SCARLET DAY."

Under the magic hand Of D. W.
Griffith how many dead civilizations
have returned tolfe? He has restor-
ed Babylon and Palestine; in the
Birth OF a Nation" he made live
again the days of the Civil War, and
in Hearts of the World" he brought
the battlefields Of Europe to our
doors.
And now he has revived what is
undoubtedly the most picturesque and
strangely fascinating period of Amer
lean history--the days Of 40. Days
when life was at its fullest, days Of
adventure and romance, days Of ro-
bust gallantry-scarlet days.
That's the name of d. W. Griffith's
newest production-"S Scarlet Days" ="
1t is not wild west story--it is Il
story unlike anything ever done be-
fore. What Griffith presents on his
colorful backgrounds is--human life.
Whenever life is intense and vivid,
be it in the living present or in u
forgotten age, Griffith finds his ma
terial.
You will love the characters in
Scarlet Days"-Alvarez. the gal
liant bandit; Randolph, the heroic
aristocrat; Chiquita, the bandits
sweetheart; Rosy Nell, and all the
others, whose lives become real in
Griffith's hands. This colorful story
of the days of 40 will be shown in
connection with q two reel comedy at
the Lyceum Theatre, Saturday night,
March 18th. You'll like It. Come.

Figures never lie," it has been
claimed. but this is far from the

has escaped detection for yeai-, -,nows
that figures can be made to lie The
shrewd politician. who knows how to
juggIe statistics. knows that they can
be made to tell n story that is far from

But there is another medium OF ex-

That is a picture. A picture of any

Pictures Better Than Words.
Pictures have come to occupy a very
important place in the life of the world
in recent years. II has been said that
for newspaper purposes a picture
which tells its story strikingly is worth
more than columns of written words
on the same subject. Newspapers and
magazines have realized the truth of
this fact and as result pictures are
used profusely in illustrating the news
and fiction OF the day
No one has been quicker to realize
the possibilities of the picture when
prpperiy-or IL might be said imDrop-
erly-used. than the mail order man.
He has realized that a picture Will
do more to sell his kind of merchan-
iise than a column of words and fig
ures. One reason for this Is that il
Is harder to catch a picture in lie
than IL is printed words and figures.
For instance. If you sell a man a table
on the strength OF printed statement
that IL is rs inches wide and If wher
the table REACHES the customer IL il
only SO inches wide, the customer not
only has a moral right to kick. but
he has legal right TO accuse the SELL
er OF obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. However, IL the customer
buys table which looks in picture
TO be IS inches wide. but which proves
upon its arrival TO be only SO inches
wide. he has no legal grounds upon
which to base complaint IL the sell
er has not told him in so many words
that the table was IS inches wide
