Hope Increases

London, Jan. 2 R-Announce- ment that calcium treatment was being administered to King George with beneficial results raised the general hope today of steady bet torment in the monarch's condition.
 The promptness Of the patients reaction to the calcium treatment was regarded as a good sign. While the method of administration in the kings case was not made known 1t was assumed it was by injection with a hypodermic syringe into vein. It was believed that if cal cium were taken In nourishment througl. mouth it's absorption would be too slow and uncertain.
 The medical authority said the calcium would probably be used as a tonic for the blood and circulatory system. It would assist the work O. the heart and relieve it of the heavy strain of prolonged illness.
 Professor Edward Charles Dodds, whose analysis of the kings blood. coupled with Dr. l.. F.. H. Whitby's bacteriological examination led to the adoption of the calcium treat ment Is the eleventh physician to be called in to treat the king. He is also the youngest, being only co years Of age.
 Ouick Rise
 Professor Dodds' rise to the front rank of the profession has been startling in it's ran'dity. He won his first qualifyin~ diploma only seven years ago. Since then he has &C., quired numerous first class honors, established a high reputation in biochemistry and written several valuable papers on medical and chemical subjects.
 Among the reassurlng signs mark ing the present position of the kirg was the announcement that Sir Will Ham Joynson- Hicks. home secretary. was going to the south of France

Audrey Ferris and Myrna 10y are
the stars of '.Fancy Baggage, the
all talking Warner Bros. picture
which comes to Fox Imperial Thea
tire tonight, but movie patrons will
also be glad to know that George
Fawcett and Purr Mcintosh are also
in the east.
Beautiful leading ladies, hand
some, athletic men stars may be all
right, but crochety. grouchy,
grumpy old men like Fawcett and
Mcintosh are a real delight to most
Of US. These two lovable screen
players are recognized as Leaders in
their peculiar character roles. Off
the screen they are delightful gen
tlcmen, but once they face the
camera and the mike" their good
nature flees and they fuss and fume
until the picture is ended.
Fancy Baggage is a snqppy,
fast moving, riot Of comedy, with
nothing serious at all about it. In
addition TO the stars mentioned
above, such notables as Edmund
Breese, Wallace Mcdonald, Hallam
ColIey and Eddie Gribbon are cast
in important roles.
The story, by jerome Kingston, is
based on the even interesting battle
between youth and agc-youth,
carefree, thoughtIess and impulaive;
old age, cantankcrous. grouchy and
ready to question all things modern.
Fancy Baggage' will be liked.
