South American jun
gle Film Showing
AT Dittrnann

"The Gateway OF the Moon" Fox
Films colorful drama Of the South
American jungle with the beautiful
Dolores Del Rio in the stellar role,
will have its local premier at the
Dittmann theater today.
Miss Del Rio, who achieved wide
world fame with her characterize
ton Of Charmaine in "What Price
Glory" again scores a triumph in
the part of Toni, a half caste girl of
the wilds. Perhaps no star in mo-
ton picture has both the alluring
beauty and emotional capacity for
p~ortraying the role Of such a prim-
tive child of nature as this same
Miss Del Rio.
The story Of "The Gateway Of the
Moon deals with white mems eff
forts Of building n railroads through
n jungle at a ruthless cost 20 native
life and happiness. Gillespie, the
chief engineer. played by Anders
Randolf, is a brute hated and feared
by his white and native workers
alike. Toni is his niece, who neither
fears nor hates MIN. But with the
coming of Wyatt, played By Walter
Pidgeon, she begins TO recognize her
uncle's evil nature and is willing to
help Wyatt.
There is action, ~suspenses, and hu-
NOR in this picture and the superla-
tive acting by "a cast of screen ia
vorites, which includes Leslie Fen
ton, Ted MacNamara and others
equally well known. The background
of the jungle is highly interesting
and the picture rs n whole nm entar-
tainment decidedly worth seeing.
The local theater has placed an
elaborate front door decoration fea-
turing Miss Del Rio in front of a
moon both created out of beaded
paint work. She is seated over an
actual artistically constructed gate.

Colman, Banky Com
bination Ideal For
Capitol Film

Samuel Goldwyn, producer Of
"Stella Dallas THE Night of L1~e.'
"The Dark Angel and other distin-
guished films, offers as the piece de
resistance Of his career the new
Ronald Colman-Vilma Banky film.
"The Magic Flame" coming to the
Capitol theater Sunday. 1.-The Magic
Flame" is n story of clowns and
counts. circus and court, love and
laughter.
Ronald Colman plays two roles in
the film, that Of a clown and that

aerial artist, whom Colman's two
characters love and struggle for.

The action Of the story occurs in
a Mediterranean country, Baretti's
circus furnishing the background
against which Wilma Bany and Ron

CLANCY IS IN /
film SUCCESS
Laugh. Clown, Laugh
At Queen Lends It
self to Makeup

Mystery surrounds the "man with
fhe iron mask" but Lon Clancy has
even Q stranger distinction. He was
"the man with the lacquered face"
while making his latest Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer vehicle, Laugh, Clown,
Laugh" which comes today to the
Queen theater. Clancy literally
conquered age, and, by the strangest
trick Of makeup he has ever essay
ed, presented the smooth face OF a
2~-year-old boy in the opening scenes
of the picture.
This was accomplished by what he
called his "self-lifting face" IL
was q trick Of makeup by which he
eradicated all wrinkles, through use
OF a secret plastic material. The
actor experimental four a 10
perfect his latest illusion, used for
the first time in the new Herbert
Brennan production.
Clancy starts the picture as a
youth, appears as in middle age, and
finally as an old man in the as
founding drama OF life behind the
scenes - the theater. He plays the
tragic clown enacted in the stage
version by Lionel Barrymore, and
Loretta Young is the heroine.
As the clown in the new picture
spinning on a rod high in the air,
he does a sensational acrobatic act,
walking a tight rope and making a
sensational slide over the heads of
a theater audience in the theater
scenes.
The stroy is n tense drama OF a
clowns sacrifice for the woman he
loves, a beautiful surround
ed by thrills, spectacle and comedy.
Nils Asther plays the male juvenile
role and Bernard Siegel is Chaney's
foil as second clown; Gwen Lee,
Cissy Fitz-Gerald and others Of note
are in the cast. Lavish replicas of
European theaters and other elabo-
rate detail mark the huge produc-
ton.
Tuesday evening a special vaude-
vile program will be given with the
featured picture by the pupils of the
Kathryn Alexander Gay school Of
dancing.

SECRETS OF

few causes OF death in the United
I states. Its victims are Of AL ages,
although the extremes OF life
rank especially high as being sus.
ceptible To the disease It occurs
In all seasons, although winter il
more favorable to It's development,
The disease Is caused BY germs
that very constantly inhabit the
upper air passages.
Then. you ask, why do not
all of US get pneumonia
The whole question OF resistance
to pneumonia infection find is
so ably presented by Sir James
Barr, in the Practitioner. that
I cannot help making resume
of his observations.
A healthy vigorous infant with
good respiratory capacity should
not be liable to any disease. but
many are unfortunately unfit for
this world. One-fourth OF the
deaths under five years of age
are due to pneumonia. To keep
healthy lungs from infancy TO old
age you must maintain q coed
vital capacity. This is established
at birth when the baby cries, and
a good preliminary howl Is q
fine thing to start life with, for
it expands the lungs and estab-
fishes negative pressure in the
chest which should keep them ex-
banded for life. To stimulate this

better.
Youths should maintain their
health, physique and vital capac-
ityr by plenty of outdoor exercise.
There is no better exercise for de-
veloping the vital capacity at all
ages than hill.climbing. To test
your vital capacity stand erect.
take deep breath and see how
many you can count during the
single expiration. If you get up
to 20 your vital capacity is all
right. OF course, you must not
begin by rapid deep breathing be-
fore the test, or you make it
easier.
The vital capacity OF women Is
less than that of men. The per-
centage Of mortality from pneu-
monia is greater, too. Pneu-

fictitious disease, but the organism
is not very highly infectious, and
the determination of pneumonia
is almost entirely matter of en-
vironment. 1t is largely dis
ease of town life. Fog and low
temperature, when combined for a
short period only, are remarkably
disastrous to infants and the old.
Cold. damp atmosphere seems to
be the determining cause. 1t Is
less frequent among those who
lead a healthy outdoor life than
among those who work in i'll

Frequent draughts of alcohol are
more potent tina ndraughts OF cold

The way to prevent pneumonia
is TO raise the resisting power OF
the individual, /. e., encourage
