.What Do Men Wanf

1t has remained for a woman
Lois Weber who is probably the
most important feminine screen
personality in America, to PROFOUND
and adduce in her latest and great
est picture. at Loew's Columbia this
week, the answer that has per-
picked the ages of womankind-
What Do Men wantT' This is the
title Of the production that began
an engagement of one week only
yesterday, and after an inspection
of il yesterday afternoon, when It
was presented for the first time in
Washington. it may be said with
conviction that Miss Weber has not
only propounded an altogether fas-
cinating question, but has answered
it with logic, force and "a asciaat-
ing skill.
Against a background of familiar,
small-town existence, Miss weber
has presented the scene of two
young folks who were youthful
sweethearts and who married early.
The mans love is of a more alb
stEact, detached quality though
the woman loves with the whole
force of her being. This disparity
of affection soon becomes. evident In
the mans indifference to hts wife and
when he inherits a, sum of money.
he finds the means Of gratifying the
restlessness that has come over him.
He then proceeds to contract an
affair with a notorious woman
though the wife is philosphieai
enough to realize that she must
await events. In time, the man Is
disillusioned by the temptress' and
is brought to a realization of the
worthiness of his wife's love. With
contrite heart. he goes back to
beg his wife's forgiveness but as
he approaches his house, he sees
the town Don Juan entering. Filled
with rage at his wife's apparent IN
fidelity, a reconciliation is almost
made impossible, but for the chance
word of a member of his family
which clears up his doubts and re-
veals his wife's real virtue. She,
kpowing that he has been taught
a lesson, takes him back into her
anection with a much better un-
Outstanding of their mutual per-
sonalities.
To the Interpretation Of this
story. Miss Weber. who personally
wrote, scenarized and directed
What Do Men want7' has brought
splendid cast of players. which
includes Claire Windsor, J. Frank
Gaendon. George Hackathorne,
Edith Kessler and many others.

Norma TaimadSe in The Wonderful
ThinE.,

Nofma IaimadEe In "The Wonderful
Thing.,
Norma Talmadge is the pictured
star of the bill announced for Gran
dalfs Theater the frst three days
Of the current week in the latest
First National release. The Won
derful Thing" fascinating roman nee
Of beautiful young American
heiress, educated In a French con-
vent and Infinitely more GaiIic than
North American upon her debut Into
fashionable London society. Miss
Talmadge has probably never had a
more consenial role than that of
the young bride in THE Wonderful
Thing" whose perfect love is
blasted by the seemingly authentic
revelation that her husband married
her only for her money.
Not only Is there tense drama in
this sterling subject and OPPORTUNITY
for the effective demonstration of
rich emotional endowments, but
there is also afforded the star an
exceptional field for the exercise of
comedy gifts that recent vehicles
have permitted to lie dormant.
There could be nothing more engag-
ing than the character study of the
supremely happy young girl which
Miss ralmadEe brings to the screen
during the early scenes OF this ex-
cellent study in temperamentalism.
There could be nothing finer, by the
same token, than the overpowering
of the crushed young
woman when she discovers. or
thinks she does. that her husbands
after all was not the perfect love.
The productionsis Is In itself note
worthy and the work of an unusu-
ally, proficient ensemble entitled to
more than passing notice. Harrison
Ford and Robert Agnew lead the
support, closely seconded by Mrs.
Lydig Hoyt. New York society
leader.

HOW LONG WILL
YOUR Teeth LAST?


The teeth are meant to last as
long as one needs teeth. The
enamel which covers them is by
far the hardest substance in the
body. With reasonable care,
anyone's teeth should last a
lifetime.
But most people neglect their
teeth A hurried brushing once
a day-and a trip to the dentist
when an ache begins-is about
what they Get. No wonder de-
cay begins early.
The first necessity is the right
dentifrice. Simple cleansing is
no longer considered sufficient
you must keep your mouth free
from acid. for acid-mouth in
eyitably leads to decay. Such a
dentifrice is Mag Lac. the milk

stantly corrects acid mouth (just
as milk of magnesia corrects
sour stomach) and thus prevents
the chief cause Of decay.
Brush the teeth thoroughly all
over. with Mag Lac twice a day
(once just before going to bed)
and you will see them become
brilliantly white in a short time,
your mouth will be free from
unpleasant taste, and you will
have guarded them against their
chief enemy-acid mouth. Then

COUNTY SINGING CONVENTION
MEETS AT ROCK HILL CHURCH.

The Henderson County Singing
Convention, which was in session at
Rock Hill, five miles East of Lexing-
ton, last Saturday and Sunday, but
added another occasion to the many
for which Rock Hill has become ia
nous. The singing and lectures and
shorter talks on music by well-known
professors of the "Divine Art" were
richly enjoyed and the Rock Hill COM
munity, as we'll as those who came to
the convention from varying distances
were lucky in having with them such
singers and instructors as Professors
~. w. Gaines and ]. L. Faust, of Mem
phis, H. E. Barnett, of Parsons, and
J. H. Davis, C. M. Vernon and John
Watson, of this county. Many classes
sang in competition with each other
and various quartettes WED with each
other to see Who was Who in the
minds Of the audience and the singing
directors above named. 1t was our
pleasure to go out Sunday morning,
in company with Mr.. A. H. Joyner,
Sam Howard Pearson Jesse Roberts
and others. We met many we knew
and have known for scores Of years,
listened TO the music until dinner was
announced and then-you ought to
have seen Homer Joyner and The
Progress man fairly shine in remov-
ing the various and sundry edibles
from the long tables which fairly
groaned under the weight of the
many good things with which they
were spread-good old country ham,
pork a la barbecue, corn and wheaton
bread, chicken, pickles, cakes, pies
and custards galore. 1t was dinner
that the good people of that vicinity,
in which the Deeres and McPeakes are
numerically the stronger, can and will
prepare at any time on any sort of no.
tice-and they actually seem to fair
ly revel in seeing such crowd devour
their hard-earned, well-cooked sub
stantials and dainties.
In the afternoon Mrs. Myrtle JOY
ner and Henry ID. Barry, accompanied
by Mrs. Barry, Jno. S. Fielder, Hen
ny E. Graper, Jr., and Dick Logan
came out in the Fielder car, they hav-
ing been invited to anticipate in the
program. Mrs. Joyner played the or
gan and H. d. Barry sang Jesus Re-
members When the World Forgets"
and "That Wonderful Mother of Mine"
was sung as an encore, both of which
seemed to be enjoyed by the packed
house-and that reminds US of the
fact that ;fthe fame of Rock Hill con-
tinues to spread the good brethren
of that community will have TO go
down in their jeans and dig up the
wherewith to extend the capacity Of
the church structure.
