In- stead they see Miss Mingter in @ real drama picture which proves, her an artist in a new field of expression. “The Heart Specialist” is a Real- art picture and is genuine enter- tainment. It tells the story of a young inewspaper woman sent by her city editor to obtain a viewpoint on romance and of the surprising way she found it, and of enduring nature that it proved to be. Allen Forrest capably appears op- posite to Miss Minter, while Noah Beery, Carmen Phillips, James Neil and _other favorites comprise the supporting cast.. Capital entertain- was a concensus of opinion of those that have viewed the picture, “THE BARNSTORMER"” AT REX TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY ;. Every artist who acted in' “The. Barnstormer,” in which Charles Ray is starred, received a splendid oppor- tunity to make his or her appearance felt, for Mr. Ray accorded them ev- ery chance to do effective work. The artists were not blind to this and the result is a number of clean cut performances, each of which stands out prominently. Wilfred Lucas, ‘Florence Oberle, Lionel Belmore, Philip Dunham, Gus Leonard, Lincoln Plummer, Char- lotte Picrce, GeGorge Nichols, Blan- che Rose and Bert Ogord each gave his and her individual best and there is not a character in the cast which can be regarded as a weak oney They were all inspired by the work of Charls Ray, by the generous op- portunities accorded them and the patient painstaking direction of the star. As Liorel Belmore put it, “I'll never forget about it and when I talk about the making of “The Barn- stormer” I will always say ‘“them was happy days!” . “The Barnstormer” is coming to the Rex theatre as a First National Attraction today for an engagement of two days, Wife Helps Elect Hubby “After having been in bed hnll the time for a year with severe pains in my right side over the appendix, stomach trouble and bloating, which the doctors seemed unable to reach with medicine, and advised operation as the only remedy, my nurse ad- vised me to try Mayr's Wonderful Remedy, and its results have truly been wonderful as I am now entire- ly well and strong, and at the last election worked hard to elect my hus- band,” It is a simple, harmless prepara- tion that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and in- testinal ailments, including appen- dicitis, One dose will convince or money refunded.

In. his picturesque “Tableau de Paris” is to be found the | following passage on .the ‘“grippe,” written in 1787, which might have been written-today: “Almost .every year toward -the middle. of ' Noyember occur catarrhal indispositiohs caused by the presence of & huml d cold atmosphere ‘and fogs ‘'whilch': 'suppress transpiration.
