"PASSION' MARKS NEW ERA IN
 RECOMMENDATION MONDAY

It is said the advent of the new super drama "Passion.i to be presented by the Associated First National at the Trianon rext week. beginning Monday, marks \ rev and progressive era in motion pie ture production. This production marks the third week of the Trianon grand pie ture season This massive attempt at excelling in the silent diversion is not only described as tremendously big in it's story and settings, but it establishes nev standards in the scope and power of vis- ualization. Stress is laid on the new technical perfectons with which it is claimed to be filled; there is depth of panoramic perspective which has never been seen on the screen before-big pull satings scenes from the pages of life which seem doubly realistic because ot the stereoscopic character of the photo graphy. In "Pa ssion'' there is a system of photography which has discovered the method of reproducing not merely shad- ows and reflections, but bodies and scenes which are endowed with their true dimensions. This novelty alone marks new style of entertainment
 Passion has for it's story an intimate version of the life and adventures of the ll-fated little French milliner, Jeanne Marie Vaubernier. who rises from her lowiy place among the masses to the command of a king and the nation through her irresistible charms. Later she becomes the storm center in thrill ingly tempestuous times when the who'll. populace revolts because of it's hatred or this very product of their kind, Great intensity is added to the dramatic value of the whole narrative through the fact that the object of all this public indisna- ton has lost all her unlimited power when she is obliged to grapple with her opponents. She is more than game In her fearful struggles until former slave of hers turns traitor to her cause. which results in her being incarcerated ana later beheaded. Running throughout tho inlay is enc of the most gripping love ar enirs conceivable--it being the undying

CHARLIE CHAPLIN HITS HIGH SPOT
 IN COMEDY FEATURE THE KID'

to doubt. But several times during the course of 'The Kid this comedian made him swallow a lump in his throat and wipe real tears of sympathy from his eyes by the pathos of his acting, and before his handkerchief was back in his pocket it was needed again to dry his cheeks of the tears caused by the shrieks of laughter from the antics of the same actor.
 As a comedy the production is a win ner: as a dramatic production it ranks highs but the strongest appeal this First National six reels of joy made was to bring the realization that Charlie Chap lin is not clown but one of the most ccnsummate actors on the screen today.

Charlie Chaplin has hit the high spot in delightful entertainment in his first attcmpt at feature length picture, The Kidi' which is the title he has given the story, which he has written himself, is the most enjoyable Chaplin film ever seen. In the first place it simply bub- bles over with laughter and, the situa- tions are so human that you do not feel foolish because you are laughing. Again
 it is long enough so that it provides a whole evenings entertainment in itself.
 Had some one told the reviewer before he saw The Kid' that he could be con vinced that the character which Charlie has always represented on the screen could be presented in such a way that he could visualize him as a living breath ing mortal, he would have been inclined

Loss of Appetite, That Tired Feel. ing and Sometimes Eruptions.

Thousands take Hoods Sarsapa- rilla as a spring medicine for that tired feeling, nervous weakness, impure blood and say it makes them feel better. eat and sleep bet ter, and makes food taste good"

The white blood corpuscles, sometimes called 'the little soldiers in the blood" because 1t is their duty to fight disease germs, are too weak to do good service.
 Hoods Sarsaparilfa strengthens the little soldiers" and enables them to repel germs of grip, influ- enza. levers and other ailments: relieves catarrh and rheumatism. It has given satisfaction to three generations. Get it today. and for . laxative take Hoods Pills.
