To Get the Best
Cough Medicine,
Mix 1t at Home
Saves Good Money,


This famous recipe is used by mil
lions of housewives. because there is no
other way to obtain such dependable,
effective remedy for coughs that start
from colds. It's 30 easy to mix-a
child could do it.
From any druggist, get 21a ounces
of Pinex, a concentrated compound of
Norway Pine, famous for its effect on
throat and bronchial membranes.
Then make a syrup by stirring two
cups of granulated sugar and one cup
of water a few moments, until dis
solved. It's no trouble at all, and takes
but a moment. No cooking needed.
Put the Pinex into pint bottle and
add your syrup. This gives you a full
pint of cough remedy, far superior to
anything you could buy ready-made,
and you get four times as much for
your money. It never spoils, and is
very pleasant - children love it.
You'll be amazed by the way it takei
hold of severe coughs, giving you double
quick relief. 1t loosens the phlegm,
soothes the inflamed membranes, and
helps clear the air passages. 4

TYRONE POWER, LORETTA YOUNG ROMANCE IN THEIR
PERFECT PICTURE TOGETHER, SECOND HONEYMOON

Acclaimed by increasing num-
bers Of fans with each new pic
tune as the most exciting sweet
hearts of the screen, Tyrone
Power and Loretta Young are CO.
starred again in Second Honey
MOON" coming November % and
23 to the Carolina theatre. AL
ready hailed as the merriest,
'marry-est" romance Of the year,
the film is said to be their per-
feet picture together. Their love
is news again, but this time they
mean it with all their hearts.
Love at first sight is romantic
enough, Tyrone and Loretta agree
but love at second sight. MINI
They fall for each other twice IN
this gay hit. After parting IN
Reno, they meet accidentally un-
der a thrilling Miami moon and
kiss mpulsively, to find they have
fallen i'm love all over again.
Having left Tyrone because he
was mad, irresponsible and gave
her no sense of security, Loretta
finds she wants him back for the
same reasons. But honeymoon
renewed is not SO easily accom-
plishcd as a honeymoon Reno d,
especially when Loretta's second
husband is considered. Played by
LYLE Talbot, he is a common gar
den-varicty of spouse out-bloomed
by the hardy perennial that Is
Thrones and Loretta's love.
There are others, also, who have
a say in the matter. There is
Stuart Erwin, who is crazy about
pretty Marjorie Weaver and, as
q conscientious gentleman's gen
tleman, wants his employer, Ty-
rome. to enter into a similar state
of bliss. There are Claire Trevor
and J. Edward Bromberg, a So
phisticated couple carelessly
throwing interesting little mon
keywrenches into the not-toO-
smoothly running machinery of
matrimOny.
The whole trouble starts, how
ever. when Husband Number One
and Husband Number Two try to
become friends. Tyrone arrangcS

a "progging" expedition, new
pastime of spear-fshing at night
under powerful searchlights, and
the entire party is invited.
1t is this expedition that proves
TO Loretta that her divorce was
4 mistake. But when she sets
about to rectify it, she finds ny,
rome apparently much interested
in Marjorie Weaver. The mlSun-
derstanding is caused by MISS
Wcaver's constant efforts to be
near Stuart Erwin, who in turn
is always near Tyrone. 1t requires
an exciting, swiftly paced climax
Of events to result in the only
proper solution.

Odd Gadget Gets
Novel Pictures

The modern candid-camera has
become notorious for its ability
to depict people in the most I'M
flattering poses and public figures
have learned to be always en- their
guard against the clicking lens
that will reveal they as they do
not wish to be seen.
Knowing this, j. Edward Brom-
berg has attached a pcriscopic &C
cessory to his camera, which en-
ables him to look in one direction
while photographing a scene at
right angles to himself. Thus the
person being photographed doesn't
suspect it at all, and Bromberg
has been able to amass an amaz-
ing album of people off guard.
Bromberg does not collect such
pictures merely for their curiosity
value. however. One of Holly
woods foremost character actors,
he uses the photos to aid him in
his delineations. That this method
has been successful is proved by
his excellent portrayals in the
many roles in which he has APP
