Monday nt the Crescent

"Tnunder island" Edith Roberts
latest photGdrama. to be shown at
the Crescen' theatre on Monday, is
said to be, an artistic triumph for
Norma Dawn. its director.
Dawn became a director after he
had lifted himself to the foremost
place amor motion picture photo
grarhers. lie has the rare faculty of
using Photographic channels to reach
big dramatic moments, and in
..T1under Island" is said to exceed
even his admirable work with Miss
Roberts in such productions as Las
ca" .'Tha- Adorable Savage" and
The FiterCat"
Were Colonel Roosevelt alive he
would probably call Norman Dawn
mature fihir. f3r the young di-
sector makes his camera do strange
.his;gs. A splendid example of this
IS TO be seen in Miss Roberts cur
rem. picture.
fne opening of the story shows the
star in O dual role: a little MEXICAN
saepner6ess and her brother. Unlike
r.ost instanCeg OF double exposure,
the two identities are seen in close
contact ANA IN one amazing scene,
Miss Roberts kisses her brother
In othe words she actually is seen
kissing herself.
Tnrousho the romantic story
there are uaany Photographic r
prises .Tapnder Island was orig
ina.iy written by Beatrice Grimshaw,
author of many South Sea Island

Home Decorations
The Improvement IN home construe-
tion is not a matter of u day, but is Il
matter of gradual progress, year by
year. Fortunately, however, the mat
ter of home decoration can be much
more quickly accomplished and tnc cN-
pense involved is vastly, less.
While fine furniture of rare and
costly woods is always beautiful and
high priced wall decorations and hang
ings will be always la demand by those
able to afford them, mis- does not pre-
vent people of more moderate means
making their homes bright, cheerful
and. Just as arCistic as Il much less cost.
On every hand people of moderate
means are showing wonderful inter
est in home beautifying and this is
being reflected ia tN stores, far after
all, what the stores carry is governed
by popular demand and not tie re
verse-popular demand by what the
stores carry.
The Winter OF Content
The warm summer days are over and
OF the stores of the valley are blossom
ing forth with lovely displays OF DIP
cries, furniture and floor coverings. Ii
might be ventured that no store Of i'm
rortance III the whole valley has failed
to honor National Better Homes Week
by special window display.
Styles in Furniture
Fiber furniture seems to be the pOpu-
iar demand and it is beng displa we'd III
u great variety of styles and types.
Much of it is upholstered. CretCnne3
and tapestries in many brilliant coioiS
prevailing. Deeply cushioned as they
are, these pieces are exceedingly coih-
Portable. Painted finishes are many
and varied, especially good blended eff
ects having beer produced. Not onl'
have the better designs of wood farm,
ture been copied but the period designs
have been adapted as wen.
Despite the popularity of the fiber
furniture, luxurious overStuffed d,,vcn-
ports and chairs still hold then own
for the living room. Larger pieces
with pillow arms and stuffed cushions
being much in dcman0, for larger homes.
But for apartments and smaller houses
lighter pieces are wanted, semi-over
stuffed with carved bases and front
legs.
The popularity of period pieces has
not waned and if anything has incrcas-
ed, the preference being given TO Will
lam and Mary, Queen Anne and Chip
pcndale Among the lighter pieces one
finds cane furniture, but the demand
for that is growing less.
Embroidered motives on plain rapes-

National Better Homes
Week Stimulates Interest
In Home Decoration

This week is being celebrated through
out the United States as Better Homes
Week In every part Of the country
| keen interest is being aroused by beau
tiful window displays, interesting edi-
torials and helpful advertisements,
showing all the latest and most artistic
methods of homemade decoration and
Improvement.
Every wear this event shows inn
provement. The artistic standard OF
the country has been wonderfully ad-
vanced within the last few years and
no where has there been greater prog
ress than in home betterment.
This year the Imperial Valley has
taken its place in the van of progress
and has thrown itself wholeheartedly
into the furtherauce of better homes
week. The valley has definitely passed
the pioneer stage and people axe de-
manding that their homes be something
mere than a mere shelter from the cle-
ments.
Not only comfort, but beauty is de-
manded of the home and rightly so.
The family is the basis of our great
civilization and the home rs the cradle
of the family and it must be made Il
place worthy of American citizens.
Home is for the Child
1t is not only for the benefit of the
adults that this is necessary-it is pri-
marilv for the benefit of the children
that the home must exenplify ali that
is best.
The child of today is the citizen of
tomorrow and his first few years are
of vast Importance in shaping his fu-
ture. The first 10 years of the child S
life has an abiding influence and if
they are passed in happy, helpful,
artistic home environment it is almost
certain to mean that the child will
grow up into a useful, worthy citizen
of our country.
Not Mere Sojorners
No longer do people look upon the
Imperial Valley as a place merely to
spend few years IN, piling up the dol
lars: but they look upon it as the dwell
ing place of Il life time; a place tc
call home; a place to bring up their
children in and then-in the fuilnes5
of years-a place to lay aside the cares
and troubles of life and spend a HAPPY
old age in the bosom of their family
surrounded By the friends and cGm-
panions of lifetime of honest and
productive effort.
This attitude is reflected in the more
substantial and permanent tyres of
homes that are being erected, here and
there, homes that exemplify beauty as
well rs comfort, homes that will be
passed on to the next generation. still
subst antial and comodious. However.
much still remains to be done in this
direction. Entirely 100 many houses
are erected of flimGy material with TO

The Desire fer Simplicity
There is {, prevalilng desire for SIM
plcity and this accounts for the mark
ed absence of French styles i'll the or
nate period of the Louis. Their cicbor-
ateness does not accord With real Amer
lean taste and in particular with that
of Southern California, which is to a
great extent guided BY the more severe
Mission designs.
Here, in the Imperial Valley, the
warm summers cause the lighter pieces
to be always in demand, though wal
nut. on. account of It's durability and
beauty, is in never failing demand. \

very attractive, while an old fashioned

Imperial Valley Taste
The stores of III Centre and the I'm
perial Valley as a whole, have not fail
cd TO closely watch the progress OF the
styles and displays of all the latest
and best i'll furniture, rugs and habg
ings win be found. Certainly this is a
matter of real eongratulation. Just a
few short years ago houses in the I'm
perial Valley were merely houses and
not homes and just SO long as 1t was
useful, almost anything did for furni
ture.
Today the valley presents vastly
different picture Tasteful decoration ;
: in the home are the rule--not the eX-
; eeption, and it can be safely said, that,
as whole, the peop.I of the valley are
not behind the people of any commun-
| ity of similar size i'll the country, IN
their choice of home furnishings and

Mrs. Margaret Hill probably the

About a year ago Mrs. Hill suffered
from congestion OF the lungs and
since then she has been confined to
her bed although she can sit up. In
her cozy room she lives, surrounded
by pictures Of friends, especially fav-
or1te pastors OF Harrison Street
Church, of which she has been q men,
Der for many years. She takes a keen
interest In the world about her, and
enjoys seeing her friends. In spite of
her great age. her hearing Is prac-
tically normal and although she miss
es not being able TO read or sew, her
eyesight is still so keen that she can
recognize visitors and see for about
a city square down the road outside
her window. Last summer she could
distinguish automobiles moving along
the pike some distance away, but
now she says she "can only see TO the
second tree" As she talked to a rep
resentative of Every Evening, she
paused TO remark about n woman and
a dog coming up the road TO the
