FINDS EASY WAY
TOPREVENT EVER
HAVING BAD COLD

Glad that he took. the advice of
his doctor, M. A. Purdue, like num-
bers of people here, now realizes
how easily the needless misery O.
a cold can be avoided.
Mr.. Purdue used to catch cold
easily ever since he had acute bron-
chitis. On the advice of his doctor.
then, he started taking Ayers Pee
toral the minute he felt cold COM
ing on-and in this way he prevents
a cold from getting a start.
This helpful medication, doctors
find, quickly checks congestion,
drives out a threatening cold and
restores Innings Of the air passages.
In this way it builds up resistance
so that the cold may be ended be-
fore the miserable feeling begins.
Used in time, Ayers Pectoral is
helping vast numbers here to 20
thru the winter without ever hay
ing bad cold.

ENDED COLD BEFORE
PNEUMONIA SET in

Neglecting a cold is sure to cause
needless misery and may weaken
resistance to pneumonia. So num-
berS of Indianapolis people are using
in their homes the pleasant hospital
treatment that gave such quick,
sure relief to Chas. H. Wilkins.
Mr.. Wilkins, for example, asked
his doctor for a prescription when
his cold got SO bad he felt "achy"
all over. The doctor Immediately
gave him large dose of Ayers
Pectoral and advised him to con-
tinue the treatment every half hour
until the "feverish," "achy" feeling
was gone, then once every two
hours. In just a few minutes he
began to feel better and slept com
fortably all night. In another day
or SO the cold congestion had dis
appeared entirely and he was back
at work.

Goes Straight to Seat
of a Threatening Cold

Miss Lee, for example, aWoke with
slight fever and an "achy," irri-
tated feeling in her nose, throat
and chest. Instead of ending it at
once by prompt treatment, she neg
lected the cold to nurse a patient
who was seriously i'll. That night
the cold bothered her So she could
not sleep and by morning conges-
ton caused her to fear pneumonia
and call one of the hospital physi-
clans.
Acting on his advice she took dou-
bic strength doses of Ayers Pee
toral-the hospital certified medical
ton of wild cherry, terpin-hydrate
and other ingredients used to help
reduce fever, clear up congestion
and drive the cold out of one sys-
tenn.
Relief began almost instantly
when she felts it comforting, heal
ing Warmth-from her nose pas
sages deep down into her chest.
Congestion began to clear up and
by night her fever was normal and
the "achy" feeling had disappeaSed.
Next morning she was able to 20
back on duty and in just a day on
SO all trace of the cold and cough
had cleared up entirely.

CIRCLE PICTURE
HAS GOOD COMEDY

Meet the Cohens and Kellys, they
are in Atlantic City now.
You have met them on the East
Side of New York, and you have
seen them in Paris. Now they
"Whoop it up" at the Atlantic fun
city.
The comedy is the kind that has
made the names Cohen" and
kelly known in movie circles. It
is fast and funny, with a lot of
clean slap-stick and burlesque tricks
in it, and good for laugh; several
laughs.
Cohen and Kelly run wholesale
house that handles bathing suits
Unfortunately for business neither
of the partners are progressive, and
try to dress the women of today in
bathing suits that were in vogue in
the late COS.
Mr.. Kelly has son, and Mr..
Cohen has daughter that have
lots and lots of pep. Enough for
the business. So getting the papas
out Of the way, the youngsters re-
organize the business, and redecor-
ate and spend nearly all the money.
And then they stge beauty contest
at Atlantic City and offer as prize
their last $4,000 dollars. And then
the fun begins. Mr.. Kelly and Mr..
Cohen try to upset the basket of
nicely set eggs, so Miss Cohen, to
keep the money in the family enters
the beauty contest, and of course,
wins.
Cohen has been played by George
Sidney through all the pictures. He
still is the real comedian. Mack
Swain plays the part of Kelly in
this picture. And what a Kelly
But, understand, he is good. Part
of the picture is in sound sequence.
Kelly and Cohen settle their differ
ences so you can hear them, and
the sound of their voices add ma
terially to the comedy.
Vera Gordon plays Mrs. Cohen.
You have met her before, as you
have Kate Price, who plays Mrs.
| AACAAJ' -A11Cy bOU11 w 11ICC WOIk.
Rosie Cohen is played by Nora
Lane and Pat Kelly by Cornelius
Keefe. Their work is good, but Sid
ney and Swain hold the center of
the stage through most of the pic
ture.
In the Vitaphone presentations
Sam Coslow and June Clyde pre-
sent several songs that Coslow says
he has written. 1.-THE Show Is
Over" st Can't Get Enough OF
You" and Don't Be Like That" are
the songs.
Newhoff and Phelps present a
comedy in song and words that is
real clever. The sound picture is
named "Crosswords." There is also
a movietone newSreel and a cartoon
comedy with sound.
1.-THE Cohens and the Kellys" is
good for a laugh.

who gives up her social position to
become the irish leaders companion.
Wallace treats his lady friend very
rough, striking her in the face and
then kicking hei out of his den.
The story starts out poking fun
at the rubberneck BUSES that makes
excursions into New York's alleged
Chinatown where all the natives are
actors.
While one of these buses was
making a sightseeing trip, a real
tong war starts on the orders of
Berry. And there is enough shoot
ing in this picture to recall any good
picture of real war.
One Of the best scenes in this
rather diSjointed story is the
Chinese theater scene where Glands
gang sets off frecrackers, causing a
panic and real gun play, resulting
in Berry being shot in the arm and
several of the Tong members being
killed.
Another funny scene is the
funeral of the dead Tong member
of Beery's gang. A police escort
with machine guns and the like with
Berry in a high hat attend the
funeral.
The comedy element of the picture
is handled by a suffering reporter
on a large paper. Clever is this
character and good comedy relief.
Dessa Byrd has moved over from
the Circle for the week as guest or
ganist She certainly received a
splendid ovation when she started
playing. And she had just the
right idea this time. And she made
the audience sing and whistle.
The stage show features AID
Carter, cartoonist, and his various
characters are introduced in person
during the revue. Then Carter APP
pears and draws some of his
characters.
The show would be better if Davis
and his band had more to do and it
would be helped if Davis would
eliminate a very poor and point
less drama" stunt in which he
turns young girl into a singer.

SOON ENDED COLD
CAUGHT ON TRAIN

BY acting on the advice Of her
doctor, Miss Vivian Slower is still
another, like numbers here, who
realizes how quickly cold can now
be ended and how much needless
suffering a person goes thru by put
ting off the right treatment.
Miss StoVer caught a severe head
cold in the sleeping car while re-
turning from visit to her sister,
Mrs. E. H. Collier Next day it
started spreading thru her system,
causing high fever, rasping cough
and "achy," congested feeling in her
chest.
Consulting her doctor then, she
was advised to try double strength
doses of Ayers Pectoral and by
noon she felt like eating for the
first time since the cold started.
That night she was able to enjoy
refreshing sleep and awoke without
the "achy," congested feeling. When
she returned to the doctors for ex-
animation the day following, there
was no trace left Of the cold.

by the attending physician.

the gorilla is used for the same pur-
pose in both productions. In con-
sidering this type of movie we are
concerned chiefly with the one ques-
tion-does the story get one excited
ana are the characters tuned up to
that extent that one simply wants
to scream for the safety of the
heroine as well as the comedienne.
The answer is in the affirmative.
The cast in this all talker includes
some pretty we'll known names such
as Louise Fazenda, H. B. Warner,
Jacquehne Logan, Henry B. WAL
thall and others. Some of the
speeches are rather long. This is

his retirement.
DR.. Stresemann-Who has ranked
with the veteran AriStide BRAND OF
France and Sir Austen Chamber
lain of Great Britain in the top
ranks of European diplomacy-has
been ill for many months.
BRAND, Chamberlain and Strese-
mann have shaped the recent de-
velopment of European affairs, in
GLIDING the plan for revision of the
Dawes plan of reparations pay
mentS.
Stresemann's foreign policy has
been damaged by the abortive
Anglo-French naval accord, which
indicted the entente still survived
despite the German minister's long
efforts, to dissolve the wartime alli-
ance, and by failure to obtain evac-
uation of foreign troops from the
Rhine valley The evacuation of
foreign troops has been Germany's
greatest postwar desire.
The foreign minister also has been
discouraged by his failure to wean
his own folks party from mon
archism to conservative brand of
republicaniSm. He has been con-
tinually involved in differences with
the folks party leaders, especially
Deputies Ernst and Scholz, who are
unwavering monarchistS. 1t is be-
lieved Stresemann's retirement will
be a mortal blow to his party.
The leader of the Catholic party,
Ludwig KaaS, who now is minister
of economics, and Julius Curtius
of the Folks party, have been men
toned as possible successors to
Strresemann.

AUTHOR SCORES
MODERN 'FADS'
IN EDUCATION
Warns Against Danger of
Specialization; Parents
Blamed.

With tongue in cheek, John
Langdon-Davies, British author and
lecturer, talked of some of the mod
ern lads and fancies of education
and the danger that lies in parents
and teachers taking them too much
to heart, at the open forum at
d Kirshbaum Community Center Sun
day night.
In macnine-age, mass production
America, he pointed out, there is
+. ever present the dagner of over
specialization and standardization"
in the realm of education and other
fields where these things do not fit.
You have advanced so far here
that your teachers are all specialists
and the children all classified in
many instances" the speaker de-
clared. THAT latest I have heard
much about is the problem child
and the 'unadjusted girl
BIames Parents
This has suggested that I call
this lecture Problem Parents and
the Unadjusted Mother
I'm my opinion these two factors
have been primary in producing the
'unadjusted girl if there are any"
He pointed out that modern eco
nomic conditions have often forced
parents to work and caused them to
turn the children over to nurse
maids and others.
THAT is what we call the eco
nomic emancipation of women" he
asserted.
PIE. This condition accounts for the
numerous and growing school
age, kindergarten, e-kindergarten
movements, the speaker said.
Progressive School Failure
Il should not be surprised that
there will soon be a move for pre-
natal education" he suggested
Modern psychology gave parents
a. good excuse for not taking a hand
in the business of molding their
children'S early years, he continued.
There is the so-called danger of
mother fixation."
He declared the failure of the
progressive school, is it's inadapt-
ability to mass education; pointed
out the only alternative to mass
education is the old ariStocratic idea,
but predicted that with the passing
of years and increasing of democ-
racy mass education problems will
be nearer solution.

CHILD CAUGHT COLD:
PNEUMONIA FEARED
Worried Mother Grateful as
Doctor Shows How to Give
Quick Relief at Home

No longer is it necessary to stand
by helplessly when children's colds
bring fear of pneumonia. For hos
pital physicians now recommend to
mothers a pleasant home treatment
for colds-and hundreds of Indian
apoliS children have been given the
same quick, sure relief that came
to the little daughter of Mrs. Robt.
Gordon.
Little EStelle caught a severe cold
while out riding. On the third day
the child coughed so deep Mrs. Cor
don feared pneumonia and called
her doctor, who advised double
doses of Ayers Cherry Pectoral-
the pleasantly favored mixture of
wild cherry, terpin hydrate and
other ingredients which have re-
lieved even the most extreme chill
dren'S cases in the hospital.

millions of dollars worth of dia-
monds, they force Gilbert to go in
the desert with them on pleasure
trip. The escape is cleverly planned
and worked out as the touring car
of the Would-be English royalty turn
out to be a machine gun nest.
For about an hour we are concerned
with how our hero is going to out
wit the bogus EngliShman and his
fair companion. Gilbert's good looks
and his sex appeal finally gives a
happy ending to the story.
Many of the scenes show the ter
rible sufferingS of the party upon
the sands, the burning sands of the
desert. But the desert is not warm
enough to keep John from loving
Mary.
The best acting is contributed by
Terrence as the diamond crook. The
story is just so so, but Terrence is
a knockout. Even when he is seri-
Gus he is good for laughs. And Gill
bert is still strong on the looks.

Almost UNANIMOUSLY they
have chosen a hospital-tested
remedy which they k1eoaO is
dependable.
Out of all the preparations
on their shelves they selected
Ayers Cherry Pectoral, not
only because it has received
the highest possible endorse
ments from hospital cold
clinics and physicians, but
because of it's record in over
$4,000 Indiana homes.
