MURRAY.
A bit of local atmosphere in a small
town is shown in What Your Repu-
tation WORTH" which will be seen at
Murray theater. This atmosphere is
obtained around the village postoffic-
and in the country store, where the
older men of the village congregate
to whisper the gossip of the hour, look
wise and appear to know more than
they really do.
A pleasing touch is given when one
of the players, genuine article of
the rural districts, sticks his tongue
in his cheek, winks and looks wise.
This action has an important bearing
on the story 1t is at time when
Miss Griffith as Cara Deene and
Percy Marmont as Anthony Blake, her
employer, drive through the village
on sleighing trip.
The action Of the story is intensely
dramatic and the scenic backgrounds
are widely contrasted,. showing the
beauties of nature in the country and
the exquisite luxury of society in New
York City. A few flashes of a cheap
boarding house gives a pleasing touch
to the film.

est difference between quartet oil
ladies, and a male quartet (aside from
the tone level and other unavoidable

The woman who allows herself to
become stout loses her figure. Youth
and slenderneSs are so closely asso-
clated that even the young girl who
is stout is spoken of as mature and
is apt to be considered old long be-
fore her time.
You must not only be elastic to be
youthful; you must also be slim Elias
ITCHY may be a matter of exercise:
sl1mness is a matter of exercise and
diet. You have a golden opportunity
now to improve your figure. The
whole outdoor world tempts you. Get
out into it as much as you can.
If possible, play tennis; this keeps
you alert, makes you spring suddenly
into action, brings your eye, your
hand and arm into play. makes you
run suddenly and swiftly, sends your
blood racing and makes you fill your
lungs with air. A hard fought game
of tennis will make you exercise al
most every muscle in your body. In
my opinion, it is only excelled by
swimming as beneficial exercise.
Tennis is not the only outdoor
game. Even if you live in the heart
of the city and cannot get any athletic
exercise. you can still board a trolley,
ride to the city limits, and walk with
long, Swinging steps far out into the
picturesque greenness of the country.
This is not quite so good for you be-
cause it brings into play only the
lower part of the body. but it makes
the skin active, causes you to breathe
more deeply, and gives you country
air tn breathe too
Even this may be out of the reach
of some women, but every woman
can take a systematic course of
physical exercises every day in her
room. She should do so to keep her
figure trim.

MURRETTE


When you see Mabel Normand at
the Murrette theatre in What Hap
pened to Rosa" her new Goldwyn
picture which starts on Friday, you

best, but you will see her supported
by a cast that is worthy of special
notice.

screen character leading women in
the business, having been on the real
stage with such celebrities as keenan,.
Barrymore, Rankin, Lackeye d

experience. She breathes the breath
of life and energy, and when you
see this picture, you will at once
recognize in her the finished artist.

There will be further mcddling on the part
