New Fred NibIo Special Said to PacL
Big Thrill-"Thy Name Is Woman
Moving Story of Love and Revenoe

With a highly charged story of
passionate love, a background of
great scenic beauty, played by a cast
or stars and made by one of the
lndustry's cleverest directors, "Thy
Name is Woman" the new Metro
picture which comes to the Colonial
theatre today and tomorrow, promis-
es 10 be one of the most thrilling
productions of the year.
1t is the latest film to be turned
out by Fred Niblo, the director who
has such successes to his credit as
The Mark Of Zorro" 1.-THE Three
Musketeers, and recently. "Stran
gers Of the Night" The cast in
Guides such favorites as Ramon No
Varro. barbara La Mari, Edith Rob-

from Karl Schoenherr's stage play,
the American version of which (by
BENJAMIN Glazer) had a. very sue
cessful run on Broadway last sea-
son, with Mary Nash and Jose Ru-
pens In the principal roles.
ADVANCE reports on the production
declare it to be wonderfully effec-
tive in the power and dramatic scone
OF its various love interests. The
story is centered around the beanti-

made important changes and addi-
tions to their equipment and nave
made great improvements In genera
sanitary conditions. A great deal OF
this improvement Is due to the efforts
of the State dairy inspector. Mr.. For
rest Barbour. who has given the To-
cal inspector much of his time and
has always shown the finest spirit OF
cooperation.
During the past year the laws per-
tanning to the tubercuiin test nave
been extended to include. dairy prod
ucts produced outside Of Brunswick,
but sold within the limits OF the
town.
THE quality of the cream sold in
Brunswick has also shown a marked
Improvement This is especially true
in the case Of cream retained by the
stores, the samples of which con-
tanned an average terra count OF
only 61,746 per cubic centimeter.*
ut is apparent that cream sold In
Brunswick should be graded as 1t is
in the larger towns and cities. AT
present the butterfat content varies
from 80 to nearly so per cent. yet the
consumer is obliged to pay as much
for 80 per cent cream as he is Tor the
80 per cent quality. An amendment
to the bylaws governing the sale OF
milk to remedy this condition is de-
sirable."
