It is with sincere pleasure and pride
that the Electric Theatre announces

The Saturday Evening Popt. to write
thc stol y of "Our Mutual Girl!" Mr.
Cobb ?is conceded to be the premier
humotist of America. He has been
acclaimed ai; "the Mailt Twain of In

sumption that he will inject into this
already universally popular photo-ser
ial a wealth of humor, or heart inter
est, and of rtrong drama which will
more than rat Isl y the hungriest* pho
toplay patron.
Mr. Cobb wits born in Paducnh, Ky.,
less than forty yearr ago, with au en
dowment of natural humor, and
through his extensive newspaper ex
perience ho lins developed au excep
tional appreciation of the amusing
oddities of human nature.
Even the ordinary appears inter
est In? when viewed through his scin
tillating rpcctaclcs. There is no gue
writing photoplays today who ir better
equipped for the work than Mt. Cobb.
One of the greatest artlntr In this

when an unsuspecting salesgirl is
grabbed by men who thing she Is the
missing Margaret. She does look like
the young woman the gangpters be
lieved her to be, and with nothing but
a newspaper picture to guide them it
ir. not surprising that the mistake was
made.
Doubtless many who see the film
showing the 'kidnapping of the shop

not detect the error of the kidnappers
until lt ls pointed out by Ada Taylor.
Detectives will tell you that a pho
tograph of one person often will look
like another, or like a photograph of
tho other person when the two indi

noticeable. This is particularly true
when the features are somewhat alike
but the height and "iWelgai-differ ma
