A cough isn’t nice, but when it interrupts the taking of a movie scene, it’s a calamity! The high tension of movie work makes smoking a vital relaxation. But we relax with OLD GOLDS, They're as smooth as the polished manner of Adolphe Menjou, who him- self is an OLD COLD fan. While they're the most enjoyable of cigarettes, OLD GOLDS mean absolute ‘fade-out’ for throat-scratch and smoker's cough.” (SIGNED) Node a cough in a carload?

Miss Eagels spends the rest of the time lying herself out of jail and re- covering the incriminating “letter” she wrote her lover the night of the bom- bardment. The husband never sus- pects his wife’s guilt until after she is freed, and the picture terminates just as the play did with a dramatic scene during which the wife admits her guilt and declares she will always love the man she killed.

A little girl is kidnaped, and in order to learn her whereabouts the smart detective arranges to have the gang kidnap a very bright little boy who is in his employ. The boy who pretends to be a deaf mute, is taken to the house where the litde girl is being held, and manages to get word to the detective of the gang’s hang. out. Being a bighearted fellow, the detective will not take an un. fair advantage of the kidnapers, so he goes to the house alone. In the meantime the mother of the little girl has arrived with the head crook for the purpose of ransoming her child, but she unfortunately forgets to bring any money which, of course, causes an argument. The detective hears the noise and rushes into the room, without thinking to draw his gun, and is over- powered in one of the worst stage bat tles on record. The rest of the action is just as con. vincing. Ruth Chatterton, (advertised as the star for box office reasons) does nothing more entertaining than to go about whining for her child and gen erally making herself the type of wife that accounts for most of the male patronage at Reno. Mickey Bennett is the precocious !ad who foils the crooks. Horatio Alger used to make a living writing books about little boys just like Mi 2 Don’t see “The Dummy” unless you have nothing else to do.
