BolaSsy Kiralfy Is name known only
to the older theatergoers, but more
than quarter of century ago the Kir-
alfy Brothers were the producers of
marvellous spectacular effects on the
stage. Incidentally BolaSsy was the
pioneer in the use of electric lights on
the stage.
I'm 1875 I tipped the wand and the
crown of the fairy queen in The Black
Crook with it, he said.
But it was 10 years earlier that the
budding manager of some of the biggest
spectacular shows ever seen in London,
Paris and New York spied in a Berlin
shop window the miniature batteries
which led eventually to the electrically
lighted festoons and garlands and cos
tunes of Americas first great beauty
shows.

In telling of his condition prior
to using it, Mr.. East said, Il must
admit that I was surprised at the
action of this medicine. In fact
I could hardly realize that it had
relieved me of the trouble I had had
for two years. My stomach was in
a terrible condition, there were times
when 1 could not retain the food
had eaten. Often after going to bed
1 would get deathiy sick and vomit
up everything 1 had eaten for din
ler. The pains in my chest and also
around the heart Smothered me. My
legs felt weak and at night I would
wake up in nervous sweat. I would
get up with a bad taste in my mouth,
tongue was coated and was chron-
ically conStipated. The medicine
used gave me no relief to speak Of.
l was continually belching up sour
bile and my stomach seemed to be
tull of gas. l saw so much In the
papers about MILLERS HERB Elk
TRACT that made up my mind to
give it a trial and l must admit 1t
proved to be even better than / eX-
pected. have not had any of those
sick spells since 1 began using this
medicine. Food I eat now agrees
with me, bowels move more regular
and l sleep sound at night. In short
l feel better in every way than 1
have for a long time and I don't
hesitate to give this medicine full
credit for the wonderful improvement
in my health. MILLERS HERB EX-
TRACT is worthy of the highest
praise and I for one can recommend
it very highly"
You don't need any pills with
this medicine; it is a real medicine
within itself, and guaranteed to give
results. A medicine you can take
three or four bottles without seeing
any results is not much medicine.

ONE of Hollywood's most engaging
- sights, from the viewpoint of it's
residents, is the arrival of a tourist
party, goggle-eyed in the hope of seeing
some real live movie stars in the flesh
Such parties, while diverting themselves
intensely, also furnish plenty of inno-
cent amusement to the more hardened
habitues of the screen capital.
Recently a sedan of a popular make
drew up to the curb outside the Fox
studio. Inside sat a middle-aged couple
and daughter of flapperish years; out
side was strapped and tied Heterogeneous
collection of bags, bundles, suit cases
and bedding rolls. Under the mud on
the license plates could be detected the
name of Middle Western State.
The occupants, wearing a grin of
simultaneous delight, triumph and eX-
pectancy, gaZed in seven or eight direc-
tions at once, awaiting a deluge Of
screen celebrities. AS it happened the
stages, between which and the sidewalk
was a passage with several windows
opening on the street. On the stage
Paul Sloane was directing new pic
ture and during a change in set-ups
the cast had wandered into the pas
sage, from which they observed the ar
rival of the machine.
Also wearing BrlnS, the players lneu
up at the windows and watched the
fun. Three or four extras in makeup
and British uniform came out of the
gate and went down the street, followed
by the enviouS glanceS of the tourists.
George Jessel got out of his car and
walked past, with Lois Moran only a
short distance behind him, but as both
were in street clothes the visitors re-
manned blissfully unaware of their
presence.
At irregular intervals other stars
strolled by. Edmund Lowe, in earnest
conversation with FL Brendel Farrell
Macdonald in a Western costume Janet
Gaynor dashing across the street to
another stage; Lenore Uric arriving in
her big limousine. But the tourists
showed no signs of recognition. Like
all tourists, they failed to know their
favorites when they saw them. And
the watching audience got a brilliant
inspiration.
