“In Search of a Thrill”
Is Hit for Viola Dana
Opening tonight at the Liberty
Theater, Viola Dana in the Metro
melodrama comedy, “In Search of a
Thrill,” will delight the fans.
“In Search of a Thrill” is an ex
citing romance laid in Paris, and
concerns the adventures of an Am
erican girl whose thirst for thrills
is so unquenchable that she gets in
to all sorts of perilous scrapes. The
action mostly shows her efforts to
get out of them, and is as laugh
provoking as it is thrilling.
Oscar Apfel, directed the picture,
which was adapted for the screen by
| Basil Dickey from Kate Jordan’s
story, “The Spirit of the Road.” In
the supporting cast appear Warner
Baxter, Mabel Van Buren, Rosemary
Theby, and Templar Saxe. Viola
Dana’s admirers will find her at her
comedienne’s best in “In Search of a
Thrill.” The settings range from the
sumptuous splendor of a French villa
to the slum quarter and the Mont
martre dives of the Apaches of the
Paris underworld, where much of the
exciting action takes place.

If I Had Only
Known
TWO WOMEN went out to buy a certain expen
sive labor-saving device for the home.
One was greatly disappointed wThen, a few days
later, they compared notes. She had bought the
same product that many of her friends had owned.
The other woman had secured a greatly im
proved, new product—costing less, but of much more
value.
“If I had only known there was a better one,”
the first woman said, “I would never have bought
this old one.”
“I had just read about it in an advertisement,”
explained the wise buyer.
Every day you miss good news of an improve
ment in different articles of merchandise—unless
you read our advertisements. They tell you of prac
tically every worth-while invention—of every pro
gress" from the old to the new.
Read the advertisements—regularly. Know all
about the thing you are going to buy before you buy
it. It will save you disappointment, money and time.
THE BETTER A PRODUCT IS—THE SOONER
YOU WILL SEE IT ADVERTISED
