"Good for me

and my toofies too"

Most children suffer from some form of tooth trouble. This is simply the result of the habit of thorough mastication having been allowed to fall into abeyance. by the practice of eating soft foods only. Your doctor and dentist will confirm that this bad practice is respon. sible for irregular, crowded and decayed teeth, and for III-developed jaws and ugly mouths.

"Ovaltine" Rusks are so delightfully crisp and so de- liciously flavoured that children prefer them to soft bread and biscuits. They give the exercise the teeth need to ensure that these will be firm and sound and regularly spaced.

Remember, too, that "Ovaltine" Rusks provide whole. some and easily digested nourishment for building firm flesh and strong bones.

The finest wheaten flour is used in the manufacture of these delicious rusks. The addition of "Ovaltine" adds to their nutritive value and renders them easy of digestion.

CINEMA NOTES.

"THE LOCKED DOOR" AT '

THE QUEEN'S.

George Fitzmaurice, director of the all-talking picture **The Locked Door," at the Queen's Theatre on Wednesday, has a superstition that all superstition is the "bunk," to use a strictly Hollywood expression.

So, when a black cat insolently rubbed its fur coat against his legs during the filming of a scene at the United Artists studio, Fitzmaurice smiled.

Whon the feline walked in front of him and crossed his path, the. director rubbed his hands in joy. Ah! Good "Luck" exclaimed Fitzmaurice.

'Then next day studio officials came around and reported that he had accomplished the supposedly impossible feat of having "shot" ten minutes of accepted dialogue

scenes.

A remarkable day when it is considered that two minutes is the average of a full day's work. "Minutes" in the now sound terminology is the length of a sequence. In the silent movies film was measured by feet.

· Rod La Rocque, Barabara Stanwyck, William Boyd and Betty Bronson are featured in "The Locked Door." The picture is a vigorous mystery-drama of modern life..

"So This Is College," Apprehensive Culver City house- holders, aroused from slumbers by the crimson glare of flames leap- ing high into the sky, ruined a per- fectly good scene for Sam Wood's big Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer talking- picture, "So This Is College," now showing at the Queen's Theatre.,

of

Working at night on the back lot, Wood had a huge pyre box-wood thrown up and saturat- ed with gasoline for his football rally night sequence.

About midnight, when áll the microphones and cameras had been finally placed and--adjusted, the glee club and rooting teams rehearsed, he gave the signal for the interlocking system and the huge bonfire was touched off.

Alarmed citizens sent frantic calls to the fire department and the Culver City fireladdies turn- ad out with the usual clatter of bells and sirens. As the sound of the fire apfartus drew closer and closer, the sensitive micro- phones picked it up until it drowned out the collegiate songs and rooting shouts,

The firemen realized the "false alarm" as soon as they pulled up to the movie lot but the damage was done and the bonfire blazing merrily and quite beyond control for retakes that very night.

Elliott Nugent, Robert Mont- gomery, Sally Star, Cliff (Ukelele Ike) Edwards and Phyllis Crane play the leading roles in college comedy.

the

"Manhattan Cocktail" "Manhattan Cocktail," which is being shown at the Majestic, Theatre, Kowloon, has all the bright lights and thrills and the mysteries and sparkles of Broad- way and in addition it has two exceptionally bright stars lead- ing its cast, Naney Carroll And Richard Arlen

"Manhattan Cocktail," the story of New York backstage life, is the background chosen by the co- stars, in which they did ample justice to the selection. The flash- ing personality of Nancy Carroll

or

the sympathetic figure of Richard Arlen alone would have added lustre to any picture. The combination of the two in this dashing piece produces an excep- tionally fine picture and an joyable entertainment.

en-

In the early sequences of the picture, which deals with the efforts of a young college girl to break into the screen racket, Marian Morgans' dancers per- form beautifully in several scenes. Throughout the picture the life behind the scenes on Broadway is revealed in all its reality. "Manhattan Cocktail" is, if any thing, a realistic picture but it is also a moving, thrilling melo- drama.

Dorothy Argner is "Manhattan Cocktail's" director. She is the only active woman director in Hollywood and has produced this picture on a large scale.
