"This Modern Age"
With Joan Crawford
At Lexington Theatre

highly sophisticated and smart
story of Paris is told in "This Modern
Age" which brings Joan Crawford to
the Lexington Theatre for two days
starting Monday
Joan is seen as a young American
girl who has lived most of her life in
Paris with her mother. The two seem
more like friends than mother and
daughter, for the ltra-modern parent
does the same things her daughter does
When ..l her daughter finally falls in love
with the son of conservative Boston
aristocrats, it is this ultra freedom of
her mothers life that breaks up the
romance. The lover doesn't want a
girl whose mother runs around" A
series of exciting events lead up to the
denouement, which is capped with a sur
prise climax.
The picture, which was adapted from
the Mildred Cram novel, "Girls To-
gether," gives Miss Craford opportuni-
ties in the "whoopee" type of part with
which she has been so successful in the
past, although the story obviously has
its serious moments. Marjorie Ram
beau as the mother is also given a
chance for clever acting and the cast
also includes Neil Hamilton, who scored
with Norma Shearer in strangers May
Kiss; Monroe Owsley, recently seen
opposite Gloria Swanson in "Indiscreet":
Sandra Ravel, Hobart Bosworth, Emma
Dunn, Armand Kaliz, Adrienne d'Ambri-
court and Marcelle Corday. Nicholas
Grinde directed
Spectacular episodes include an auto
mobile smashup, an hilarious party in
the heroine's home, the swimming pool
scene in which the star displays her
skill as diver, and the final elope-
ment to Brittany.

DR.. Walter II. Eddy warns US

These conditions usually indicate
back OF the B vitamin In a childs
blet, and if foods rich i'll vitamin B
are provided the trouble can be
corrected easily.
Yeast Richest Source
Yeast is the richest known source
pf vitamin B, but 1t is widely dis
tributed in whole cereals, vegetables
fruits, nuts, eggs and dairy products
Although milk was regarded once
as an excellent source of vitanin
y, recent Investigations have shown
that this is not true.
Although heat has some effect on
Vitamin B as long as the natural
hcidity of the foodstuff is I'M
disturbed, as the acid is neutralized
destruction of the vitamin Is in
creased. The anti-neuritic factor is
much more sensitive than the anti
pellagric factor.
To conserve both factors, care
bhould be taken not to overlook
foods and to avoid the use of a
neutralizing agent wherever possible.
THE use of soda in the cooking of
green vegetables is a bad practice,
kor 1t is the means of destroying the
Yitamin.
Whole grained cereals are par
ticularly rich sources Of Htamin B
and they are one of the cheapest.
During the winter months the regu-
Jar use of entire grain cereal pro-
ducts Is an economical measure that
ENSURES an adequate supply Of vita
min B in the normal dietary.
