TODAY AND TOMORROW
Six tacts which make “The
9b eat" the greatest .picture In
which Pola Negri, lias oyer appear
ed. Now playing at the Palace the
atre:
There are many reasons why
"Tho Chest” is the grestcut and
best picture la which Pola Merit.
International screen star, now ap-
ix-arlng In American made Para
mount Picture*, has erer’appeared,
six of tho most potent reasons arc
given herewith:
• 1.—Greatest Dramatic Story.
“ll o cheat” Is tho greatest dra
matic story ever written for tho
screen. So tremeadpualy pontile
has It proven that two novel;, a
stage play, and an open ’ havo
teen written from Its gripping plot.
: 2.—(Role is Sympathetic. "The
cheat" present Mils Negri as a
modern bewitching woman of fash-
Km and passion, and most of the
action takes place In a Long Island
society rosort. Her role La a sym-
pitbetlc one throughout tho story
Sbo Is fooli.Tr, but not h.H. Yon
will lovo her and pull for her In
every scene.
3.—Star Adequately Supported.
"The Cheat” waa produced in
AmericI by an American director
with the popular American star,
Jack Holt, featured In support of
Miss Negri and the sensational
French player, Charles de Roche,
heading the supporting css ott all-
American actors and actresses.
4. —Scenes are Gripping. "The
Cheat" gives to the screen the
two most gripping dramatic scenes
In the hlgstory o fmotion pictures:.
The branding scene and the court
room confession Scene. These will
positively" bring every man, wo
man and child In tho audience
right to the edge, of their teats]
5. —Gowns Rich; Settings Beau
tiful. "The Cheat" gives Mlsa
Negri the opportunity to wear the
greatest array of daxxllng Paris
gowns that ever delighted tae eyes
of tho ladles In. youv audiences.
And line setting; of the picture are
equally beautiful, and elaborate.
StccV Has Happy Bndlijg.
“The Cheat.” unlike most ot Pola
Negri's stellar vehicles, has a
happy ending. Love la triumphant
St the tls'ph, as the final radeout
reveals husband-and wife In Jao-
oui ambrace.
"The Cheat” Is the apeclal

"In working out the details of a
properly balanced system of na

the basic agricultural statistics
collected in 1920 arc inadequate,"
Dr. Taylor says. “At that time
American agriculture was still in
a period of readjustment from
war conditions, and the statistics
reflect the transitory effects of
the war rather than to provide
data from which national agricul

"The various branenes of Am

figures that may bo safely used

growth of the. industry as a
