Interesting facts about La Touraine Extra) Coffee

1t is the largest-selling coffee in
New England, the birthplace of
fine cofees in America. In this
home of exacting coffee critics,
it is considered the supreme
result of 237 years of coffee de-
velopmenI
1t is the coffee served in many
dining places famous for their
coffees. In all Statlcr Hotels,
for instance. In the magnificent
Shorthand of Chicago. In
countless country homes which
study fine hospitality.
The blend combines the four
finest cofees that grow. Each
comes from a different country,
each is the pride of nation.
Each derives its excellent favor
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1927-01-27

from one Of the rarest soils of
the earth.
Three of the cofees combined
in this blend cost 5o% more
than ordinary coffee, and 25%
more than Sac Paulo, the prize
coffee of Brazil. One is so rare
that only $4,000 bags are grown
yearly.
The formula for this blend is a
secret, carefully preserved. COT
fee experts spent twenty years in
perfecting it. No other blend
has been made to resemble it.
Those who find here their ideal
favor can find it nowhere else.
Mr.. E. J. Butler, the noted coffee
expert, personally tests, tastes

The quaint customs and costumes
Of the 90s-the surge of patriotism
that swept over America in behalf
Of the oppressed Cubans, the as
sembling of the most romantic body
of cavalry cavaliers in history and

gagement.
Miss Ralston Is supported by
Richard Arlen, who enacts the role
of the sales-manager hero, while
Ford Sterling, instigator Of more
laughs than most comedians, has
the role of the busy business man.
Miss Ralston, according to adj
vance reports, is Sterling's secretary.
Despite her earnest attempts, she
has a difficult time conducting
Sterling's affairs without arousing
the ire of his jealous wife, a part
taken by Blanche Payson.
Sterling's predicaments are said
to be highly amusing. However,
Richard Arlen, the ambitious young
salesman, appears on the scene,
falls in love with Miss Ralston, and,
of course, everything ends to the
satisfaction of all.
Entertainment is the primary OBJ
ject of the picture. 1t is under

The picture, which was directed
by Edward Sutherland, was made
at the Paramount studios in Holly
wood. The picnic and beach scenes
were taken at a southern California
beach, where a large number of
business folk and picnickers were
pressed into service to give the
scenes a realistic atmosphere" It
might be said that director Suther-
land took advantage of the oppor-
tunities afforded by the beach
scenes to steal a little of Ziegfeld's
stuff" and "glorify" the American
girl. In fact, rumors have been
heard that some of the bathing
beach scenes prompted the title
of Figures Don't Lie"

Thus imbued with a desire to live

"a GENTLEMAN FROM
PARIS" TO BE AT APOLLO

Adolph Menjou's suave and So
phisticated personality is fitted with
a perfect vehicle in his latest pic
ture, "a Gentleman From Paris, .
which will be featured at the Apollo

It is frothy comedy of Gay
Paree, adapted from Roy Horni-
mans "Bellamy the Magnificent"
That it is not lacking in proper at
mospIfere may be inferred from the
fact that it was directed by a
Frenchman, Henry D'Abbadie OAR
rast, whose first picture was "Serv-
ice for Ladies'" one of Menjou's
most pronounced hits.
In "a Gentleman From Paris, y

If you study her Candida" you

easy for Miss Marsolais to Smother

Funny little old hats and long skirts
and a funny little cape make it a
simple task to change the appear
ance Of an actress.
But in the case Of Maria" in
"The Contrast" the task is far from
easy because it is the face and the
hair dressing that really makes
Maria.
Blanca" rather reminds one OF
Juliet and in the development o.
this character it is the spiritual pose
of the head and the "look" of the
eye that makes this character.
So you see it is a mighty difficulty
task at times to dress and create {
character.
I have seen Miss Marsolais visit
ing shop after shop and spending
hours in <an effort to get just the
right dress.
Next week she will be seen as thu

Still more clothes and fancy one

on and on for this lovely and graci
