Motion Picture Classic (Jan-Jun 1929)

From Stew to Studio {Continued from page jj) Joe and this here is my sister Mary,' says Joe. 'We just got in from driving acrost the country in a Ford.' I looked at her and thought to myself, ' Gee, that pretty girl his sister? Joe, he 's good hearted but he 's got an awful plain mug. 'What can you give us that's cheap, Dolly?' says Joe. 'Cause we ain't got much money.' Well, there was a lot of chicken left over that wouldn't keep till tomorrer, so I gives it to them for the same price as the regular dinner — fifiy cents, including drink and dessert. Too Wee for Waiting WHILE they are eating, Joe and Mary talk real low, then he beckons me over. 'How about Mary getting a job waiting on table here?' says Joe. 'Gwan,' I says, "she's too little.' Waiting on table is hard work; you got to be like me and have the feet for it. But he insisted, so I says I 'd ask the boss. And the boss said all right she could come tomorrow evening. He'd had a look at her, too. "I took to Mary right off. So I says to her, ' I got a room down here a ways. 'Tisn't a swell dump, but it's a place you could flop. Why not come in with me till you get ahead a little?' But she said no, they had friends in town. I made a date with Joe to take him to a place where he could buy an apron for Mary cheap the next day. We got the smallest waist-size they had at the Dollar Store, and at that when she come in at night and put it on, it was a mile too big. "Well, sir, she took to waiting like she was born with a tray in her hand. Joe, the barber, says to me, 'Dolly, who's the new girl? She's some looker. >Iake a date for me, will you?' 'What 'II you have for dessert, pie, ice cream or pudding?' Mary asks 'em. She doesn't jolly 'em along like the rest of we girls, but she had everybody in the rest 'runt looking at her. Then all of a sudden she runs outdoors without even taking off her apron. I thought that was kinda funny, but she was green. So I says to myself, 'Hope she don't lose her job.' " Next day she dicln 't show up. The boss beckoned me over by'n bye. 'Dolly,' says he, 'you're too friendly with everybody. You'll get yourself into trouble some day. Do you know who that girl was waited on table last night? She was a hold-up girl, or somepin.' Seems when Mary ran out like that the boss had gone to the window and seen a big gang of men waiting for her outside. They was friends from the Fox studio, come to jolly her, but of course he didn't know that. ' I 've got detectives on her track'; says the boss — who is an awful suspicious feller anyhow — 'She probably meant to rob the place,' says the boss. Joe's Phoney Stall "npHAT same c\-ening Joe called me up. I 'Where's .Mary?' I asks, real low so thcDoss couldn't hear me. 'Oh, she's at a hotel,' says Joe. 'How come?' I says, 'if she's so hard up?' 'Oh, it's like this,' says Joe. 'We — w-e found some money last night, see? Yes, sir, picked it up on the street, see?' I thinks to myself, they've held sfjmebofly up and frisked his roll. 1 was worried about Mary, because she seemed awful young and little to have detectives after her. I says, 'Joe, where is she now? I'm coming over as soon as I'm finished tonight.' ".Mary was in an awful swell hotel. The furniture was grand. 'You must be paying much as seven or eight dollars a day for this', 1 says to her. 'You better come away with me now. We'll go to Frisco till this blows over,' I says. But she just laughed. " Next day I get a letter at the rest 'runt (Conlinued on page 79) Win $3,500.00 Here's news for puzzle fans! C. "W. Franris, A. F.

Think what millions have gained in youth and beauty, health and vigor by that change. A great factor has been a discovery made i^ some 25 years ago. ; Medical research found ^^^.1 a cause of excess fat. It j--^' lies in weakness of a gland which largely controls nutrition. Too much of the food goes to fat. Modern physicians in treating obesity now feed that gland substance. And that is the main factor embodied in Marmola prescription tablets. Marmola was perfected by a famous medical laboratory. Its chief factor is a gland food. People have used it for over 20 years — millions of boxes of it. Users have told the results to others — the loss in weight, the gain in health and vigor. Thus, year by MARMOLA year, the use has grown to very large proportions. In the past year alone it has doubled. The results are seen everywhere. Excess fat has been banished to a large degree. Every box of Marmola contains the formula, also the scientific reasons for results. When fat departs and new vigor comes, you know exactly why. No hard work, no starvation. Just take four tablets daily until weight comes down to normal. Try this method which for over 20 years has brought new joys to so many. You owe that to yourself. Watch the gradual loss of fat. Enjoy the new energy that comes. You will be delighted. Don'c wait longer. Get Marmola now. Marmola prescription tablets are sold by all druggists at $1 per box.
