We wish we could remember the
comic movie from which perhaps two
years and half ago we emerged into
the welcome deconcy Of the Tsnderlcin
at midnight and breathed an air of hot
asphalt, gasolene, dust and cosmetics
that came to Us Ike incarnate ozone
after the crumbling squalor of mummy
smut which for two reels had closed
our lungs. But perhaps the essence of
THIS attempt at amusement was its un-
remembeSableness, its being speci-
men so true TO the cipher type, per-
fect thirty-six of sntediluvian fulfill
ity. What we do remember was the
uiAmatum OF the actress in whose com
pany we had been seeing many "com-
ics" IN search of the usually admirable
acting OF some comedian friends of
ours, acting which had, however. got
washed out to sea and lost in the vast,
senseless tide of bromide and hustle,
OF mothers-in~law and jealous wives
and siren typists and nightshirts and
ogllngs and old maids and fathers kick
Ing suitors and babies held upside
down-real babies, mind you, really
held upside down, really screaming
themselves into commissions, but not
with the screams of joy that convulsed
their audleDces-the whole bowling,
wsllowing mass of vulgarity mixed
with insipidity, in the face of which
rose that ultimatum: well, I've come
to the conclusion that you simply can't
put over comedy on the screen. There
must be some reason why it actually
won't register there"
: We reared like the Carolina rattler
d drew back with a hiss. Not indeed
that we suspected her of attacking the
cosmic farces of the great Charles, for
about him we had already exchanged
condolences ecstatic enough to permit
of our even admitting that, after all,
the further his adventures were kept
away from food the better, we knew
that she referred to the naturalistic
comedy which, either in acting or
scenario, we had long sought in vain.
What we couldn't bear was the es-
sentialness of her accusation and we
made haste to wither it at the root
by inquiring whether she had ever
seen Douglas Fairbanks. What did she
think, for instance, about "The Half
Breed" or Double Trouble" or "His
Picture in the Papers" or "Passin'
Through" Or
YES" she retorted, "but what's hap
pening even to his scenarios lately?
Hes beginning to act as if ne had to
work his way through a gymnasium"
Have the goodness to remember"
OUT picture-loyalty replied that he
has, nevertheless, put over perfect
comedies on the screen. You're not
at liberty to say comedy won't register
on the screen simply because we've got
to say that the public won't support
what ii registers"
But three years dead! Nay, not so
much, no. three! Out Of what limbo
DO we emazedly fish the collapsed
ghost Of such heresy? Which of a
dozen no less than perfect comedies of
this year alone can we look in the eye

expect IS a temporary diScon-
tinuance of the pain, which
promptly returns, and keeps
YOU constantly applying the
local remedies, making no pro-
greSS whatever toward per-
manently Kidding yourself of the
disease.
Why longer continue such
makeshift treatment? Go to
your drugstore today and get
a bottle Of s. s. S., the reliable
blood purifier, and begin
treatment that will prove sat

OF others who were afflicted just
as you have been. S. S. S. has
been used for more than fifty
years. so that YOU are not ex-
perimenting when YOU take it. 1t
will counteract the germs that
attack the skin and its tonic pro-
