If this biie is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You get constipated. Your whole system is poisoned and you feel sour, sunk and the world looks punk. A mere bowel movement doesn't get at the cause. It takes those good, old Carter's Little Liver Pills to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel "up and up." Harmless, gentle, yet amazing in making bile flow freely. Ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills by name. 100 and 25(! at all drug stores. Stubbornly refuse anything else. EXTRA CASH FOR YOUR EXTRA TIME! It's surprising how far a little effort will go. Just drop us a penny post card with your name and address on it and we'll show you how to pick up some of the spare dollars you've been letting slip through your fingers. You can set up your own business with one of the largest publishing companies without investing a single cent. MACFADDEN PUBLICATIONS, INC. 205 E. 42nd St., New York City prison stuff, and a chase. Tom Kennedy and Bruce MacFarlane trot along with the story. (Nov.) UNDER-PUP, THE— Universal Cinema history is made in this with the discovery of a new singing star in the person of eleven-yearold Gloria Jean. The story is a simple one, that of a poor girl who wins a contest and is taken to a rich girls' camp. All the pampered darlings snoot Gloria — except little Virginia Weidler, but Gloria works out her problems with the aid of Billy Gilbert, Kenneth Brown and Billy Lenhart. Nan Grey and Robert Cummings supply romance. See this. (.Nov.) UNEXPECTED FATHER— Universal Reminiscent of Shirley Temple's "Little Miss Broadway," this, with Sandy Henville playing Shirley's role of a child in danger of being put in an institution and vaudeville folk rallying round. Shirley Ross, Dennis O'Keefe and Mischa Auer stooge for the charming Sandy. (Oct.) WAY DOWN SOUTH— Principal— RKORadio Bobby Breen's latest has better interest than its predecessors. Everything happens in Louisiana when Ralph Morgan, playing Bobby's father, is killed and Edwin Maxwell, the attorney, tries to rob the boy of his inheritance. (Oct.) WHEN TOMORROW COMES— Universal Tragedy and trouble stalk Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer in this. It all starts when Charles, a famous pianist, drops into the restaurant where Irene is a waitress. It takes a hurricane to show them that they love one another, but love is not for them. Charles can't desert his irrational wife, Barbara O'Neil. You may like this, if you enjoy suffering in charming company. (Oct.) WOMEN, THE— M-G-M Clare Boothe's Broadway success is a brutal, uncompromising story of the eternal battle of women for males and money. Norma Shearer is excellent as the devoted mother and wife, and Joan Crawford is in there slugging as the hardbitten clerk who uses every feminine wile to catch Norma's husband. The fat part fell to Roz Russell and she made capital of it. Mary Boland and Joan Fontaine are grand. Both sexes will have fun at this. (Nov.) * WIZARD OF OZ, THE— M-G-M This superb fantasy of a little girl transported by cyclone to a magic wonderland is a "must" for children and adults alike. The cast alone — Frank Morgan in the title role, Judy Garland as Dorothy; Bert Lahr, the Cowardly Lion: Ray Bolger, the Scarecrcrw: Jack Haley, the Tin Woodman: Billie Burke, the Good Fairy: and Margaret Hamilton, the Wicked Witch: might have been dreamed into being just for this picture.
