Pretty % Percy
WIZ

Percy Marmont. famous English star OF the screen.
recently has been furnished with a made-to-order
plot for an old-fashioned "meller-drammer" of the
movies-and 1t won't cost him a farthing for the
rights either.
A woman, Mrs. Hilda Scholes. OF London. claims
that Percy Is her longloSt husband, missing since
1908. and she even went to the courts with a demand
for her share Of a nifty little fortune which Percy has
accumulated during several years Of work in Amer
ica's screen capital. She claimed she was married to
the actor in Liverpool in 1900. at which time he was
using the name Of Garland Scholes. and that he left
her a few years later, failing to pay alimony as d.
rected by the court.
The claim was dismissed when Marmonts birth
certificate was presented, showing that he was but
is years old at the time Mrs. Scholes claimed che
stood with him at the altar and promised to love,
honor and obey.
But what more delightful as a screen thriller than
this so-tale revolving around the life Of Marmont?
He would be fine in the role Of injured party of the
first part-and, Of course. there would be the real
wife. young and pretty. contesting Mrs. Scholes' abb
surd demands-using all her wiles upon the court
and Jury, and about to lose her Percy-and the birth
certificate bobbing up ut the exact psychological mo-
ment.
We hope that Marmont will not lose this oppor-
tunity to cash in on a real hum-dinger. And yet,
we don't see why the Englishwoman. Mrs. Scholes.
could have made such a blunder. For Percy is GER
tainly no ones pretty boy, after all.

The San Antonio city commission Monday adopted
an ordinance authorizing q levy Of 5 cents per 500
assessed valuation to be used for advertising that city
The levy viii produce q fund Of $4,000 for expendi-
ture during the year.
San Antonio last year levied a tax Of 3 cents and
raised a fund of s65.000 which was used in q national
advertising campaign. Experience Of the first year
proved the results obtained worth the cost and SO the
sum to be spent In the next IL months was increased.
A recognized advertising agency has been employed
to map out the campaign, place the advertising rnd
handle details Of spending the fund. This method has
proved the most satisfactory method for handling ad-
vertising Of cities. counties or states.
San Antonio rapidly Is becoming known through
out the United States as n winter health and recrea-
ton center. That reputation has been gained through
advertising. Last year was the most successful teason
in the history Of the city. 1t being estimated that
tourists spent approximately SIS, 900 900 in that city.
Advertising is the answer.
There are two things In the San Antonio ndver-
Using plan which should commend themselves to the
Valley. The money Is to be raised through taxation.
A reliable agency will spend the money.
