CONSTRUCTION
MUST BE
SOUND
Careless Building Methods and
Material Selection Will
Prove Detrimental
BY THOMAS p. DIXON,
General Manager, Lewis Manufacturing
Company

N~S--~- - 1yss..~--...~
Sound construction means more
in long life; greatest comfort and
actual value Of a home than you
can realize unless you are builder.
The greatest number Of failures
and disappointment in homes Is
directly due to lack of apprecia-
ton Of the importance and value or
right construction In house building.
Too many home builders or buy
ers have assumed that the standard
of construction Of all builders is
the same. It is unfair to yourself
and to home; builders to take for
granted that the construction OF
your home at whatever cost or by
whatever standard will be thorough
and satisfactory.
Squeaky stairs, Sagging floors,
bullying walls, cracked plaster, leaky
roofs, draughty or rafting windows
and doors that don't close are a
few Of the endless annoyanceS that
follow in the train Of faulty or care
less construction.
More serious are the high cost of
heating. short life, quick deprecia-
ton, burdensonle repair costs ana
low resale value that result from
construction shortcuts too generally
practiced today.
Pressed by price competition It is
perhaps to be expected that many
builders will seek savings in mt
terials and labor through these
shortcuts OF cheap construction. 1t
is a fact that many prospective
home purchasers too often only SEQ

OF sturdiness and solidity, under
sized framing material, lack OF
proper trusting, hidden weaknesses.
covered by plaster. and paint, all
too soon make themselves known
to the disappointed and disillusioned
home owner.
Faulty or Inadequate copstruc-
ton is not always due to intent to
slximp. It is frequently due to ig-
norance on the part Of well-in
tentionel contractor Of the true
stresses and strains frame members
will be required to Withstand. But
the disappointment Of the home
owner is not lessened.
Lewis Homes give you full pro-
lection against all the evils of bad
construction.
When you by home, know that
It has been designed throughout by
experienced architects in accord
ance with right construction prac-
tice.

MISS TA[NADGE
IN A CLEVER
PICTURE

"Her Sister From Paris" the lat
est film release of Constance Tai
madge. will be the principal attraction
at the Palace Theater this week. The
story is by Hans Kraley, a European
writer who has been engaged to pre-
pare script for the Talmadge sisters.
He has given intensive study to the
capabilities of, Constance and, if the
reviews of critics are to be relied up
on, has succeeded in taxing her pow
ers to the utmost in this production.
The tale is that of a devoted wife
who sees her husband gradually slip
ping from her grasp because she is I'M
able TO understand his whims. He, a
writer of short stories, is evidently in
terested in the light and frothy things
of life and it is his writing along
these lines that gives his wife her
clue TO happiness. She takes a vaca-
ton and during Ter absence a sister
arrives from Paris on a visit. This
sprightly sister IS royalty entertained
by the pleasure thirsty husband and
the reports have it that there arc
many humorous and entertaining Sc.
ouences take place before the de-
movement when the sister develops TO
be none other than his wife who has
been incorporating for the purpose OF
again capturing his attention and al
lection.
According TO the advance reports
"Her Sister From Paris" contains all
of the ingredients Of successful
movie with stress laid on the partlcu-
lar grade of wholesome humor that
has made Miss Talmadge the screen S
outstanding comedienne. AS the leader
of the Follies Bergere the clever Con
ME is surrounded by a bevy of Holly
wood beauties that are claimed to be
every bit as bewitching as the actual
members Of that famous chorus. The
costuming is commented on as being
elaborate in the extreme and in many
Of the scenes the extremes in fashion
creations are paraded by Miss Tai
madge and her coterie Of beautiful as
Sistants.
Unstinted praise is given the star
for her portrayal Of the dual role ami
Their emarkably clever manner IN
which she gets across the comedy
angles. Ronald Colman will be seen
in the part Of the husband and is said
to add to the laurels he has captured
since his arrival in the land of films
some year or so ago. The supporting
cast is of notable dimensions with the
greatest portion Of favor reyerting to
the beautiful chorus.
A clever two-reel comedy, the usual
Fox News, Pathe Review and the
scenic reel will complete the picture
program.

BLACK CYCLONE

T At. EMPIRE
REX" Untamed King Of
4 Wild Horses, in Good
- Picture.

n The Empire steps forth this week
with q rare novelty novelty such
hs one welcomes with open arms for
It is a sharp relief from motion pic
ture sameness and at the same time
deals a whole fist full Of thrills. The
novelty is BLACK Cyclone" featur-
ing REX" the untamed king of wild
horses. a magnificent black with a
real flare for actirg before the cam
era.
BLACK Cyclone is a drama of the
west more primitive, more thrilling
and more realistic than depicted in
most "western" productions for the
reason that for the most part the ac-
tors are dumb animals. The story
centers in and around REX" the wild
horse, "Lady" his love, and THE Kill
ler," q vicious black and white equine
desperate who probably ranks in the
horse world right along with our own
Wallace Berry or any of our other IA
nous dad men" of the screen. The
story Is filled with things that stir
the heart and quicken the pulses for
utter realism in every foot OF action
dominates every other quality OF the
picture which is rich in action, drama
and the tender emotions.
While the story has a complete cast
of animal actors, the human element
enters into it and running parallel
with the lose story of the equines is a
counter love drama of humans whose
lives become entwined with the story
OF the horses.
The Empire-Pathe News and nov.
city overture by Don Philippini and
the Empire orchestra complete the
new show.
