Do Your 
Christmas Shopping 
NOW !! 
It is only one week to Christmas and to avoid the bother and dis- 
appointments experienced last year your shopping should be planned at 
once and purchases made well in advance.. Early shopping will enable 
you to save money as there is time and opportunity to make leisurely 
selections, enabling you to get just what you want at the price you wish 
to pay. 
sane again, twice the number of gifts can be purchased in half the 
time as there are no crowded aisles, nor overworked salespeople, no long 
waits for change or for parcels. It enables you to purchase the cream 
of the stocks, thus getting the best, most distinctive and unusual gifts, and 
to make comparisons as to price, quality, etc. Early shopping prevents 
the disappointment of gifts being received too late for exchange, or to be 
delivered or altered. 
If buying is done in Salem gifts are purchased of merchants you 
know and who can be quickly and easily reached to meet any such exi- 
gency.

still continues her merry way at the 
Cort theatre, where this popular 
comedy is approaching its fifth month 
of prosperity. Since Labor Day, 
when this play opened the season. of 
the Cort, some of the greatest stars 
of the stage world have appeared here 
and only one has gone beyond a few 
weeks of endurance. To those who 
have seen Peg, however, this might 
cause but little wonder for plays of 
problem, sex and-other usual themes 
appeal only to a limited class—each 
according to its light. “Peg O’ My 
Heart” is different. J. Hartley Man- 
ners, the author, has written in this 
a story that appeals not only once but 
many times in such a vein of varied 
pathos, romance and humor that the 
seeing of it the second or third time 
improves upon the first pleasant im- 
pression. 
It is announced that the scale of 
prices for the extra Christmas Day 
matinee will be the same as that of 
the regular matinee of Wednesday, 
from 25 cents to $1.50.

preached either on the stage or in the 
pulpit. _ Not one of the thousands 
and thousands of spectators who have 
seen these ‘wonderful films ever 
leaves the theatre, without having 
been absolutely convinced of the ut- 
ter wickedness of ‘war, of the terrible 
ruin it leaves in its wake and of its 
complete uselessness. 
These films are without any ques- 
tion the greatest argument for dis- 
armament and permanent peace ever 
advanced. Exhibitions daily at 
hourly intervals, from II a. m. to II
