Ovaltine' is prepared from Milk plus Malt plus EGGS-the essen- tials of a complete and perfect food. Eggs are particularly im- portant. They are highly nutri- tious and possess valuabic nerve- bullding properties which cannot be obtained from any other source. Moreover, recent selen- tifle Investigation has proved the remarkable value of eggs in the most stubborn cases of insomnia and neurasthenia. No tonic food beverage would be complete without the liberal use of eggs.

He's beautiful to watch. Hla twinkling feet and his lanicy legs are so nervous that they amount lo the inanimation of genius.
At one moment his extremities move so fast that they are practically invisible. At all times they are ex- pressive. Fred Astaire can talk with legs, he can laugh, cry, plead, show disppointment.

Whether you like it more or less will depend on whether you'd rather see Fred Astaire dance or act. My own feeling is that any fool could Act as well Fred Astaire, but that no one in the whole wide world con dance one half as well. No, not even Ginger Rogers.
