THE NEW FORD
Everything
you want or need
in a motor ear
THE more you see of the now Ford, thr more you
realize (liat it bring* you everything you want or
need in a motor ear. . . . And at an unusually
low price.
ItH hubatantia] beauty of line and color is ap-
parent at a glance. Long, continuous service em-
phasizes the value of its simplicity of design and the
high quality that has been built into every part.
The new Ford accelerates quickly and it will
do 55 to 65 miles an hour. It is an easy>riding car
because of its specially designed springs and four
Hoadaille double-acting hydraulic shock absorb-
ers. It lias fully enclosed four-wheel brakes and
the added safety of a Triplex shatter-proof glass
windshield. Operation and up-keep costs are low
and it has the stamina and reliability that mean
thousands of miles of uninterrupted service.
See the nearest dealer and have him give you
a demonstration ride in the new Ford. Check up
every point that goes to make a good automobile
and you will know it is a value far above the price.

"LIFE (II THE PARTY" TAKES
WINNIE BVCK TO DICGIN'S
r- limit
Winnir Lightner returns to the
gold digg r character tin- type of
role for which she is famous- in
"The Life of the Party," the War-
ner Brothers natural color Vitaphone
production which opens at the Dixie
Theatre next Teusday and Wednes-
day, January 20 and 21.
Miss Lightner as everybody knows
made her first great success as «
typical smart cracking gold digger
in "Gold Diggers of Broadway," and
it is in this same medium that she
is seen in this new picture—a pictum
made of and for laughter.
No one enjoyed Miss Lightner's
return to a gold digging role more
than Miss Lightner herself. who
practiced new gags and grimaces for
several weeks before the picture
went into production.
"The F.ife of the Party" brings
her to the screen at' her uproarious
best, while the all star east includes
such famous stage and screen play-
ers as Irene Del-ov, Jack Whiting,
Charles Butterworth and Charles
Judels.
It is adapted to the screen by Ar-
thur Caesar, king of Broadway wu
who also get credit for the spark-
ling dialogue.
Rov Del Ruth, who directed Miss
IJghtner in "Gold Diggers of Broad-
way," directed "The Life of the
Party."
The Meat Dish
MAKES THE MEAL
And to make the meal a tasty one, the meat must be fresh
and tender.
On crisp days, nothing is better than juicy pork chops, or
fresh. well-wasowd sausage.
