Fat Folks Eat Less Than the Thin A Gland Is Weak VERY often we find that fat people eat less than thin people. They are naturally careful in their diet. So it is evident, generally, that something else causes excess fat. There is usually an under-active gland. Modern physicians, in treating obesity, seek to supply the deficiency. The factor they use is embodied in Marmoia prescription tablets. It lafgely explains the results. A book in each box of Marmoia gives the formula and states why it leads to reduction. Marmoia is prepared in a famous medical laboratory, to deal in the right way with excess fat. People have used it for 22 years — millions of boxes of it. They have told the results to others, until people now employ it in a larger way than ever. Do what those people h'^'^e done. Don't starve, don't over-exercise. There is danger in both. Let Marmoia supply the gland factor which is probably too scant. Watch the results for a little while, in lower weight, new health and vitality. Those results will tell you if this is the right way for you. Do this for your own sake, for your family and friends. If your condition is abnormal, correct it. Go try Marmoia now. Marmoia prescription tablets are sold by all druggis..;. at $1 a box. Any druggist who is out will gladly order for you.

MOBY DICK (Warner Brothers) — The Ulkie version of the famous silent picture, The Sea Beast, with John Barrymore in the leading role. Don't miss this wow. MONTANA MOON (M-G-M) — Joan Crawford in a very unconvincing story which, however, is quite entertaining and worth your time. Joan sings in this picture and her voice is fascinating. NIGHT WORK (Pathi) — Reviewed in this issue. NUMBERED MEN (First National) — Another story of prison life which is rather overdrawn and far from convincing. OLD ENGLISH (Warner Brothers) — Reviewed in this issue. ON THE LEVEL (Fox) — Victor McLaglen and Fifi Dorsay in an entertaining picture. ONE NIGHT AT SUSIE'S (First National) — Reviewed in this issue. ONE ROMANTIC NIGHT (United Artists) — Lillian Gish's first talkie taken from the famom p'ay, The Swan. Miss Gish is, as usual, charming. OUR BLUSHING BRIDES (M-G-M) — Joan Crawford in a rather silly story about three girls who work in a department store. Joan spends most of her time mothering the other two. RAFFLES (United Artists) — Reviewed issue. this RAIN OR SHINE talkie debut. (Columbia) — Joe Cook's ROMANCE (M-G M) — A beautiful picture with Greta Garbo playing the lead. She is perfectly 'ovelv and no Garbo fan must miss the sight of her in the exquisite costumes of long ago. THE ROAD TO PARADISE (First National) — Loretta Young in one of those dual role talkies. Good entertainment. ROUGH ROMANCE (Fox) — George O'Brien in a corking melodrama of lumber jacks and what is known as stark emotion. SAFETY IN NUMBERS (Paramount) — Buddy Rogers and three charming youne ladies of the chorus who are entrusted with "educating" him are not very convincing, but they are amusing. THE SAP FROM SYRACUSE (Paramount) — Jack Oakie in a riot of a story in which he pets mixed up in all kinds of trouble and whatnot on a transatlantic liner. THE SEA BAT (M-G-M) — Reviewed in this issue. THE SHADOW OF THE LAW (Paramount) — William Powell in the one about the chap who is innocently convicted of a murder. It's not as bad as it sounds and Powell's performance is, as usual, superb. SHE'S MY WEAKNESS (RKO) — Sue Carol and Arthur Lake in a rather silly story, but entertaining. SHOOTING STRAIGHT (RKO) — Reviewed in this issue. SHOW GIRL IN HOLLYWOOD (First National)— Alice White and J. P. McEvoy get together on a film that's supposed to satirize Hollywood, but it goes serious. Blanche Sweet docs as well as she can in a very overdrawn role. THE SILENT ENEMY (Paramount) — All about the Indians and the caribou, if you know what a caribou is. The Indians find that it isn't the cost of the caribou, it's the upkeep. THE SINGER OF SEVILLE (M-G-M)— Another talkie-singie of Spanish life with Senor Ramon Novarro enacting the leading role. Charming. SO THIS IS LONDON (Fox) — The delightful Mr. Will Rogers in a story that doesn't really matter as long as he's on the set pulling his own gags. All Fox needs to do is to let Mr. Rogers walk on the set and talk for four reels. It would be far cheaper for them and far more entertaining for the audience than putting him in a story where he's wasted. THE SOCIAL LION (Paramount)— In keeping with the title of this picture. Jack oiakie takes another bound in popularity. The story is nothing much but as long as Mr. Oakie's face is on the screen, who cares? SOLDIERS AND WOMEN (Columbia) — A drama of love and intrigue in the United States Army. Two married women are in love with a handsome young officer. Entertaining. SONG O' MY HEART Cfox;— John McCormack's first talkie, which you'll do well not to miss. SONG OF THE SADDLE rt;mycrs<f/> — Reviewed in this issue. SPURS (Universal) — Reviewed in this issue. THE STORM f^t/nivcrjo/) — The old play and the old silent movie in talkie form with Lupe Vclez as the harum-scarum leading lady. Entertaining. STRICTLY MODERN (First National) — Dorothy Mackaill in one of those roles in which she hates men until . There's some darn clever dialogue which will have you a-giggling and a-laughing. SUCH MEN ARE DANGEROUS (Fox) — Warner Baxter in Elinor Glyn's picture based on the stor>' of the great financier's, Lowenstein's disappearance. Entertaining. SWEETHEARTS AND WIVES (First National) — A sort of mystery story with Clive Brook and Billie Dove in the leading roles. Good entertainment. SWEETHEARTS ON PARADE (Columbia) — Reviewed in this issue. SWEET MAMA (First National) — Here's Alice White again in a story of cabarets, no less. Well, well. David Manners does very well as the young feller who gets mixed up with a gang. Does well, that is, considering he's an Englishman with an Englishman's accent. SWING HIGH (Pathe) — A story of the old time folks of the circus. Being a circus story, it naturally has a familiar ring to it, but, nevertheless, is entertaining. THIS MAD WORLD (M-G-M) — A confusing story about the war and spies and Basil Rathbone. Not so hot. UNDER MONTANA SKIES (Tiffany) ■ neth Harlan in a first rate Western. ■ Ken THE UNHOLY THREE (M-G-M) — Lon Chaney returns to the talkies — beg pardon, enters the talkies — with an .amazing number of voices. Lon is not as convincing as he might be, but the picture is entertaining. THE VAGABOND KING (Paramount) — The famous story of Francois Villon as depicted by Dennis King in the leading role. Except for an occasional touch of over-acting, we've got to hand it to King. THE WAY OF ALL MEN (First National) — Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., in his first starring picture. The talkie version of the old Sin Flood. Very gripping. 'WAY OUT WEST (M-G-M) — Reviewed in this issue. WHAT A WIDOW (United Artists) — Gloria Swanson in a comedy, and a delightful one at that. Another triumph for her. WHAT MEN WANT (Universal) — Modern youth is here again, wi.' Pauline Starke and Ben Lyon depicting iSe niodern youth. WILD COMPANY (Fox) — Modern youth is here still again, this time as the Fo\ company sees them. 98
