 Praises Doctors
 With comparatively small an nount Of additional space a much larger number of aliens could be given this intensive examination by the existing stan. With more space and a carefully arranged system it is probably that the present stan could give an intensive examination to 2.ooo a day.
 My impression of the attitude and efficiency of the doctors in charge was favorable. There are certain minor changes in the system. particu- larly as to what might be called traf- fic regulations for dealing with this great mass of humanity which would. t seems, facilitate the work and make f less trying to those who are under. going examination. On these points ! have already talked with Surgeon General Cumming, and he will at once consider them with the officer of

Concerning Lon CLANCY, Is
Clutches and an Earthquake
Lon Clancy crashed into notice
by his weird work in THE Miracle

The producers will never find him

give him a pair OF crutches, deformed
hips and the like.
He is such a character in melo-

It's chief scene is a rather, clever
handling Of the San Francisco earth
quake The ending OF the movie,
showing the present city Of San Fran

San Francisco Chamber Of Commerce.
THE Shock" is good and interest

centers on the distorted body Of

principals they assembled-Lowell
Sherman. the best dress-suit villain
in captivity; Doris Kenyon, the most
emotional Of the virtuous heroines:
Harrison Ford, Edmund Breese, Ty-
rome Power, Effie Shannon, Clair
Dolorez. Charlie Murray and a few
others. II you can beat this for a cast,
just let me know.
No, yes am not going to give you
the plot. 1t concerns a nice little
country girl who wants a career on
Broadway. When it comes to paying
the price, well. our little Irene

melodrama, jazzed up with dress suits,
cabarets and the like, well, you will
have glorious time watching the
most polished villain operate. Really,
