Getting the Best

q
When I'm in poor condition, all
out of whacS inside, hire learned
physician whose fame is nation
wide My lungs and liver sounding,
he finds just why I'm sick: his bill
is most astounding when he has
done the trick, but he's trouble
shooter who seldom makes mistakes,
and I'm an ardent rooter fors men
who are not fakes. / much admire
the wizard who knows just what
to do, the doc who says, Your giz-
zard is badly out of true; I'll get
my saw and chisel, I'll get my ak
and plane, and make your ailments
mizzle, and make you sound again"
| used to hunt the cheapest of all
the docs in town, but now l get
the steepest, the ones of wide re-
nown. When ailments were dis
tressing I'd call cheap sawbones in ;
carnival of guessing would pres
emily begin. One said | had the
fever, another said the flu, and one
prescribed cleaver, one banked on
liquid glue. The village vet in
sisted on bran and faxseed meal ;
the yarb man weened and visited
that yellow dock would heal. And
all of this was guessing and not a
doc was sure that all his measly
messing would brace me I'D and
cure. So now | hire the sawbones
whose fame is great and wide, from
whose impressive jawbones the
words of wisdom slide. He views
me circumspectly, he knows just
what to do. he grinds my valves
correctly, and makes my motor choo.

"The Christian is
Super-Film that
Will Live Long

Full of stirring seehes that run
the gamut from n blood-thirsty
mob to fashionable horse race,
with all the passions of hate, love
and revenge interwoven into one
of the biggest things the screen has
seen, 1.-THE Christian was shown
last night at the Palace to a large
and appreciative audience.
None of the romance or appeal of
the book have been lost-in fact,
much has been gained by bringing
the story down to date in time
and costume.
Director and principals were sent
to England to make exteriors IL
London. at Cambridge, at the Der
by at EPSON Downs and on the
Isle of Man where the big thrilling
elimaxes of the story take place.
The author, Sir Hall Caine gave
his assistance to the director in OBJ
tanning the correct atmosphere and
in getting the consent of the Lon
don officials TO photograph the big
mob scene in Trafalgar Square-the
first time such permission had ever
been granted.
The story of "The Christian -
concerns the efforts of one John
Storm, to become Il Christian So
cialist, and his struggle to free him
self from his love for Glory
Quayle. He meets the usual end
that comes TO all reformers and pro-
phets.
The east is notable one: Rich
ard Dix plays the lead and opposite
him is Mae Busch. These two play
ers were selected by process of
