Old-fashioned Bessie The woman who slumps on certain days of every month has not kept abreast of the times. Midol has made painful periods a thing of the past for thousands of women! V Midol is not a narcotic. It does not interfere with the natural and necessary process of nature. But it stops the pain. It eases the organs affected in five to seven minutes. Furthermore, the woman who anticipates and takes a tiny tablet of Midol beforehand will experience no pain at all. Try to realize Midol does really end all suffering, even discomfort, no matter how hard a time you’ve always had. At drug stores, in trim aluminum case for fifty cents.—Advertisement.

TANTRUMS DUE FOR ‘GATE’ IN MOVIECOLONY Star Sniffers of Perfume Find Hard Sledding, Schenck Says. BY DUANE HENNESSEY United Press Staff Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Dec. 3. Stars who have tantrums when the proper kind of perfume is not wafted onto the set for exotic scenes and directors who rage when third assistants do not have the extras ready until 9:01 a. m. are doomed in Hollywood. Take it from Joseph M. Schenck, head of United Artists Pictures, that “temperament and bad manners are synonymous and people with bad manners don’t succeed in any line of business.” Slip to Oblivion “Pick out the famous and successful film figures of ten years ago and you will find that the ones still at the top are calm, cheerful men and women,” the man who has guided many truly great stars said. “Many of the ‘temperamental’ type have slipped into oblivion.” The sledding for so-called temperamental people has been growing rougher and rougher in the film colony with the advent of talking pictures. With every company recruiting new faces and proven voices from the speaking stage, temperament is becoming a rare gesture. “The people who win lasting success are too intelligent to be temperamental,” Schenck declared. Lubitsch Calm “I have neved heard of Deople like Mary Pickford, Doug Fairbanks or Ernst Lubitsch, to c.'te a few, losing their tempers, no matter how big the problem. They are courteous to everybody, on and off the set, and are the first to see the other person’s viewpoints when difficulties arise. “The other day I was watching Lubitsch direct a scene. There were hundreds of people on the set, everything seemingly in confusion. “There was some trouble with the lighting and orders were being shouted from all quarters. “Some of the director’s assistants were running around and seemed much excited. But not Lubitsch. He was the calmest person on the set.”
