sketch i Judson Cole, dazzling Illusionist i
Scott and Aubrey, entertainers of merit ;
South and Tobln, funny skit, nnd Perd-

"PASSERS BY" AT GARRICK
Clurrlck "PaHsers By" should enter
tho portals hero and sco a production that
is-repicio wan numan interest .It will
havo a heart throb for many. J. Stuart
Blackton, who directed tho piece, has
given tho screen something worthy, nnd
his work In this vehicle will bo long
remembered. This director hns a BPeclal
process of using pnstel pictures to depict
his soft-focus scenes of places such as
London Bridge nnd tho poorer quarters
of that neighborhood, whllo his fog ef
fects nro wonderfully realistic Those
who recall Grllllth's fog scenes In the
Llmchouso district of London will surely
nppreclnto those vliwa.

Is better than tho stngo version, becauso
It permits of more latitude In details.

sweetheart Ik ndmlrnble. Tom Lewis Is
tho Jovial cabby and Dick Leo has a

Listen, good
friends, and you
shall hear why
some Cigarettes
are so all-fired
dear
SOME cigarettes are packed in pretty
boxes that certainly don't grow on trees.
i
Next, they're dolled up and flavorings are
sure getting expensive. And then, they're
priced a bithigh so they'll seem "exclusive."
But read how Spur Cigarettes offer the highest
possible quality at the lowest 'possible price:
If there are any finer tobaccos from the
Orient and the good old U. S. A. than those
selected for Spurs, they must be a secret that
the world has never heard. And when we got
these combined in Spur Cigarettes, what do
you suppose was the result? Just the best
taste and aroma that any cigarette could give,
and Willie Doll-up or Freddie Flavoring
hadn't a thing to do with it.
Spur is "class" all through even to
the smart "brown-and-silver"
package, triple-wrapped, that keeps
Spurs fresh and fragrant. Try out a
package of Spurs. You'll say " made
and priced for popularity."
