Kidneys Cause Much Trouble Says Doctor Use Successful Prescription to Clean out Acids and Purify BloodBeware Drastic Drugs Your blood circulates 4 times a minute through 9 million tiny, delicate tubes in your kidneys, which may be endangered by drastic drugs, modern foods and drinks, worry and exposure. Be careful. Dr. Walter R. George, many years Health Commissioner of Indianapolis, Ind., says: "Insufficient Kidney excretions are the cause of much needless suffering with aching back, frequent night risings, itching, smarting, burning, painful joints, rheumatic pains, headaches and a generally run down exhausted body. I am of the opinion that the prescription Cystex corrects a frequent cause of such conditions (Kidney or Bladder dysfunctions). It aids in flushing poisons from the urinary tract and in freeing the blood of retained toxins." If you suffer from functional Kidney and Bladder disorders don't waste a minute. Get the doctor's prescription Cystex (pronounced Siss-tex). Formula in every package. Starts work in 15 minutes. Gently soothes and cleans raw, irritated membranes. It is helping millions of sufferers and is guaranteed to fix you up or money back on return of empty package. Cystex costs only 3c a dose. At all drug stores. Dr. W. R.

LaSalle Street at Madison HOTEL LaSALLECHICACO 66 Continued from page thirty-three The actor was lighted with orange light, the rest of the set with blue light. "The blue light printed the orange positive on the new negative, except where the orange light, reflected from the undarkened trousers, passed freely through the orange positive and printed the image of those spooky pants on the new negative just as though the positive weren't there." Minor variations of this method include making two separate negatives of the two pieces of action and printing them together, and so forth, he explained. He then went on to tell how there really wasn't anybody in the auto robe, which was merelly shaped to suggest the presence of a human body within its folds. "As to the footprints appearing in the snow," he said, "that was really too simple. All they had to do was stop the camera between the appearance of one print and the next, while a man with a die on the end of a pole reached in front of the camera and stamped the trail." A Much Simpler form of "mask" than the one previously described is often used when the nature of the action permits. An excellent example of this appeared in King Kong. "Remember that scene in which the fifty -foot gorilla ape forced its way through a tremendous gate while the natives and explorers ran for their lives? Well, as I dope it out, the entire cast worked in the foreground with scenery that stopped just a few feet above their heads. The top part of the scene, as it appeared in the camera, consisted of a black drape. "Then one frame of the sequence was reproduced on a piece of glass about eleven by fourteen inches, the part where the drape appeared being perfectly transparent, and all the rest of the picture painted an opaque black so that no light could get through it. The top line of the scene was irregular, so it would blend into the complete picture when the job was finished. "The gate the ape came through was built in miniature, and a specially made toy aoe was photographed coming through it. The glass mask kept the trees and people on the negative, which was fed through the camera again to get the new action, from being light-struck when the second exposure was made. The aue and the gate registered on the part of the negative which had no light thrown on it the first time it was put through the camera due to the non-reflecting properties of the black drop." The ape was given apparent life by exposing one frame of film at a time, as when animated cartoons are made. There's another way of making trick shots which is known as the projection process and consists of taking pictures of pictures. You Will Recall The Masquerader in which Ronald Colman played the parts of twin brothers. You saw him as two men, who shook hands with each other and even talked to each other, their voices sometimes even being heard simultaneously when the two characters were together on the screen. "It wasn't done with mirrors, but with a movie projector and a big glass screen," said the trick photographer. "At least that's the way I would have done it. "Remember that close-up, where one of the twins was walking down a flight of stairs when the other one was walking up? The second twin grabbed the first one by the arm, they talked for a while, and then passed each other as each one continued on his way. You actually saw two characters pass each other — and one man was playing both parts. "First we would make a picture of the first twin walking downstairs. Although he was alone, he would stop for a moment, just as though somebody had come up to him and taken his arm. Then he'd say a few words, pause for a carefully timed interval, jerk his arm as though he were shaking off somebody's hand, speak again and walk on downstairs. "We'd take that film, develop it and print it. Then with a very brilliant light we'd project it on a ground glass screen about twenty-five by thirty-five feet, having the projector behind the screen and a camera with some new film in it some distance in front. Between the camera and the screen we'd erect a flight of stairs exactly parallel with those thrown on the screen, and we'd paint them black to avoid reflection. The same actor, perhaps wearing a different costume, would then walk up these black stairs. He would be very carefully George Breakston was an unknown until he was selected for the leading role in Columbia's No Greater Glory. Now the eleven-year-old is hailed as a real "find" HOLLYWOOD
