DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets. the
substitute for calomel, act gently on
the bowels and positively do the
work.
People afflicted with bad breath
find quick relief through DR.. Ed
wards Olive Tablets. The pleasant
sugar-coated tablets are taken for
bad breath by all who know them.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets act
gently but firmly on the bowels and
liver. stimulating them to natural ac-
ton, clearing the blood and gently
purifying the entire system. They
do that which dangerous calomel
does without any of the bad after eff
fects.
All the benefits of nasty. sickening.

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets without
gripping, pain or any disagreeable ef-
fects.
DIR. r. NJ Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of
practice among patients afflicted with
bowel and liver complaint, with the
attendant bad breath.
Olive Tablets are purely a vece-
table compound mixed with olive oil:
YOU will know them by their olive
color. Take one or two every night
for 4 week and note the effect loo

PALACE
Forgotten Men,

The Greater Movie Season, pro-
iected upon the public gaze by
the movie-m makers of the nation,
spurred to the task by Ringmas-
ter VIII Hays. got off to an early
and suspicious start yesterday at
Loew's Palace Theater, when large
audiences saw THE Street OF For
gotten Men, produced by Metro
Goldwyn and Lou B. Mayer.
In the ever-capable hands OF
Herbert Brenon, director of Peter
Pam and other great works of
the screen this rather obvious
story becomes close to being a
classic of its kind.
We did not read the story by
George Kibbe Turner, from which
the film terminated, but we
imagine that 1t was, on the whole,
uninspired The theme is old,
but-the locale is picturesque, the
settings could not have been bet
tered. and the acting of Percy
Marmont and the supporting cast
would call forth praise from a
Sphinx
Brenon's genius dominates this
picture with the forceful brilliance
born of justified self confidence.
Ever and anon. he pilots the story
away from the shoals of hokum,
because, as we have noted before.
1.-THE Street Of Forgotten Men" is
not a fooi-proof story.
If for nothing else, the picture
Is interesting for its expose of the
methods of professional beggars.
The back room of Diamond
Mikes Bowery saloon, twenty-odd
years ago, was headquarters for
these leeches upon the credulity
of the charitable. The cleverest
and kindest of these was Easy
Money Charlie (played by Mar
mont to whose care was given
the baby girl of an unfortunate
woman. He raised the girl to
womanhood, maintaining their
home by begging. The foster
daughter MARY Brian is wooed
by young lawyer Neil Hamil-
toni, to whom Easy Money Charlie,
in one of the many highly dra-
matte moments of the picture, re-
veals the truth about Mary and
himself.
Irony, rare in films. has a place
in this photoplay. For instance.
a pseudo-blind beggar, warned
by physicians to be careful of his
up-strained eyes, becomes en-
broiled in a fight. He is struck
in the face. He plumbers, stun
bles, falls. My God" he cries,

We might continue to anumer-
ate many such film touches which
contribute toward the excellence
of the film. But, after all you
would have to go and see for your
self. We heartily recommend it
to everyone.
