81 Earl E. Liederman as he is today Gee! But It's Great To Be Healthy! Up in the morning brimming with pep. Eat like a kid and off for the day's work feeling like a race horse. You don't care how much work awaits you. for that's what you crave — hard work and plenty of And when the day is over, are you tired? I should say not. Those days are gone forever. That's the way a strong, healthy man acts. His broad chest breathes deep with oxygen purifying his blood so that his very body tingles with life. His brain is clear and his eyes sparkle. He has a spring to his step and a confidence to tackle anything at any time. Pity the Weakling Don't you feel sorry for those poor fellows dragging along through life with a neglected body? They are up and around a full half hour in the morning before they are half awake. They taste a bit of food and call it a breakfast. Shuffle off to work and drag through the day. It's no wonder so few of them ever succeed. Nobody wants a dead one hanging around. It's the live ones that count. Strength Is Yours Wake up fellows and look the facts in the face. It's up to you right now. What do you plan to be — a live one or a dead one? Health and strength are yours if you'll work for them, so why choose a life of suffering and failure? Exercise will do it. By that I mean the right kind of exercise. Yes. your body needs it just as much as it does food. If you don't get it you soon develop into a flat-chested, narrow-shouldered weakling with a brain that needs all kinds of stimulants and foolish treatments to make it act. I know what I am talking about. I haven't devoted all these years for nothing. Come to me and give me the facts and I'll transform that body of yours so you won't know it. I will broaden your shoulders, fill out your chest, and give you the arms and legs of a real man. Meanwhile. I work on the muscles in and around your vital organs, making your heart pump rich, pure blood and putting real pep in your old backbone. This is no idle talk. I don't promise these things — I guarantee them. If you doubt me, come on and make me prove it. That's what I like. Send for My New 64-Page Book "MUSCULAR DEVELOPMENT" It contains forty-three full-page photographs of myself and some of the many prize-winning pupils I have trained.

LIEDERMAN Dept. 2111, 305 Broadway, New York City EA RLE E. LIEDERMAN Dept. 2111, 305 Broadway, New York City Bear Sir: — I enclose herewith 10 cents, for which you are to send me. without any obligation on my part whatever, a copy of your latest book. "Muscular Development." (Please write or print plainly.) Name Street City State The New Screenplays in Review (Continued from page 44) satire. It is the first time on record that the screen has laughed at itself. Cruze here proves > his. metal as a director — and makes me doubt whether The Covered Wagon was such a chance hit after all. Come to think of it, didnlt Cruze, make that gem, One Glorious Day? Hollywood has humor and a tear or two, along with, a joyous sense of the fantastic. Cruze has inserted a delightfully " mad dream into Hollywood that is better than anything I have ever glimpsed. This makes me long for him to adventure into Alice in Wonderland. Minor Films of Month T here were other pictures of the month, but they weren't so much. Gloria Swanson's Bluebeard's Eighth Wife is a bad celluloid adaptation of what was once a fairly piquant French farce. In its present form it won't take Will Hays' mind away from his dear statistics for a moment. The story is drivel in its present form and Miss Swanson, without disclosing anything new histrionically, does reveal some bad taste in gowns. Priscilla Dean's Drifting, based upon John Colton's stage play done originally by Alice Brady, also is massacred to make a Hays holiday. Cassie Cook was a lady of moral versatility in the original stage play but here she is a little virgin who engaged in the opium traffic. At least we guessed it was opium. The sub-titles referred to the stuff as it most of the time, being as reticent as a bootlegger discussing his stock over the telephone. The story is in a fearful jumble but, from what I could gather, Miss Dean was having a terrible time, pursued by Chinese hill folk, through the permanent sets on the Universal lot. A desperate time, indeed, but Miss Dean never upset her perfect coiffure. Such acting as exists in Drifting is contributed by Anna Mae Wong. I can hardly comment coherently upon Goldwyn's production of Red Lights, once called The Rear Car when it was a stage play by Edward Rose. This is one of those dreadful mystery melodramas, worse than Griffith's One Exciting Night. Much worse, indeed. Burlesque titles might do something for it. As it is, Red Lights is awful.
