Help protect your skin against intestinal waste poisons Ridiculed and shunned because of ugly, pimple-blemished skin? Get right at a common cause of the trouble — guard against intestinal waste poisons. Between 13 and 25, the skin is apt to be oversensitive. At the same time, poor digestion and elimination often throw waste poisons into the blood stream . . . that may be carried to the skin and cause repulsive, ugly pimples to break out. Many young people help solve this problem — simply by eating Fleischmann's Yeast. Each cake of this famous fresh food helps eliminate intestinal waste poisons from your body before they can get into the blood stream . . . and so gives your pimples a chance to clear up. Don't run the risk of permanent scars from neglected pimples. Start eating Fleischmann's Yeast now — 3 cakes daily — one cakeVi hour before each meal. Begin now! bunch of crooks. Surprise, surprise, the horsey winsl (Sept.) SWISS MISS-Hal Roach-M-G-M Laurel and Hardy return to the screen in a picture very reminiscent of ye old Mack Sennett days. The boys are mousetrap salesmen who journey to Switzerland, meet Delia Lind who is in love with composer Walter Woolf King. The singing is pleasant but doesn't save you from the doldrums. (Aug.) * TEXANS, The— Paramount The marvelous hokum ot Indian raids, stampedes, blizzards and dust storms which beset a Texas family on a trek to Kansas with 10,000 head of cattle after the Civil War, is spectacularly effective here Joan Bennett and Randy Scott are too, too dewey-eyed to make their romance exciting but May Robson as the grandma is splendid. (Oct.) • THREE BLIND MICE-20th Century-Fox Loretta Young, Joel McCrea, David Niven. Stuart Erwin and Marjorie Weaver in the prize package of all the recent stories of modern maidens' efforts to bag a rich husband. Maybe you don't admire the type, but you'll find the way they reconcile wealth and love highly amusing. (Aug.) TIME OUT FOR MURDER— 20th Century-Fox (formerly "Meridian 7-1212") The plot revolves around the New Y jrk telephone exchange which gives the correct time. It all fits in with a newsman's idea of who committed what murder when. Michael Whalen is nicely competent as the journalist; Gloria Stuart plays hob witli his heart (Sept.) * TROPIC HOLIDAY-Paramount Musical Mexico — with not a gun-toting revolutionary in sight. Ray Milland is the screwy Hollywood writer looking for a screen romance; love comes in real life through Dorothy Lamour. Tito Guizar's songs, the Ensenada Singers, the comedy of Bob Burns and Martha Raye — all are elegant. (Aug.) WHEN WERE YOU B0RN?-Warners Anna May Wong manages to solve the murder of James Stephenson by analysing the horoscopes of the suspects. At this point the action in the picture lies down and dies — but if you want to check on your own astrological character (who doesn't?) you might like this novelty. (Aug.) + WHITE BANNERS-Warners Lloyd Douglas' story of renunciation, stuffed with preachments, but the fine acting of Fay Bainter and Jackie Cooper will enthrall you. Fay is the good Samaritan who takes over a professor's run-down household, brings Jackie through the pangs of lazy adolescence, eggs Claude Rains on to bigger and better inventions. Worthwhile. (Aug.) WIVES UNDER SUSPICION-Universal Gail Patrick is the wife under fire; WarrenWilliam her obstinate district attorney husband who discovers in his own home an exact parallel of a situation which drove Ralph Morgan to murder. The cast is fine, the material stodgy. (Sept.) • WOMAN AGAINST W0MAN-M-G-M Herbert Marshall, Virginia Bruce and Mary Astor form a sophisticated and charming trio in this modern tale of divorce and remarriage. Its setting is a small town, always good opportunity for homely comedy and recognizable happenings. Juanita Quigley is the child torn between devotion to both parents. (Sept.) * YELLOW JACK-M-G-M A really important picture, intelligently directed and beautifully acted, describing the work done by doctors to fight yellow fever in post-Spanish-War Cuba. Bob Montgomery is the soldier who risks his life for scientific research. Virginia Bruce, Lewis Stone, Alan Curtis and others are admirable support (Aug.) YOU AND ME— Paramount You have seen both Sylvia Sidney and George Raft hounded by the law too many times to find any freshness in this story of two paroled convicts who marry each other. George backslides to his old gang, is brought up short by the little woman. Peerless photography, but little else. (Aug.)
