"The Way OF ALI Men"

"The Way of All Men" which
comes to the National Theathre
next Monday, for one week en-
gagement is a most daring docu-
ment of humanity, in which is
painted battle of life in strokes
shorn of shame.
1t deals with a boy who stole
first kiss, then was drawn into
the maelstrom of life; cafe
owner and political boss who uses
his power for selfish gain; with
a Wall Street money grabber who
forgot about everything else in
his fight for wealth; it deals with
a preacher who lost his own soul
trying to save others; and a fifth
character, human derelict,
homeless, harmless, always ready
to give his last dime for a drink.
Five colorful, powerful charac-
tiers. In 1.-THE Way of All Men"
you will see their stories woven
into the strongest drama that has
ever been presented on the
screen.
It is story that challenges
all humanity. A story that will
open the eyes Of every man and
woman who sees it. And story
that will give the younger gen
GRAFTON as great a lesson as life
itself. All because it is human
drama in it's strongest form
and one of the strangest stories
ever told. A story of what happens
when fear turns hate into under
standing-when passionate emo
tions turn to love.
When these five entirely differ
emit types of people-representa-
tive of the mass of humanity
come in contact with girls great
faith in the one who loves-there
is bound to be drama of the inter-
esting kind. When they are all
confronted with inevitable death
in the great Mississippi flood, we
find what these characters are
really made of. To attempt to
guess the outcome is to find you
are all wrong when you see this
powerful story. And for us to d.
vulge the outcome would deprive
you of the greatest thrill in all
your picture-going experience.
The climax is so surprising
that we suggest you keep the
story secret after seeing it. Let
the others be stirred by this emo
tional document the same as you
will be.
"The way of all Men" is easily
the outstanding drama of the mo-
vie season and has one of the
greatest casts ever assembled IN
one picture.

TOday's True
Story

The BennettS-Tom and Edna
received a telegram cancelling
their next weeks vaudeville
booking just before they closed
their st. Louis engagement.
Don't worry, kid" said Tom,
after showing Edna the wire.
We'll get something"
But they didn't. For three
weeks they were "at liberty"
which. in plain words, meant
they were out Of a job. At the
beginning Of the second week
they moved from their second
class hotel to a third-claSs one
and then they moved to a
boarding house.
Don't worry, kid" Tom re-
peated, when the third week
brought nothing. Times are
tough, that's all, but they'll get
better. I've got some wires out
now and something viii turn
up"
Then. without telling Edna
Tom went out and pswned his
watch. He had to: he was
down to his last dollar. Three
days later he noticed there was
EoHne.odd about Edna's hands.
At first he couldn't decide what
1t was and then:
where's your ring?" he
asked.
"The same place your watch
is" she answered. Thought 7
didn't know you'd hooked it,
didn't you?"
They laughed, the first time
that either had laughed in
days.
''You shouldn't have done
that" said Tom. Remember
when I gave you that ring?
We've been through a lot to-
gether since then, but I can
still take care Of YOU"
Their luck changed the next
day. They got two weeks in
Chicago and the money from
Edna's ring paid the railroad
fare. What was left was vitality

castor oil thinned with an
equal amount Of alcohol. Part

Every hair that the brush re-
moves is already dead.
When washing powder pads,
don't wiring them. Shake so
that the fuzzy surface fluffs

to drain. Chamois skin covers
of nail polishers can be washed.
Wash cloths should be changed

and hair brushes washed with
laundry powder and q hand
brush before, each shampoo.
Too much tummy calls for
bending exercises. Send the
body forward, keeping the legs
