Pointers on Parking

Leave ample room between the
front Of your car and the machine
ahead when parking, for the man who
parks behind you will invariably run
his car as close as possible to yours.
II the car is left in a precarious po-
sition better use the parking lights
even If the local ordinance doesn't re-
quire you to do SO. If someone ran
into your car they wouldn't look you
up TO tell you the sad news. Ard If
you didn't happen to have collision in
surance you would be out Of luck.
When you see a parking space ahead
hurry along to it. If you take your
time someone will slip into the space
while you are preparing to back up.
American drivers work fast. The
early bird catches the space. to para
phrase bit Of Greek philosophy.

"Passion Flower" Provides Big Dra-

Norma Talmadge justly deserves
to be classed as one of America g
greatest actresses of either stage or
screen. This is the conclusion Of the
writer after viewing 1.-The Passion
Flower" which opened an engage
ment Of two days at the Opera House
last night. This charming little ar
tiste, who long ago won popularity
by her extraordinary emotional pow
ers. exhibits a depth Of feeling and
a versatility in 1.-THE Passion Flower"
that marks her as one Of the few
really great actresses of the silent
drama. And her screen version of
Jacinto Benavent's play, in which
Nance O'Neil starred on Broadway,
compares most favorably with the
stage drama.
And with the above feature for
today there are a smart two reel
