In the dnys of forefathers, Spoons and Forks were strictly
utensils. Spoons of one sort or the other, were generally
.used but Forks are so modern that few possessed them
in the days of the American colonies, and the majority
did not know their use. That Spoons and forks should
possess beauty of line or have artistic merit in design was
not in those days a matter of concern.
Spoons and Forks
are now considered an important factor in one's table ap
pointments and great care should be given to the selection
of a pattern. This is as it should be.
Our patterns are the work of skilled designers and offered
in sufficient variety to satify every taste and in weights to
meet every demand.
We desire to show you a beautiful stock from which to
make your selections.

Tuesday's Program
In "The Last of the Madisons," Her
bert Brennon has given us a story of
love and feud amnng mountaineers. It
has been worked up originally and has
some very strong scenes. Jane Fearnloy,
as Madison's daughter, and Will Shea
as her beau, whose family her father
hates, have the romantic roles, while
Matt Snyder and Mrs. Walker, a vindic
tive old couple play the girl's parents
"While the Children Slept," hero is
an interesting children's picture, and
what pleases children usually pleases
the older ones, too. There is enough
comedy to entertain all.

July 30th.
Wednesday Program
"Baron Binks' Bride," is an Imp
farce of queen characters set in Jay
ville. "The Grit of Gringo" has plenty of
action and the Mexican setting Is good.
"The Actor," Edwin August plays a
strong part in this story of tho actor
who obtains a chancp on Broadway only
to have it withdrawn because of the
fear of tho manager that he cannot
carry the big scene. He stages a
quarrel with a friend, in plain view of
a tho man whose word means so much
to him. The big scene is thrilling on
the screens well as for the managr,
who of course, re-engages the a!tor.
Mary Charleston plays tho part of the
actor's wife.
