WHAT DOES SIMONEX
 MEAN TO THE DRIVER !!

The word 'Simonlz, although commonly used, is not clearly de- lined in the minds of many" says J. J. Connors of the Connors' Mo. tor Company. We receive many inquiries wanting to know if S.- moniz is polish or paint: if it is hard to apply; and why We recommended that a new car should always be simonized.
 "Simoniz is a wax polish that should be applied to a new car as well as to an old one, and the wax protects the paint in the same manner that polish protects shoe leather. The film of wax protects the new leather from be coming spotted or dirty and Si. monz protects the paint from dirt and grime and an occasional application will retain the car $ original luster. This Is unlike most polishes that must be applied each time the car is washed as the water merely removes the dirt from the wax finish and a brisk rubbing with dry cloth i'm mediately brings back the luster

Says Hungmia,, CzurdaS Like
 The Charleston


 BERLIN, Sept. 13.-Anybody who can dance the Hungarian ezardas should automatically be able to dance the American Charleston, in the opinion of Ellen Richter, Hungarian movie star.
 The movements of the legs, the skipping together of the knees, and all the other distor- tions which, if executed grace fully. are decidedly beautiful, are , about the same in both the czardas and the Charleston, Miss Richter observes. "Of course, there are rhythmical differences. Then, too, the czardas, even in it's simplest form, is figure dance, which the Charleston is not"

MEN OF STEEL" AT
 PALACE rHuRspAY

Against a background of stnel mills with molten metal serving as the moving spirit. there ls revealed an impressive picture that carries sound logic in it In reality it is character study--a broad symbol being used which presents the inarticulate, but force. full steel worker going through the crucible of refining process as it concerns his soul
 The picture has a tremendous fascination--and builds compact arrative-which, told in terms of vivid drama, emphasizes the back ground with its giant cranes. fur. naces, flaming ore and mighty shovels. It serves in giving Milton Stills his strongest roie-one even stronger than that he had ill "The Sea Hawk"
 True the story becomes involv- ed, though it Is always easy to follow-so clearly and definitely drawn are the characters and in- cident. It offers life in the raw life which gives much and takes little. It is only when Stills De- comes immaculate that it misses it's realities. His metamorphosis is too complete. Yet he gives a virile, rugged performance.
 The cast: Milton Stills, Doris Kenyon, George Fawcett. Frank Currier, Victor McLaglen, May Allison, John Kolb, Henry West Taylor Graves, Director. George Archainbaud.
