HHelped Him
 From the First
Birmingham Man Says Herb Juice Was Only Medicine To Do Him Any Good.

' "Never before have ever given a public endorsement of this kind, but your Herb Juice medicine has given me so much relief and proven so satis- factory in every way that I feel 1t ia my duty to others who are suffering as suffered for 19 long months to make this public statement and tell them that Herb Juice Is one medicine they can take with confidenSe," said Mr. John Saks, of 1928 North Twenty recent congregation with the Herb Juice man.
 Before was fortunate enough to hear of this great medicine, Herb Juice," continued Mir. Saks, ''I had suf- fered with constipation and kidney had sore. aching pain in my side and my kidneys were so irregular that I could not sleep or get my proper rest at night. In addition to this, was bothered great deal with rheumatism pains in my shoulders from which I suffered a great deal, appetite was very poor and I was just in a general run down condition. Of course, like thou sands of others who are suffering from these common ailments, ! was always taking some kind of medicine trying to get relief, but I can honestly say that never found 1t until started using the Herb Juice, which has given me more relief than I had expected from any one medicine. had only used 1t few days when began to feel better and before Il had used my first bottle up I knew that I, had at last found a medicine that was going to put me In good shape again and now, after using 1t for some time, I feel better than I have for years. My kidneys are more regular so that sleep fine at night, have a wonderful appetite and for the first time in over year, am not bothered with constipation. have not had pain in my side since began using this medicine and have also been relieved of those rheumatic pains in my shoulder. In short, can truthfully say that l feel a hundred per cent im- proved In every way. As said before, Herb Juice has proven SO satisfactory in every way that I feel 1t is my duty to give this statement and tell everyone that this is one medicine they can take with confidence" t

 Wrinkle, is bashful about his love affairs.
 Saturday Mike received a letter from Tommie and Mary Lester of Tuscumbia, Ala, asking him which, one he really loves the best-Eleanor or Winnie, and Mike forthwith en- tered into a consultation with the editorial staff on the matter.
 Mikes says he hates to disappoint his little friends, but really he can't answer that question, for frankly, he says he don't know. Time only will tell, Mike says, and advised his fol- lowers to keep a sharp lookout on the, pages on The Age-Herald for future developments.
 Maybe Mike has scheme in his mind now in an effort to ascer- tain which one he really does love best. Who knows.

Director Who Won Medal for His
"ToPable DavieF' Surpasses Best
Efforts in Lillian Gish Picture

Efforts in Lillian Gish Picture
a gentleman from Virginia, an
astute scholar of life, film director
who goes himself one better with
| each picture he produces. Henry
! King has reached a pinnacle in his
/ perturbation of +. Marion CraWf0rd's
famous novel, ''The White Sister," in
which Lillian Gish is the star
| This popular special, which opened
an engagement at the Opera house
on Wednesday, marks the most i'm
portant milestone in the career OF
Mr.. King, career that has been
dotted with worthy efforts all along
| the way, and serves to show the
great strides made by this man Of
| imagination.
The director who has helped Miss
| Gish realize her greatest success on
the screen was born in Christians
| burg Virginia, and was educated in
| Roanoke. The family had chosen
| the study of law for Henry. but the
| latter discovered n strong hiking for
| the stage, and much to the disap-
| pointment of his elders, left home at
| the age of seventeen to engage in his
! chosen line.
His stage experience was that Of
! many other youths who try to find
/ the elusive elf of success in the
| binding light of the footlights. He
| began humbly, playing small parts in
/ repertoire companies and doubling
UP in roles or mob scenes. Gradu-
ally his work attracted attention and
he began to get better engagements,
until he finally realized the ambition
of his adolescence - to play on
Broadway.
He spent ten years on the stage,
appearing in such plays as THE Lion
and the Mouse" and "Graustark."
In the meanwhile he had become in
terested in the possibilities of the
motion picture, and decided to
change his medium of expression to
the screen. He was first an actor,
and then fell into, line as a director.
He soon achieved an enviable
reputation for his work in filming
Mary Roberts Rinehart's story.

.'Hunchback OF Notre name" Direc-
tor Acted in Hugo Classic on Stage
in 1901
At the Colonial theatre on Mon
day will be held the widely heralded
premier of the Universal production,
THE Hunchback of Notre Dame"
which won the unqualified praise of
New York critics, being generally
hailed as the finest achievement of
the age.
Throughout the Hugo masterpiece
runs beautiful love story-certain
changes were made in the produc-
ton in order to avoid offending any
particular religious body, but these
changes have been endorsed by all
who have seen the production.
Lon CLANCY heads the stellar cast
of 3091, which includes such notables
as Ernest Terrence, Patsy Ruth Mil
Ter, Tully Marshall, Brandon Hurst,
Nigel de Brulier and Winifred Bry-
son. The majority of these are as
well-known on the stage as on the
screen.
Wallace Worsley. who directed the
filming Of THE Hunchback of No
tire Dame" occupies the unique posi-
ton of having produced in motion
pictures a theme in which he once
acted on the legitimate stage. A
sole in THE Hunchback of Notre
Dame" when il appeared in legiti-
mate drama was Worsley's first stage
appearance.
In other ways Worsley was pecu-
liarly fitted as the director for this
production. Worsley's favorite sub
sect in Brown University was French
history. His initial theatrical role
revived this interest and through all
of the intervening years he has been
a student of French history. His
knowledge is such that he could
have been walked up in the middle
of the night and he would have been
able to direct from almost any peri
cd of French history.-Adv.
