CHARLES RCGGLES IN COMEDY RIOT "CHARLEY'S
 AUNT" AT STATE WED

"Charleys Aunt" an hilarious comedy of studentl fife at picturesque Oxford university, is the latest ve-. hicle of that famous player, Charlie Ruggles, beloved of millions of fans. This Columbia picture, produced by Christie, comedy specialist, is sched- uled to come to the Warner Broth CTS State theater for 3 days run beginning Wednesday,.
 Charlie Ruggles was a happy choice for the starring role. There isn't another comedian on the screen to-day who possesses that combina- tion of slapstick and sophisticated humor necessary for the successful interpretation of the "dowager aunt from Brazil This is the biggest role that he has had to date, all though his previous ones were all successful. They were roles that esta blished Ruggles in an unique position on the screen in spite of the fact that they were always sec ondary parts. Often he succeeded in stealing the picture from the star. In "Charley's Aunt he plays the title role and the wish of many a fan will thus be satisfied--to see Charlie Ruggles in a picture that is really his." June Collyer, Halliwell Hobbes, Flora Le Breton, Flora Sheffield. Rodney McLennon. Hugh Williams and Doris Lloyd play SUD- porting roles.

DR ROCKWELL HEADS THE ALL-LACGHING VAUDEVILLE
 BILL NOW AT THE STRAND

The vaudeville bill at the Warner Brothers Strand theater to-day and tomorrow is d natural if we've ever seen one. It's chock full of laughs from start to finish and headed by none other than our old friend, Dr Rockwell, who is as funny as ever in his lecture on health. Of course he has his banana stalk spine with him and tells you how dandruff is nothing more than overmasticated popcorn, but oh, there are ever so many more funnier topics in his new act which he appropriately calls "Quack. Quack, Quack."
 Then there are the Merediths, those two little unspoiled aristocrats of the dance W ho present a beautiful course Dr Rockwell finds fault with their work and proceeds to tell it to them while the audience howls with laughter.

400 FRAUDS EXPOSED

A small group of men working il saved American citizens $20,000,00 in the last two years by exposing medical and mechanical frauds through scientific tests.
 Known as "Collaborative Investi- tions," the laboratory is operated jointly by the United States le- partment of agriculture and the post office department to examine devices and connections which are sold through the mail on claims that are believed to be fraudulent, writes Edwin w. Teale in the Popular Science Monthly.
 More than 400 such frauds, calcu- lated to extract money from the pockets of the gullible, were tested last year. They ranged from rad ium glasses" promised to make the stone blind see. to "infrared r1y skullcaps," guaranteed to grow hair on a head as bald as an egg.

These cables were slunS through loops from bar or beam and the user was supposed to lengthen his spine by pulling down on the handles, thus lifting himself up by the neck. When the promo ter was arrested, he proved to oe only five feet four inches tall.
 At present. the catchwords most often used by the quacks are "elec- tricity," "radium" and "infra red rays" Electricity is the "come-on' word most frequently employed. Not long ago, the laboratory examined a device selling for $35. It was a small section of polished gas pipe with wires coming out of welded in plugs at each end. All the user had to do was to throw the pipe in a fish bowl, attach one of the wires to his wrist and the other to his ankle, and sit and rock in a rocking chair.
 The beneficial electric current which was supposed to be generated inside the pipe would flow through his system with its wonderful heal ing powers and cure him of every thing from chilblains to crosse When the laboratory scientists ex- amined it. it was found that the only way to see what was inside was to saw the pipe in two. When they did this, they found it was filled with sand and gravel.
