She has® been starred on the stagee in ‘“The Trail of the Lonesome Pine,” “Just a Woman" and other plays written by her hus- band, Eugene Walter, author of “The Easiest Way.” 5 She has also been starred in a number of motion pictures which have increased her popularity. REX TONIGHT Leo White, as the love-sick swain and brother officer and rival of Chaplin for the hand of Carmen, in Essanay’s four-act comedy ‘Charlie Chaplin’s Burlesque on Carmen,” portrays his part in this play with exceptional skill. He is constantly bobbing up at the wrong momeni, usually when Chaplin and Carmen are making violent love. His work is particularly skilled in the duel between himself and Chaplin. RKun through with a sword, he dies grace- fully and then picks himself up and gives his fleeing rival the laugh for imagining that one died so easily in comedy parts. This is the only Chaplin feature to be had. PEG 0’ MY HEART The quaint Irish brogue, the in- corrigible red hair, the tempestuous humors and the warm sympathies of “Peg O’ My Heart” will be at the Grand Tuesday next. Large house are greeting this de- lightful little play this week in Du- luth and the announcement of its forthcoming engagement will prob- ably be welcome news ‘to many pat- rons of the theater. This piece was written by J. Hartley Manners for Lauretta Taylor, who promised to marry him if it was'a success. It was a big success, and although the central figure, that of the hoydenish “Peg,” was broadened and built up to fit the cleverness and adaptability of Miss Taylor, the author also wrote a play that fits Marion Dentler ad- mirably. As the part is the one big thing in the play, it is essential that just the right sort of an interpreter be chosen, and judging from the wel- come extended Miss Dentler on her first tour of Eastern Canada with the Morosco company. {wo, years ago, the United Prod g eompany made no mistake in selecting her for the title role for the present tour.

Instead it holds out to you an opportun- ity to SAVE and INVEST. It merelyasks for the use of your ready cash. It of- fers to pay well for the privilege and to give you in return the safestinvestment in the world—a United States Govern- ment Bond. ) When you invest in a ‘‘Liberty Bond”’ you get a signed ‘‘promise to pay’’ backed by the total resources of the richest nation on the face of the globe— a nation whose wealth is recorded at the astounding figure of $250,000,000,000 or nearly the- combined wealth of Great Britain, France, Germany and Austria- Hungary. You get the bond of a nation whose yearly income is estimated at $50,000,000,000, or twenty-five times the present loan—one whose per capita wealth of $2,500 is larger than that of any other power and whose per capita debt, even after the present $2,000,000,- 000 loan is sold, will be about $30, or less than one-tenth that of either Great Britain, France or Germany. IN MULTIPLES OF $50. Our last big government loan, the $200,000,000 of 3 per cent Spanish-American War Bonds, was _so0ld in 1898 at par and by 1900 the price had risen to 1103. N Liberty Loan Bonds may be secured in mul- tiples of $50. This makes it possible for every earning person to share in this great invest- ment. The bonds will bear 3% per cent inter- est and will be dated June 15, 1917, with in- terest payable semi-annually, December 15 and June 15. Bonds will become due in 30 years and be redeemable in 15 years. Should the Government put out any future issues at an interest rate higher than 3% per cent before the close of the war, the ‘‘Liberty Loan’’ will immediately become convertible into higher rate bonds. EXEMPT FROM TAXATION. Our Government has made these bonds ex- empt from all state or federal taxes (except- ing, of course, estates and inheritances) and thus they afford an income of 314 per cent ab- solutely net to you, regardless of the amount of your income. ‘You may have bonds ef $100 denominations registered; thus eliminating any loss from thef$ and making it possible for you to receive your interest direct from the government rather tham presenting coupons at & bank or bond house feq collection. GREATER PROSPERITY FOR YOU. B { Most of the proceeds of this first offering will be loaned by our Governmens to the Allies—bus not a dollar will leave this country or pay for other than American products. This money will be used to extend credit to the Allies that they may continue to enter our markets and pay us for the products of our farms and of our fae- tories. It will come back to us finally in pay- ment for labor and materials. It will broaden the market for our goods, increase the demand for what we have to sell, speed up production and yet guard against over-production. Later on, it will make our Government the world’s biggest customer for our own products because practically the entire $2,000,000,000 will come back for re-deposit in our banks to be used in payment for what our farms and factories pro- duce. In short, this great loan will quicken our industrial pulse and make for Bigger, Better Business, not only throughout the Northwest, bu§ also throughout the entire country. . AS GOOD AS CASH. In some ways the ‘‘Liberty Bonds’? are even better than cash—they are in much the same class as United States Bank Notes—are almosh as liquid as a checking account at your bank— and they pay you three and one-half per cent in- terest. Your banker will take your bonds as se- curity for a loan. | No investment you hold can be safer, and no other bonds enjoy such a broad and ready market in case you wish to sell. You can geb your money practically as easily as you can withdraw it from a savings bank and the right to convert it into higher rate bonds gives you absolute protection of income. SUBSCRIBE NOW. Subscribe for your Liberty Bond now. Tt is as patriotic an act as you can do. Sccretary of the Treasury McAdoo says: ‘‘The greatesb immediate service the American people can ren- der in this War for universal liberty throughout the world is to furnish the means for its vigorous prosecution. This bond issue is the first step. I earnestly bespeak the co-operation of every citizen tflroughont the length and breadth of the land in this great service of patriotism.’’ Do not purchase from solicitors or agents. . Any bank, trust company, bond house, depart- ment store or postoffice will take your subscrip- tion for your Liberty Bond.
