HOLLYWOOD, Aug. IT. Wp-
Shows of the week
Follow Your Heart" (Republic).
Marion Talley, Kansas-raised op-
era star, screen debuts opposite
Michael Bartlett in a we'll con-
structed musical, blending upper.
case and popular music.
It is one of the most ambitious
efforts to date for the independent
studio, and a strong bid to hoist
Talley and Bartlett to star rating.
Success apparently depends on
whether the public will accept a
large dose of opera, even when
spiked with livelier ditties.
Talley is surprisingly effective in
dramatic scenes, but the impression
remains she is a better singer than
actress. No one, of course, can
question the excellence of her voice
or that of the redoubtable Bartlett.
Most of the action takes place on
the lawn of an old southern man
sion. Story has Talley, the most
talented member of an impoverished
stage family, determined to give
up treading the boards and marry
safe and sane John Eldredge until
Bartlett comes along and upsets the
applicant.
Among Talley numbers are an
aria from "Mignon' and another
from LES Huguenots." Bartlett and
the Kitchen staff" bang out the
sextette from Lucia in sprightly
style among the pots and pans.
Best popular numbers, sung by
Talley and Bartlett in duet, are
Follow Your Heart" and Mag
nolias in the Moonlight" especially
the latter.
The Hall johnson (Negro) choir

the spiritual, who Minds About

man Powell sings only twice, and
Director BuSby Berkeley nicely re-
Trains from attempting to terrific"
audiences with supercoloSsal pro
duction numbers.
A notable feature is emergence
of demure Jean Madden, dark film
newcomer, as the chorus girl who
gets her chance and makes good
when the star goes haywire.
Story has Blondell who has CASH
ed in after shooting her husband
backing a show of which Powell Is
dance director on condition she be
starred. She Immediately falls out
with Powell, but is convinced by
Warren William, clowning as pro.
duction genius" that her anti
pathy is a psychologically submerg
ed manifestation of love, and pur-
sues Powell through the remainder
of the picture.
The chorus girl gets her chance,
and this time the dance director
does too when Blondell reverts to
type and shoots Craig Reynolds, as
the ham leading man.
Best line-Blondell to reporters
and police after shooting Reynolds
please see that my name is not

WHY PUT UP With
PIMPLES, WRINKLES
and A SALLOW SKIN?

So many women throw their
charm and beauty away Il look
years older than they are-because
they neglect common constipation.
They forget that badly balanced
meals, over a period of years, can
change how they look and feel.
Often their menus lack the "bulk"
needed for regular habits. Then
constipation, the beauty-killer, sets
in. Other effects may be head
aches, listlessness, sleeplessness.
Get "bulk" back into your meals
with a delicious cereal: Kellogg's
ALL BRAN. 1t absorbs moisture
within the body, forms soft mass,
gently cleanses the system.
Just eat two tablespoonfuls daily,
either as a cereal or in cooked
dishes. ALL-BRAN is guaranteed.
Try it week. If not satisfactory,
your money will be refunded by the
Kellogg Company. Sold by all gro.

WHITE SLAVERS
UNDER FIRE BY
EDGAR HOOVER

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. UP-J.
Edgar Hoover appealed for public
assistance today in a federal bureau
of investigation drive to break up
what he described as the fastest
growing crime in America = the
white slave traffic.
While every other major type Of
crime decreased in 1895, that of
dealing in women for purposes Of
prostitution increased Is per cent,
the FBI director said in a lengthy
memorandum.
During June, 1885," he said, there
were more convictions for violations
of the white slave traffic act than
in any month during the past three
years."
Hoover pointed out that in many
instances women rather than men,
are prosecuted under the act. Such
women, he said, are those who act
as a procurer or aid men in induc-
ing the victims to transport them
selves interstate for purposes OF
prostitution"
