It is Jean Hersholt's first star- ring vehicle and he does excep- “ tionally well in the title role.

The story concerns this ‘family. The » son gets into trouble and ever | one, despite their personal wea nesses, works to get him out of + it. "The “Old Soak” shoulders the blame.

Yon 1 7 QUART OF WATER CLEANS KIDNEYS ‘Take a Ll!tlc Salts if Your Back Hurts, or Bladder Is Troubling You No man or woman can make a mistake by flushing' the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Eating too ‘much rich food creates acids, which excite .the kidneys. They become over- *worked from the strain, get slug- gish and fail to fliter the waste and poisons from the blood. Then we get sick. Rhenmatism, head- aches, ‘liver ‘trouble, mervousness, + dizziness, sleeplessness and urin- ,ary ‘disorders often come from ' sluggish kidneys. The moment’ you feel a .dull ache in the kidneys, or your baek ‘hurts, or if' the urine is cloudy, ofiensive, full of sediment, irregu- lar of 'passage’or attended by a sensation of scalding; begin drigk- ing & ‘quart of water each day, dlso‘get about four vunves of Jad 'Salts from #ny pha i ‘take a tablespoonfal'in a glass of water before” st;-and in 4 few days your kidneys may act fine.

MODISTE” AT PALACE TOMORROW Corinne Griffith, wh completed her latest First Nat al picture, “Mlle. Modiste,” makes known the curious fact that since she has become the producer of her own pictures she has not had the same leading man in any two as Conway Tearle. He gave way to Clive Brook, who in turn abdicated in favor of Holmes Herbert and Lloyd Hughes. In Classified” it was Jack Mulhall and Percy Marmont, and Malcoln McGregor vied for her favors in “Infatuation.” Norman Kerry is the ‘latest of the handsome men of the scree:| opposite the beautiful star. He enacts the role of the dashing French officer in “Mlle. Modiste.” This picture is an adap- tation of the famous Victor Her- bert operetta. Robert Z! Leonard directed. K. M. Asher was general manager of production. In addition to Miss Griffith and Kerry others in the cast are Willard Louis, Dorothy Cumming, Rose Dione, Paulette Duval and Dorothy Dunbar. “Mlle. Modiste” is at the Palace Tuesday and Wednesday. [“MADAME WANTS NO T | CHILDREN,” COLISEUM { One of the most joyous comed: dramas ever screemed, chrlm to European critics, is “Mat Wants No Children,” Fox Films production, a highly piquant and sophisticated film of modern ‘man-| ners especially as they apply to the dance ' crazed flappers and childless wives of . the lafger cities. The theme is that of the desire and love for children which moti- vate most ‘men into marriage and of the wife who refuses to have them. But 'instead of being ‘a problem play, the director, Alex- ander Kordd, who's splendid work in this production has won him a long term American contract, has made of it a hilarious comedy- drama. There is a lesson for all who will see this piéture Wheh has its local showing at the Coli- geum Theatre Tuesday, but m lesson 1is interwoven through some of the most humorous situ- ations that have ever set audi- ences lauahlng.

It had other effects, the first of which ,was to stimulate efforts especially in the United States where 75 percent of the world out put is used, toward production of rubber. Dutch rubber production increased percent within a few years. Tha British share of the world trade declined from about three-quar- ters to slightly more than one- half. American companies rubber from their own tions in Sumatra and Others bought plantations beria, and Brazil, original home of the rubber plant. One com- pany expanded its California acreage of guayule, a rubber-pro- ducing shrub. American manufacturers re. claimed used rubber, chiefly from old tires. Research improved | quality and increased the avail-| able quantity from less than 60, | 000 tons annually to 174,600 tons, or about 50 percent of consump- tion, in 1927. The American “rubber pool,” $40,000,000 organization, was successful in buying rubber and| storing it for use in times of ex-| pected high prices and in its psy- chological effect in restraining| wide market price fluctuations, that its life was extended from August 1927, to April 1, 1928. Dis- coveries wers made in the field of | synthetic rvhler, but while they indicated progress, they never were considered of sufficient im- portance to affect the world mar- ket. The British rubber planters felt other effects nearer home. They complained restriction had cur- tailed employment and hurt busi: ness generally, had increasedl obtained planta- Malaya in Li 80 encouraged smuggling and disre- spect for law. Worst of all, they declared, it had subsidized the| cultivation of rubber in countries ontside, the emplre. reports ghow that in maintaining prices ‘the Stevenson act was only temporarily success- ful. While prices rose when the act first became effective and the rubber trade grew panicky in fear the world rubber supply was un- der single control, it was only in 1925 and 1926 that the planters really profited. = Over-production and loss of markets increased London rubber stocks from 5,500 tons in 1924 to fl,flfl tons In 1927, In July, 1926, a definite price de: cline set in. « The average last year ‘was about’six cents a pound below the Stevenson minimum. .o — IN FEDERAL JAIL condi to back up, and then ram through | long | for| in | this is tha| 100 | | tlements, with a resulting ‘drop in prices | HOLL YWOOD DI VQRCE STARTED | | ald | hich had breken its way in when | Sult for divorce appears on the files of the Superior Court at Los Ange- les, Cal., bearing the nanies of Helen Costello and John W.
