Norma TaImadse in "The Only
Woman" Heads Big Double.
Feature Program That Is Packed
with Thrills

Back to the screen in her first
picture since Secrets" the world
favorite, Norma Talmadge, will be
seen at the Colonial Theatre today
and Thursday in "The Only Wom-
an" In this First National produc-
ton she is supported by Eugene
O'Brien, one of the master lovers of
the screen.
The story of the drama, written by
c. Gardner Sullivan, reverses the
usual theme of sacrifices by parents
for their children and submits the
problem of a girl who sacrifices her
self on the altar of marriage to save
her father from financial ruin and
disgrace. Not only is the picture
packed full of tense situations in
which Miss Talmadge again demon
strates her ability. but some of the
scenes, notably that of a shipwreck,
are thrilling enough to satisfy the
most blase.
AS a companion feature for today,
Johnnie Walker and an all-star cast
appear in 'Life's Greatest Game"
The picture points a splendid moral
to a fine, heart-filling tale, for it
shows in concise fashion the rock
ribbed stability and innate honesty.
the clean sportsmanship and whole
some competition which have made
baseball the national pastime.

Mrs. Bottoms Letter
Ridgely, Md" want to tell you
how much good your Vegetable Com
pound has done my daughter. Be-
fore she started taking your medi-
cine she was in nervous, rundown
condition, so that she could hardly
sleep at night. She always had pain
in her side and sometimes cramps so
that she would have to go to bed.
She is a schoolgirl and was going to
school only half the time because she
was so weak and rundown she could
not stand it to walk there some days.
She was this way for three or four
years. She had been reading your
advertisements in the different news
papers and she noticed that some Of
the girls and women had suffered just
as she had. So she took Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
is a lot better. With the first bottle
everybody could see a big change.
She can go to school every day and
can eat just as much as any one else,
when before she did not have any
appetite. We have told others about
the medicine, and we are perfectly
willing for you to use these facts as
testimonial. We are also willing to
answer letters from other women
concerning the help my daughter has
received from the Vegetable Com
pound" :" = Mrs. JOSEPH BETToN,
