CLANCY Superb In Mastery Char
acter Portrayal of Star Role of
huoo's sHunchback'

acter Portrayal of Star Role of
Hugo's 'Hunchback
According to an announcement
made in connection with Carl
Laemmle's screen version of 1.-THE
Hunchback of Notre Dame" Lon
CLANCY is the best character actor
in America today.
These things have been brought
home on many occasions, but
never more strongly than Yesterday
afternoon when THE Hunchback of
Notre Dame" was given it's first
local showing at the Colonial
Theatre. Here is picture that is
worthy of attention, for it has been
screened SO carefully it measures up
so fully to ones expectations, that
it comes near to occupying a place
apart.
1.-THE Hunchback" is a character
study of the first water. The Cathe-
dral is the most pretentious of the
many settings and occupies a prom
inent place throughout the action.
Other sets and scenes are of breath
taking immensely. Vaulted arches
run back apparently hundreds of
feet. The solemn air of the story is
reverentially carried out. Director
Wallace Worsley has done a rare
bit of work. The picture sweeps
from squalor to grandeur; from
gilded bathrooms to dives and sewers
of the underworld, always convinc-
ingly, always with force, above all
always superbly acted and direct
ed.
Next to Chaney's "Quasimodo."
undoubtedly the most striking figure
in the film is Ernest Torrence's
Chopin, King of the Underworld"
His impersonation Is a masterstroke
OF acting. Patsy Ruth Miller was
questioned as a choice for the role
of "Esmeralda," but after one sees
the production, all doubt as to the
wisdom of the choice vanishes in
thin air. She is ideally cast and
we predict great things for this
talented young st. Louis girl in the
future. Norman Kerry makes
handsome and dashing character in

; than when we are awake under
natural conditions.
There also is more blood in the
skin, and probably in the lungs,
during sleep.
These facts have been conclu-
sively established by scientific in
vestigation. This is why we not
only lie down when we sleep, but
it is why practically all human
beings avoid attracting blood to
the stomach by taking food i'm.
mediately before going to bed.
Then, too, the maintenance OF
digestive activity while asleep
tends to keep certain particular
centers of the brain active and
thus keeps them from getting the
physiologic benefit to be derived
from rest incident to sleep.
Sometimes these digestive cen
tiers in the brain revolt under
this continuous strain, and the
night-eater grits his teeth, losses
about, has troublesome dreams
or suddenly awakens with a fit
Of acute indigestion.
Under these circumstances
there is an excessive amount Of
blood in the brain due to the re-
action from overstimulation, and
consequent overwork.
When this occurs, especially in
persons Of advanced years with
high blood pressure and hardened
arteries, there is a distinct ten
dency to the rupture Of blood.
vessel in the brain inducing the
condition generally known as
apoplexy.
It follows from these facts that
the habit Of eating heavy eve
ming meal should be avoided by
people who go to bed within two
or there hours after eating it.
An empty stomach tends to rest
the brain in sleep.

five-dollar a week apartment.
In the shop window was a
classy looking car, but behind it
lay a tale Of excessive mileage.
It had been bought, originally, by

WYE hear a good deal about
w the value Of apples as
w aids to good health.
There is no doubt but that
apples are good food, particularly
if they are eaten skins and all
because they are laxative. carry
a large percentage Of vitamins
and have some other food values
depending chiefly upon the pres
ence of sugar.
But the trouble about this ap-
ple-eating notion is that it is as
sociated with the other notion
that, to get the most benefit out
of apples, they ought to be eaten
just before going to bed.
An esteemed reader OF my ar.
ticles has written me rather in
protest against my teaching that
the taking of food before going
to bed is not a wholesome habit.
docs not the digestion Of food
draw the blood to the stomach?
If the blood is drawn to the
stomach is it not drawn away
from the head, and is that not
what we want when we sleep?"
asks this correspondent.
No.
We sleep because we desire to
recharge our storage batteries in
the brain.
We recharge these storage bat
teries-these more or less ex-
hausted brain cells-with energy
derived from the blood.
The purpose Of lying down
when we sleep is to get the bene.
fit Of gravity in carrying a nor
NAL excess Of blood to the head
for this purpose, while giving our
heart something Of a rest.
