This page is primarily **advertising** with minimal editorial content. The main items are: **Advertisements:** - **Marmola Tablets**: A weight-loss product marketed to women, using before/after social commentary. The copy suggests a woman's value depends on being "slender" and fashionable—reflecting 1920s beauty standards emphasizing thinness. - **Pathfinder cigarette case**: Sold as a self-defense novelty disguised as a cigarette case, appealing to urban anxieties about crime and "hold-up men." - **Sousa Band Instrument**: Musical equipment advertisement. **Editorial Content (Minor):** A brief "Motion Pictures" section reviews films including "The Red Lily" and "Dante's Inferno," with a humorous exchange between a press agent and actress about endorsing face creams indiscriminately. A small cartoon shows a child wishing Adam "never had a rib" (biblical reference to Eve's creation), commenting on gender relations. The page reflects early 20th-century consumer culture, gender roles, and urban safety concerns.

This time it is done by Ramon No- varro and Enid Bennett. This “Red Lily” is not the one written by Anatole France. Has nothing to do with Anatole though it has to do with France, but was written by Fred Niblo, not quite so well known in literature as Anatole. This is —London Mail drawn to your attention, not so much to disparage Mr. Niblo as to avert in your mind the confusion that might arise in your thinking that it is the Anatole France story you are going to see. Niblo’s story revolves about two youngsters who journey to Paris and get lost. From that moment they sink to the depths of the slums and finally meet in the gutter, a stream of life that is pic- turesque not only to those who live there but also to those of us who are permitted to sit in the plush seats of motion picture houses to view it. + * * “Dante’s Inferno,” we have been eed | Esa Bobby (who has had a thrashing)—Don’t I just wish Adam had never had arib! —Passing Show (London) | comicbooks.com
