I WILL TELL YOU FREE HOW YOUR WEIGHT I was just a strong young woman, full of life and vigour.but fond ty of good things to eat, enjoying life to its fullest extent, when suddenly my weight began to increase, and, strong as I was, I began to feel the burden, especially as I am a business woman and have plenty of work to do. I was filled with t\ »> I consternation, because I knew that I must give up business or reduce my weight. One day an inspiration came to me, after 1 had spent time, money, and patience in \ .1111 efforts to become slim again. I acted upon this inspiration, and succeeded, for 36 lbs. of ponderous weight vanished in five weeks. I did not use drugs. practice tiresome exercises, starvation diet, or wear any appliances, bin reduced myself by a simple home, method, .mil my health is as good .is 1 can wish. You could reduce your weight the Fame as 1 have done, and I will tell you how, free, if you wili enclose two penny stamps to pay postage, — \V. Grace Hartl.uid. Dcpl .-oo. Diamond House Hatton Garden, London, v. C.i. NO SUBSTITUTE or FANCY FLOUR has ever equilled BOR WICK'S BAKING POWDER for giving the best results in home baking. The Picfvrepver /""""haplin's new picture has been ^ definitely decided on at last. He will make The Dandy, in which the comedy element will be predominant throughout. The great comedian says that he thinks the public like him best as a laugh-provoker, so he is going to forego serious interludes in this film. T lis brother Sid is at work on a new Gaumont comedy, Nightie Night, Nurse, in which he has a role of the same type as that which he played in Charley's Aunt. Recently he met with a slight accident when, in the course of the film, he had to dive from the Coronade ferry. He struck some submerged piles and was temporarily stunned. YY/e heard a very amusing story from v Dorothy Gish, down at the Lasky Studios, Poole Street, where she is still working on the title role of Nell Gwynne. Mrs. Gish, who is over here with her daughter, spends nearly all her time at the studio, watching and advising her. She was sitting on the edge of the set as usual, while Dorothy went through a scene before the camera, when she leaned forward and remarked in a stage whisper to a friend close beside her : " Do go and tell Dorothy to put her shoulders back!" So you see, even the great ones of the earth are only human after all! r\orothy told us that Lillian has just *^ finished work as " Mimi " in the film version of the famous opera La Boheme, with John Gilbert in the DECEMBER 1925 romantic role of " Rudolph." She said that her sister will probably go over to Germany later and make Faust, but the latest news from the Ufa Studios over there is that this film has already been started, with Gosta Ekman in the title role. V/ou will be sorry to hear that Theodore Roberts, the well-known character actor, has just lost his wife. He, himself is in very poor health, and has only been able to make very infrequent screen appearances lately. His wife, who was professionally known as Florence Smythe, nursed him all through his illness and died quite suddenly of heart failure. """The news that great care is to be taken over the choice of an actor to take the name part in Kim is welcome. Maud Adams, the famous American actress, and John Meador are over here making arrangements for the filming of this, and it is probable that Rudyard Kipling will be asked to choose from screen tests in the same way that Barrie selected for Peter Pan. HThe film version of Barrie's Kiss For Cinderella has just been completed at Paramount Studios, and will be shown in New York for Christmas. The date for its premiere showing over here hasn't been fixed yet, but it should be over early in the New Year. Betty Bronson is " Cinderella," Tom Moore is the policeman, and Herbert Brenon directs, so it should be worth seeing, especially as Barrie himself has supervised the arrangement of the scenario.
