FILLING STATION

Ralph Steffes, proprietor Of the
Main Street Service Station, re-
Gently completed the installation
of the most modern, equipment OBJ
tainable for gasoline filling sta
tions. A concrete pit has been
built and equipped with an oil
drain, air pressure alemiteing
system and oil ,sprayer for car
springs. Mr.. Steffes has also in
stalled the most practical and eco
nomical heating system, which it
is possible to secure; namely, an
oil burner attached to the original
furnace, with some alterations.
With this apparatus Mr.. Steffes is
able to burn old crank case oil
drained from cars. To save hand
ling of this oil he has placed a
large tank underground near the
grease pit and the oil drain leads
directly into it. In turn this tank
is connected to the burner and the
oil is fed to it by compressed air.
The entire system works automat-
ically and needs no adjustment af-
ter it is once set, save for the
setting of the thermostat for the
proper heat regulation. The ex-
terror of the station has been
attractively painted with red and
white trimmings, also the pumps
and other fixtures, lending a very
bright and inviting aspect. Lee
Jung has been engaged to handle
the greasing plant.

"A BROADWAY LADY"
 COLISEUM, TONIGHT

"A Broadway Lady Evelyn Brent's most recent, and if the critics are correct her most color full starring vehicle, comes to the Coliseum Theatre for tonight and Wednesday, Directed for F. B. 9. by Wesley Ruggles, and splendid ly enacted by Miss Brent and a well balanced supporting cast this production deals with Broad way theatrical life, and has for it's central character very un- usual little chorus lady, who nightly flashes her sparkling per. sonality across the footlights oi the Big Lanes most popular mu- sical comedy. The picture takes Miss Brent out of the familiar crook roles to which she has SC often and so successfully been as signed, and yet keeps her in 8 dramatic, dynamic part which she plays with distinction. Theodore Won Eltz is excellent in the part of Bob Westbrook, the young SO ciety man, and Ernest Hilliard gives fine performance as Mar tyn Edwards.

1.-THE TEMPTRESS" IS
 COMING TO PALACE

Great dramatic punches rest on
 psychology rather than gigantic
 settings or vast crowds; on the
 elements of suspense and terms of human emotions rather than lon visual greatness of mass. In Hother words, drama is that which grips the mind rather than that which dazzles the eye.
 ! This is the view of Fred Niblo,
 famous director of Ben Hur."
 who recently completed directing !the Cosmopolitan production "Taa
 Temptress," at the Palace Thurs
 day, and who states that it is a
 great play not because of it's ,Ispectacle but because of it's in-
 trinsic human values.
 I Spectacle appeals to the eye
 and dazzles.' he says, but great
 drama appeals to the mind-and
 staggers one"
 E This is why, he states. Vincente Blasco Ibanez' novel "The Tempt. lress" in which Greta Garbo, An !tonio Moreno. and a huge cast appear, is one of the biggest stories he has ever directed. { A noted cast appear with tho 1.-two principals in the story, vi Ivid drama of South America and Niblo's first production at ths Metros c Goldwyn-Mayer studios since I"Ben-Hur.v Lionel Barrymore | Marc McDermott, Roy Darcy lArmand Kaliz, Virginia Brown lFaire, Hector V.

next Thursday one of the most sparkling comedies of the season The scintillating action of the story, which is laid in Paris, cen. tefs around two main characters brilliantly played by Adolpae Menjou and Florence Vidor.
 Miss Vidor, the Grand Duchess is forced by circumstance to flee from her native land and take rooms in prominent Paris hotel. While attending the theatre one evening, she is seen by Adolphe Menjou, millionaire philander- CT, who falls desperately in love with her.
 Unable to gain an introduction he takes quarters in the suite of rooms directly below hers at the hotel, hoping to attract her at. tention. Failing in this, he final ly bribes an old servant to let him act as a floor-waiter in her suite.
 In his new role. Menjou, thor oughly disguised in a regulation walters uniform, enters the royal suite with tea-cart. However in so close proximity to the woman he adores, his presence of mind falls to zero, and he ends up by spilling a pitcher of cream down Miss Vidor's neck. Miss Vidor's rage and angei prompt her to decide on a unique form of punishment. Thus starts the story.
