81 began taking Tanlac after it re-
stored my fathers health, and now l
believe it has given me new lease

most a wreck. My nerves were SIM
ply shattered and my whole system
seemed to be disordered. l was SUBJ

off in weight and became awfully
weak and run down. During the day,

"Well, Tanlac just seemed to suit
my case exactly, for l began to inn
prove right away, and it certainly did
make me feel happy. My appetite
returned and I hardly know l have
such things as nerves now. In fact,

gained in weight, and feel so we'll and

OUTSIDE THE LAW
 Is 1T THE P|lzA

With the booking of the Priscilla Dean feature, Outside the Law, for local showing, news comes from Unl- versal City that Tod Browning, au- thor and producer of the underworld film epic, is working upon stage dramatization of his picture. This is one of the first instances of drama. written specially for the screen, being adapted to the stage. It indicates the reversal of tradition, that modern film production has brought about.
 Whether Priscilla Dean, who stars in the film, to be shown at the Plaza theater. Sunday and Monday, will be released by Carl Laemmle so that she may play in the stage version is not yet known.
 It is considered probable, however, that Lon Chaney will take his same part when "Outside the Law is staged. Chaney, acknowledged the foremost male dramatic actor on the American screen. is tied up by no contracts Although his weekly sal ary runs into four figures, Chaney still maintains his freedom as a film s'free-lance.'

Well, well, well. Look what a big show they have at the little show

 ham, Mildred Heinze, who is present
 ing far east conceit entitled the Harem dance of the sultan's favorite. Inthis production Miss Heinze has gained a reputation of the Pacific coast second to one, and her act has been featured on big time. She is the personification of grace and poetical motion and her act done is well worth the price of admission. Ask anybody who has seen Jack Miller. Ann Montgomery, Jack Oakley, Petty Blair. Carolina Brunson. Al Mcdonald and that jazzy, exquisite, lovable bunch of females of the species, the Mller and Wakefield beauty chorus, what they think of the show at the Coliseum and they'll say. Its great. Don't take their word for it, go and see it yourself and if it's good. tell the other fellow just how good 1t really is. Tonight is your last chance to see Major Harter's famous Arizona made, wild and woolly reproduction
 (and the only one ever photographed) of the fantastic religious Hopi Indian ceremony, the snake dance. It's com plimentary to the patrons of the Coli scum and will be screened imme- diately after the regular musical show program is finished. The man. agement wishes to take this oppor- tunity to thank the patrons of the
