Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Section Plays and Players (Continued) ALL winter the little shop girls and boarding school girls and actresses in New York City have wasted three cents each morning just to read what a certain reporter had to say. The reporter wasn't much as reporters go — but his name was that of one of the most exclusive of all the exclusive families of the 400. About two months ago, the newspaper was sold right out under this poor rich reporter, and he was left without a job. Finally he found a vacancy in the motion picture department of New York's theatrical newspaper. But the dapper society youth did not appear to report for work after the editor engaged him. It is said that when son went home and told mother that he had a new job interviewing motion picture actresses, and taking Sennett bathing girls out to tea, mother refused to let him have it. Isn't that too bad? Since then, the announcement has been made public of the young man's engagement to a society debutante. Perhaps the gossips are wrong, and the young woman had something to do with it. IN spite of the fact that she is a famous singer, Madame Schumann-Heink is just like a lot of other people. Her idea of having a swell time at Atlantic City is to go to seven motion pictures a day. As we go to press she is in California. Her record is eight pictures in a day. KITTY GORDON, she of the famous back, was awarded $1,400 for injuries received by a bomb which had the temerity to explode under her very nose when she played the part of a Red Cross nurse in the World Film picture, "No Man's Land." Miss Gordon sued for $10,000. VIVIAN MARTIN is to have her own company; it is being formed for her rjght now. Managing Director Bowes, of the big Capitol Theatre — largest in the world in New York — is overseeing the enterprise. Meanwhile, Vivian has celluloided herself in a Gaumont film entitled, "Husbands and Wives." THE proverbial pig in the parlor has caused another furore. When the Theda Bara-Fox film, "Kathleen Mavourneen," was exhibited in San Francisco a riot was caused in which the objecting element did about 53,000 damage, destroying projection machines and film and putting the house in a hullabaloo. The rioters said the scenes which portrayed Irish poverty and other portions of the Fox version of Tom Moore's romance, were falsely drawn. Certain parts of the picture had been cut before it was publicly shown. The film was taken off. ONCE we heard of a woman who could sit through reels and reels of Chaplin's best comedy without laughing. But the small boys of Belleville, Illinois, are not so constructed. In fact, whenever they see a funny film — any of their favorite slapstick artists — they simply can't contain themselves; they give way to boisterous laughter. An alderman happened to visit a theatre one night, and heard their unholy mirth. He immediately registered strenuous opposition against such unseemly conduct. One of his fellow aldermen presumed to argue with him, retorting, "Isn't that what comedy films are made for — to laugh at?" Not possessing a sense of humor, the other alderman refused to answer. After a long discussion the objector's motion was put to vote and defeated. So — they are laughing again in Belleville. 103 Price 35c The Cost of a 60-Dish Package of Quaker Oats A 60-dish package of Quaker Oats will cost you 35 cents. A small fish will cost you the same amount — enough to serve four people. Three chops will cost you about the same — only enough for three. And seven eggs at this writing cost as much as that 60-dish package of Quaker. Mark the Food You Get The package of Quaker Oats yields 6221 calories — the energy measure of food value. The fish, eggs or chops which that 35c buys will not average one-tenth as much. As a food they cannot compare with oats. For the oat is the greatest food that grows. It is almost a complete food, nearly the ideal food. About all the human body needs is in oats in right proportion. This is how the calory cost compares with other necessary foods, based on prices at this writing: Cost per 1000 Calories Quaker Oats, 5^c Average Meats, 45c Average Fish, 50c Hen's Eggs, 70c Vegetables, lie to 78c The wise housewife's conclusion must be this: The proper breakfast is Quaker Oats. It means supreme nutrition — foods that everybody needs. And the 90 per cent that it saves on breakfasts can buy costlier foods for dinner. maker Oafe Only 10 Pounds in a Bushel Quaker Oats are flaked from queen grains only — just the rich, plump, flavory oats. We get but ten pounds from a bushel. You get the cream of oats, the maximum flavor, without extra cost, when you ask for this premier brand. 35c and 15c per Package Except in the Far West and South Packed in Sealed Round Packages with Removable Cover 3339 When you write to advertisers please mention PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE.
