20 Picture Show, February 19th, 1921. FAT THAT SHOWS SOON DISAPPEARS Prominent fat that comes and stays where it is not needed is a burden; a hindrance to activity and a curb upon pleasure. Many forms of advice to reduce weight have been advanced, such as starvation dieting, dangerous drugs, excessive exercise, etc., all of which are either unpleasant o; dangerous. The latest, most modern, and pleasant way to tak'e off burdensome fat is to take after each meal and at bedtime an oil of onlene capsule and follow simple healthful rules of living. To get rid of fat at the rate of one, two, or three pounds a week, take these agreeable-tasting little capsules daily, as mentioned, until you weigh what you should. No wrinkles will remain to show where the fat came off. Oil of orilene capsules are for sale by all chemists at 3/ per packet. If you prefer to have them come to you direct, post-free, send the amount to the D. J. Little Co., 37, Hatton Garden, London, E.C.I, and bid good-bye to excessive fat.

THIS fascinating comedy queen as a chorus girl — and a very hardworking one, too. A rich admirer helps her to become a star, and after her triumph offers her marriage, but as she dislikes him she runs away and takes refuge in a house kept by three bachelors. They take her in, and the way in which she turns the home and opinions topsy-turvy and eventually finds true love, makes most uproarious fun on the screen. The delightful star in her best vein. " The Sleeping Lion." Monroe1 Salisbury. • (Phillips.) THERE is plenty of action in this photo-play and many poignant moments. The hero is an Italian plaster cast seller in New York, who befriends a little waif. The two go to the West, and with his savings the hero buys a. ranch, and in a short time becomes a regular rancher. He makes an enemy on arrival at the saloon, who does his utmost Jo injure him, but after many tips and downs the hero gains the day and marries the girl he loves. Should be very popular with the majority of picturegoers. "Fair and Warmer." May Allison. (Jury's.) THE screen version of the play Which was such a great success in London and New York. One of the most laughable stories seen on the screen with dainty May Allison as " Blanny " Wheeks. he turns Prohibitionist, and is asked to stand for Congress. Then comes a great surprise, and the hero has to make a hustling decision. Sparkling entertainment, bubbling over with clean fun. ' The Hundredth Chance." and Dennis Neilson Terry. The Admirable Crichton. Cast. (Paramount Artcraft.) All Star BARBIE'S world-famous plav produced on the screen by Cecil B. De Mille and played by an all-star cast, among whom Thomas Meighan and Gloria Swanson shine in particular. An aristocratic family and servants are thrown on a desert isle, and the one-time butler, Crichton, becomes master of the party, while the daughter of Lord Loam finds herself in love with him. A super-production which should be seen by all. "The Six Best Cellars." Bryant Wash, burn. (ParamountArtcraft.) Mary Glynn e (Stoll.) ■ ETHEL M. DELL'S popular novel as a screenplay. It shows how a man took a bis chance with love and won in the end after much sorrow. The story provides many intense • moments and leads up to a great crisis. Beautful English scenery. A first-class production. "Tin Pan Alley." Albert Ray and Elin4b Fair. (Fox.) THE screen favourites in a delightful story. It tells of a factory lad who became a song-writer through the inspiration of a little shop girl. He, however, gets caught in the whirl of stage life and forgets his little sweetheart until the time comes when he is down and out — then he makes the greatest song-hit of his life. Excellent in every way — a romance that all will enjoy. "The Very Idea." Taylor Holmes. {f. B. 0.) THE successful stage-play with that most resourceful fun-maker, Taylor Holmes, as the husband who thought of -' the very idea." ' Glorious scenes from Palm Beach are introduced. The picture moves rapidly from the first act — there is a laugh in every scene. Excellent. "Riders of Vengeance." Harry Casey. (Butchers). ONE of those Western plays in which Harry. Carey, as " Cheyenne Harry," is so popular. Though this is a strong dramatic play there are many human and light touches m-" separable from this star's work. Seena Owen plays the heroine with much grace and power. A lite-long feud between two families Supplies the plot for this story, which is cleverly worked out to a happy ending. Excellent. " The Black Sheep." Marguerite Hi w he, George Kjsene, Eve Balfour. (Bn/tckers.) ANOTHER novel adapted to the screen, this time by Ruby M. Ayros. This story is full of surprises. It shows the reformation of the black sheep of the family, and how a calculating woman endeavoured to ruin his happiness. Excellent British acting.
