Vtval.of the pictures which opened the
Stanley Theatre. Hobart Bosworth ap
peared In It then, and It is interesting to
note how the difference of showing films
then and now has brought about a more
sensible entertainment for film fans. In
those days one reel of the film was run
nnd-then a vocal selection was given bv
Llrra Abarbaneil and then another reel
of the film. Of course, this spoilt con
secutive enjoyment of the thrllllne Jack
London story for many persons. How
ever, when the picture Is again dis
closed with a new cast and with modern
mountings and tho latest tricks in pho
tography, there is a vast difference for
the better in its presentation.

Cnpltnt "The Shadow of Bofalle
Byrnes," utilizing the dual role theme
with the "mistaken Identity" opportuni
ties that It affords, makes a good vehicle
for Elaine HawmerStoln's talents.
The interest builds with accumulative
power and rises to a well-contrived cli
max In which the dramatic effect is In
creased by clever lighting and detail
work. Elaine Hammersteln appears as
twin sisters, Rosalie Byrnes, n concert
singer, and "The Flame." a character
in city night life. Rosalie marries a
young officer about to sail for trance,
nnd ho sends her picture to his sister,
who In turn shows It to her fiance. Stone
In the meantime "The Flame" becomes
Involved In a scahdal Needing money,
she goes to Rosalie's apartments. While
there she Is approached by Stone, who.
mistaking her for Rosalie, offers her
a sum of money to give Gerald. Rosa
lie's husband, up. She takes advantage
of the situation and consents. Stone
sends Gerald the letter forged by "The
Flame." In which It appears Rosalie
does not love her husband Gerald loses
faith in Rosalie and returns. Of course,
this leads to a happy ending, but the
skillful manner 111 wmtii . ...;..
up makes a pleasing entertainment.
The double photo.aphy. with Miss
Hammersteln appearing simultaneously
as the two sisters, is novel nnd the
settings ami "shots" of the Selznlck
studios are effective.

The Only Typewriter Permitted In
the Chicago and San Francisco
Convention Halls
The Noiseless Typewriter was used not only in
the press sections but even on the speakers' platform!
No other typewriter was permitted inside the Con
vention Halls, where The Noiseless was used by the
Associated Press, the International News Service, the ,
United Press, and the Universal Service, as well as by
correspondents of the great dailies. .
The Noiseless Typewriter was selected not only
because it is the one quiet typewriter, but also because
of its speed and dependability. It did not disturb.
It stood up under the terrific strain of both Conven
tions. No better test of a typewriter ever was made.
The Noiseless Typewriter used at the Conventions
were regular stock machines such as you can pur
chase any day for your own office.
Unless you prefer Bedlam to Quiet it is worth your
while to investigate this revolutionary improvement
in the typewriter.
