Ell, DIR GU1LLERMo SALAzAR Sc
APUNTA UN NUEvo ExITo

He pensado mucho 81 al dar la pu-
bIcidad estas justas y sinceras hneas
incurria en- un acto impropio y WI
gar Durante dos semanas he estado
indeciso hoy me resuelvo al fin para
manifestar p1bhcamente, mi agrade-
cinniento al DR.. Guillermo Salazar,
cot2fado en- que ell acto que realizo es
justo, es noble es humane.
Como intellectual que ANA la vida
sabe aquilatar la abnegaci6n y ell
arte del medico que Sc halla la ca
becera de un enferrno, asi aprecie en-
tonces amerito hoy los conocimientos
ell amor que siente por su profe-
sion ell distinguido galeno que insp1-
ra estos humildes parrafos.
Ell dia Is de julio fui atacado de
un bronco-pneumonia la salida del
bano. La enfermedad fue tai que mi
familia creyo en- un fatal desenlace,
pero ell DR.. Salazar tenia fe en- que
81 habia de curarme, ordenando mi
traslado la Clinica Corchado, Ia cual
goza de gran prestigio en- Ponce y en-
todo Puerto Rico. En- este sitio re-
cupere la salud perdida, regresando
a mi hogar en- franca convalecencia.
Dos dias despues de haber regresa-
do a casa fui victima del paludismo
complicado con una affection a los RI
noAes, estuve recibiendo por espacio
de dos semanas los valiosos servlcios
de este insigne medico, hata que des-
apareci6 la dolencia, la que por haber
constituido una recaida, no solamente
fu6 pelgrosa sino tambien demoledora
de mi naturaleza.
Mi case, pues, constituye un ex1to
professional un laurel mas que suma
EN- su noble hu1nana profession, Ell
DIR Guillermo salazar Palau.
Hoy me siento mas agil, he aumen-
tado do peso v tengo buen apetito
Por todo clio reciba Ell DR.. salazar un

She's Altered to
Fit ''Peter Pan

Reducing a five-foot actress
to five inches without pain or
permanent harm was the feat
accomplished by Roy Pome-
roy, wizard of screen magic,
who aided Herbert Brenon in
the production of u. M. Bar
rie's SPeter Pan" for Para
mount.
Virginia Brown Fare was
the player wso lost four feet,
seven inches of her natural
stature in the scenes which
she played Tor this produc-
ton of Barrie's fantasy. Miss
Faire played the role of
tinker Bell" the rowdy lit
tie fairy who mends the pots
and pans for the other fairies
and earned for herself the
nickname of tinker"
When she flies through the
air, "Tinker Bell" is only a
ball Of light, but whenever she
alights, she Immediately be-
comes visible. In order that
her diminutive size might be
maintained throughout the
picture, Roy Pomeroy, wh0
parted the waters of the Red
Sea in Cecil B. De Miles
'The Ten Commandments"
worked out a system of pho
{ Biography whereby she appears
only five inches in height
while the other players retain
their normal sizes.

M. Grammar has given Los
Angeles these things, but Los
Angeles wants the rocking-horse
in the other kids yard. Grau-
man is reported to be doing his
very best to placate the mulling,
rioting crowds which have de-
scended like a scourge on the
city shouting, apparently:
eve want 'Romola'!"
Here is M. Grauman's answer
to Los Angeles, published in The
Examiner a week ago. Note the
absence of bitterness at the city's
gratitude displayed by M. Grau-
mana diplomat, if ever. Grau-
man explains; he does not deride.
He would placate; not stir to
fury. He does not seem, how
ever, to be doing his best.
