Why Is acidity SO ommon?
There are two chief reasons:
First-We don't eat regularly of correct COM

Second-Two many civilized men suffer from
constipation. Almost invariably acidity follows.

SCREEN NOTES
Gathered Here and There.

CCHWAB AND MANDELL, producers
OF the musical comedy Good
News" the Boston company of which
closed in New York last night after
playing 81 consecutive weeks, and the
Chicago company of which will close in
Baltimore next Saturday night after
playing 81 weeks, is predicted to reach
the million dollar mark In receipts by
May II. That ought to be good news"
indeed, for the movie producer who is
about to put 1t on the screen, with "all
sound" "all singing" and "all talking"
to recommend it in its new form.
The statement has been made public
that the net income Of the Fox Film
Corportion for the month of January,
1929, was $1,261 1902 after all deprecia-
ton and interest charges had been de-
Quoted, but before the payment Of the
Federal income taxes, and, 1t is added,
that Movietone features and news reels
materially contributed to making jan
uary the largest month In point OF net
receipts in the history Of the company.
Film Daily states that "Syncopation.
the RKO talking picture, has estab-
listed a precedent at the New York
Hippodrome with its showing switched
to the policy Of takers and presenta-
lions after years OF operation as COM
bination house. It is estimated that
1873, 900 people saw 1t, prompting the
management to hold it over for Sec
ond week.
Gov. Moody of Texas vetoed bill to
permit the operation of theaters on
Sunday because, he stated, he believed
It to be illegal, inasmuch as the Dill
would have legalized Sunday SHOWS
throughout the State, but would give
each municipality the right by ordi-
nance to bar them.
Silent films set the styles in cloth
ing and influenced American customs
in living, and the audible pictures are
going to do the same thing with talk
ing fashions, according to a recent
statement in the press attributed TO
Jesse L. Lasky, who added. 1t is re.
ported, "I look for better English and
clearer enunciation as the result OF
dialogue films" Further, he is also
credited with saying: IF all Of our pop
ular stars let their hair grow long, they
could end the bobbed hair vogue In
short order. Slipshod speech modes can
be influenced in the same manner" In
brief. it would seem the movie influence
is all powerful"
Production at Paramount's Long Is
land studio Is said to be set for Is all
talking pictures a year. ana, WIN the
bulk Of the company's short subject pro-
6uction now concentrated at this plant,
about 100 shorts are scheduled for the
current year. Most of the scoring OF
Paramount pictures will be done at the
Eastern studio.
Charles King is to be starred by
