splendid opportunities to make the
best of her rare dramatic talents.
Unusual care has been exercised
in surrounding her with n capable
cast, and no expense will be spared
to make her debut with Metro a
notable one.
Miss Dana is a supreme artist in
every sense of the word. Her YER
satility and charm are delightfully."-
refreshing al her powers of dra-
matte expression have a quality
that is all Nj Danas own. Early
in her career she created a sensa-
ton in her wonderful delineation of
the stellar role in THE Poor Little
Rich Girl" one of the most success
full plays ever seen on Broadway.
Since coming to motion pictures
Miss Dana has found the most COM
plete expression of her art For in
the silent drama she is called upon
to essay a new character every few
weeks, while on the speaking stage
she was held to one part for from
one TO two years.

ALICE JOYCE -

Many of the greatest men and wo-
men of the stage have had their names
associated with one certain play.
Alice Joyce seems destined to have
the same distinction. The Vitagraph
star has had success after success, but,
like all other motion picture stars. she
has been without a role that stood out
separate and distinct from the rest. In
The Vengeance of Durand," adapted
from Rex Beach's powerful story
adapted by Mr.. and Mrs. George Ran
dolph Chester, she has the best role
in her notable career.

This little house is a regular love

ture-individuality. 1t does not look

by contractor, but that it was planned

In planning heating system, it

whole basement, the one chimney be

the kitchen as well as the furnace
underneath. The cellar stairway leads
down from the kitchen and there is
a stairway leading up from the rear
bedroom TO the half-story overhead
and the problem of storage is thus
cared for very nicely.
The whole exterior is stucco and
reinforced with triangular mesh gal
vanized steel which laps around the
corners, making a very solid and sub

RAINY TOMORROW

II APERTS are agreed that sooner
H or later there may be a slump in
financial matters, and that money will
be much harder to get than it is now.
Salaries may fall, there may again be
much unemployment-in short, after
lot of fair weather, rain may be looked
for.
Are you getting your umbrella and
overshoes, metaphorically speaking,
for the wet spell?
In other words, are you laying aside
some of the money you are getting to-
day for the time when you find it diff
cult to make as much?
No woman in business or employ
ment of any kind should spend her en-
tire income. Even with the best of
luck there is likely TO be time when
money is badly needed, and when a
sum in the bank or properly invested
may be really life saver.
A spell of illness. an accident.
sudden responsibility-these things
are apt TO come TO any Of US, to all of
u.s. To meet them we need more than
the regular sum we make; we need a
reserve. And it is a fatal mistake TO
spend your entire income in the full
days, simply because you take it for
granted that you viii always go on
making az much as you are now, or
even more, You may do so, you may
make more for awhile, and again you
may not And If you have never de-
veloped the habit OF saving part OF
what you make you will be no more
secure when your income grows larger.
because you will continue to spend
it all.
It is no use counting on IL always
being FAIR AND WARMER for you.
Make sure that some day ii will read.
RAIN TOMORROW, and that it will
be right Be prepared. And espe-
cially now, when the world is In a
most upset condition, and when any
thing may happen, make your own
future as secure as you may by lay
ing something away each week. and
by buying sound securities when you
have enough laid by 10 do so.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"MRs. GRUNDY."

~ nee upon a time-and not
" so very far back, at that
there was a real Mrs. Grundy.
the wife Of Judge Felix Grundy
of Nashville. Tenn. The lady
belonged TO the best social set
OF the Southern city and her
opinions ON good form were
highly respected though. in the
light of modern uSageS, they
would be considered extremely
straight-laced.
During the time at which Mrs.
Felix Grundy ruled the social
set of Nashville il happened that
a theatrical company visited the
city, presenting play known as
speed the Plough" History
does not state whether the piece
was humorous or serious, vulgar
or refined. In Mrs. Grundy's
mind il was enough that il was
4 dramatic production for the
wife of the judge held that the
ater-going was n pastime which
should not be INDUCED in by
ladies and gentlemen because of
the fact that il was frowned
upon by the church. BY a curl
Gus coincidence, one of the char
acters of the play was also
named Mrs. Grundy and the
audience laughed whenever she
was mentioned. The connection
was later explained TO Noah NJ.
Ludlow, manager Of the COM
pany. and the name was launched
in theatrical parlance as the
title of a mythical person who
rules the social and moral des-
tinies of community.
After Martin Van Buren's
election to the presidency, Judge
Grundy was made attorney gen.
eral of the United States-but
his claim TO fame is rs nothing
when compared TO that of his
wife.
