ASK SUPPORT OF MOVIE

Editor The State Journal:
DNring the week just closed the
support of Topeka's first moving pic
ture production, 1.-The Girl From To-
cast. but directed and shot by pro-
fessionals of long experience, has been
literally supported by Topeka citizens.
The project was launched and is
being sponsored by the Kiwanis club,
one of the youngest but Invest clubs of
the city. The making of this picture
with it's local cast, the first effort of
its kind ever attempted in the city, Is
a novelty out of the ordinary and on
this account is playing" to full houses
nightly.
There is, tho. a feature in connec-
ton with the making of this photo
play which has not been sufficiently
impressed upon the public, and that IS
that if the project is a financial sue
cess, one of Topeka's most deserving
charity and welfare organizations will
be the chief beneficiary
The principal profits above the ex-
pense of production of the picture will
go to the Topeka Provident associa-
ton, long recognized as one of the
most efficient and necessary COM
munity institutions. maintained by the
charitably inclined residents of the
city.
The president of the Provident as
ISOLATION, together with Mrs Chas. B.
Thomas and Mrs. Otto B. Cutler, who
are cooperating with the executive
committee of Kiwanis and Director LIE
White in the production of the picture,
state that they will appreciate the ac-
tive cooperation, during the coming
and last week of the showing of the
picture, of each individual, society or
ganization or group of citizens who
are interested in the Provident asso-
citation, getting behind the project
with Al the helm which thew ca1 ay-
tend, consistent with the time which
they can spare for that purpose. A
long hard winter lies ahead of the as
ISOLATION, when hundreds of deserv-
ing calls for help must be answered
and to do this they must build up the
funds which they have on hand for
that purpose. The success of 1.-THE
Girl from Topeka" will help to that
end. H. H PUGH.

LIKE HOME MOVIE
Showing of 'GirI From Topeka"
Draws Big Crowd.
Much Applause Given to Local
Talent Actors.

Applause for a movie show has al
most passed out of existence as far as
the fans Of Topeka are concerned, but
the form of tribute was revived last
night at the Grand theater at the
showing of 1.-The Girl From Topeka ="
the local talent movie staged and
shown by the Kiwanis club for the
benefit of the Topeka Provident asso-
citation. Scene after scene was given
a round and sometimes two of ap-
plause and at the very start OF the
showing. the "by-line" crediting D1-
rector Charles LIE Witt with the work
was received with a particularly
heavy salute from the audience.
A packed house greeted the film
and there is every indication that the
record established by the Kiwanlans
last week will be repeated this week.
There were 10, 900 TOpekans in at
tendance during the filming of the
various scenes of the play that is now
being shown on the screen. The hit
scored by the Kiwanis club, was not
only that they picked some mighty
clever young Topekans to play the
parts called for by the scenario, but
in that they secured the services of
the best director possible and that

scenes.
Story Was Wen Acted.
The story of the three Reeler''
shown last night was not filled with
intense moments, neither was it out
of the ordinary in the way of story,
but it was well acted and well pre-
scented in every possible manner. Far
and above all, the audience person
ally knew each and every face that
appeared before the camera and
every one in the audience had seen at
least two or three scenes of the play
while it was in the making. There
was the thrill. Each person remem-
bered how the scenes looked when he
had watched Director LIE Witt put the
actors thru their PAGES before the
camera. Each wanted to see how
that scene looked to the eye of the
camera. Each expressed his surprise
that the camera saw so much more
than he did.
The story as it was put together in
the films by LIE Witt proved to be a
well seasoned dish of comedy and
melo- drama mixed with an expert
enced hand. It tells the tale of the
young lady (Virginia Miller), who
married the man of her choice (Henry
Anton), and how the villain who was
also the rejected lover John Bauer

with the assistance of a local tough
Virgil Lawrence). She is taken to

the girl in love with the villain (Mar-

save Virginia. The hero leading

the villain, who is finally subdued and
arrested by the ever trailing police.

Suppose you had the settling
Of your nei8hbors problem

Postum is free from the possibility of harm
for any one, and full of comfort and satisfac-
ton for every one. Even the little children
can share in the delights of hot, mealtime
cup of Postum.
No fears, either that Postum will rob the
night of sleep as coffee so often does. Postum
is a friendly drink for any one any time.
And it's good! When you've tried Postum
few days you'll wonder why you ever thought
of Sacrifices in leaving off coffee or tea. Rich
and flavory and satisfying, Postum suits the
taste so that there's no longer any thought
that you should drink it; only the thought
that you want to drink it.
Postum opened the better road and the safe
road for coffee and tea drinkers more than
a quarter of a century ago, and steadily
increasing multitude is travelling that road
up and on to better enjoyment, better eff
cheney, better accomplishment.
You can buy Postum wherever good food
and drink are sold and served. You can begin,
now, this turn to the right road which you
would so quickly recommend for Brown-by
ordering Postum from your family grocer OF
telling your waiter at the restaurant to serve
you Postum instead of coffee or tea.
Make Postum according to directions and
enjoy its delicious flavor; find the change in
feeling after weeks use ofPostum. Let the
family join you in the trip up the sunrise way.
You'd know what to say to Browr-say it
to yourself.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 22.-Rumors
that Henry Ford had begun negotia-

Whitehead, with oficials of the rail-

of the Katy lines. After inspecting the
shops here, they left for st. Louis to

road, and Do 1t Now.

Suppose the road Brown is on is the coffee
or tea road. Hundreds have had trouble on
that road. Doctors have sounded the warning
for the public, and raised the "no-trafhc' sign
for their patients time and time again. The
drugs, caffeine in coffee and them in tea, keep
whipping the nerves tending to interfere with
sleep, upset digestion, produce high blood
pressure, and to wear down health and eff
cheney by the disturbance of rest and nervous
balance. Some folks go a long way on the road;
some folks don't seem to notice the jolts-for
while, anyway.
But what would you say to Brown about
choosing the safe road instead of the risky one?
And suppose Brown were you?
Postum users travel the sunrise road
away from the coffee and tea jo1ts and risks.

SUPPOSE it was Browns case that was
~ up for consideration. Brown is heading
in direction that has brought trouble to lot
of peop1e-a direction known to be full of risks.
Brown himself isn't going any too good. There
are days when he hits bumps harder than
he can comfortably Standard he shows it.
There's another road that Brown could
travel safely smooth, comfortable, pleasant.
and absolutely safe.
And Brown came to you for advice. And
you'd look at the facts and you'd say: ''Why,
Brown, there's nothing to this thing. It
doesn't take any argument to decide this.
