FOX BILL GIVES
PLENTY OF
LAUGHS

s"The Ghost Talks" (and says
plenty at the Fox this week, and
you are due for laugh from the
time 'Camara-Eye Green, corre-
spondence school detective, starts
on his greatest case, until the mil
lion dollar bond thieves are turned
over to the police. This picture
marks another step forward in
the development of the "tallkie'
being the first full-length, all
dialogue farce comedy. To tell
the story would only lessen the
fun, so let it suffice that this
mystery thriller will afford as
many laughs in dialogue as in
humorous situations; the lines are
good and the voices record re-
lnarkably well.
Charles Eaton, brother of the
famous Mary, is admirably cast
as the young detective, as is Helen
Twelvetrees as the girl-in-the-case.
Earle Fox and Carmel Myers, part
of the villany, are easy and
natural at all times.
The stage show. a unit from
Fox Studio, is called I'm the
Spotlight" and features Omar and
Nagle, in a novelty offering; the
Lester Irving Trio, who accom-
plish great feaIs of strength; Al

Llora Hoffman, soprano, who sings
two charming numbers.

PALACE SHOW
WINS HIGH
RATING

Director Richard Wallace must
know his "Shopworn Angels" At
least the public will give him
credit for knowing them now
that he has put Nancy Carroll
and Gary Cooper together to
prove that good story and an
adnixture of beauty in woman
and perfect understanding in
man are not worn out vehicles
through which the world may be
convinced that genuine direc-
tors work is done for arts sake
rather than salary check.
In the Palaces current fear
ture, although it is a distinct
war setting doesn't that so
against any picture nowadays0
q girl that has led life Of shame
turns from love in a keeper to
love in a kind Texas lad about to
embark for an overseas battle-'
front. It is not remarkable that
she should do that. but the
manner in which she does it Is
remarkable. And it is more
peculiar to most traits in even
the most human of men that her
paramour should willingly give
her up when he himself has der
clared an undying love for the
girl.
Stumbling blindly into New
York's skyscrapers and lights, Bill,
the Texan, hitherto uninterested
in girls, finds Daisy leading a gay
life as a preferred chlorine. He
brags about her, to the camp boys,
and through aid of the girl over
comes their plan to put him to
shame. The Texan wins against
all odds, woos and claims the girl.
The minister is performing the
ceremony and is about to put the
final question to Daisy when she
faints. Terrible M. P.s drag the
Texan from her side and ship him
away. The girl returns to the
chorus, and, put in the back row,
she dreams Of the Texan on a far
away front.

Fighting ethe White Slave
Traffic." a picture dealing with
the traffic in young girls, holds
the prominent spot on the pro-
gram at the President Theater this
week. Containing a love story
Of human interest, it is neverthe-
propaganda tending to expose the
systematic methods @of an inter-
national vice ring with branches
in most of the large cities of the
world, and a Shiny crook exercis-
ing his powers Of eviI in every
nook and corner of Europe.
Here we have the story of two
young girls lured from home
through attractive offers Of en-
ployment. Caught in the web of
the Wolf" they battle to escape
a terrible doom, with the strength
of despair. They are rescued in
the nick Of time by one Of the
girls sweethearts with the climax
thrilling with a dramatic battle
between the members Of the un-
derworld and the members of the
police.
The picture is interesting at
ali times and there are moments
when It holds the spectator tense
with suspense. Made in Germany,
1t gives no information regarding
the names of the members Of a
splendid cast, and so they must
go unrecorded here. The produc-
tion is well presented and win
prove appealing both az . screen
entertainment and startling
revelation Of deplorable conditions
existing in some parts Of Europe.
Indorsed by the vice committee

DIETING HARMF Ill,
u. STOOD MEN SAY
Business Is Suffering From
Women's Quest of Slender

BY CAROLYN VANCE.

Dieting by women is causing disaster
in many lines of business, according to
leaders of the food industries here TINS
week for the annual session OF the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States.
The attainment of the sylph-like fig
ure, these experts say, is disastrous not
only to business but to the women them
selves. And in no spirit of levity they
have attacked the problem. They pro-
pose to prove to the women that they
are doing themselves as much harm as
they are doing to business by denying
themselves necessary food clements.

During 1923 there was a tremen...
dous lessened demand for potatoes,

is president of the American Fruit
Growers, an organization which deals III

percentage was so large as to actually

potatoes entirely. The potato is one

the most eminent authority to back

liable for the iron it contains and other
minerals and salts. If women value
their beauty they will not eliminate the
lowly potato entirely from their diet"
These men hope to appeal to women
through their vanity, when arguments

of strenuous dieting on their health fai

they lessen their attractiveness by not

Mr.. Grimes is one of the men who
are not content merely with denouncing
the dieting fad that has assumed such
tremendous proportions in this country.
He intends to demonstrate that he is
right. For this purpose he has en-
gagged Miss Florence Bussey Smith Of

relates to sugar Mr.. Grimes hopes and

"Such Fool Notions"

of the big white -four men bitterly COM

whole wheat bread, it will not make
them fat. AS a matter of fact, there
is practically as much carbohydrate,
the fat-making element in whole wheat
bread, as in white bread. The differ
ence in this respect is negligible. Whole
wheat. due to the bran it contains. is
more laxative, that's all. But it is just
as fattening as white bread. Many
physicians claim. too, that whole wheat
is too irritating to many digestive
systems"
