THE person to ask whether the
Il preparation you or your family
are taking for the relief of headaches
is SAFE to use regularly is your
family doctor. Ask him particularly
about Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN.
He will tell you that before the
discovery of Bayer Aspirin most
spain" remedies were advised
against by physicians as bad for the
stomach and, often, for the heart.
Which is food for thought if you
seek quick, safe relief.
Scientists rate Bayer Aspirin
among the fastest methods yet dis
covered for the relief of headaches
and the pains of rheumatism, neu-
ritis and neuralgia. And the expert
ence of millions of users has proved
it safe for the average person to use
regularly. In your OUR interest re-
member this.
You can get Genuine Bayer
Aspirin at any drug store = simply
by asking for it by its full name.

MORE THAN EVER

. Once you learn that oatmealis so rich
in Vitamin B for keeping ft*, is IT ANY
WONDER THAT THOUSANDS
STICK TO OATMEAL BREAKFASTS?
Many are nervous, poor in appetite,
system out of order, because their daily

Few things keep them back like a lack
of this protective food element.
So give everyone Quaker Oats every
morning. Because in addition to its gen.
erous supply of Vitamin B for keeping

Start serving it tomorrow for 2-weeks

The Great Waltz Opens Here
At National November II

Elliot S. Foreman, advance rep
reSentative for Max Gordon, ar
rived in town yesterday to COM
plete arrangements for the pre-
sentation of the huge musical pro-
duction of THE Great Waltz" at
the National Theater on Monday,
November IL.
There are numerous problems
that must be overcome before q
performance can be given.
His first job will be to inspect
the theater from back wall to box
office and report to Mr.. Gordon's
various chiefs of staff 'as to what
changes may have to be made. The
fly floor of the stage will be
checked for the necessary number
Of sets Of lines, the floor will be
exanined as will the electric cur
rent, an extraordinary amount Of
which is required for use in the
special switch board carried by
THE Great Waltz" company.
They will also look after the
auditorium of the theater to make
sure Of all the necessary connec-
tionS and refinementS that are
needed by this massive production
that filled the huge Center The
ater. Radio City in Rockefeller
Center, New York. Mr.. Foreman
served in a similar capacity for
Green Pastures" during its long
tours and previous to that has
been associated with many Of the
leading theatrical attractions.
"The Great Waltz" can only
play in cities boasting Of theaters
the size of the National. It's
tour is an event in the theater
and includes besides Washington,
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Detroit,
st. Louis, Cincinnati and Chicago.
In several of the cities it will be
presented in convention halls and

gage cars are required to transport
the scenery and effects used in
"The Great Waltz" and there are
approximately $50. people in the
company.

Cantor Urges Percentages For

Working on a percentage is
better for both the producer and
the player. It requires q smaller
financial investment for the pro
ducer, it will net far greater re-
turns for the player, and it tends
toward better pictures at a lower
cost. On q percentage basis, the
player takes a greater interest in
keeping costs down, works harder,
finds fewer reasons for delaying
production, and does everything
possible toward efficiency and

Stuff and nonsense. I very
much fear that Loretta Young's
illness will necessitate her retire
ment from the screen for at least
a year. Her very unfortunate
case proves that the old adage
"the show must go on" is fool
ishness perSonified. She hasn't
been feeling well for over a year
now and still she went on max
ing picture after picture until
her strength was completely
sapped. The same holds true for
the late Sam Hardy who, had he
listened to his physician and had
his appendix removed when he
was advised, would still be with
us.

Nice career, Michael ViSaroff

Twins Steal Show
It's an axiom that when the
headline act falls down in a
vaudeville program the whole bill
says. Likewise in a revue when
the star comedian can't sock over
the home runs, the other hits
count, but they don't make a
winner. And most comedians are
only as good as their material.
Bert Lahr, Mr.. Whites chief
comedian, is very good when the
authors provide him with a bag
of laughs. Unfortunately he has
no help whatsoever from Miss
LYDIA Roberti, who. for some
strange reason, is featured, and
fails miSerably in her every effort.
Nor is Cliff "Ukelele Ike" Ed

applause. The Richmond @box

rate for these charges of 1893 or an
increase over last years rate for
these charges of 439. The operation

increase of .061 over last years rate,

mind that last years rate, owing to
