"THE TEXAN.”
Totally different in many ways, yet bringing the same care-free, swaggering, outdoor freedom, of "The Virginian" to the talking screen, "The Texan," Paramount's second great romance of the West, opens a three day showing at the Central Theatre, Gray Cooper, "The Virginian," is also "The
Texan."
Filled with splendid outdoor
scenes and action, the picture has a clean cut, appeal. Gary Cooper

She played opposite Cooper in "The First Kiss" and "Legion of the Condemned." Emma Dunh gives another wonderful mother portrayal, one of the best of those which have made her famous on stage and sereen for nearly #1 quarter of a century, John Crom- well,, who directed George Ban- croft in "The Mighty" and William Powell in "Street of Chance," made this picture.

UP AND DOING !
Don't let the heat Don't give in to headaches and "nerves" ! and humidity ruin your health and spoil your happiness. Always keep a bottle of Genasprin handy — it's a woman's best -friend In the East. For Genasprin, the pure and therefore safe brand of aspirin, is wonderful for relieving all sorts of pain, for giving you and your children deep, restful sleep and for soothing your nerves. Besides, Genasprin leaves no bad after- effects whatever, and "retains its power in spite of repeated administration."
Without the slightest risk." A famous Doctor wrote in "The Medical Times":"What chiefly distinguishes Genasprin from the numerous other brands is the fact that, owing to its absolute purity, it cap be prescribed much more freely than those without the slightest risk of toxic symptoms. The frequent use of small doses of Genasprin affords effectiva relief from pain, produces no nausea or other reaction, does not create a habit or craving, retains its power in spite of repeated' administration, causes no disturbance of digestion and is not dissolved by the gastric juices but expelled from the body with considerable speed."
Shake off Pain with
GENASPRIN
The SAFE brand of Aspirin
To relieve the pain of Headache, Malaria, Dengue, Toothache, Heatstroke and Neuralgia, and to soothe the nerves in cases of Sleeplessness, Orm- exertion. Excitement, and Irritability.
W. R. LOXLEY & Co. Agents.
To obtain the best results, Genasprin should be dissolved in a little water.
