Former Governor
Endorses Sarpon

Former Governor Clifford Walker OF
Georgia, twice honored with the high
est office the people of his state could
give him, is prominent among the
thousands of we'll known men and
women throughout America who have
publicly expressed their gratitude FOR
benefits they have obtained from the
use Of Sargon. He recently said:
Not being stalwart in physical
strength, it has been my custom for
several years to recoup my physical
energies at each change Of season
with some tonic Owing to close con-
flnement in my office, and rather sed-
entary habits Of life my physical con-
dition was such that I decided to take
a course Of treatment at Battle Creek.
During recent years, in fact, ! have
been compelled to resort almost con-
tinually TO laxatives and other spec
ial hygienic measures to maintain my
health,s-;
This season friend OF mine sug-
gested Sargon. | was convinced from
literature which ! read that it was a
scientifically prepared product and de-
Slued 10 Try IL.
Almost from the start its invigor-
ating effects were noticeable seemed
more alert, my appetite improved, my
capacity Tor work was increased and
! was conscious of feeling Of gen
eral well-being have gotten by the
summer and am now entering the
fall season with more energy and in
better physical tone than I have ex-
perienced in many years.
From my own experience | am con-
WINGED that Sargon contains certain
therapeutic agents which are highly
valuable wherever tonic impression
is required, and also for their influence
upon the appetite and digestion. From
its effects in my case cheerfully rec
ommend it as tonic and corrective

We could use help to increase our

thank you, without help. We we're

LOVE IN THE
ROUGH" AT PALACE

Love in the Rough" which comes
today at the Palace as a new
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer Offering, is a
perturbation of the stage musical
comedy, Spring Fever" by Vincent
Lawrence.
1t has, however, new dialogue by
Joe Farnham and Robert E. Hop
kinS and a complete new musical
score by Dorothy Fields and Jimmy
McHugh.
The production is of particular
interest in featuring Robert Mont
gomery. whose rapid ascent to film
popularity has resulted in rumors
to the effect that he will be starred
in his next picture.
Montgomery, a juvenile of the
New York stage. made his film debut
about a year ago in $50 This Is
College
The feminine lead is played by
Dorothy Jordan, who deserts her
erstwhile costume roles TO depict a
modern debutante who forgiveS her
sutton for being pennileSS when he
wins golf championship.
Miss Jordan, a musical comedy
ingenue, made her screen bow in
The Tanning of the Shrew" with
Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pick
ford.
The picture, filmed almost all
out-of-doorS, with beautiful scenic
backgrounds on fashionable golf
links, presents a new form of film
entertainment, being strictly a
musical comedy, yet devoid of
chorus intrusionS and other devices
and licenses Of the stage. 1t in

CANTOR MOVIE
NOW AT THE OHIO

"Whoopee," the first screen mu-
steal comedy to which Florenz Zieg-
field gave his own personal super
vision and skill in stagecraft, opened
Friday at the Ohio theater for an
engagement of one week. WHO'D
pee is continuation of Eddie Can
tors stage success that ran for more
than year at the New Amsterdam
theater III New York.
1t has been transcribed bodily to
the screen, with its huge Spectacles
magnifled in size and beauty with
the magic of Technicolor to give it
reality. Samuel Goldwyn, who has
produced the picture, claims that
it is the first perfect all-color ci-
nema extravaganza.
Despite its mammoth size. ''Whoo-
pee" is still the same intimate COM
edy that, as THE Nervous Wreck"
was one of the most amusing plays
ever written. Ziegfeld managed to
retain the humor of the original
story when he set it on the stage
of the New Amsterdam, with music
and song and hundreds of beautiful
girls.
