ABOUT MATCHES

Sometimes when struck, the
blazing head will fly off, or the
stick will break and fall; some
times, too, the match will con.
tinue to glow after the fame has
been blown out. These are
signs that the match is poorly
made. Carefulness, therefore,
must begin at the time of buy
ing. One should always notice
the brand and always order by
brand. Whenever a brand is
found to have any of these
faults, it should be avoided.

Boe~'s Palace-Brynnt washburn In
lit Pays to Advertise"

Bryant Washburn. the pOpular
farceur of pictures, kept the audi
ence at Loew's Palace in gales OF
laughter yesterday in his latest
screen comedy. an adaptation from
the famous stage play "It Pays to
Advertise" one of the real success
ses of few seasons back
ia Pays to Advertise" by EOI
Cooper Megrue and Walter IIacke tt
was produced under the direction of
Donald Crisp. The combination has
proved a happy one from first to
last. inasmuch as TT Pays to Advrr-
tise" is fairly bubbling over with
original humor while the comedy
situations developed during the
course OF the unfolding of the story
are of an ingenious and striking
nature.
"It Pays to Advertise" is essen
TALLY a comedy of young business
America and as such it strikes a
high-water mark In the line of pic
torial humor. Such situations as
the hitting upon successful ad-
vertising slogan Thirteen Soap. In
lucky For Dirt" the scenes in the
theater of the college town and the
manner in which two young men
make good in their enterprise with
practically no capital back of them
have rarely if ever been paralleled
on the screen heretofore.
Mr.. Washburn, skilful farce actor
that he is. renders what is probably
the cleverest performance of his en-
tire career before the camera as the
optimistic Rodney Martin. He is
supported by a cast of unusual merit
headed by Lois Wilson who is on
the other end of the romantic in
terest of the picture. Walter HERS,
Frank Currier, Clarence Geldart
Julia Faye and Guy oliver also ap-
pear. All in all 'Tt Pays to Adver-
tise" is one of the most enjoyable
pictures that has ever been shown
at the Palace Theater. 1t has orig
inality. comedy and is well played
and photoplay fans can demand little
more than this.
