SCIENCE has made important discoveries
~ about the usual building materials Ac-
curate laboratory tests prove that wood, brick,
plaster, wall-boards, shingles, roofing materials,
etc., when used alone, offer too little resistance
to the passage of heat and cold. Careful expert
ments in hundreds of homes show that there
is an avoidable heat loss of from $50 to 35B
right through the walls and roofs of homes
built with these materials alone.
Solid construction is not enough. A special
heat-stopping, or insulating material is needed
Now, this protection is available for every
home new or old.
Celotex Insulating Lumber effectively stops
the passage of heat and cold. It shuts out wind
and dampness, quiets noise. The broad Celotex

The reception given by this great
audience was nearly, as marvellous
as the play and the acting The
Swan" is a class play, but its
sympathetic presentation by the

appeal.
From a scenic standpoint, "The
Swan" IS the masterpiece of the

THE BIG OIL AND
GREASE MAN WINS
FAME IN MOVIES
Here Is the Story of How
Jerry MiIey Made Good

BB NEA Scrrice

BD NEA Service
HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 7. - Jerry
Miley, young screen heavy" whose
mild brand of villainy will be seen in
Broken Hearts of Hollywood" fled
from the business world to films in
order to escape the handicap Of be-
ing rich mans son.
Jerry's father, one of the oil kings
of the West, hoped the boy would fol-
low his footsteps. He was greatly
pleased when the son put in two
years Of hard mental labor in the
fields But just as Jerry was begin
ming to know his oil, he also learned
that many of his associates regarded
his every advance as favoritism.
Being "his fathers son" sort OF
got on his nerves. And, in addition,
he concluded there wasn't enough
romance in providing lubricant and
motive power for the worlds machin-
cry.
Movies Call
Young Miley is of that kind which
Graves an audience, the kind whose
hind a mere name, in the stohd and
solid affairs of business. To such
the movie world calls with a loud
trumpet.
Jerry found his niche in Holly
wood by roundabout way. After his
years in the oil fields, he undertook
preparations for the diplomatic serv-
ice, studying in Paris. But that, he
explains, seemed to lead merely to
some exalted clerkship. AS a diver
sion he began to dance. Ballroom
and stage dancing opened a direct
door to the screen, as it has for
many now famous young men.
1.-The Dancer" was his first picture,
with Alma Rubens. Then ecame
''Wild Oats Lane" and now Broken
Hearts Of Hollywood"
More Than Diversion
The handicap before mentioned
still dogs him, however. Rich mems
sons are not taken too seriously in
Hollywood, unless talent is so ex-
traordinary as to demand instant at
tention, Casting directors are in
clined to feel that such aspirants are
in movies merely as a diversion. 9th
er things being equal, the poor mans.
son probably has a better chance to
get on in the studios than the scion
of wealth and prominent family.
Which fact merely sharpens the
resolution of the socially popular,
stalwart and admirable young actor
as he pilots his expensive white auto
and his earnest ambition about Hol-
lywood on the next tack in his elect
ed career.

THE BRIDAL SUITE" TO
BE BERKELL OFFERING

The Berkell Players at English's
announce another comedy for their
attraction this week, entitled THE
Bridal Suite"
Following close upon the heels of
more serious drama, it fits in the
summers repertory with an ease
ment that is enjoyable.
The play is from the pen Of James
81 p. Judge, an actor of splendid repute
and one who is well acquainted with
what an audience desires in the mat
ter Of entertainment.
1.-The Bridal Suite" as It's name i'm
plies, has to do with the matrimonial
difficulties Of young couple. In
this instance, however, the difficulties
appear before the wedding rather
than after, as is the case with most
honeymooners
The story of the play is centered
around one Harry Young, his fiancee
and their desire to marry. To all ap.
.pearances this seems an easy accom-
plishment, but unforeseen obstacles
.sarise which lead the couple into
Aany embarrassing situations. They
wake all preparations, even to the
engaging Of hotel accommodations,
and have invited their many friends
to witness the marriage ceremony.
Some one gives the prospective
bridegroom q tip that his friends
have planned to razz him after the
ceremony is over and to elude his
scheming friends, he and his fiancee
plan to elope.
But his eloper1ent is beset with
about as many difficulties as he had
anticipated with a quiet wedding,
and while the friends are waiting to
put it over on them, they are trying
to extricate themselves from situa-
tons into which the hand Of fate
has plunged them.
Starting Sunday night, the Berkell
Players will give ten performances Of
this comedy.
