As a modem maid craving romance As a society doll wedded to wealth As a prima donna gaming with fame As a school teacher duty before beauty Love swayed her being Here# storm and sunshine love, love at its peak and love at its depth. Dramatic love, romantic love, real love and tinsel love enact ed against settings of sumptuous splendor to thrill, amaze and satisfy the most discriminating. Here is the screen’s met' attractive beauty at her best. Mr. W'ebb invited me to nee this picture run off Friday morning,, just after the film had arrived of the theatre. Heretofore I have never been carried away by filoria Swanson. Other players ha\e appea’ed to me more, notwithstanding that Miss Swanson has the reputation of being the country’s most successful performed Uut this picture made it appear clear lo me why lhis woman has built up such a stupendous reputa tion. Tiie play is literally enthralling. In the first j plr.ee. the sheer artistry of it has perhaps never been i urpassed. The purely physical aspect of the film i- really 'beautiful. And the story is unusual. It | ■"builds un the reincarnation idea. I-ttt;; of pcdolc in our limn believe in what is called reincarnation; (hat is, souls living again and attain on (his planet, or on this plane, and such be Ik‘( maker one- life the background for another life, and vo cn up the scale, IH is a new theme on the screen, and the result is very engrossing, and very fascinating. Which is 11 way of saying that the play, while not “deep,” at 'he same time is sufficiently serious and true to make it from this purely moral point of view very different. Gloria Gowns well, as they say out in Belvedere Heights. She can wear clothes. And she has the Pep and vitality, to carry the action over with a ring. It is, all told, a very fine film; an unusually fine me. And you will miss a treat if you fail to see it. A. D. JAMES of the Star Staff.

And yet, vchen a section which | believes in prohibition shows signs i of not swallowing a man whose j chief claims for the nomination is j that he opposes prohibition im- ! mediately comes the cry of ‘re- j ligious bigotry.” It’s just as rea- j sonable to accuse SmHth’s “wet”) supporters of wanting aim because he is a Catholic as it is to accuse his “dry” opponents of not want ing him because he is a Catholic.

B." stands not only for STABILITY, but for STRENGTH, SECURITY and SERVICE, in the hanking and business circles of Piedmont Carolina. In fact you sometimes hear the expression used, “As Strong as the First Na tional,” when someone wishes to impress upon their hearers the superior strength of some object. To achieve such and impression it takes more than “hot air,” “bull” or even printer’s ink.” ,In fact it takes a supply of cold, hard cash, plus character and abil ity. To back up this mark of stability “F. N. B.” has Capital, Surplus, Profits and Cash Reserves amounting to Over Three Quarters of a Million Dol lars. Total Resources of over Four Million Dol lars, and the individual responsibility of 125 stock holders who represent to a large extent the best in the business, professional and financial world in this section.
