‘Soul’ Movie Shows Hollywood at Work; Norma Talmadge Proves She Is Artist

By WALTER D. HICKMAN NICE PEOrLE those movie folk. Yes? Sure. If you don’t believe me just take a look at “Souls for Sale” or the whitewashing of Hollywood. This movie is not an expose of conditions of the Broadway of filmland, but is really a delightful satire mixed with facts of working conditions in Hollywood, the film capital of the world. Any minute I expected to see some one start the day’s work with a prayer meeting <rr i service. There is f- * nothing really wrong with the movie industry. There are thoui* ajafett.; - sands of regular, V hard-working and • - s-F ■ ,1 industrious people , ' * employed on the M tijd movie lots. "Souls * vSj for Sale” proves CgkV \ V that the vampire v. V glances of certain '/* * J ■ wolnen means 4-. ' . I nothing to the r / I casting director, f t When a vampire 4 Jg becomes personal 1 in her attentions, - well, the vampire can’t vampire. ELEANOR That seems to be BOARDMAN the motive back of this movie. I am not "kidding" this movie, but I do not take the propaganda side of this movie seriously. 1 personally believe that the movie industry needs no propaganda movies. The industry is big and honest enough in its entirety to stand on its own feet. That I honestly believe. If things are "wild” in Hollywood, I do not blame it upon the industry, but upon Individuals. “Souls for Sale” is an intimate introduction to life behind the scenes in Hollywood. It does not defame the movies, but in an interesting way shows some of the hardships, physically and mentally, that movie players must endure. Many High Spots In “Souls for Sale.” Here are the chief high spots of “Souls for Sale:” The best handled fire scene ever attempted before the movie camera. Never been equaled. An entire circus tent is destroyed by fire. This is one of the wonder features of this movie. Intimate views of Charlie Chaplin, Hobart Bosworth, Erich Von Stroheim, Hugo Bailin, Fred Niblo, Florence Vidor, Mabel Bailin, William H. Crane, T. Roy Barnes, Marshall Neilan, Milton Sills and hosts of others at work and at lunch are shown. The excellent work of Eleanor Boardman as a tenderfoot actress who becomes a big movie star. The excellent work of Lew' Cody as the villain. The excellent photography. Facts and Melodrama Are Mixed Together. "Souls for Sale” there Is a good mixture of facts and melodrama. Rupert Hughes wrote the story, which was published in a magazine before it became a movie. It is a strange sight to see Charlie Chaplin direct an actual move, but that is what he does in this film story. Most of the scenes taken of actual stars are the real article. In the case of Chaplin he was taken while directing work on a movie which he directed in real life. Another intimate view of the film colony is given in the scenes devoted to lunch time in Hollywood. Lunch time in Hollywood is play time. These various scenes of every day SUICIDE ATTEMPT FAILS 111 Health Blamed for F.ffort of Mrs. Marie Neal to Take Own Life. Mrs. Marie Neal. 23, of 24<5 N. New Jersey St., made h*r third unsuccessful attempt to take her own life Saturday night, according to police. She will recover. It was said at the city hospital today. When she was found unconscious by her husband late Saturday she had taken poison. The husband told police that they had been married four years and had no domestic troubles. He believed 111 health caused the attempts to take her life. KAHN IS NEW SECRETARY Merchants Association Corrects Report Made by Error. The Merchants Association stated today that its announcement Saturday that Paul H. Krauss had beerelected secretary was erroneous. Ed ward A. Kahn is the new secretary.

life (not shocking life, but just the working hours of men and women, form the background for the principal character of the story as acted by Miss Boardman. “Souls for Sale” is the feature at the Ohio this week. The hill includes the third round of “Fighting Blood” and Schuyler Alward and his orchestra. -I- I- -IXorma Talmadge Acquires New Fame in Crook Movie “Within the Law” is now a movie with Norma Talmadge as Mary Turner. It is on view this week at the Circle. This one big feat is apparent— Norma Talmadge Is fast becoming one * of the most comsilver screen. In nc^s many ien ' Ifelpk more Intimate jji view of the early Jjj We see her in the while in prison. ’’ in the stage verNORMA slon we are told TALMADGE about it. When Mary becomes a “within the law” blackmailer the movie version makes a regular society queen out of her. And yet the movie version sticks pretty close to the stage story. “Within the Law” belongs to the better class of dramatic movies. It has been intelligently directed and photographed. A most competent cast has been assembled. I found much to enjoy in the work of Eileen Percy as Aggie Lynch, the famous chewing gum exponent. Here lc a well drawn and smart crook characterization played in marvelous style. We all expect big things of Lew' Cody and as one of the chief male crooks, Cody gives a definite and finely drawn characterization. Jack Mulhall, who is looking more like Eugene O'Brien every day, is interesting as the son of the owner of a department store. It is seldom that one remembers an individual characterization and yet that is true with the Mary Turner of Norma Talmadge. This actress gives such a strong and individual characterization that one Is bound to remember her above everything else.

Third Generation is Using Syrup Pepsin

No other Laxative can raplace Dr. Caldwell's la the coafideaee oi thoie who oie it HPHEBE are thousands of J- healthy, robust young men and vromen who have never in all their lives taken any other laxative for constipation than Dr. P arc n• ts were parents the little ones, effective in grownups, so compounded that elderly people, who are constantly forced to take a laxative because the intestinal muscles are weakening, find increased dosage unnecessai y. This wonderful constipation remedy has been used continuously for 30 years, and over 10 million bottles are now sold annually, the largest selling family laxative in the world! The cost averages but a cent a dose. Every druggist sells it, and under a guarantee to do as claimed or your money will be refunded. Millions of carefully conducted homes are never without a bottle of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin^

The “third degree scenes” have been as well handled on the screen as on the stage. These scenes are not brutally, but intelligently, done. My opinion is this—“ Within the Law” is a dramatic masterpiece. The Circle orchestra is playing “Pomp ajid Circumstance.” It is a beautiful composition, and is as beautifully played as written. The bill includes an organ solo, a comedy and a news weekly. -I- 'l' -IIf You Crave Romance Then Visit Smith’s. Some days ago in this department I spoke highly of "The Isle of Lost Ships.” This picture is now on view at Mister Smith's. In this picture we get a touch of the modern treatment of an old theme '■—a sort of a Robinson Crusoe affair. In this picture we have the services of many people, including Anna Q. Nilsson and Milton Sills. These two figure In many romantic scenes. The story gets its title from an imaginary island which causes Bhips to be *■ mysteriou sly • wrecked. In this t strange graveyard of lost ships much of the drama of ' Vi x* | this story is acted. Anything can hapMILTON SILLS pen in romance, and no one can apply logic to the causes promoting such strange things. I found much to interest me in this movie. It is good romance done in the style of the day. Here is one picture that will hold your interest from the beginning to the end. At Mister Smith's all week. -I' 'l' 'l' Stage Notes The Harlequin Club of Purdue will present “George Washington, Jr.,” at the Murat tonight. On Tuesday’night at the Murat, Mile.

ANY FAMILY MAY TRY IT FREE Thousands of parent* are asking themselves, "Where can I find a trustirorthv laxative that anyone in the family can use when constipated?” I urge you to try Syrun Pepsin. I will gladly provide a liberal free sample bottle, sufficient for an adequate lest. Write me t rhere to sena it. Addrrse Dr. W. B. Caldwell\ 5(5 Washington St. p Monlicello , Illinois. Do it now!

Mr. J. B. Belk of Shaw, Miss., relies on it entirely to keep his children in health, and Mrs. Cat herine Connolly of Jersey City, N. J., declares that not only herself hut all her neighbors and friends use it and tell others about it. There is scarcely a day that someone In a family does not need it for constipation, flatulency, auto-intoxiention, biliousness, intestinal poisoning, headaches, colic and cramps, and to break up fevers and colds. Dr. Caldwell’s Svrup Pepsin is a scientifically-balanced compound of Egyptian senna with pepsin and pleasant-tasting aromatics. The formula is on the package. As the popularity of this natural vegetable laxative increases, the public discards the harsher physics like calomel, coaltar In candy form, salt waters and powders. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin empties the bowels more cleanly and without any danger.
