distinctive because of the whirlwind
speed of their action. Blind Wives
the William Fox masterpiece that will
be shown at the Rex theater begin
ming next Sunday, is a picture that
stands out because Of its great dra-
matte value, also because of its vtrile,
pulsating action-but principally be-
cause its story is unfOlded against a
background of gorgeous splendor so
dazzling and so beautiful that 1t real

Theli of the idle rich, the vast
rels Of society who toll not, neither
do they spin, are shown witch a hdel-
ity sd new to theatrical presentation
that it marks milestone in the
development of cinema possibilities.
There are all the spectacular beau
ties Of Lucile's (Lady Duff Gordon)
scintillating fashion show, parading
in a bewildering lot Of gowns worth
a kings ransome. There is beauty,
there is wealth, there is grandeur.
The colorful background OF this
mighty production makes it one OF
the most unusual of photodranas.

1921 WESTERN MELODRANfA
/. COMING TO GRAND THEATER

One of the most powerful, stirring
and colorful photodramas Of the year
is coming to the Grand theater Sat
urday and Sunday. 1t is Benjamin B.
.Hampton's production, THE Killer
said to be one of the greatest of the
brilliant producers works.
THE Killer" is an up-tp-the-min-
ute picture, which combines romance
and color Of the old West with some
thing that only the modern age can
give in, the way of realism and grip
ping with suspense.
Adapted from Stewart Edward
Whites newest novel, 1.-The Killer"
is evidence that Ben Hampton stands
alone as the perfect visualizer of
novels. ALI the points that went to
make the book best seller are en-
phasized in the photoplay version.
That sinister figure, The Killer
said to be the strangest character in
literally comes to life
through the art OF Frank Campeau,
the famous character actor. Claire
Adams plays the leading and only
feminine role, with Jack Conway
cast in the romantic lead. ~

of the Saturday Evening Post, where
in it recently appeared under the title

tales of the Pittsburgh Steel Mills,
which established his vogue as a

full study and thought. There are
many modern features in hOme-build-

most important developments in home
building in the last decade has been
that of sun parlors and sleeping

pecially when sleeping these two fac
tors have become prominent parts of

improvements have been made in
their construction until now they are
near perfection as possible. -
Another important factor in home
building is the material to be used.
Because of its permanency and
strength, brick is used extensively. 1t
insures n great deal OF protection
against fire and is specified in many
building codes. AS an excellent eX-

contrast of the white stone trim
against the darker brick background
is quite striking. In the sun parlor

have been used insuring maximum
