because of lack of evidence to con-
vict, and to disabuse the public
mind as to her guilt, she begins
quest for the assassin and finally
prevails upon the real slayer, a pi-
anist, to confess the murder. Miss
Frederick is finely supported, her
leading man being Wyndham Stand
ing.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day Constance Talmadge will make
her appearance In a spic and span

The next addition to the list of

AT the Majestic.

The Majestic theatre manage
ment has arranged a varied pro-
gram for the coming week mixing
up the attractions in such variety
as to offer no two pictures of
exactly the same kind. Tonight,
Gladys Brockwell appears in 1.-The
Call of the Soul" and on Sunday
and Monday Elsie Ferguson, IN
doubtedly one of the biggest fav-
orites of the screen, appears in
His Partisan Wife" together with
a comedy. Miss Ferguson in this
picture has an actionable role,
one that proves beyond any doubt
that she is one of the greatest
actresses in the world today. Miss
Ferguson is able to do more than
look pretty and wear expensive
gowns and this picture is going to
prove it although her wardrobe in
His Partisan Wife is said to be
a marvel. The play raises the old
question of whether or not an
American who finds himself in
France should marry a French girl
and bring her back to this coun-
try. The possibilities OF such a
story in the hands of a clever di-
rector and an artist like Miss Fer
guson may be easily seen. The pic
ture has received the strong sup
port of every critic who has re-
viewed it. Millions of Americans
read the Saturday Evening Post
serial Venus Of the East" and
therefore it is safe to say that
many Rock Islanders will see it
when it comes to the Majestic
theatre on Tuesday and Wednes-
day with Bryant Washburn in the
leading role. Mr.. Washburn is
ideally cast in Venus of the East
and finds himself able to do better
work than he has done for a long
time. Other Majestic attractions
for the week include Margarita
Fischer in Fair Enough" on
Thursday, Sessue Hayakawa in
Bonds of Honor" on Friday and
Peggy Hyland in THE Girl With
No Regrets" on Saturday.

This picture portrays the laugh
able difficulties of an invalid in a
health camp. 1t is considerable of
a training camp for prizefighters-
Love and adventure are the SUI
preme factors OF the story and
thrills are never ending
In the picture are seen wonder
full scenery and dazzling waterfalls
taken in the northern part of New
York state, near Canada. The
function of the camera is well de-
fined in the filming of marvellous
caverns in the mountains, streams
of water falling more than five
thousand feet in mid-air and pro-
truding rocks which extend twenty
five feet into the open air.
The actors, too, take their lives
into their hands and their hearts in
to their throats when they run
across a narrow path on the rag
ged edge of a jutty cliff. For
sportsmen and those with real red
blood in their veins, a good fight is
staged by Carlyle Blackwell and
Kid Broad, famous as a mitt swing
er several years ago. The plot is
splendidly pleasing.

pie blouse and skirt. Fate draws
her into the life of a family from
the east and through them she goes
to New York. Here she is trans
formed into a woman of the latest
mode and charm and her clothes
are of the most expensive that
money can buy. Entering into the
character of the play, Miss Storey is
equally attractive as the breezy lit
tie backwoods girl and the trans
formed woman of fashion.
The play is one which gives this
charming actress full scope for her
noted emotional powers and the TO
nance which runs through the plot
furnishes q delightful vein Of SEN
tinent which Is beautifully brought
out by this clever player.

Anna Eva Fay, the mysterious

imitators than any other stage
celebrity and whose fame is known
the world over, is the extraordinary
headliner of a smashing six act
bill starting an engagement at the
