The illustrious star, Laura Hope Crews will to-night make her debut in the beautiful “Lasky ” production “Blackbirds,’ ’released on the Parajfelount Service. If you read the American or English trade journals, or have any direct knowledge of the cinematograph industry in the countries mentioned, it is only reiterating Che universal opinion to say that Paramount is the highest grade service in the world. The Famous Players-Las-ky productions reach the zenith of perfection. They feature the highest paid stars in the world and the greatest number of them. Consistent quality and clean moral pictures are part of a definite policy .to produce photoplays that cannot offend, yet each feature is full of that human heart interest and excitement which is the life and soul of a picture. The Paramount policy in two words is—Clean Pictures —That is why Paramount Service finds a home at Everybody’s.

There’s never a rod In "The Land of Nod.” And no need of a flagellant there, For no sweet babe could refuse to be good

In a kingdom so peaceful and fair. T4er e are rows and rows of pretty pink toes In that realm where no sorrows en-

dure; And the guardian fates, by its great gates. Give Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure.
