RUBY PICKFOflD HOW AT DELUXE An Gwendolyn, tha "poor little rich jr!rt' who had all that mooney could buy but scarcely knew her parents, Mary Fickford in "A Poor Little Rich Girl," hr newest Artcraft picture adapted from the well known Kleanor Gates subject, 1b afforded a role of exceptional Fickford qualities. The story tdls of how Gwendolyn, who Is left tntlrely in the care of her nurses and m rvants as a result of the social and business " duties" of her parents, finally brinps about a biff change in the lives of her little family. Throuerh their little daughter, the selfish parents are brought to realize that each i- traveling in the wrong direction and that their real goal is happiness rather than wealth. Judging from all advance reports this new Mary Fickford play is the greatest typically Fickford subject ever staged, replete with Fickford narm and presenting an occasional twang at the heart strings as uel as plenty of quaint soituations. Technically it is also conceded to be an accomplishment in the photoplay art as n r-sult of the the efforts of that it: aster-direct or. Mauri-'.? Tourneur. The picture will appear at DeLuxe theatre today and tomorrow. To Prevent The Grip folds cause Grip Laxative Bromo Quinine removes muse. There is fin'v one "iiromo Quinine " K. W.

There is to be no servi- e tonight, and none on Saturday night. On Tuesday night the evangelist will preach on "Mighty Men." The .services begin at 7:30. Mr. Huntington's strong features and commanding presence Immediately rivet the attention, and when he begins to speak in a clear, strong voice and his face lightens up with a smile the audience at once feels that it is t.i be repaid for coming. And it is, for he evangelist is earnest, eloquent, gi eat-hearted and preaches with power. Fastor Adams sas: "We have a fine start and are to have a great meeting."

TIFFANY RINGS $7.00 up Special Prices to $275.00 SEE OUR WINDOW State St. mmasmM The "Wright Manufacturing company of Kast Chicago, which was recently incorporated under the state laws of Indiana, and whose offices and directors are composed of some of the leading men of the Calumet district have found it necessary in order to meet the demands for their product, the transmotor. to increase the authorized capital from 160,000 to $500,000. The transmotor as is well understood by people who have studied the machinery is a practical device transmitting the power from a stationary automobile to power propelled machinery. The original plan of this company was to begin operations in the state of Indiana alone, and increase from time tn time as the business justified, but from inquiries received and the great amount of interest manifest, it soon became apparent that it would be advisable to include th entire I'ni'ed Stsfos. This necessitated an increase of the capitalization. As soon as the weather permits the company will put out demonstrations of the transmotor in the entire Calumet district. Mr. Wright says. "The dlfficultv is not in disposing of m-idiiiti.-,, but to produce them fast enough." The .-ompany is negotiating for a fully 'quipped plant, whi'-h they hope to secure shortly. If satisfactory arrangements cannot be made, the company cxpeets to begin the erection of a new plant without delay. The information regarding this company means another manu facturjng plant for the Calumet district, mid as the nun connected with lh management --re amongst the. load.ng cifiz.-r.s. the future 'f the company seems assured.
