to time to address the Lexington
club, according to Mr.. Garstin.
The greatest difficulty in the
work of the Associated Advertising
Club is to get the buyers of adver-
Using properly interested, Vice
President Garstin said. Notwith-
standing the fact that the advertis-
ing appropriation is the greatest ex-
pense to the purchaser Of adver-
Using, the advertiser is too apt to
leave the matter of its use to the
seller of space. Mr.. Garstin declar-
ed that it was matter of plain dol
lars and cents with the advertiser to
increase his knowledge of advertise
ing and to avail himself Of the OPP
portunity of acquiring this knowl-
edge through ad clubs.
"Truth in Advertising" the slo-
gan of the Associated Advertising
Clubs, is to be put into effect during
the present year in stronger way
than ever before attempted previ-
ously by the national body, Mr.. Gar
stin said. An appropriation Of
$150,Oc0 for vigilance work alone in
1921 has been made by the national

lnat Tue present peflOu OF DuSi-
ness depression is doomed to short
life was the opinion expressed by
Bert N. Garstin, vice president AS
ISOLATED Advertising Clubs, Of the
World, in an address on adyertis-
ing problems in 1921, delivered be-
fore the members of the Lexington
Advertising Club at the Lafayette
Hotel Monday night.
Mr.. Garstin based his opinion on
information gathered from bankers,
manufacturers and business men on
an extensive trip East as the repre-
sentative Of the executive committee
Of the Associated Advertising Club.
business men are becoming more
optimistic each day." the speaker
said. "This was not true a few
months ago. The concensus Of opin-
ion now is that the period of defla-
ton in raw materials and manufac-
turing has about reached its low
point"
A period Of deflation was newt
able, Mr.. Garstin pointed out. Mer-
chants realized that the time would
arrive when goods on hand would
probably have to be sold for what
they would bring. Taking into ac-
count the situation as whole and in
comparison with previous years, the
business man should look upon pres
ent conditions in favorable light,
he said.
"The hard period is over" the
speaker said. eve have got to take
some losses. In my opinion the pres
ent condition is short lived. 1t is like
an April shower. 1t will make you
as wet as hard rain, but there is
the consolation that you can see the
sun shining through it and know
that it is only temporary"
Seventy five business men and
women of Lexington attended the
ad club meeting to hear the solu-
ton Of advertising problems as ex-
pounded by Mr.. Garstin. The New
Year, with an uncertain outlook to
many advertisers, promised to offer
new problems in the proper expen-
diture of advertising appropriations,
and the speaker was asked to de-
vote the major part of his talk to
this feature.
Mr.. Garstin, as vice president of !
the Associated Advertising Clubs Of |
the World, gave some interesting
facts concerning the operation Of |
the organization which he represent
ed and stated that he had planned to
confine bis address largely along
that line, but upon being informed
of the desire of his audience to hear
more about business conditions and
the outlook for 1921 from an ad-
ver.ising standpoint launched into
highly interesting portrayal of con-
ditions as he had found them in the
East and of opinions expressed by
leading business men of the coun-
try with whom he had come in con-
tact.
"The part advertising is going to
play is the same dependable force
it was before we entered into the
war;" he said. eve relied on it dur
ing the war and we can safely rely
on it now. II is not a cure-all, but
the problems OF 1921 can be helped
by advertising, and advertising is
going to do its share.
"The value of advertising is not
measured in the week or month in
which it appears. Business men who
use advertising make the mistake of
charging it to sales. A certain
amount of Advertising ought to Re
charged back to capital. 1t is a
fixed asset

the unique methods many of the Lee

'.DAUCHTER OF THE DON" AT ,
81. THE REX THEATER FRIDAY

Daughter of the Don,"' which
comes to the Rex theater Friday next
is Il tale Of lower California at the
time of the Mexican war. 1t is a re-
markable picture filled with thrills
and suspense and is a faithful pic
turization of the people and condi-
tions of those days when the sturdy
pioneer was. Wrestling part of the vir-
gin territory from the grip Of nature
and turning it into prosperous cities
and towns and productive farm lands.
= A great deal of trouble and expense
was gone to by the company produc-
ing this picture, in order to procure
proper atmosphere and detail. An ex-
pert was engaged to delve into that
little known portion of American his
tory, which treats of those days, and
faithful reproduction of the gowns
worn by the women and costumes Of
the men were made. 1t was necessary
to secure proper military arms, as an
engagement is shown between the
Spanish General Pho Pico and Gener-
al Fremont's men which resulted in
the changing of the history of the
United States by securing that terri
tory for American annexation.
Contrasted with modern warfare
this engagement lis remarkably edu-
cational, for it shows the strides that
have been made in the past 70 years.
= The picture will be found not only
intensely interesting from dramatic
standpoint but highly educational as
we'll, and should be seen by every good
American, for it portrays little
known chapter Of American history.

PoLA NEGRI TRIUMPHs A"
AGAIN IN GYPSY BLOOD

!. What may be rightly termed one
of the most finished and artistic pro-
'ductions yet seen on the screen is the
foreign film, Gypsy Blood" adapted
-from Prosper Merimee's immortal
Carmen" which opened an engage
ment at the Rex theater last night.
a. Pola Negri is seen in the role of
La Carmencita, and this latest vehicle
demonstrates that this wonderful
star from across the ocean is an
artist of the first rank. b.,
.$tt In ,"P PASSION" in which Pola Negri
made her debut on the. American
screen, she was Il marvel. In Gypsy
Blood she portrays the fiery little
cigarette girl as the role has never
been portrayed before.
Twice before has Carmen" been
filmed, but the eye was not deceived
then. This time, however, a photo
drama that deserves to be called an
epic Of the screen has been accom-
s5aplished. tSs..t> .'-' So
Z" Pola Negri is Il great emotional
! actress. With fire and temperament
the Polish star throws herself into
the part so. realistically that she &C
tually seems, to be living it.
y This triumph of the motion picture
lis shared by Ernst Lubitsch, a wizard
of production, who also directed Pola
Negri in hersFprevious success, and
4by the members Of the cast support
ing the star. Harry Liedtke gives a
splendid Characterization of the
