"The name Cerebos means salt made from pure natural brine evaporated in vacuum, packed under ideal conditions and un- touched by hand. Enormous sales alone make possible a salt so pure at such" a reasonable price. It is so economical, too, because every grain is used.

The story, diffuse and dilatory, is an extremely difficult one to handle. There are too many characters, there is little or no action that lenda itself to screen treatment, and if there is plenty of broad humour in the character drawing there is very little wit.

There is one gem of a perform ange, lasting about a minute, by Max Miller, that is calculated to make any audience. rock" with laughter.

For the rest the story depends on "The period of The Song of Songs', which Miss Dietrich is now the harm of its characterisation, making, says: a studio statement, is in the years just preceding the World War, when the styles were lattering to feminne vanity.
