"why Change Your Wife,"

Cecil b. DeMille's latest Para
mount Aircraft production, why
Change Your Wife?" will come to
the Crescent theatre for three days
commencing next Monday. 1t is
described as a striking drama of
married life lavishly presented.
Gloria Swanson and Thomas Neigh
an are the featured players.
The plot centers around Robert
and Beth Gordon, married for ten
years, but now beginning TO drift
apart. Beth was a charming girl.
She has become a too wifely wife
and bores her husband with her ex-
cessive solicitude for his comforts.
He finds diversion in the company of
vivacious. pleasure-loving Sally
Clark. Literal-minded Beth imagines
them in love. A divorce follows, and
Robert marries Sally. Too late Beth
discovers why she lost her husband,
blossoming like a rose, develops into
society's gayest figure. Sally on the
other hand, is transformed by mar
riage into a worse household drudge
than Beth ever was. Roberts eyes
are opened when he again sees Beth.
and through dramatic series of
events they are brought happily to-
gether

NO REDUCTION IN
DODGE CAR PRICES

Official confirmation of press dis
patches from Detroit announcing
that there would be no reduction in
the price of Dodge Brothers motor
cars. has been received by Frank
Van Syckle. the Dodge Brothers
dealer in this city. A telegram from
c. w. Matheson, acting general
salesmanager to the local dealer,
reads:
Dodge Brothers poBcy has ever
been to give full value for the price
asked. There will be no reduction
in the present prices of Dodge
Brothers motor cslrs. Newspaper re-
ports to the contrary are absolutely
Dodge Bp6thers announcement
was no surprise to us" said Mr.. Var
Syckle. An fact 1t is only a sub
sanitation of Dodge Brothers busi-
ness principles. At no time have
they fever demanded an excess
amodnt for their product. AS in the
paSt. they will continue in the future
t2 demand a fair return for their ef-
forts"
THE mere fact that the demand
fer Dodge Brothers motor cars is
still greater than the supply, despite
the great expansion program at the
factory, has absolutely nothing to do
with the decision to continue the
present prices. In marketing their
car Dodge Brothers have never
made point of price and will never
sacrifice the quality OF their pro-
duct to enter price competition"

THEATRES

Why should any girl enjoying a
successful career in motion pictures
want to abandon the screen for a
less lucrative position on the spoken
stage?
The yearning for applause is re-
sponsible in most cases in the opin-
ion or Norma Talmadge, who will be
seen in her latest First National
starring vehicle, The Branded Wo-
man." at the Strand theatre, be-
ginning Monday.
Perhaps it is because have
never been on the stage that / think

silly thing for a star to quit motion
pictures for no better reason than
10 crafty her personal vanity by
shining before the footlights," she
said. "Of course, 1 am prejudiced,

The attraction at the Majestic
Theatre next Monday, which will
cause especial interest to burlesque
fans. who follow this form of enter
tainment next week. will be George
+. Belfrage's Hip. Hip, Hooray' :,
which in the past few years has al
ways been found to contain more
than the average amount of merit,
and promises this year to surpass
all previous efforts. Its chief claim
to distinction has always been its
deviation from the beaten path of
the old time burlesque show, pre-
senting an entertainment that is
crowded with refreshing novelties.
Sparkling music, witty dialogue. and
clever comedians, and devoid of dun
moments. Chief among the fun
makers this year are George +.
Hayes. Ben Pierce and Pat Kearney.
The female contingent are headed by
the ever popular Helen McClain, she
of the sweet voice and charming per-
sonality, assisted by Kitty Warren,
sprightly soubrette, and Vivian
Myers. a dainty ingenue acquisition
Also in the cast are to be found Jack
Myers, and Doc. Dorman. an eccen-
trio comedian of no mean ability. A
typical Hip, Hip, Hooray" chorus
of beautiful girls is also featured.
