CINEMA SCREENINGS.

NOTES SUPPLIED BY THE THEATRES

From her earliest days in pictures it was Joan Crawford's ambition to play serious dramatic roles. Tho reception afforded her starring film, "Possessed," resulted in Miss Craw ford's selection for the dramatie rola of Flaemmchen in "Grand Hote" al elar production which opens on Thur day at the Queen's Theatre, Hollywood officials have a way of granting Bars requests when the public supports the demand, and the Alm public evidently likes the vivacious Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer actress as well in character romances as in the flapper roles in which she scored her many prior suc cesses "The parts I had in 'Grand Hotel, Letty Lynton" and "Possed" wore to mo the most interesting of anything I've done," explained Misa Crawford In recent chat." "I was At quite a struggle to get the people the coast to let mo try a different type of role in Pald, which was adapted from Within the Law. The picture was successful but still they weren' sure that I should be given any more Berlous dramatic parts. I went back to the Jazz type of thing in 'This

Age' and then

had the good Modern fortune to get the assignment for that 1 Possessed'. I don't mean haven't liked parts like 'Our Modern Maldens' and 'Dance, Fools, Dance'.

I only mean that my chief ambition, from the days when I got my start in to do mors ma leal comedy, was serious character roles. And first had to convince people that I could do them." Emphatic denial of the old- time theory that marriage frequently Impedes a screen player's career is made by 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 ol iance. "Marriages of this type cau never be harmful she said.

parties are congenial and both inter- ested in their own careers it ought t be doubly stimulating to compete with each other, and it also ought to pro- vide a common bond of sympathy and mutual effort. The only time a mar- riage to another player can injure a pleture player is when the two aren't congenial or one of them has his eyes set on getting out of the movies in- stead of making good pictures.

It is practically impossible to fm- agine any funnier inchient being film- el than the bedroom scene with Ralph Lynn and Tom Walls in "Thark", which is now showing at the Centrai Theatre. It is a masterpiece of come- dy, both in a creation and characteri sation. The scene in question

"Strange Interlude"

C1

Daring buyurd anything yet achiev d in the history of motion pictures is Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's amazing pro- Juction of Eugene O'Neill's Interna. tionally famous drama, "Strange In- erlude" now showing at the Queen's Pheatre. Hitherto only the speech and actions of characters have sorved! to explain them to audiences, but here or the first time their innermost thoughts are expressed, leaving noth- ing to the imagination. It though you were taken into a secret chamber, free to explore its every corner and penetrate all its mystery. A long-locked door is opened and you step 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 fan- inating is the revelation made by Norma Shearer as Nina Leeds, whose subtlo power over three mon is not aly felt but understood as she shapes and controls their lives with startling resourcefulness. Her akili is ns great (Continued on Page 11.)

ANAEMIA

THE GREAT SCOURGE.

E is quito safe to say that by far the greater proportion of health troubles are traceable to anaemia-poor blood. One could almost say that

YOU ARE ONLY AS HEALTHY AS YOUR BL OD-STREAM.

In the degree that your blood is abundant, rich and pure, your body is nourished, your supplies of energy maintained, the condition of your nervos preserved, the normal functioning of your digestivo organs ensured.

When, for any reason, the blood has become scanty, thin or Impure, the general health falls below par. If the conditions is not corrected, then some specific ailment arises, selecting the weakest spot in the system to make its attack,

Hoaca, according to where the weak spot lies, annemia gives rise to nervous troubles, digestivo troubles, muscular weakness, insomnia, pallor loss in weight. The symptoms of anaamia are legion. Rheumatism and sciatica are secondary effects, traceable to anaemia undermining the norvous and digestive systems. Nervous dyspepsia causes blood acidity resulting in the accumulation of acid polsons in either the tissues or the joints.

The treatment for all that class of ailment result from anzerate conditions must aim 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 tried remedy, remoting both symptom and cause, is the ideal treatment.
