Advertising Section 115 roy in "Driven" remain in my memory as the finest work I have ever witnessed on the screen. Each was a supremely adroit and cleverly sustained characterization, so vitally clone that it held my attention riveted throughout the projection of the picture. Buster Collier. My ambition to become a director some day is obvious when I discuss pictures, for I invariably consider direction rather than individual performances. Perhaps the past is haloed with glamour in our memories, but anyway I love most certain pictures made four or five years ago. "The Miracle Man," for example, was so beautifully directed and acted. Until he died, my greatest dream was to be directed by George Loane Tucker. The most interesting picture I have seen lately was "A Woman of Paris." "East is West," with Constance Talmadge, I think is an excellent example of light comedy, the best of its type I have ever seen. "The Three Musketeers" lives high in my memory. This is a man's picture — vital, definite, colorful. I am devoted to the work of Richard Barthelmess, but I prefer Dick's old pictures, particularly "Tol'able David" and "Broken Blossoms." "Big Brother" and "He Who Gets Slapped" were models of expert direction, and the photography and acting of "He" were particularly noteworthy. "Secrets" is another favorite because of Miss Talmadge's inspired portrayal. Edmund Lowe. "The Iron Horse" I thought the greatest of pictures shown us recently, principally because of its epic theme. Also, because of its breadth and scope, its glorious backgrounds. _ "Peter Pan" appealed to me because of its whimsical qualities. I list "Romola" as another picture that afforded me genuine pleasure. While it had not all of the ingredients necessary to box-office success, it had some wonderful acting and near-perfect direction. Always an admirer of the Gish sisters, I found them more lovely than ever in "Romola." Malcolm MacGregor. I consider entertainment qualities primarily and play no favorites as to type or locale. "The Devil's Cargo," first, then "Greed" and "Husbands and Lovers." Each pleased me in a -different wa}'. Lewis Stone, in my opinion, is one of the finest actors on the screen — if not the very best of them all — and his characterization m "Husbands and Lovers" heads my list as the most skilled and delightful portrayal of the past season. Florence Vidor. I feel no hesitation in naming "The Covered Wagon," "He Who Gets Slapped," and "Deception" as three pictures that appealed to me as being very worth while. _ All were well directed, and the acting in each was the acme of artistry. Betty Bronson. _ I'm simply wild about the movies, even if I am playing important roles in them now myself, with everybody so wonderful to me and all. I thought "Little Old New York" the sweetest thing. I saw it four times, and I just loved every scene Marion Davies did. And I got the biggest thrill out of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." It was so dramatic and sort of spooky ! the ENEMY that is shortening %ar life 1 FREE Personal Mail Consulting Service by Dr. Graham's Staff Any person takingNeutroids may feel free tot call at the Sanitarium or write Dr. Graham confidentially. DANGER GUARANTEED HARMLESS By Neutroids— Dr. Graham's Famous Prescription Superfluous fat over-burdens the heart and weakens the lungs, kidneys, stomach and other organs. Stout people are easy victims of pneumonia. Trivial maladies, such as ptomaine poisoning or bronchial infections, often bring sudden death to stout people, while such a thing is rare when slender people are similarly affected.

By JAMES FELLOM Price, $2.00 Once to every man is given the opportunity to shape his rough-hewn life and to make it a thing of utility and worth. This much is famed in song and story, but not so much has been written about the opportunities of the man who has made life a failure, to reform and be somebody really worth while. Billy Gee, in this splendid Western story, becomes somebody worth while, but not until he has made the reader hold his breath time and time again. The lives of the people in the great American desert are depicted with a clarity that is really startling — so startling", in fact, that after reading this story, Zane Grey, who is an authority on Western stories, if any one in this country can claim to be, sent Mr. Fellom a personal letter of congratulation. ''I think you have written a darn good book, and I congratulate you. There are so many Western books and so few have ideals. I hope yours has the good sale it deserves." CHELSEA? T9~89 Seventh Qre.
