Hugo yield to the demands of the
modern audience.
T was aware from the very start
that we would have tremendously
strong dose of weird tragedy the
minute that 1.-THE Man Who
Laughs" was flashed upon the
screen.
The central character, the clown
was cruelty operated on by bad
gang in his youth and his face was
so cut that he always appeared t'
be laughing although his eyes may
be crying and his soul filled with
anger and remorse. Even when
Fat made him a peer, his face
caused the other peers to declare
that he was laughing at them. Ano
when ne turned his face to the
queen.
Our heroine is blind during the
entire course of the story. She
never looked upon the weird face
of the man she loved. She says
that God must have closed her
eyes so that she might only behold
the real man."
Probably we never have had any
two more strange leading characters
heaped upon the score of a single
movie script.
A less gifted tragic actor than
Conrad Veidt, a European dramatic
star, as the clown would probably
have resulted in a tragedy for this
tragedy. But the role of the
man who laughs all the time is in
the capable hands of such an artist
as Veidt. He knows how and why
to conceal at certain times the ever
lasting laughing expression of the
character. His makeup is gigantic.
Here is legitimate dramatic work.
1t is most heavy dose, but 1t is
dramatic art both as to acting and
makeup. Miss Mary Philbin is cast
as the heroine who never sees. Just
sweet, sympathetic work on her
part.
1.-The Man Who Laughs" is a
period story of other days in Eng
land. The court scenes of the queen
have been handled with a SUCCESS
ton of burlesque but with a real
istic background Hundreds of peo-
pie have been used in the produc-
ton.
The direction has been MASTER
full and believe that the director
has brought the spirit of Hugo into
the story. Here is tragic story,
dismal and sad, but filed with
enough dramatic action and sus-
pense to keep you interested the
minute that the movie begins.
The talking shorts on the pro-
gram includes Charlie Rogers in
1.-THE Ice Man" and Bert Swor in
his blackface Offering.

WILL LOVERS OF
HUGO SUPPORT HIM?

After seing the movie version of
Victor Hugo's THE Man Who
Laughs" I am concerned with the
question, Will the reader of his ire
mendous stories support them on
the screen? And also will those
who have never read Hugo go to
see his stories on the screen?
You probably will answer me by
saving tina this stories have been
supported from a box Office stand
point in the past. But I believe
that just because Hugo is worth
while, that in itself is not sufficient
to make "The Man Who Laughs a
box office standpoint.
Hugo is worth while and he was
able to create better than any man
of his day the weird and strange
dramatic atmosphere of which he
is master. But does the real tragic

work we have ever seen him do. To
prove it listen to the women around
you cry as the final scene of the pic
ture is bringing the story to a close.
AS the father who did not wish his
boy to follow in his footsteps Conk-
lin is human and real.
Mary Brian as usual is her most
assured little self in whatever stu
alton she happens to appear. She
seems capable of giving excellent
account of herself at all times,
whether the story is good, bad or
Indifferent.
The story is laid in Princeton
university, where Conklin appears
in the role of janitor. The JAM
tor years before had been disso-
lutte husband and father whose little
son had been taken away from him
after his wife died.
But ne had kept track of his son
and had saved money with which to
send him to college. When the boy
does enter school Conklin is pre-
vented from telling him the story
of his life and must content him
self with carefully watching over
the boy and keeping him, as far as
is possible, in line with the things
he should do and away from the
things his father had done.
Rogers is exceedingly weak here,
but Conklin takes the burden OF the
story and carries it through.
In Mary Brian, cast as an en-
ploye in an amusement park show,
the boy meets the girl he loves. He
gets wild and it is only through the
influence of the girl and his father,
the janitor, that things are straight

comedy knockout, but it does have
healthy dashes Of fun in its make

Sammy Cohen is the principal

of three companions who attend the

The three get along all right ex-

CIV RODNEY DUTCHER)

Washington, Sept. 25.-- Why do
the worst hurricanes nearly always
come in late summer and early fall!
Chief Forecaster Charles l.. Mitch
ell of the United States weather bu-
reau explains that hurricanes are
confined to the period when con-
ditions exist which produce tropical
cyclones.
The tropical cyclone period runs
from June to November, but there
are few in June, July or November.
The really destructive hurricanes,
according to Forecaster Mitchell,
have most often occurred in August,
although those which caused great
loss Of life and property in the West
Indies and Florida in 1926 and 1928
bloomed in September.
Majority in Autumn
"The largest number has been re-
corded in September and October"
Mitchell said but most of them
are rather weak. Nine out Of ten
Of the August cyclones became real,
; honest-to- goodness hurricanes. Sep
TENDER is not really the big hurri-
cane month"
The heat and humidity required
for hurricanes are present in the
hurricane-breeding area only during
the tropical storm period. Such con-
ditions exist at and near the equator
all the year around, but Mitchell ex-
planned that there never are any
hurricanes at the equator, because
the defective force of the earth
which is another hurricane essential
) lis absolute zero 1t the equator.
Turned by Earth's Motion
"All the southeastern hurricanes
: originate in the doldrums, which run
from the coast Of South America to
the Cape Verde Islands," Mitchell
said. 1.-The defective force Of the
earth's rotation tends to turn every
moving body to the right, SO that
wind which starts north tends to
the east. Interchange of air from
the trade winds tends to establish
the rotation which makes cyclones"
81 The so-ca.led doldrumx form a
: belt of Gains ranging from near the
equator to line of about 10 degrees
; north latitude
When peculiar atmospheric con-
ditions give birth to a storm, the
whirling disturbance begins to draw
n warm, moist air from near the
surface Of the sea. The air pressure
begins to fall, and both the rotary
and the forward motions of the
storm are accentuated.
An inrushing air reaches the CEN
ter of the disturbance, it moves up
ward, and cirrus cloud formations
reaching perhaps hundreds Of miles
are formed.
RACES Over Sea
Soon the incipient hurricane be-
comes full grown. It drives north
ward. Rain falls in torrents. The
wind attains almost incalculable de-
structive force.
Once the hurricane moves inland
it begins to dissipate. A big body
of water and an immense reservoir
of warm air are the only things that
will keep it growing. Over land
these factors are lacking.
Weather authorities regard purely
as coincidence the fact that the worst
storms come near the time of the

RBACTIONARY
Early Outburst Carries Score
of Issues Up But Selling
Turns Prices

New York, Sept. 25.-R-Heavy
selling for both accounts turned the
course of prices reactionary today
after an early outburst Of strength
had carried more than a. score is
sues to new high levels. Except for
the calling of about $10,0OO,00O in
loans, presumably in reflection of
the semi-weekly adjustmnt by banks
Of their position at the federal re-
serve, there was nothing in the days
news to influence the selling move
ment. Brokers generally were in
clined to regard the setback as a
natural correction of top-heavy
speculative position.
Brokers reported that the belief
had been growing in speculative
circles that no serious reaction was
likely before election day, although
obviously there was nothing tangible
on which such an opinion could be
based. Thousands Of small specula-
tors have been attracted to the mar
ket in the hope of making quick
profits. Bear" traders, sensing an
unhealthy market condition, began
to hammer stocks around midday,
being aided in their operations by
the fact that the ticker had fallen
40 minutes or more behind the mar
ket.
So quick vas the decline in some
issues, and so late the tape, that
prices on the floor, in some cases,
were several points away from those
appearing on the tape. When this
information was circulated through
out the country over the private
wires of brokers, selling pressure in
creased.
Montgomery-Ward dropped from
an early high of 258 1-2 to $50.
Murray corporation dropped 10
points from it's early high and radio

points below yesterdays final quota

Year Franchise for New Sci
entific Formula, Sargon

Never before in the history of the
world has the progress Of Medical
Science been 50 rapid. One important
discovery after another has been
made which will have q far-reaching
effect upon the health and well-being
OF mankind. Some of these discov-
cries are startling in the extreme
and absolutely disprove many of the
beliefs, practices and theories we
have known for lifetime.
AS scientific investigators learn
more and more about the human an
atomy, the practice of medicine
changes-the old is discarded for
the new.
AS q result of this worldwide
medical research. Science has dis
covered that good health is largely
governed and maintained by three
vital organs and fluids Of the body.
These are the liver, the blood and the
endccryne glands.
What is more important, we have
learned that these organs and fluids
can be stimulated and invigOrated BY
certain basic elements.
Having knowledge of these inn
portant discoveries, one of Amer
ica's leading bio-chemists, succeeded,
after two and one-half years of lab
oratory research, in combining these
basic elements in one formula
which may well be considered one of
the greatest health-giving remedies
Of the age.
It is called Sargon. This formula
and the formula for Sargon Soft
Mass Pills, which are an essential
and integral part of the treatment,
are the property of the Sargon
Laboratories and can be obtained by
no other firm or individual in the
world.
This new scientific treatment,
which represents much Of our latest
knowledge on modern therapy, has
been acclaimed by druggists
throughout America as q triumph in
the field of medicine.
With the needs of their customers
uppermost in their minds, leading
druggists everywhere have been
eager to be among the first to supply
it to their trade.
Although introduced in the North
west only few weeks ago, Sargon
has already become q household
word. In the city Of Minneapolis
alone, over $1,000 bottles Of Sargon
and Sargon Soft Mass Pills have,
been sold and distributed by local
firms. Nothing like it has ever been
seen before.
The exclusive agency for Sargon
and Sargon Soft Mass Pills for this
city and section has been awarded
to Finney's Drug Store. In anticipa-
ton Of the enormous demand, this
well-known firm has just received a
large shipment Of these celebrated
medicines.
