Odeon Today. Beautiful
Pauline Frederick
is the star of the Famous Players-Paramount production "The
Slate Market,* by Frederic Arnold Kumraer, which is the featured
attraction at the Odeon today. In this romantic story, Miss Fred-
erick is a Spanish beauty who falls into the hands of pirates and
is finally offered for sale on the slave block.
Director Hugh Ford took his company to Cuba in order to obtain
the best possible Spanish atmosphere. As some of the scenes
transpire in the West Indies, tl e sending of the players to Cuba was
an especially happy thought. Some of the most thrillingly inter-
esting incidents in the story transpire on shipboard when the
pirates attack the vessel in which Ramona has sailed from Spain
to the West Indies. There are hand-to-hand encounters on the
vessel as the pirates come swarming over the side after the an-
cient custom of all pirates since maritime pilfering became an in-
stitution.

co" drama is the feature at Odeon tomorrow.

ART OF A WOMAN. j
Really More Subtle Than the Art of a |
More Artist.
Technic is the vny life and soul of
engraving To tlie m r < r nothlir-
ls truer than Franc is Millet's saying
that "art is a calculation."
Take the calculation ly.volvcd in the
art of making a lady s <iiv>s a t I'.ln^s
of beauty, though but a flcetinv
as all joys are. Tile value of eon
trusted textures Is here we'.i t.la.\ed
The modiste has a best of materials
from which to choose; hut, kuowliu the
value of restraint, she is wisely spar
Inu' and Judicious In tlieir use
S:i v it Is * u oreainj t* Uite rtbe. The j
mellow glow of satin or silk upon u (
setting of soft merino or serge en-
hances by their opposition the quali-
ties of each. A necklace of pearls in
juxtaposition with cloudy tulle or deli-
cate lace gleams with a distinguished
radiance, while the shadows beneath
the brows and nose, softened by the re-
flect ion from the light material, are
much less pronounced than they other-
wise would be, and the eyes, catching
up the light, sparkle with a greater
brilliancy. If there are any wrinkles
in the face they disappear, or, if not,
they are greatly modified, and the faco
assumes a fairer and more youthful
aspect
I have seen a narrow strip of black
velvet ribbon encircling the neck of
one whoso face would, without this
startling device, have shown deep lines,
as in ladies of character and experi-
ence. Hut by this artful contrlvanrt)
the wrinkles vanish. How Is It possi-
ble to discover the wrinkles when this
far deeper wrinkle holds Abe eye?
Millet counsels the artist to hide his
art behind his canvas. So the engrav-
er hides bis behind liis block. Hut the
feminine arts are past finding out; no
one knows where tliey are hidden.—

DRESSING A WOUND.
Ute Soap In an Emergency, and It Will
Prevent Infection.
The danger of Infectious, even from
slight abrasions of the skin, is ap-
preciated so thoroughly today that no
intelligent person will willingly neglect
slight cuts or bruises where it is pos-
sible to give such injuries first aid
treatment with some kind of dressing.
Frequently, however, there are none
of the usual remedies at hand, but a
cake of soap is almost always avail-
able, and this substance makes an ex-
cellent dressing, as European army
surgeons testify.
The favorite substance of the sur-
geons for cleansiug wounds before the
days of uutlseptlc dressings was a so-
lution of eastile soap. The usual meth-
od of dressing a wound at that time
was to wash it thoroughly with the
MtpiiMii, allow .the surface to dry and
then apply lints and bandages. The
soapsuds removed the germs from the
wound, but as the bandages and dress-
ings were not sterilized these dressings
frequently contained bacteria which In-
| fected the wound. If the surgeon had
, gone one step further with bis castlle
| soap dressing and dipped his lints into
! thi soapsuds before applying them or
rubbed the moistened soap Into the
I lint his treatment would have been
much more effective.
j Every one should bear In mind, there-
: fore, that any kind of soap makes a
; good emergency dressing and should
| be used as a covering for freshly In-
jured surfaces if nothing letter is
available. A strip torn from a hand-
kerchief, with the moistened soap rul>-
bed Into the meshes and bound over
the wound, will prevent infection from
outside sources. And if the wound has
been thoroughly cleansed with soap-
suds It Is probable that no other dress-
ing will be required.—Los Angeles
j Times.
CUSTARD PIE COMEDY.
Its Vogue In the Movies Due to Our
Primitive Sense of Humor.
After the comic "pursuit" picture
movio directors were at their wits' eml
until the most famous impresario of
knockabout fun invented the motif of
the custard pie. A custard pie bom-
bardment has two very strong elements
of humor concealed in its action. One
is surprise, and the other is messiness.
There are lots of nice people who think
it is vulgar and outrageous to laugh ut
such elemental hiunor, yet there Is
something fundamentally funny in see-
ing a body's face projected through the
soft goo of a custard pie.
If you do not believe this try it some
day on your neighbor when he pushes
his head over the fence to suy good
morning or to borrow the lawn mower.
Hit him full on, butter side out, with
a custard plo and see whether the re-
sult Is not funny or tragic. A hair of-
ten divides the two. If you make this
experiment you will learn that only a
eoyiplete bullseye is funny. If the pie
should hit on the edge or only partial
ly break, the joke Is held in suspense
and spoiled, but if you "moon him" 1
assure you the neighbors for miles
round will all laugh.' My, the number
of custard pies that we have wasted
while one of the comedians perfected
his technic and aim! A good custard
plo thrower Is invaluable in the comics.
It is queer that the pie must bo custard.
This same director also invented the
comedy police, who have had more
trouble with the real police than any
actors on the screen. The humor of
the wild exploits of these volatile offi-
cers of the law Is based upon two
motifs. One is the collapse of dignity,
and the other Is a kid desire in the
hearts of nearly all of us to see author-
ity get it in the neck.—Hob Wagner in
Saturday Evening Post.

This Is Gross
Misrepresentation
If this dealer wishes to sell bread without any profit,
that is his business; but any one with the money
lo buy or w hose credit is good can buy bread in
Shawnee as good in quality and cheap in price
as in Oklahoma City or anywhere else.
We, the Shawnee bakers have always kept up the
quality of our bakery products, as the people of
Shawnee demand quality as well as quantity.

Not a War
Picture
No Horrible, Gruesome Battle Scenes
Herbert Brenon's Overwhelming Produetion
Not a War
Picture
Mazimova in "War Brides"
is the greatest and most soulful motion picture drama ever shown. We have personally seen this great-
est of Herbert Brenon productions and it is our opinion that excepting the four great million dollar
spectacles, "War Brides" is the greatest picture ever produced.
It is NOT a war picture but a plcturo that shows war's effect upon women and those who stay at home.
The story is of tremendous import, big, broad, deep, a story that quickly graps your interest, you become
absorbed immediately and with undivided attention you watch eagerly for each new revelation of the
wonderful flint. "War Brides" has hud a phenomenal run at the Broadway Theatre, New lork as a two
dollar attraction.
Prices for "War Brides**: Lower floor 25c. Children 10c, Balcony, Adults 20c; Children 10c.
