96 French Woman Tellsffowto Get Thin Without Drugs, Diets, Absurd Creams, Exercises or Appliances l reduced my own weight 50 pounds in less than 9 weeks and at the same time marvelously improved my general health r^ScXN and appearance. Today I « ^-'N 'look, act and feel far younger than my real age. From the results in my own case and those of my friends, I am absolutely convinced that any man or woman burdened with rolls of ugly, injurious, unwholesome fat can take it off easily, quickly and surely by the same simple way which did so much for me. The secret is one I learned in Paris, where women of every age pride themselves on keeping their figures slender and graceful, and where the men detest a heavy waistline or double chin. With this simple new way, which will only cost you a few rents a day to follow, you can in your own home reduce all parts of your body, or you can simply get rid of excess flesh from the places where it shows. No matter how fat you are or what you have done in the past to reduce. I want you to send me The Free Coupon Below and I will explain to you confidentially what to do to reduce.

ARTEX COMPANY »33 Broadway Dept. 30 New York City M, SCREENLANB ^Gossip of Hollywood and New York — From page 80 The Listening Post other day. The dog, tired from his romping with the children of the neighborhood, lay panting on the lawn before the house of Mrs. Niblo's mother, Mrs. N. L. Bennett. A man passed. The children say that Monroe did not move from his position, but merely perked up his ears. The man drew a revolver and wantonly shot the beautiful dog. Enid Bennett ran out and discovered her pet lying with his hind leg shattered. The dog was rushed to a veterinarian, and the leg was amputated, but so much blood had been lost that as this is written, the dog is believed to be dying. Anyone who has ever loved a dog, and especially as loving and friendly a dog as a collie, will sympathize with the Niblos' grief and indignation. Cj peaking of Lilies of the Field, I wonder if pauline Garon will be engaged for the role she played in the stage version. It was Pauline's entry to Broadway and to her subsequent career in *he movies. Xll the blowdown of ancient Roman society will be cut loose in Messalina, an Italian film which has been brought to this country by a hopeful company. If Messalina can beat any of the local Sins of the Flappers, the Italian company has a knock-out. onroe, the beautiful and well-loved collie belonging to Fred Niblo and his wife Enid Bennett, was shot by a stranger the Hollywood's Mysterious Jinx — From page // The Hoodoo House ^igrid Holmquist took over the house on the hillside — and the ill fortune. Sigrid, named the "Swedish Mary Pickford" though her resemblance, in feature or temperament, to America's Sweetheart cannot be discerned readily, felt the heavy hand of misfortune immediately. One evening she stood on her porch, bidding good-bye to a parting guest. Sigrid is blonde, and is about the same height as Mary Miles Minter. Vines shrouded the verandah. Suddenly a shot rang out, then another. Was the shot intended for Sigrid Holmquist? Or was it meant for Mary Miles Minter? Hollywood never found out. Frightened, Sigrid moved away from that house of ill omen. And in a few days a bride and groom came to live there. James Kirkwood and his young bride, Lila Lee, scoffed at superstition. Their happiness would take the curse off the place, they doubtless thought. But within a fortnight after they were married, Tames Kirkwood was thrown from his horse. His skull was fractured, and for days he was believed to be at death's door. But the surgeon's skill and the devotion of his young wife saved him. But their misfortunes were not yet over. The sinister influence of the house on the hillside still had troubles in store for them. Lila Lee was shocked to hear one day that her foster-father was "wanted" by the authorities, on an embezzlement charge. Poor little Lila, one of the sweetest and finest girls in Hollywood, was subjected to all sorts of unpleasant publicity, through no fault of her own. Who will be the next victim of Hollywood's "hoodoo house?" Quien sabe? {fl^ Mr. Nathan Reviews the New Plays — From page 69 Dramaknd with Colonel Hamilton, D.S.O., that we Americans in the Spanish-American war were fighting against gentlemen but, in view of the fact that the odds in advance were something like one thousand to one in the favor of us Americans, one may privilege one's self some speculation as to the opinion that the Spaniards hold in the matter. Molnar's Sophisticated Sentiment M olnar's The Swan is Meyer Foerster's Old Heidelberg by a dramatist who has preferred to view the theme through the mind rather than through the heart. The result, as is often the case in such instances, is a play doubly convincing in its sentiment. Not in some time has the popular theatre enjoyed so persuasive a mixture of sentiment and sophistication. Here we have substantial charm: the silk of a sagacious heart in place of the cheesecloth of the more usual quack heart. The production of the play cannot be spoken of too highly. It is as sharply intelligent
