Newark folks will have an
opportunity to see how a “reg
ular” girl behaves when Selz
nick Pictures present Elsie
Janis in “A Regular Girl” at
the Royal Theatre on Thurs
day, Aug. 31. Miss Janis, it

“A Regular Girl is the first
picture she made after her
return from France and is said
to be one of the most entertain
ing photoplays produced in
several months. The authors
of the story have taken a typi

■and ginger, placed her in the
center of a timely plot which
deals with the problems and
difficulties arising from her de
termination to land jobs foi
returned soldiers and aid then
in finding “wives to match.”
TheFe are many noveltj
scenes throughout the entire
picture, including those which
show an entire circus in ful
blast, a trip through Coney Is
land’s Luna Park a party or
board the yacht “Oneida” anc
the inner circles of one of Neve
York’s “swell” boarding hous
es.

t The White River Manganese
• Company have recently in
. stalled a washer on their man
ganese property near Bate3
ville, and is now cleaning the
small ore from the dirt, and
producing a very fine grade of
manganese. In former oper
ations in the manga .ese mines
only the large ore was consid
ered valuable, but through
this new process, which has
proven very lucrative, much
ore is §aved.
Maxfield’s
are built of the best materials and by the best of work
men. The wheels are extra strong. . The tires are bolt
ed on between every two spokes, and the rims are riv
eted on each side of every spoke to prevent splitting.
The reaches are strong, and have a heavy strip of
iron on the bottom running the full length of the reach.
The corners of the body are strong and will not split,
open. The seat is braced so the ups and downs of
rough roads will not shake it loose.
The Banner Buggy has long easy riding springs
and comfortable, full upholstered seats. We have a
good stock to select from; have them with red, maroon
win . blac’r, brewster green, London smoke, and bat
tleship gray running gears, with attractive black auto
mobile scats. .We have a good selection to show you
now, and suggest that you come in the first chance you
have.
