The First National was quick to discover this face and Colleen Moore, one of the great actors of the screen, was entrusted with the responsibility of properly representing Ella before the millions of people who have followed her in the newspapers and who will now see her on the screen. Ella Cinders has taken first place everywhere so far as comic strip readers are concerned. She is certainly the "rage" in the north and inthe south in the east and in the west, -and her popularity is growing "all of the time. Don't fail to see Ella at the Majestic today and morning matinee for the children at a very special price, and then see her every day as she appears in The Clarion-Ledger. Ella Cinders is in Jackson.

In Mississippi she is receiving more attention than any other person, And in Jackson she is the real favorite of all rich and poor alike; boys and girls. In fact, so popular is Ella Cinders in Jackson that Manager Montiel of the Majestic knew that there would not be a chance to give all of the people an opportunity to meet her at the regular performances. So h.e has accommodatingly arranged for the boys and girls to meet her this morning at a special children's matinee. Now, isn't this fine?
