3f8 Suppose you, woman, were TO pc
married to the man of your choice,
were already arrayed i'll your we'd
ding gown and were adjusting your
veil, when your own father sneaked
up to the door, locked you in, and de-
parted from the house. Wouldn't that
make you slightly peevisll?
a You can Imagine Ruth Sorrows
Indignation when, after her father
had played such a trick on her, she
found on guard below her window
her former sweetheart, the man
whom she had Tilted for another.
That is the situation which con-
fronted Ruth Storrow in the second
episode of ''Bride 49,, which will be
shown at the Rex theatre beginning
Today and Tuesday.
4 Ruth Storrow's; real name is Mar
guerite, Clayton, and she is the beau
tiful blonde heroine of William Fox's
serial Ruth is facing difficult Sit
uation. Just before her sister Elean-
or's marriage eleven wealthy brides
had been stolen and held for ransom.
: Storrow wants Eleanor to put Off
her marriage, but Ruth urges her to
70 ahead and defy the criminal band
that threaten American womanhood.
Eleanor follows Ruth's advice and
then she is driven off wharf in her
limousine and disappears into the
bay.
u, One; might think that would dis
'suade Ruth. but it does not. and she
determines to follow the advice she
gave her sister and go to the altar
regardless of the threats Of the un-
seen forces.
Then her father balks her in her
purpose, and Bob, her former sweet
heart, aids him. Still Ruth is not
check1nated. She looks out OF the
window and notices that Bob's atten-
ton has been distracted. - !
She raises the sash, climbs upon
the sill and then-well, is isn't fair
to spoil the climax for you.

I was in that condition for nearly year, try ing different medicines without help, Finally I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and got some at Sevin & Sons Drug Store, and found they were just what I needed. They made me feel like a different woman. better than had fell for years. My kidneys are now acting regularly and the pains have left" OVER FIVE YEARS LATER, Mrs Brown said: "Doan's Kidney Pill. certainly are excellent and they dc what is claimed for them. At times when cold settles on my kidneys ant causes my back to ache, I use Doani and they never fail to give me promp relief"

To remark on the nature of this play borders on the superiuous. for 1t prob ably is the most popular and successful melodrama written in the last decade. It was first presented on the stage in New York with H. B. Warner in the title roll, and ran for a long crowded season The extended career the piece has had on the road and in stock com panies needs no comment Alias Jimmy Valentine" is a role entirely different from any he has portrayed in. Metro's fewer and better" series of special pro- auctions. His previous. appearances. as the temperamental modiste in 'Loznbardi Ltd" and as the supercilious and bril- liant Charley Steele in Sir Gilbert Park CTS The Right of Way" are far re- moved in character from the magnetic jail bird hero. Alias Jimmy Valentine, ' whose name is a household world in America. To say that the part is one admirably suited for Mir Lytelrs abfii- ties rather discounts them for 1t Is be- coming known that this young Metro star
 does not need a role tailored to him. He | Is probably the one young male star of | tha screen who makes his characterize l. tions individual. As an added attraction | Charles Chaplin will be seen in '@The ! Rink" a Chaplin classic and the Paine 1 News will complete this banner bill. The
