MOVIES AID TO EYES
AFFIRMS DR.. HIRSHBERG

Movies" do not hurt the eyes.
This popular superstition has been
knocked on the head by. DIR. Leonard
Keene Hirshberg. the international
health authority.
As a matter Of fact they help the
eyes. he holds.
Why? Because the focus OF the
eye does not change much while gsz-
ing at a motion picture and the
flicker exercises the eye muscles. In
the latest issues Of the house organ
of Selznick Pictures. he saws:
Reading or sewing en- a moving
train is inadvisable. because the
muscles and lenses Of your eyes must
be constantly changing focus.
I'm the movies the focus changes
but little.
when you make yout exit from a
motion picture theater. you distin-
guish colors much more acura Jelly,
recognize form more sharply and re-
member figures. sizes and other visual
differences better than you did when
you went in.
BE not too quick to blame the
movies for painful eyes. swollen
eyes, Redeemed eyeballs, watery eyes
and styes. Internal disorders may
many times be Justly blamed"

Treux's Mutache
Made Little Man
OaLHle Boy

As the famous Cyrano de
Berger& owes no mean slice
of his immortality to his nose,
so the diminutively dapper
Mr.. Treux may be said to
have cuddled fame with his
difninutively dapper mustache.
By his own confession it
transformed him from a lit
tie boy-where the stage COM
petition is very keen-to a
little man, a form of stage
expression in which the riv-
airy is less heated. Mr..
Treux's divertingy comicalities
as a little man are again be-
fore the public in A. H.
Woods latest farce, mo More
Blondes" at Polls Theater to-
night.
1t may be justly said that
stature had as much TO do
with the fate OF Ernest as
with the fate of Goliath. Be-
cause Goliath grew, he fell in
his prime; because Mr.. Truck
didn't grow a Hamlet fell in
his teens. He is five feet tall
and weighs I2I pounds.

THREE GENERATIONS OF RIDERS

The aristocracy OF the stage has
its traditions and its cumulative

of birth, For instance. there is a
price Of lineage and accomplishment

Under this head comes a singu-
larly interesting division-that of

Everything about circus life tends
to preserve and strengthen family
ties. The same people live together,
work and play together in their
strange wandering, from one gene

former today bears a name which
sprang into fame. more than two

ten innings for the Growers to snatch

count OF bad leg and Hardy was
out for eight innings resting up from
bruises received in yesterdays game.
The Growers had three elegant
chances to win the game before the
ninth inning. They had a man on
third each time, and thrice the squeeze
was tried, and each time failed.
The winning run was put across ID
the tenth with two men down. Kun
osh was hit and Oser with 2 strikes
