Fairbanks Has
Actors Speak,;
Better Films

In wild and Woolly," the newest
Douglas Fairbanks picture to be shown
at the Empress commencing Monday,
the popular cinema star introduces a
new method of photography produc-
ton in his organization. Contrary to
the general rule of mumblng words
that have no immediate bearing on the
action of the scene. Douglas recently
instituted the idea of rehearsing the
scenario just as though it was being
prepared for the speaking stage. In
producing this picture the various
members of the cast spoke the lines
of the action with the same dramatic
endeavor in the way of articulation, as
they would for a stage production OF
the Bclasco calibre.
1t is the contention of Mr., Fairbanks
that in this way an actor. fully realiz-
ing the relationship of his part to the
development of the story. can do his
work with a great deal more feeling
and appreciation. than If he were
merely told what was expected of him
from scene to scene.

GET NEW KIDNEYS

The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body. and when
they fail il. tneir work of filtcring out
aud throwing off the poisons developed
in the system things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or
stiffness in the lower part of the back;
highly col0k>d urine; loss of appetite;
tndigestiOn: irritation, or even stone in
the bladder. These symptoms indicate
a condition that may lead to that
dreaded and fatal malady, Bright's
disease, for which there is said to be
no cure.
You can almost certainly find imme-
diate relief in GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil Capsules. For more than 200 years
this famous preparation has been an
unfailing remedy for all kidney blad-
der and urinary troubles. Get 1t at any
drug store. and If it does not give YOU
almost immediate relief. your money
will be refunded BE sure you get the
GOLD MEDAL brand. None other gem
