"The parts I had in 'Grand Hotel, Letty Lynton' and "Ponssed" were to me the most interesting ut anything I've done," explained Mits Crawford in a recent chat.

Miss Crawford who points
to the record of Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and herself (since their nuptials) to prove that neither party has derived aught but good effects from the al- iance. "Marriages of this type can never be harmful," she said.
"A born parties are congenial and both inter- ested in their own careers it ought to be doubly stimulating to compete with cach other and it also ought to pro- vide a common bond of sympathy and mutual effort.

"The Woman In Room 13" Three cameras and three microp- honce were necessary to photograph and record the nighty complicated and nusally long dramatic clash between Elissa Landi and Ralph Bellamy in the opening scene of Henry King's lates
x peitin, "The Woman in Room 13," which opens its local engagement on Thursday at the King'a Theatre. And oddly enough, the iriple
in microphones used this scenc are symbolic of the intense drama its out-come develops. The pre- mise of the plot i baned upon a jealous ex-husband's thirst for revenge. after his divorced wife ha found happiness in a new marital venture. His clever use of dictap- honea in obtaining evidence to carry out his ruthless plan brings about the climax of the gripping screen play and the undoing of this shameless and ngurul man, The Woman in Room is based on the stage play 13", which of the same name by Samuel Shipman. Max Marcin and Percival. Wilde, F said to give Miss Landi her best screen role to date,

portrayal of
the peasant girl in "The Yellow Ticket". Bellamy, in the role of Miss Landi's ex-husband, shares leading male honors with Neil Hamlition and Gilbert Roland, with Myrna Loy in the other prominent feminine part, The cast is complete with Walter Walker, Luis Alberal, Charles Grapewin and

It is practically impossible to in- agine any funnier incident being film ed than the bedroom scene with alph Lynu and Tom Walls in Thark". which is now showing at the Central Thontre. It is a masterpiece of come. dy, buth in its creation and characteri sation. The scene in question con cerns a haunted bedroom in a country houar, and Ralph Lynn and Tom Wals decided to sleep in it and settle the allly idea that te was visiau by oglas The wind howls, thunder and light. ning lends the right atmosphere, and the two neroes spend most releas night, numerous" "queer" incidents getting them out of bed at odd mo- menta. It is one long laugh. Tom Walls has the role of Sir Hector Hen- bow, a middle-aged sportsman with a very good eye for a pretty girl, anu his "balderdash-bunkum” type humour la riotously funny. Of course one has only to see Ralph Lynn on the scroch, to laugh and in Thark" he gives us the special Lynn brand of comedy and all you have to do is sit back and enjoy yourself,

A long-locked door is opened and you stop across its threshold with the thrill of a discoverer. The effect is so extraordinary that it becomes a human experience realized with shock- ing suddenness. Particularly Ins- cinating is the revelation made by Norma Shenter as Nina Leeds, whose subtlo power over three men in not aly felt but understood as she shapes and controls their lives with startling resourcefulness.

ANAEMIA
THE GREAT SCOURGE.
It is quite safe to say that by far the greater proportion of health troubles aro traceable to anaemin-poor blood. One could almost say that YOU ARE ONLY AS HEALTHY
AS YOUR BLOOD-STREAM.
In the degree that your blood is abundant, rich and poru, your body is nourished, your supplies of energy maintained, tho condition of your norves proserved, the normal functioning of your digestive organs ensured.
When, for any reason, the blood has become scanty, thin or Impure, the general health falls below par. If the conditions la not corrected, then some specific ailment arises, selecting the weakest, spot in the system to make its attack.
Hence, according to where the weak spot lies, anaemia gives riso to nervous troubles, digestive troubles, muscular weakness, insomnia, pallor loss in wolght. The symptoms of anaemia are legion. Rheumatism and sciatica aro secondary effects, traceable to anaemin undermining the nervous and digestive systems. Nervous dyspopsla causes blood acidity resulting in the accumulation of acid poisons in either the tissues or the joints.
The treatment for all that class of allment result from anaemic conditious must alm primarily at the rehabilitation of the blood stream. DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS Increase, Enrich and Purify the Blood.
This has been proved in so many countless cases over a period of fifty years that there is no doubt whatever that this old and triod romady, removing both symptom and cause, is the ideal treatment,
