Griffith’s American triumph, “The Birth of a Nation,' paved the way for super-screen productions and proving that they eould be made successful they have been followed by several oth ers. The usual method of exploit ing these was to pick out some ob solete review and herald the new born effort as greater than the Griffith success. With its historical scenes, its ro mantic love interest between the children of Southern and Northern parents, its rich atmosphere of the ante-bellum days below the Mason and Dixon line, stirring scenes of rehabillitation culminating in the rising up of a downtrodden people t 0 throw off intolerable yokes which threaten their lives and property made realistically impres sive by the battles of the Civil War it touches so many points of inter est that it taps the very heart core of the crucial welding’ of the< great est nation into a mighty union. The appeal of “The Birth of a Nation” will ever remain fresh in American hearts. It comes ’back for a farwell tour after an absence of several years to appeal to a new clientele and will be presented in the same magnificent manner which established it in prime favor when first brought out. There will be two performances daily, at 3 and 8:15. NORMA TALMADGE HAS GREATEST ROLE IN “THE SONG OF LOVE” Ankles slim, feet that twinkle, form of lithe and sinuous grace, flashing eyes, smile alluring, lips inviting, yet denying setting every heart aflame—such is the descrip tion of adorable Norma Talmadge in her latest picture hit, “The Song of Love,” playing at the Rylander Theater today and Friday. It Is be ing shown on a program with Aesop Fables. The story concerns the fiery, im passioned love of a Mohammedan dancing girl, daughter of a Sheik and peerless beauty of the deserr, for a French legionaire. which leads her to spurn the chieftain of the tribe, renounces her faith and risk her life to save her lover and the foreign troops from massacre at the hands of the fierce Tuareg lords. As an Arabian dancer, Miss Tal madge is declared to have a particu larly alluring role and one that is quite departue from her recent por trayals of silk clad dames of other periods. She gives to the part a tempestuous characterization and appeal that stamp her as the most versatile of film heroines.

A report er called on Mr. Ansley to find the reasons for this change. “To begin with we are very anxious to bring our ready-to wear to the ground floor, mak ing it more accessible to all buy ers as there are a great many ladies who object to climbing a flight of stairs to shop,' said Mr. Ansley. “Then by having it right down on the first floor ev erything is where they can see ! it on display daily as they cas ually drop in either to buy or to look and we think we can more than double the volume of busi ness. “In the sceond place while the clothing business is a nice line, it is well known that it is over done in Americus. Th e turn over is 510 w... The investment large. The selling cost high. In periods ' of depression men always curtail their purchases, giving to their wives, daughters, sisters and mothers funds for purchases—if there are any to be had. “In the third place we are anxious to have everything right down on the first floor under my personal supervision. I want to give the people of Americus the nicest dry goods and ladies’ ready-to-wear store we have WTE are lavish on Studebaker cars. For some features we pay three and four times what they need cost. Here are some of those costs which affect you. Tell us—would you want any one reduced? Our prices on high-grade Sixes run from $1025 to $2685. They stand at bottom in the fine-car field, despite these extra costs. All because the de mand requires 150,000 cars per year. But they could be lower if we cut these costs. Would you have us do it ? Engineering—ssoo,ooo Our engineering departments cost us $500,000 yearly. Our Department of Re search and Experiment employs 125 skilled men. It spends vast sums in analyses and tests. Our Bureau of Meth ods and Standards fixes every formula, every re quirement. It makes 500,000 tests per year to maintain our high stand ards. We make 30,000 in spections on every Stude baker car during manu facture before it goes out of the factory. We em ploy 1,200 men to do that, j Those are heavy costs. But remember how they are divided —by 150.000 cars per year. They form but a trifle per car. sso,ooo,OOOinplants We have invested SSO,- 000,000 in modern plants and equip ment. $8,000,000 in drop forge plants. $10,000,000 in body plants —as the only way to do Studebaker coach work. t* These plants are equipped with 12,500 up-to-date machines, many of them very expensive. But consider the alternative. Profits to other makers.

There is ‘demand for nice dry goods and thes e kindred or allied departments. “Women buy all the time—if not ready to wear, then it is piece goods for themselves and families as well as the household. This is the day of specializing and in making this change we will be enabled to Ho fully as much volume in business and at the same time do it much more satisfactorily and reduce the overhead expense. “We expect t? clear out this clothing and men’s furbishing stocks now just as rapidly as we possibly cAn.for we are anx ious to got the changes made as quickly as we can.

We could save that extra on “commercial runs.” We are one of the very few build ers, either in Europe or America, using crankshafts machined on all surfaces. It costs us $600,000 a year to give you this. But it results in that smoothness of operation, that lack of vibration which characterizes only the most expensive cars. Every Studebaker car is Timken equipped. The Special-Six and the Big-Six have more Timken bearings than any car selling under $5,600 in America. The Light-Six more than any competitive car within $1,500 of its price. Don’t Buy a Fine Car until vou see the leaders Studebakers hold the top place in the fine-car field today. Last year, 145,167 people chose them against all rivals. They paid $201,000,000 for them. For 72 years the Studebaker name has stood for the utmost in quality. It will never stand for less. Today there are assets of $90,000,000 staked on the Studebaker cars. Don’t pay SI,OOO or more for a car with out knowing what Studebaker offers. You will find here some scores of advantages. Learn what they mean to you. Other costly extras Our bodies are finished with 18 operations, including 15 coats of paint and varnish. We use real leather upholstery. We could cut the price of our open models $25.00 were we willing to use imitation instead of genuine leather. We upholster our closed models in the finest Chase Mohair. Cotton or ordinary wool, or a combination of both, would enable us to reduce our price from SIOO to $l5O per car. But we would thus’ sacrifice Studebaker quality and reputation.

Doctors have found bv experience that no medicine for colds, coughs, sore throat and influenza can be de pended upon for full effectiveness until the liver is made thoroughly active. That is why the first step in the treatment is the nausealess calomel tablets called Calotabs, which are free from the sickening and weakening effects of the old style calomel. Doctors also point out the fact that an active liver may go a long way towards preventing influenza and colds and is one of the most important factors in en abling the patient to successfully withstand an attack and ward off uneumonia. One or two Calotabs at bed time, with a swallow of water —that’s all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight est interference with your eating, pleasure or work. Next morning your cold has vanished, your liver is active, your system is purified, and you are feeling fine, with a hearty appetite for breakfast. Gen uine Calotabs ar e sold only in orig inal sealed packages, price thirty five cents for the large, family, package; ten cents for the small, vest-pocket, size.

The nickel-plated bumpers, the extra disc wheels and cord tires, the steel trunk, the cour tesy light, motometer, etc. Extras to our men We pay the highest labor scale. Then we add extras to it. Men who are with us five years or over get 10% of their year’s wages in an anniversary check. Those an niversary checks last year cost us $1,300,000. After two years all employes get a week of vacation with pay. That cost us last year $225,000. * Old employes who re tire get pensions. All this to keep men with us while they grow more and more efficient. To make them happy, so they do their best. i This is all paid by peo ple who buy Studebaker cars. But we figure that each such dollar saves us five dollars. Don’t you agree with us? The utmost in car value \ ‘ The object is to give you the utmost in car value. You will find we do that if you make com parisons. In any Stude baker model, you will find scores of ways in which it excels any rival car. That is why, in the fine-car fieJd, the Studebaker leads. The demand has almost trebled in the past three years. These cars have become the sensation of Motordom. On some of these models we have never yet been able to meet the demand. i We spend money lavishly. We build without regard to cost. But, in our quantity production, we still bring costs to bottom. | You should learn what these things mean to you before you buy a car. ,
