LOIS MORAN AT HER BEST

A great show, staged with all the lavishness and colour of a Broadway; production, is "Words and Music," movistona musical revue which will

Tuneful songs, A well-balanced cast, gorgeous coatomies and a beau- tiful collection of girls in ensembles give this production rank with Broadway's best,

Lois Moran and Tom Patricola heap individual honours on them- selves. Miss Moran, making her musical comedy debut, establishes herself as a pretty singer and dancer. Patricola, well-known in vaudeville, arouses some enthusiasm with his snappy "Steppin' Along" number.

"Words and Music" is superlative in cast, music, staging and dancing, and is certain to prove a popular

"DYNAMITE"

"Artificial Sunburn" is the latest complication to come into the lives of picture players.

It arrived when "talkies" forced the abandonment of the "noisy" carbon are lights, for the silent incandescent globus now in use. However, the carbon light was, "cold" while the incandescents operate on human skin exactly as does the sun
