Why the Franklin?
Because it has a direct air
cooled motor? No! Because it has
a wooden frame? No! Because it carries great
big oversize tires? No! Because it has full el
liptic springs all around? No! Because it only
weighs 2,675 pounds for a full sized 5-passenger
car? No! Because it has less unsprung weight
than any other car of its size? No!
Then Why the Franklin?
Because it gives you the results you are look
ing for in a motor car. All the year around, over
any kind of roads, in all kinds of weather, and
because you can afford its operating expense.
Because it's the Ford among high-class cars
Let us give you a demonstration in this scien
t'fically built, light weight, direct air cooled car.

growing hlghbrowinm. there Is nothing
. better than an evening with Thurston.
He Is not only a deft performer whoso
1 artistic manipulation Is perfect, but he
i Is also an entertainer with gifts as a '
I llsht comedian. Its loves everything he !
does: be loves his profession and loves
! to work at It; he finds recreation In turn
; lug from one Interest to another. He Is
never Idle, and the smallest undertaking
Is given the most minute attention. When
, on. considers that Thurston is still In his
I thirties, his accompl'shmenls seem all the
more wonderful. Mr. Thurston will
present to every women attending the

"A Talr of Sixes,'- comes to the Boyd
thester for three nights, beginning Jan
.usry 1. It Is by Kdward Peple, the
author of "The Uttlest Ilebel" and "Tho
lrlnce Chap," and la In three acts.
The plot deals with the affairs of
George B. Nettleton and T. Boggs John,
partners In a pill manufacturing busi
ness, who are constantly at loggerheads,
each longing to be rid of the other, but
, neither willing to sell out. Their lawyer
suggests a hand of poker to he piayea.
with the penally that the loser shall
quit the business for a year and In the
Interval serve as a servant In the house
hold of the winner. John loses and Net
tleton and the lawyer both feel he will
break the contract rather than stick
It out for a year. But he grits his teeth
and bravely enters upon his duties as
butler In the Nettleton household. He
Is found here performing his menial duties
by his sweetheart, who arrives as the
guest of the Nettletons. He cannot ex
plain his position to her. and there Is
more trouble for him through the at
tentions of an eccentric English house
maid, who, pursues him lor a husband.
This comical complication Is developed
through the rapid series of hilarious sit
uations and the fun rattles along until
the unfortunate John's sweetheart take
a hand In the gam. and rescues him
from the clutchea of his partner. The
latter, too, Is glad to end the agreement,
for he has mistaken the sympathy of his
wife for the loser and believes that she
Is In love with him. and his asslnlnlty
creates an uproarious entanglement of
his own.

tures, does an assortment of clever Im
personations, two of which are Uriah

The Triumph of Triangle
Not slrc the Strand has bcrn opened hae wr heard as many
complimentary remarks rcpgrdtnji our program as wp have the past
week during which time we Inaugurated the TKIANGLK regime. t
the STRAND.
I
Personally we thouRht the pictures exceptionally pood from'
every viewpoint, and up to our tulvance promisee, but we carefully
watched our audience to see whnt Impression tho pictures made,
upon them snd we heard fewer unfavorable remarks last week than
any time, so there Is naturally only one conrluston to form and that
Is TK!At;i.K TUH'MI'HIT).
They tell us that this week's bill Is even better, but we do not
see how such" a thins; Is possible.
Anyway, today and tomorrow we hate delightful Dorothy Olah
la a picturesque story of German college daya entitled "OLD
HEIDELBERG." You know little Dorothy she of Birth of Nation
fame nd in this offering she Is even seen to better advantage, be
cause the stellar role belongs to her and she more than makes good.
No matter if you are the raoet rabid Allies supporter in Omaha, or
the biggest German booster, you'll enjoy this picture. It has noth
ing to do whatever with the present regrettable conflict, but Is based
on the romantic love atory of a German prince at this historic old
college. We don't have to tell you the production has been lavishly
mounted and produced you already expect that.
And our Keystone comedy your old friend Eddie Foy and his
Foyltes are featured and 'tis called "A Favorite Fool." You've seen
Eddie and hia-no-race-suicide-aggregatlon t the Orpheum, now
come over and see the whole bunch In pictures, especially Keystones.
This picture is also on Sunday and Monday.
TuesdAy, Wednesday and Thursday comes a wonderful combina
tion the distinguished American actor, Frank Keenan, in a grip
ping story of the civil war, "THE COWARD," plus Fatty Arbuckle
in several thousand feet of joy, "Fickle Fatty's Fall." You'll never
witness a more dramatic picture In your whole "movie" experience
than "THE COWARD." or a funnier one than "Fickle Fatty." This
is some combination, isn't it sobs for the Bobbers laughs for the
laughers.
Friday and Saturday we offer a Metro masterpiece, Emily
Stevens, in "The House of Tears." We knew fellows were sometimes
jealous and girls were jealous now then we are finding out that
even film exchanges have a little of this same "bug," so In order to
keep every one in a happy frame of mind, we beg to state that wre '
are still using Metro pictures every Friday and Saturday that they
are giving excellent satisfaction, and further that "The House of.
Tears" la accredited with being one of the strongest pictures ever:
released by any concern. We don't know what else we could add.
SUrtlns today. Lowell and Esther head
ths bill st the Bmpress In a comedy skit
entitled "At ths Fountain," followed by
Knight and Moors, showing some of tbs
latest steps in parlor dances; Jos White
head, the funny comedian. In a little non

sktoduns sn opportunity to appear in
i3R. PADEREWSKI
The greatest pianist of the age.
The man who has played to larger
audiences, both in Europe and
America, than any pianist since
Lizst. His concert will be a lesson
in finesse for any music student;
an inspiration to any pianist, and a
source of pleasure and entertain
ment for any music lover.

opportunity surely never the op
portunity to hear him at the prices
the retailers are offering, and with
the additional inspiration which an
immense audience gives the artist.
BUT buy your seats immedi
