In any event the mystery play has lost nothing by its tranference to the screen. There is the same mysterious murder and the strange opening of doors and panels in the walls.

Capitol The Thankesgivlng day show at the Capitol theater will bs "The Big Trail," which is one of the remarkable achievements of the talking screen, having been cast with the aid of 20,000 people. Its very immensity is one of its big attractions. There are others. Among the remarkable exhibits is an assault of hunters upon a herd of buffaloes. One wonders where at this day so many buffaloes were found to However, on government land where many are protected, the bison are said to be coming back.

Of course in the "Wild and Wooly" west there are still great stretches of uninhabited land so that territory could easily be found for the filming of such a picture. In all respects the Capitol's "The Big Trail" is one of the pictures of a decade and a worthy successor of The Covered Wagon." It Is being staged by a company that rises to every emergency and Includes John Wayne, Marguerite Churchill, El Brendel, Tully Marshall and Tyrone Power. Possibly Tully Marshall never did anything better than the eccentric trapper role in this picture which Is supplemented by a cartoon comedy, "The Detective." The appearance of a Scranton girl on the Ritz bill means unusually big crowds at that popular place of entertainment today.

The three have a mixed act with comedy snd songs and dances and a display of pulchritude. There is a talking picture on the bill which is a mighty strong entertainment in Itself. It is entitled "The Poy Off," and It Introduces as stars Lowell Sherman and Marion Nixon.

Included among the other five fea tures on the bill is the overture which Manny Stoll is putting over and which is entitled "Plymouth Rock." Harry Savoy is one of those natural comedians who finds It easy while in real life to make people laugh at him and with him. He has a capable as sistant and proves his worth, The Tom Lomas troupe is an entirely different vaudeville feature and is bright and entertaining. Jack Boyle and Jimmy Allman are a pair of originals and the black face chap is particularly unique in his dance touches. Adv.

If only 1,800 1 1 After SALE Friday with Style these schools where these examinations were made showed enlarged tonsils, that may be explained in three ways. First, some of the children had passed through the years of childhood when the, tonsils are normaUy large and their tonsils were already undergoing the physiological atrophy of normal adolescence. Second, probably a considerable number of the children examined hid already had their tonsils removed once. Third, the personal conceptions of the examiners may have been less critical of large tonsils than the old time ideas. From the Health Department's public bulletin It would seem evident that large tonsils are regarded in Chicago as infected tonsils.

FUR COATS A Real Fur Coat At Prices You Never Expected. Come In Early. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS What's the Meaning of This? The month of September, 1930, was outstanding In the history of this health column. I received more letters than in any previous month. Likewise I received more reprints from doctors reprints or pamphlets of their scientific contributions to current medical literature.

Of these there were 171,. and several of them were the work of Dr. Lewellys F. Barker of Johns Hopkins. I discreetly refrain from telling how many letters I received in September, because you would not bc lieve me anyhow.

But I wonder what Is the meaning thi great increase in the number of people who write to me for information advice abuot health matters? Has it any significance in respect to the late slump in business? Before you can draw any inferences you must remember that a large share ol correspondents write merely for the joy ot quarreling with me or for some such reason. You see, I never pass out symptoms, diagnoses or cures. That rather cramps the literary efforts of those who regard this as a kind of mail order medical clinic.
