If there were a Superman —whose signature on pieces of sky-blue paper had the miraculous power tomake your journey in foreign lands easy and comfortable, and at the same time was usable anywhere as actual money and always safe— Would you make those slips of sky-blue paper with that signature a part of your necessary travel equipment? American Express Travelers Cheques are just such pieces of paper. For 30 years they have been a protective and helpful necessity to world travelers. Their influence rests on the international supremacy of the American Express Company. Their service is the practical service of its thousands of correspondents and many separate offices. Worthless until personally counter-signed by the owner, these cheques insure them- selves against theft or loss. Sterling Cheques, 5 and 10 £ for Great Britain. French Franc Cheques, 200 and 400 francs. Not subject to a varying ex- change; proof against the sharp moncy changers. For the United States, Canada and all other countries, the Dollar Trav- elers Cheques. Buy them at Express Offices or at your own bank. For all journeys, secure your steamship tickets, hotel reservations and itineraries, or plan your cruise or tour thru the American Express Travel Department.

CAREY & SONS, INC., PRINTERS (The regular Silent Drama department will be found on page 844 of this issue) Now or Never (Pathé)—Harold Lloyd contributes his well-calculated drollery to a comedy which is less slap-stick than usual, and alittle less funny, The scenes are laid in a Pullman car. Mooncotn (Dramafilms)—The old story of Pierrot and Pierrette told in a series of pictures which are beautiful to look at, but lacking in consecutive interest. Tne Rent Courectork (Iitagraph)- have seldom heard louder laughter theatre than that which greeted this up- roarious Larry Semon comedy. Without wishing to boast, we may say that we con- tributed more than our share to the general noise. Tur Lure or et (Pathé).—Plots and counterplots in the Pyramids, with a great deal of beating of tom-toms and weird notes on the clarinets. One has some “difficulty in deciding what it is all about. Tue Lost -Romance (Paramount) —A William de Mille production of a stupid triangle story by Edward Knoblock. Well mounted, but dull. Toxy Sarc’s Atmanac.—Highly divert- ing and original series of animated shadow- graphs, showing that men in the prehistoric era had just about as many troubles as we have to-day. Tue Wito Goose (Paramount).—A truly terrible picture about a man who shoots a wild goose, and thereby causes his wife to forsake him for a bounder from the West. Well worth overlooking. Bevonp Price (Fox).—Pearl White gets still farther away from the old thrill days in this cheap and unimpressive comedy. Keerinc Ur Witnt Lizzie (Hodkinson).— Excellent: adaptation of Irving Bacheller’s story, well played by Enid Bennett and a good cast Suam (Paramount).—Ethel Clayton as a young social vulture who succeeds in gyp- ping everyone, including the poor boobs in the audience who paid to see the picture. It is hard to understand why this accomplished actress continues to appear in such worth- less films. J'Accuse (Klaw)—Magnificent French production, designed as propaganda against war. Well acte nd consistently dramatic.
