WHAT TO SEE IN
PHILADELPHIA

A new Paramount picture starring
Thomas Meighan, widely known as the
good luck" star. Mr.. Meighan is a
prime favorite with film fans, and is
to be seen in another crook picture,
and in which he has the role of a
young man who although innocent of
crime is sent to states prison on cir
cumstantial evidence. "The City of
Silent Men" is Mr.. Meighan's latest
feature at the Stanley Theatre. 10th &
starring vehicle and it will be the
Market Sts., Philadelphia, the week of
May 10th.
Thomas Meighan didn't become a
star overnight. His motion picture
career has been marked by big a
chievements. He has appeared as lead
ing man for nearly every noted woman
star, and has been seen in numerous
big special productions. He won the
admiration of millions by his remark
able Characterization in 1.-THE Mir
aele Man., and his role in male and
Female, "Why Change Your Wife?",
'The Prince Chap" and Conrad In
Quest of His Youth, and he is today
one Of the most popular players on
the screen.
His new picture, "The City of ST.
lent Men,, is an unusually strong
story in which the star essays one of
the most sympathetic roles he has
ever portrayed. He has the part of a
bucolic young man who goes to the
city, becomes the tool of two yegg
men, and is convicted of murder on
circumstantial evidence and sent to
prison. The story shows his escape,
the rebuilding of his life in the west,
his persecution by hardned detectives
and his final vindication.
Lois Wilson, who has played numer-
Gus elading feminine roles in Para
mount Pictures, and who scored by her
winning portrayals in Midsummer
Madness" and what Every Woman
Knows" is Mr. Meighan's leading
woman. Paul Everton and George Mac
Quarrie, play character and a
heavy role, respectively, Mr.. Everton
essaying the role of Old Bill, con-
Wet, and Mr.. MacQuarrie detective.
Kate Bruce plays Mrs. Montgomery,
the boys mother, and Guy Oliver is
Mr.. Bryant, the girls father.
The minor roles are in excellent
hands, Director Forman being care
full to select only such types as best
suited the characters portrayed.

Warns Credit Men

BY Fake Merchants
J. Ell. Tregoe Reveals Scheme
OF 'SFly-by-Nighis'' Who

lmpersonating Customers

j. III. Tregoe, executive secretary of
the National Association of Credit Men,
iast night sent a warning to the $4,000
manufacturers, wholesalers and bank
ers who are members of the organiza-
ton to be on their guard against crooks
who have swindled reputable business
houses out of 100000 by representing
themselves as well-rated merchants.
Mr. Tregoe said that the investiga-
prosecution department of his as

try-wide campaign to block the latest
move made by professional commercial
swIndlers who have already obtained
valuable goods by trading on the names
Of large concerns. Some of the mer-
chandise obtained by the trade crooks
has been recovered by the association,
he said.
Manufacturers, wholesalers and lob
bers are warned by Mr.. Tregoe against
shipping merchandise to applicants for
credit merely upon a rating without
obtaining credit report which, in ad
dition TO showing the antecedents Of
the applicants, would give their correct
address.
Even though the houses highly rated
are perfectly good" said Mr.. Tregoe.
credit grantors should make sure that
the persons applying for credit are
really connected with the houses rated.
and not merely trading under the same
name at a different address. These
swindlers apply for credit and refer to
rating books regarding their ability to
pay. Finding the rating to be salts

the address given by the applicants,
who maintain fly-by-night headquarters
which often are on the same street

Brown S Job
Brown S Job

brown is gone, and many men
IN the trade are wondering who
is going to get Browns job. -
G. There has been considerable
speculation about this. Browns
job was reputed to be good job.
Browns former employers, wise,
grey-eyed men, have had to sit
still and repress amazement as
they listened to bright, ambi-
tlous young men and dignihed
old ones seriously apply for
Browns job.
r Brown had a big chair and a
wide, hat-topped desk covered
with sheet of glass. Under the
glass was map Of the United
States. Brown had a salary of
thirty thousand dollars a year.
And twice a year Brown made a
"trip to the coast" and called
on every one of the firms dis
tributors.
p He never tried to sell any,
thing. Brown wasn't exactly in
the sales department.. He visited
with the distributors, called on
few dealers, once in a while
made a little talk to bunch of
statesmen. Back at the office he
answered most of the important
complaints, although Browns
job wasn't to handle complaints.
Brown wasn't in the credit
department either, but vital
questions of credit usually got
to Brown, somehow or other,
and Brown would smoke and
talk and tell joke, and untwist
his telephone cord and tell the
credit manager what to do.
Whenever Mr.. Wythe, the
impulsive little president, work !
ing like beaver, would pick up
a bunch of papers and peer into
a particularly troublesome and
messy subject, he had way of
saying, "What does Brown say'
What does Brown sayl What
the hell does Brown say?-Well,

And that was disposed. I

people this heroine Is the most nerve
racking. Now, the first great error lay
with the man who decided that Jewel
Carmen was a star. She lacks every
thing that star should have, including
talent, beauty and sense of humor.
No; we are not acquainted with Miss

to resist to the limit any attempt to

however, and the officers are said 20

Whether a showdown will be rad in
the case on Tuesday is question. It
is the general belief that if Judge
Smith orders the warrants into the
hands of Sheriff Mester for service,
ample time will be given him to get
service.
If the Governor believes that any

say, Brown, you handle that. %
p And then one day, the direc-s
tors met unohicially and decided
to FIRE the superintendent of

this until the day after the letter
had gone. "Whar do you think

Brown said, "That's all right.
The letter won't be delivered
until tomorrow morning, and
