LOVELY COMEDIENNE
 GIVES GIRLS ADVICE
"Grace was in all her steps, Heaven in her eye, In every gesture, dignity and love"
 Milton.

Just as the glare of the calcium lights would show up the defects of movie actress complexion So sun shine shows up those of the women in ordinary life. Women who attempt to cover up skin defects by putting on heavy coat of powder or rouge only deceive themselves.
 ''The smooth, clear and lovely con- plexion, you so often see and envy in women of the movie world, is not a matter of good fortune or accident '' says Miss Madeline Hurlock, one of the fairest of Mack Sennett's famous beau ties. Tt is the result of giving their delicate skin the proper attention every night by cleaning all the days accumu- lation of powder and dirt out of the pores with a good cleansing cream.
 II think the Black and White Cleansing Cream is the most satisfac- tory have ever used. I never really gave these Beauty Creations any se- rious thought until I saw the quality of the creams and powders. And the low popular prices at which they sell surprised me"

NoRMA'S BIGGEST YET

From the. grandeur of the Court of
Louis X in The Eternal Flame and
the enchantment of the turreted East
in Robert Hichens The Voice From
the Minaret," to the underworld of
New York City may seem long step
for any motion picture star, but the
versatile Norma Talmadge makes il
with her latest drama, Within Ths

plays ever Brought to the screen.
As Mary Turner, the little shop
girl around whom Bayard Vellier
wrote his tremendously successful
stage production. Miss Talmadge is
said to perform the finest emotional
work of her career.
Some OF the strongest scenes are
enacted in the courtroom and in pris-
on when Mary Turner, a shop girl, is
convicted and sentenced for a theft
OF which she is not guilty. Because
of her record and police persecution.
Mary is unable to find respectable
employment on her release, and 1t is
this circumstance that sends her into
band OF blaekmailers and brings
about an extraordinary romance.
Many OF the principal scenes are
shown in the Tombs and at Auburn
Prison. as well as in the New York
underworld proper and in the fash
enable centers OF Florida. This
widely-heralded photodrama, directed
by Frank Lloyd will be shown at the
