NEW CONSUMPTION
CURE SUCCESSFUL

Philadelphia, Sept. 25.-Physi-
clans who have spent years in the
study Of tuberculosis declared today
at the closing session of the seventh
annual meeting of the American AS
sociation Of Clinical Research, at the
Hahnemann medical college, that the
cure evolved by DR.. Jefferson d. Glib
son Of Denver, Col, retiring president
of the association, is one that in 10
years ought to place tuberculosis
among the relatively nonfatal dis
eases.
DR.. Gibson mentioned the cure in
his address opening the meeting on
Thursday and described it in detail
in paper at today's session. 1t pro-
vides a cure by adding X-rays, ozone
and static electricity to the climatic
and dietetic treatment now common
in tuberculosis hospitals.
By this method, he claims, the
presence of the disease can be detect
ed in healthy, robust persons even
before the we'll known symptoms be-
gin to form and cures can be effected
in advanced cases in remarkably
short time.
In his paper today DR.. Gibson said:
1T might seem that / have allowed
my enthusiasm to run away with me
in studying this cure, but l think
feeling of qualification at least, is JUS
titled when / say that out of 757 cases
thus treated there have been only 81
deaths.
II wish to state now with emphasis
that the X-ray will finally bring about
the emancipation Of the human race
from this dreadful scourge. In few
years when the method is better de-
veloped it will be a disgrace for a
physician to allow case of tubercu-
losis of any kind to progress to an ad-
vanced stage, because the X-rays
even now find the incipient tenden-
cies, even before the symptoms begin
to form"
! The following officers were elected:
President, DR.. Coleman, New York,
first vice president, Dr. William Snow
New York; second vice president, DR..
Leon T. Ashcraft, Philadelphia.
DR.. Krauss of Boston is the secre-
tary.

One afternoon a stranger debarked

First icture Exper-
iencein Commuters

Il have just finished my initial ex-
perience as motion picture actress"
confesses pretty Irene Fenwick who
plays "Hetty" in George Kleines film
version of the famous James Forbes
comedy, "The Commuters" "And
the experience was certainly unique.
Acting for moving pictures should be
incorporated into every course of
training for actors. In no other way
can you see your own mannerisms,
your own characteristics, so we'll
You can see when you are eXagger-
ating and when a bit of work is un-
derdone without taking anyones op-
inion for it but your own. Self-crit-
icism is always the most stringent.
Il think success in picture work
depends more upon personality, on
appealing mannerisms and true act
ing ability than on anything else; and
while real success requires a direct
and forceful telling of the story,
there Is, after all, far more sublety
and delicate delineation in good work
than most observers fancy.
"And it is hard work." continued
Miss Fenwick who is appearing daily
in 1.-THE Song of Songs" at the Ell
tinge Theatre. Particularly hard
on me, with rehearsals every day be-
sides my regular performances. My
only leisure is an hour or two after
the theatre and Sundays. Thank
Heaven for Sunday. That's day of
real rest for me and you can spell
real anyway you like"
"The Commuters" will be on the
screen at the Home theater Friday
and Saturday nights OF this week.
