No more appropriate costuming has
been seen on the stage in recent years
than that presented by Florence Da?
vis in the successful comedy drama,
A Question of Husbands." The cos
tumes have been selected with a due
and well conceived appreciation of
what may be called the ethics of
dressing. This Is also true of the
stage properties, all of which are
owned by Miss Davis, and provided
especially for her personal purposes.
They are elaborate to a degree so far
as relates to their application in the
unthreading of the plot and they aid
in properly depicting the actual scenes
In such a manner that She scenes
themselves are practically created
into a fact.
The acting of Mise Davis, who is a
handsome woman both on and off the
stage, has been invariably commend
ed. This is especially the case in
Question of Husbands," wherein the
naturalness of her interpretation is
the greatest charm.

Great protection is afforded from Fire as tested here Oct. 26th
by a house set on fire that had been painted inside and out
with these wonderful Fire-Resisting Materials. Hundreds were
witness to this test of Fire. Beside affording greater protec?

PAINT is more durable than any other paint as it resists the
sun heat and wears longer. Best thini; made for painting
