Exc AGAIN Is PROOF Cndt CneTe is no
other tire like the B1owout-Proof
- Tire :. 1t challenges every compari-
son-for easy riding as well as safety.
Just look at the comparative air pressures
In the chart ;. Note the astonishing low
pressures which the new General DUAL
Balloon permits
Standardized tire construction today
demands more or less high pressure-but so
unique, so different is the patented construc-
ton of the Blowout-Proof Tire, it lets you
enjoy tremendously reduced air pressures=
with absolute safety from blowout.
The result Is the smoothest most luxurious
riding ease ever achieved in any tire.
But that Is not all. Added to this superla-
tive comfort you will have soft, skid-safe
traction far beyond anything ever imagined
in motoring.
Naturally, the remarkable success of the
Blowout-Proof Tire has made it target for
wide imitation. But here is an easy way to
distinguish the genuine Blowout-Proof Tire
from any substitutes offered by the industry.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-09-11

Compare the recommended pressure for all
other tires with the remarkable low pressure
made possible by the Blowout-Pro Tire
After all. this low pressure is the real acid
test of safe tire construction. Every motor
list at some time for6ets to watch air pressure
That's when the only tire that is safe from
blowout Is the one that is built to stand the
abuse of neglected pressure.
The DuaI-Balloon is "fool-p proof" 1t can
run as low as half pressure for days at a
time without the disastrous flex- breaks
from internal friction which cause blowouts
in other tires.
In all the industry 1t Is the only tire that
offers these advantages of low-pre ssure
comfort and hieh-speed safety.
SPECIAL. this week
We will gladly equip your for weeks free trial
with obligation to buy Just put the tires and
them-note how shock-proof and skid-safe-tires you
trust with life regardless of road weather.
Tire prices have been so low and you have any
thought of equippine within the next two years, now
Is the time. In addition special trade-in offer will
further reduce the COST and We'll gladly finance your
tires on any terms to suit you.

Stone a Potent Lover
In THE Office Wife,"

FAITH BALDWIN'S prize maya
zine story, THE ONCE Wife" Is
at the Earle this week in celluloid
form. It doesn't seem by any means
as good as its pulp predecessor. but
it has moments of being amusing
and should interest young ladies who
aspire to being secretaries of great
men.
Lewis Stone can always make a
Aim seem better than it is. And,
incidentally. he is by way of becom-
ing the screens most potent lover.
In this story when ne tells his first
stenographer that he is going to be
married she faints. and when he
tells his second that he is going to
be divorced she fsints All of which
goes to prove that Mr.. Stone is
dangerous man in an Office. even
when his power over the other sex
is confined to debating letters.
If he best part of THE Office
Wife" is Lewis Stone, the next best
is Dorothy Mackaill, acting not too
intelligently, but scenically effective
from any angle the camera chooses
to depict. Miss Mackaill conducts
herself histrionically as though she
were suffering from tonsils or
golter, but artistically she gets-as
they slavery much across. AS a
matter of fact, young man named
Brooks Benedict. who takes the part
of her newspaper boy friend, does
about the best acting in the film
apart from Mr.. Stone. His method
of conducting himself as Miss
Mackaill's f1ance is distinctly earthly
and Hollywood like.
The story of this film you know
before you get there: the moral of
1t being that a man has a better
time at his Office than he does at
home, if his secretary be comely and
clever. Although the idea is slightly
demoralizing, 1t seems especially
sensible in the case of two such
people as the team of Stone Mackaill.
All of which Is not to forget that
Nathalie Moorehead. playing Stones
wife with rare technique, has one
of the most perfectly shaped heads
in the movies.

personification of the lady OF thun.
derous emotions, in Romance"
Whatever one may say about the
tide having gone out on Romance"
as a story, 1t is still sufficiently lus-
trous to endow Miss Carlo with the
possibilities Of moistening her audi
ences' ewes. To be able to do such
a thing with a somewhat thread
bare yarn for a background Is no
mean thing. This unfathomable
lady accomplishes everything-and
more-that one hopes she may ac-
complish. She has become, indeed.
the most satisfying idol of the
screen. and what is supposed to be
poor srt in the films-the prolong-
ing of a closeup - Is never mis-
taken in her case.
Miss Carlo comes partly by her
charm by never looking the same
way twice. One may count on
new expression at every twist of the
camera. Furthermore, she is singu-
larly free from the hectic habits of
the new school of acting. Her ges-
lures merge in calmly with the
meaning of her words And what
perhaps clinches the fact that she

eyes. which have probably done
more than their duty in upsetting
susceptible mankind.
AS ell should know by now. Miss
Carlo in this film is world-famous
opera singer. who falls in love with
a young clergyman on a visit to
New York, back in the gay nineties,
when falling in love seems to have
been more emotional game. The
clergyman finds himself torn be-
tween love and duty, and in the
end - the nitwit - takes himself to
pious duty. That the film is sad
goes without saying. That Lewis
Stone is excellent also is absolutely
true. And that the Swedish Diva
is perfect is now history.
