What Would YOU Give
for the Key to Happiness?
You want to love and be loved, .to be happy. . .
to be successful.
"What I wanted, I thought about... and then I
always got it," said the late Andrew Carnegie...
happy with love, .and tens of millions.
Not new. .for didn't the old Chinese Philosopher
say it ten thousand years ago?
If YOU think right, YOUR work is beautiful
YOUR sweetheart is beautiful.. YOUR wife is
beautiful.
Remember. . .as you think, so you are.
All the beauty in life and success in welfare that
you can understand, will come to you IF YOU
THINK THAT BEAUTY IS SUCCESS.
There arc three young people who tested it...
two young men and a girl.
She is a dancing girl. The flashing grace of her
lyrical body and slim black-stockinged legs once
saved a theatre from panic.
She is gentle, brave and gay, swift and restless as
a bird. Each pulse of her body sings for joy. Her
name is Gypsy Fair.
The older of the boys is James "Spike" McFadden,
a handsome blonde giant who conquers the girls with
his voice. . and the males with his great fist.
The younger is Billy, his brother, blessed with
talent, cursed with temper ..splendid with devo
tion. Pittpd against them was opposition. . .their own
thoughts in the first place... and again the Malay
adventurer who wished the girl to go with him to his
own land of lilies and blue nights. She scorned him
he plotted vengeance against her. . .surprising
schemes.
You will see how thoughts drive you away from
happiness. . .and to happiness. . .you will be kissed
with golden romance. . .you will spend an exciting
evening full of adventure and glimpses of glorious
life.
And tomorrow. . .after the thrills and spell have
' passed away, you will thrill again to realize that you
have SOMETHING you didn't have before.
Follow the idea in this play, and you absolutely
will find THE KEY TO HAPPINESS, besides
spending a great evening.
"A love that is transcendent animates the tale."
Record
"The strongest emotional acting that the local
screens have had." Evening Ledger
You will never see more graphically what
THOUGHTS can do than in seeing "DREAM
STREET." It is at the Chestnut Street Opera House
. .with two performances daily. . .for a limited time.
The piano's importance in the household
never looms so large as when the buyer
discovers a mistake has been made in its
selection. Many buy cheap pianos, misled
by the superficiality of newness tone
appears good, varnish glitters, case design
is acceptable; but a little time dispels these
attractions, and regret follows money loss.
Steinway pianos are built for all time.
Solidity of mechanical work and perma
nence of tone characterize every Steinway.
These essentials of the best piano are so
evident that no expert help is needed in se
lecting a Steinway. ' Every one is best'
a great musician has said. Before your
selection is made, be sure to see, hear and
try the Steinway Style M Grand Piano
(5 ft. 7 in. length), the smallest real grand
piano. In beautiful mahogany case, $1375.
