AMOTION piCrUBF Bl I MAGAZINE. _U I "Don't cry, dear— I know the way to clear your skin" "M "Y doctor has often said that almost any woman can have a clear, soft, even radiant complexion, if she will only obey a certain law of hygiene. "Your skin is poor because you have disregarded that law. Mine was too, until I observed the law; and ever since, it has been clear and fine. "It seems that woman's besetting trouble — clogged intestines — is largely responsible for a poor skin. When the food waste is not regularly and thoroughly eliminated, poisons form, which the blood absorbs and carries to the millions of tiny body cells. These poisons are the most common cause of skin troubles. Blotchiness,eruptions,sallowness, are some of the results. "And not only the skin shows the effects of this poisoning — the hair becomes dry and brittle, the eyes are dull, and you lack animation and life. "My doctor told me that what most women with poor complexions need is Nujol, which induces the good habit of regular, daily evacuations. "Instead of irritating or forcing the system, Nujol simply softens the food waste. This helps all those tiny muscles in the intestinal walls, contracting and expanding in their normal way, to squeeze the food waste along so that it passes naturally out of the system. "And one of the things you will like about Nujol is that it is absolutely harmless and pleasant to take. It works without causing griping, or nausea, and does not interfere with the day's work or play. "Buy a bottle of Nujol, my dear, and take it regularly. It assures internal cleanliness, the only secret of a good complexion." Nujol REG. U.sT^^PAT. OFF Nujol is sold by all druggists in sealed bottles only, bearing the Nujol trade mark.

Garter," which is so highly improbable that even her beauty can do nothing to aid it. This young woman could be one of the best bets of today, and where is she? I should like to see very much more of Betty Blythe, that regal young person too, but I just read she is to do "The Queen of Sheba" ... rot ! emulating Theda Bara ? In all the sane common sense pictures, Will Rogers has his place, he is fine; and he isn't an acquired taste with me. His leading woman, Irene Rich, is so utterly charming, that words fail me, she's a regular girl. I cannot say that I care for Mae Murray, there is something about her portrayal of the sophisticated person that repulses me. So, despite the splendid direction of "On With the Dance," the picture fell flat with me. Of Corrinne Griffith, I never have enough, and if ever there was a woman who can wear clothes better than Gloria Swanson, here is one. I should like to see her under the direction of de Mille, Cecil. Edythe Chapman and George Fawcett are two of the older folk I love to see, they are so genuine. Also, may I add my bit of admiration for "Humoresque." I am still awed by it. Apropos of this, is Gaston Glass; he's a very fine young actor, and I should like to see more of him. I saw "So Long Letty," and am still laughing over T. Roy Barnes. He's the most amusing of the amusing, and I hereby nominate him Comedian-supreme. Subtle stuff that. I suppose we may say a few words anent the passing of the stars, Mr. and Mrs. Chaplin. They are gone their various ways to stay. There will not be many tears shed, I warrant. To the authors of the pinks and blues I want to say this, I enjoyed reading your letters, and of course, you all understand, it's in the game of Better Moving Pictures. Yours very sincerely, Jule D. Stolz. 41 McKinley Place, West New York, NJ. 84 Afifi Mr. Griffith has said that the mental age of the average moving picture audience is nine years. Perhaps that accounts for some of the rather surprising decisions made in the Popularity Contest. As a matter of fact, the movies could not exist without the support of the very young, who form the bulk of its admirers and followers. Could one expect their judgment to be infallible? We received a letter today from a boy of seventeen from the far West, whose hero was Tom Mix. He gave his reasons for thinking him the greatest of screen actors. They were these : "He wears good clothes, rides welltrained horses and decorated saddles." Dear Editor : — I hope some time soon you are planning to have one of your experts prepare us an article on the psychology of "Popularity Contests." In each number of your magazine the varying lists published are a constant source of interest and joy — sometimes of dismay. And in spite of earnest thought on the matter, I find myself frequently at loss to correlate the results to my satisfaction. What sort of people send in votes ? What are their standards, and why? And what is the ultimate value of it all, to motion pictures ? I have been a constant and consistent fan since the early days of the photoplay, and I
