California Fig Syrup" and it

sick child tomorrow. If constipat-

cold, collie, or if stomach is sour,
tongue coated, breath bad, remem-
her a good cleansing of the little
bowels is often all that is neces-
sary.

directions for babies and children
of all ages printed on bottle
Mother! You must say "Californla'
or you may get an imitation fig

Supplemental numbers ON program
receive as much attention from Hugo
Resented as do the longer feature
pictures--tc him the shorter subjects
are not mere .fiiers-inp to make up a
program TO run two hours or more, but
Important bits OF an ensemble that
must be as artistic as, say, bit Of
fare Solo in . magnificent overture.
At the Criterion Theater where Mr.
Riesenfeld Is showing William De
Miles production CT Edward Knob
locks original story, THE Lost Ro-
nance" for an extended engagement, this
care for supplemental numbers is illus
trated. A song number is staged with
q beauty which would do credit to the
best legitimate stage; a Benda mask
dance of rare interest and originality
has its brief existence; q Tony Sarg
shadow comedy has it's premier, and
.Moon Cold" beautiful and romantic
bit of screen fiction, is a fourth bit on
the program. The four shorter NUM-
bers are in keeping with the quality
of De Miles longer photoplay, "The
Lost Romance
The song number is called "Sere-
made" taking it's name from the title
of the song written by Eunice Toselli.
Fred Jagel, tenor, appears as Pierrot
with his guitar. The silver moon
hangs low on the garden scene, where
rose bushes bloom and quaint Lam
tern throws its soft yellow light upon
the heartbroken singer in white silk.
The scene is brief one-all too brief
yet effectively creates the atmos-
phere of quaint love-making.
"Moon Gold,' a Dramatilm produc-
tion, directed by will Bradley, con-
tinues the playful spirit of the seren-
ade, telling the story of the unhappy
Pierrot who married Pierrette and
found that she loved jewels and luxury
and did not love the flowers that
pleased Pierrot Most of the back
grounds in the picture are q velvety
black, and against them stand the lit
tie, queer pieces of furniture and the
moonlit bushes. Crystal candelahra
hang from above to add their luster
to some of the scenes. "Moon Gold"
is pretentious little taking fully
half an hour to tell its tale-yet every
moment is delight to the eye and
an indication of the art possibilities
of combining the fairy tale with the
photoplay.
H. Dudley Hawley plays the part of
Pierrot, and Lois Bartlett, just twelve
years old, appears as the petulant little
Pierrette Others IN the cast are Syn

inson, Guy Nichols, Clifford Walker,

The New Art Of Dressing
A Motion Picture Program

! little Katherine and beautiful white
lcat
Then follows the Benda mask dance
--a an important innovation in motion
picture program making. 1t Is the first
OF a series created by w. T. Benda
and Mr.. Riesenfeld, and tells by means
| of the masks ard gestures of three fig-
ures the humorous stery of sad, book
| loving girl who saw her hero in a
passing dandy and fell in love with
him, only 20 lose him again when q
| frivolous ard boisterous girl bounced
into his presence. Her pathetic plead
ings are unavailing, and the dandy,
after urging her to turn again to her
book, slips away with the giddy one.
Paul oscard plays the dandy; Desha,
who will be recalled for her beautiful
Bubble Dance has the role OF the
sad girl, and Vera Myers plays the
dashing, giddy girl. Dance and panto-
mime carry The entire story with per-
feet clarity. Special settings and cos
tunes were designed by Mr.. Benda as
we'll as the masks.
! Tony Sarg's Almanac, as the, genial
artist and master of marionettes calls
| his new film creation, shows the first
| trained animals in "The First Circus"
Against soft gray background are
the funny silhouettes which depict mo-
ton with greatest smoothness. Shadow
| graph dolls are used by Mr.. Sarg in
stead OF the thousands of pen and ink
| drawings that are necessary to make
/ the familiar cartoon comedies. A
! dinosaurus Is the principal attraction
at this "hrst circus" frightening and
pleasing the little folks as we'll as the
! adults. Three monkeys and q mysteri-
Gus bottle add some more fun at the
| primeval festival. Mr.. Sarg's pictures
are known as "marionette movies" in
| silhouette.
! The principal feature of the program
Tho Lost Romance"-is the first
| of the series of famous authors-fa-
nous directors" pictures announced re-
Gently by Paramount. Edward Knob
| lock wrote the story especially for film
| expression, after studying the posi-
bilities and limitations of the screen.
| Lois Wilson, Conrad Nagel and Jack
Holt play the principal parts in the
photoplay, which analyses wife's be-
lief that she lost her romance when
she married physician and hopes to
regain it by leaving her husband and
child and marrying former suisor.
There are five numbers on the pro-
gram, each the finest of it's kind, a
gathering which typihes what Mr..
Riesenfeld seeks in every entertain
ment. Each number is distinct in per-
sonality-if the term is permissible
yet blended with thread which car
ries the spirit of romance.
