WASHINGTON, May 25.-The re-
turn of prosperity depends upon each
one of us in business, We must. i'm
prove our advertising and selling

said President Macintosh, II have
told a total audience of $4,000 bust
ness men and women that if they
want business to be better they must
make it better; that if they sit with
folded hands, waiting for conditions
to improve and for business to get
better of it's own accord, conditions
will not improve and business will not
get better, that the responsibility
for the return of prosperity rests
upon every individual engaged in
business. Thirty-fve thousands in
my audiences have been retailers,
who control the tap at the end of the
pipeline of business. | have urged
them to turn on that tap by adopt

of a sound and permanent business
building character, and have placed

matte vehicle is the magnetic screen
attraction at the Rylander Theater
Friday and Saturday.
The production in which she ap-
pears is "Smilin Through" screen
version of Allen Langdon Martins
famous play that gained new laurels
for Jane Cowl on the speaking stage
Norma is at her histrionic best in
the dual role that this powerful
drama gives her. She is seen first
as the fair Monyeen, who is slain
on her wedding day by a jealous
sutton. Then she is the young and
beautiful Kathleen, who is the image
of her deceased aunt, Monyeen.
Kathleen falls in love with Ken
meth Wayne, son of the man who
killed Monyeen, and the obstacles
placed in the way of the young low
ers by John Cataret, who was to
have made Monyeen his wife, form
the nucleus of a most absorbing plot
with charming romance.
In this production Miss Talmadge
does some of the very best acting
of her career. The photoplay itself
is the finest she has yet made.
Harrison Ford provides excellent
support in the dual role of Kenneth
Wayne and jeremiah Wayne, while
performance as John Carteret.
Others in the mast whose fine work
contributes to the all-around merit
of this magnificent production are
Alec B. Francis, Glenn Hunter, Grace
Griswold, Miriam Battista and
Eugene Lockhart.
"Smilin' Through" was directed by
Sidney Franklin and is First Ma
tional attraction.

go back to the old prohibitory
law and to the keepers of base
ment rum-holes, who were re-
peatedly fined for selling and
kept right on with scarcely a
ripple in the general routine Of
business However, when the
cumulative sentence law land

that to themselves and to their
