UNIFORM FLAVOR
 IN COFFEE DEPENDS UPON THE ROASTING
Hills Bros. Insure Uniformity by Their Patented, Con-
 tinuous Process

Coffee experts agree that blend alone, regardless of quality, will not produce a perfect cup of coffee. In the roasting of the blend lies the secret of perfect flavor.
 The common method of roasting coffee in bulk falls short in develop ing flavor, because it is not possible to roast every berry evenly. Real izing this, Hills Bros, after years of experimenting discovered and patented continuous process of roasting coffee little at a time.
 Control is the watchword of this process. The quantity of coffee passing into the roaster does not vary. The speed of operation and temperature remain the same with the result that Hills Bros. Coffee is absolutely uniform. This process, fittingly called Controlled Roast ing" gives a flavor in the cup that no other coffee has.
 Hills Bros. Coffee never "goes stale" because it is packed in vacuum cans. Ordinary cans, even if air-tight, do not keep coffee fresh because air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is inside. By the vacuum process, air is taken out of the can and kept out. Hills Bros. Coffee is sold everywhere by gro- cers. Ask for it by name and look for the Arab-the trade-mark-on the can.

QUILLAN COMES TO COLISEUM IN
 NIGHT WORK"
Comedy to Be Presented Tonight Has Support
 ing Cast of 27

Roasting a large supporting cast in importance and number, Eddie Quillan will be seen on the screen at the Coliseum Theatre tonight in 'Nnght Work" Twenty-seven players appear with this young star in his production.
 Directed by Russell Mack from an original story by Walter De- Leon, Night Work presents Quill Ian in one of those sympathetic comic characters so well suited to his personality As an assistant window dresser in a department store Eddie holds a unique side line job of a fired man." He is fired on all occasions when a dis gruntled customer demands that someone be fired for one reason and another. AS if this were not enough to make things miserable he inadvertently annexes a four year-old ward at an expense of $10 week and from then on things go from bad to worse.
 But, luck and a beautiful young nurse, played by Sally Starr, help to straighten out the situation with hilarious results. Frances Up- ton contributes many laughs as Eddie's co-conspirator.
 Others in the cast of 27 are John T. Murray, George Duryea, Ben Bard, Robert McWade, Doug las Scott, Addie McFhail, Ruth Hiatt, Kit Guard, Georgia Caine, George Billings, Charles Clary, Tom Dugan, Arthur Hoyt, Billie Bennett, Tempe Pigott, Ruth Lyons, Nora Lane, Arthur Love joy, Marjorie Babe" Kane, Jack Mack, Marian Ballou, James Don- lin, Martha Mattax and Harry Bowen.

K 0 NEY M DON HAL TED TO GET
 GOOD SUN TAN
Joan Crawford at Capitol in "Untamed' Has to
 Be Jungle Girl

Halting a honeymoon n order to get an extra good tan is some thing new in experiences, but Joan Crawford did it. While lark ing in New York after her wed- ding to Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Joan received a wire from the Metro Goldwyn Mayer studios, Better come home or your tan will bleach out.!'
 And forthwith Miss Crawford packed bags and husband. For her impersonation in "Untamed" which is being shown at the Capi- tol theatre calls upon her to be very, very brown, the kind of a tan a girl would get who followed her father through tropic wild erneSs.
 AS New York theatres and shops weren't helping that tan, Joan hot-footed it back to the white sands of the Pacific, and the sun of California in mid-July.
 In "Untamed' Miss Crawford's s singing voice is heard to advant- age in two selections. The first of these is "The Jungle Song" " composed by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed. The second number, That Wonderful Some thing Called Love- was writted by Joe Goodwin and Lou Alter

Bushman thinks that most useful being sadly ma hgned and declares that if he brings happiness and glamor to some elderly, perhaps plain woman, well, he's regular boy-scout when it comes to good deeds. But he scorns such motive as far as his own-self is concerned. For he feels that he has much, very much to offer the right woman, provid- ed that she can support him in the style to which he used to be &C., customed.
