LEAST OF BORNEO" A NEW
 EXPERIMENT IN TAIIKIES OPENS SATITRDAY AT STATE

A motion picture set furnished with Oriental props valued at S1OO,000 was ussd at Universal City for a number of scenes for East of Borneo,' the drama which comes to the Warner Bros State theater on Saturday next, with Rose Hobart and Charles Bickford in the leading roles.
 The setting of the story is in the East Indies, and the exterior scenes were actually photographed in Java, Sumatra and the Malay Straits. Interiors were filmed at the studio, and this particular setting, representing the interior of an old palace, found the studio property men gathering many rare old Oriental pieces.
 The prize of the collection was a bronze Buddha standing nine feet in height, and valued at $25,000. Other smaller statues and statu- cites were scattered about the set, and Lal Chand Mehra, noted East Indian technical advisor, declared that the White Buddha," a small marble statue used in the picture, was one of the finest pieces he had ever seen.
 In addition to the statuary there was e great array of real Oriental furniture, the most valuable piece being a long ebony bench inlaid with mother-of-pea Rugs and draperies which were used also represented a small fortune, and sterling silver was used for table services.
 East of Borneo'' is reputed to offer something new and novel i'll talking screen entertainment. It has been drawing capacity houses in New York city where it is now being shown at the R.K.O. Mayfair theater.

1.-THE MIRACLE WOMAN" AND THE BARGAIN"
 AT THE NEW GARDEN

Barbara Stanwyck grows in dra- matic stature with every new pie ture. "The Miracle Woman" her current production for Columbia, showing at the New Garden thea ter for the last times today, gives her a role with a greater reach than anything she has yet attempt ed - and she rises to it magnifi- gently, under the superb direction of Frank Capra.
 A stage play by John Meehan and Robert Riskin supplied the plot, which revolves about a young girl who becomes embittered to- ward her fellow beings when her father, a minister, is deposed be- cause he is getting too old to hold the interest of his congregation. He dies of heart-break and some thing in the girl dies, too, for she lets go of her fine, splendid prin- ciples and joins forces with Horns by, trickster who says you aren't a hypo rite if you admit 1t, and there is only one side to be on - the winning side.
 "The Bargain" the First Ma tional picture which is'the unit at traction on this bill is the second of the Harvard prize plays. It was written by Philip Barry as You and I' and saw years run al the Belmont theater, New York The film cast includes Lewis Stone, Doris Kenyon, Evelyn Knapp, John Darrow, Charles But terworth, Una Merkel.

0OUBLE FEATURE PROGRAM
 ATT FOX POLL PALACE


 The Fox Poli Palace offers all new program to-day for four days engagement, with a double super feature program, the leading fea- ture will be "The Squaw Man with Warner Baxter and Lupe Velez, and the co-feature "The BE Gamble" with Bill Boyd, Warner Oland and Dorothy Sebastian. Cecil DeMille, always director fo paint on the screen in bold, strong strokes, has made an inter esting evenings entertainment from Edwin Milton Royle's famous stage play, "The Squaw Man..
 He divides equally. and contrasts with excellent dramatic insight thrills in an English castle and on an English fox hunt, with thrills on an Arizona cattle ranch.
 His scenic shots, done in a strik- ingly new way, are magnificent. am told he searched Arizona for weeks to find the spot portrayed
 Great, however, Es is 'The Squaw Man." visually, its most enduring claim to fame is undoubtedly us Remarkable cast of real stars, ana what they have done with the parts assigned them.
 Three great actors played on the stage and in silent pictures the roie of "Jim Carston," namely, William Faversham, Dustin Farnum and Elliott Dexter. None of these, in the writer's judgment, exceeded in strength and virility of perform ance the work of Warner Baxter. The work of Naturich as tho Indian girl, later Jims wife, IS splendid. It is a marvellous blend of inarticulate idolatry of man, and extraordinary pathos. Con trasted dramatically with 1t is Eleanor Boardman's work as "Lady Diana Jim's English sweetheart.
 It would take too much space to list individually, with adjecttves, all the players of this highly en- tertaining picture. Honorable men ton, however, deservedly belongs to Charles Bickford, Roland Young, Paul Cavanaugh, Raymond Hatton, Julia Faye, Dewitt Jen- nings, J. Farrell Mcdonald, Dickie Moore and Mitchell Lewis.

TWO BIG FEATURES ON | CURRENT BILL AT STRAND. NEW NAIIDEXILLE BILL SAT.


 Two great talking screen fea- lures are being offered patrons of Warner Brothers Strand theater to-day and tomorrow. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr, is featured in T Like Your Nerve" with beautiful Loretta Young. furnishing the heart interest. In this picture Doug is called upon for several feats of daredevil auto speeding. Not only does he have to drive several high-powered cars at reck- less speed, spin them around cor ners on two. wheels, then through gates, fences and into bridge rail- ings with nice judgment of cam era angles and safety for others as well as for himself.
 These feats, however, are not as risky as they sound. Before such scenes are made all conditions are carefully considered. Distances are figured to an inch, the weight of the car and its speed are allowed for and calculated in advance, the car brakes are tested, and nothing is left to chance.
 1T Like Your Nerve" is not a story of an automobile race driver nor is it primarily a story of reck- lessness on the highway. It Is an action-full story of an enthusias- tic young American who becomes involved in political and romantic intrigues while making motor tour of Central America. The cast includes Claude Allister, Andre Cheron, Henry Kolker, Edmund Breon, Boris Karloff.
 The CononanipD featllra is Mothers Millions" This picture presents a highly diverting and, at times, strongly dramatic story of folks who had to fight their wealth for their own happiness.
 The leading figure is fabulous ly wealthy woman with fighting heart, who beats the crooked man. ipulators of millions at their owr game. But hers is a fight for the happiness of others, and the man ner in which her triumph i! reached forms one of the most en- tertaining talking pictures of re- cent weeks.
 Frances Dade, one of the fast est coming youngsters on tho screen to-day, has leading par in the picture which was writer especially for May Robson, be- loved character star of the legti- mate stage. Others in the cast ol screen favorites are James Hall Lawrence Gray, Edmund Breese Elinor Flynn and Lillian Harmer Another great vaudeville bill i: booked for appearance at the Strand on. Saturday. Watch to- morrow's papers for the names oi | the headline acts.

rapidly.
To Beatrice, who had never thought
about whether she was fitted to q thing

revSaation. She had always thought
that because she was a poor saleswoman
she would be poor at anything else; that
the fault lay in her; that she was
stupid and incompetent. Now she woke
up to the fact that the fault was not
hers, but WIS due entirely to the fact
that though she had no talent for SELL

she had never used.
The girl who does poor work nearly
always does it because she IS doing the

FOOD PROBLEMS
BY SALLY MONROE.

There's all the difference in the world
between good and mediocre boiled
cuStard.
A good boiled custard can be made
with two eggs to q quart OF milk, with
thickening of cornstarch. A better GUS
tard can be made with three eggs and
cornStarch. One egg can be used, with
more cornstarch. Some people use four
eggs and no cornStarch, but personally
think cornstarch helps make the GUS
tard smooth and rich.
Mix the cornstarch in q little OF the
milk, cold. Heat the rest Of the milk.
When 1t is hot, stir it into the sugar,
and heat again, stirring the milk con-
stantly to keep the sugar diSSolvtng.
Then add the cornStarch, already mixed
with cold milk, to the hot mixture, by
the cold cornStarch. Stir constantly,
after adding the cornstarch. Some cooks
use double boiler. Some let the mix
ture slowly come just to the boiling
point, and remove from the fire. Then
they add the eggs, let the custard mix
ture just come to the boil again, and
remove permanently from the fire.
II you use a double boiler, let the
cuStard cook after adding the cornstarch
until it is smooth and thick, and any
taste of rawnsSS is gone from the corn
starch. Then add the eggs, and stir
until the whole thing Is smooth and
creamy. Always pour little of the
hot mixture on the eggs and stir 1t into
them before adding them to the whole
mass of hot custard. Stir constantly
after adding the eggs.
The proportions for good boiled Gus
tard are:
One quart of milk, one-han cup
sugar, one-quarter teaspoon salt, one
teaspoon vanilla, four eggs, one-half
tablespoon cornStarch.
One quart of milk, one-half cup
sugar, one-quarter teaspoon salt. one
teaspoon vanilla, three eggs, three
quarters tablespoon cornstarch.
One quart of milk one-half cup sugar,
one-quarter teaspoon salt. one teaspoon
vanilla, two eggs, one tablespoon corn
starch.
If you wish you can make soft-boiled
custard, with egg yolks and cornstarch,
without the whites, which may then
be used for a meringue.

The doctor who writes this letter

that Is, g series Of medicinal injections
at intervals Of q week, to bring about
closure of the hernial sac or opening,
and hence natural cure. This treat
ment detains the patient for only few
minutes from his ordinary occupation.
1t is SO simple that any physician any
where can give 1t successfully in his
Office. 1t is as inexpensive as q similar
series Of ordinary hypodermic injections
would be. Sometimes it fails to cure

cases. But II 1t fails, never mind. No
harm done. Better luck next time. This
is not quite the situation when the
radical surgical method fails. A sec

less likely to succeed than was the first.

successful as the first.
