It is not often that motion picture fans are given the opportunity to see the latest and most stylish costumes presented by one of the most attrac- tive artists of the screen in story vi brant with romance and adventure, but that is what Mae Murray's lat est picture, Peacock Alley" is. It will be shown Sunday at the Empress Theater.
 In this Metro release for Tiffany Productions, Inc, presented by Rob- ert z. Leonard, Miss Murray portrays the part of Parisian dancer, who, as the darling of the famous city of pleas ure' is feted and adored for her daring and artistic creations. She falls in love with youthful American, small town boy, and goes back to his home only to find that the people of the little village are scandalized at his French wife. The rude awakening among the bright lights of Broadway gives this story a turn which makes it one of the most dramatic offerings of the screen.

MOVIES

There are several novel and unusual
 situations in White Oak" William S. Hart's new Paramount picture which
 comes to the Empress theater tonight. One of the most thrilling and splendid ly portrayed scenes is the production
 of the famous Circle of Death" An
 entire tribe of Indians in full war regalia attack the biggest and rich est wagon train out of Independence, Mo, in the year, 1852. The train has been betrayed to the Indians by four white traitors who are with the emi- grants. A revengeful old chieftain swoops down in ambush with his en- tire fighting strength. The battle scenes are charged with danger and thrills, as we'll as excitement. This is a marvellous reproduction of his his torical Circle of Death in all it's real ism and the actual action as well as the photography was difficult to get.

II You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop. out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony Of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it ful6lls al.

the entire Ruhr valley, the troops ad-

river almost to Hamm, on the south
TO Unna and Witten and on the south
west to Dusseldorf. They met with no
real opposition anywhere, though they
had to fire on n crowd in Bochum, kill
