THE HOTEL \ADEAU.

Old-time visitors to Los Angeles will
remember the Nadeau as the top-notch
of hotcldom in the Southwestern me-
tropolis. Its location at First and
Spring streets was the bullseye of tle
business radius and the service was
such that the visitor, his friends and
his friends friends would g again
and again when business or pleasure
called them to the city.
And today, the hotel is not less for
tunate in having a clientele who APP
preciate not only its excellent service,
which includes free transportation 20
and from all trains, but the added adj
vantage of the moderate prices which
prevail. One of its 200 comfortable
rooms may be had as low as $1.00 a
day for a single person or $3.50 for
two. 1t is still close to the city's main
activities, so that the out-of town bust
ness man or shopper can make it a
convenient stopping place. Garage
handy.

ELL FARNTM RETURNS

The popular William Farnum will be
here again next Saturday in a big
emotional photoplay called His Great
est Sacrifice" This will be shown at
the Palace Airdome theater.
The dramatic art as eXemplitied on
the screen by Mr.. Farnum has been
a JOY to all motion picture followers,
and, according to advance reports,
reports, His Greatest Sacrifice is a
picture that gives the star an oppor-
tunity to lay all of his great screen
powers at the feet of the photodrama-
tic public.
The story has to do with the lives of
husband and wife. who both have am
billions to gather the applause of the
public-she as an opera singer and he
as writer. He feels that his work
will rebound to the credit and the en-
joyment of his wife ard child, while
she is selfish and vain, and seeks only
the personal JOY and position her voice
will bring her. She achieves fame, but
she loses what she later learns to be
the greatest joy-the love of her hus-
band and child.
Alice Fleming plays the wife and
Evelyn Greedy the daughter, in this
