Dear Miss HeckIin:---
A new Cecil B. De Mile pictured
If you've seen male and Female,
'Why Change Your Wife,, or any of the
other brilliant De Mile productions you
know what treat that means.
The latest De Mile picture is called
Something to Think About. It's re-
freshingly different from anything he has
ever attempted befcr re. The story is
bout plain folks and deep in its heart ap-
peal. A country girl who allows sudden
infatuation to sweep her away from the
man she really loves is the central figure
Beautiful Gloria Swanson is the heroine
and Elliot Dexter, whom you liked SO well
in "For Better, For Worse, plays the
leading male role. Such favorites as
Theodore Roberts and Monte Blue are
also in the cast. It's Paramount pict-
ure.
Produced with all the De Mile artistry,
Something to Think About" is bound to
delight you. We will show it Friday, July
lst. May we expect you?
Sincerely,
w. G. Atkinson,
Mananor
