"Twin Beds" is a Jovial, rollicking comedy with a crowded apartment house as its scene, the complexities of life shared too closely with the neighbors as the framework of Its ction and intensely amusing human grbup of people as Its portrait gal lery. Its lines flash with fresh wit and new coined slang, and Its merit of clean, wholesomeness shines bo nlgnly over characters, lines and situation. Theatrical records attest that "Twin Beds" is one of tho two emphatic standing comedy hits. Lois Bolton and Virginia Fairfax will head the admirable company to be seen here.

Below is a picture of Eugene M. Pullen, a well-known carpenter of Manasquan, New Jersey. If you could see him at his work, par ticularly when he handles heavy timber, jumps and climbs around like a youth, you would scarcely im agine that he had formerly been afflicted with a rupture. Ruptured In Right Sitlc, At an early age, Eugene Pullen was an express driver. He handled railroad baggage. One day after delivering a heavy trunk on an up per floor he felt a pain in the right groin. The suffering increased and it was not long before the young man noticed the swelling. The doctor told young Pullen that he was ruptured and that he must either wear a truss throughout life or submit to a drastic operation. All surgeons know that hernia opera tions. with anaesthetics, etc., are dangerous; they may end fatally. Moreover, it is a well established fact that many rupture operations are not successful; the bowel soon breaks through the sewed-up open ing and protrudes worse than ever. Afraid of Operation. Like most others, Mr. Pullen de clined to take the risks of an op eration; the expense and loss of time had to be considered, too. Hop ing he might get a little better en couragefnent, he went to another physician who, to his sorrow, gave him even less hope. It was pointed out to the young man that unless the rupture were perfectly held all the time or the surgeon's knife suc cessfully used, he might expect an increase or doubling in the rupture with further complications, or the dreaded strangulated hernia which kills so many ruptured people. Victim of Trusses. The victim bought a truss, a hard, spring-like affair, the best he could get. It tortured him. lie tried an other still no relief. Ho was compelled to give up his express business. The hard tasks of ordin ary men were forbidden him. He became an insurance agent, in which position He did not need to do bodily work. For six years Mr. Pullen dragged around, using various trusses, hard, elastic, etc., with never any. con tentment. One day his mother told him something she had just found out. It was a simple and easy thing for him to do. He lost no time. Discarded His Truss. Relief came at once; he almost forgot that he had any rupture. Af terward came a cure a complete healing and, although years have passed and Mr. Pullen is an ener getic carpenter, working on build ings, climbing pver roofs, lifting lumber and such like, he is abso lutely free from the old hernia. He knows he is completely, lastingly cured. There was no operation, no lost time, no trouble —comfort and contentment from the very outset. He is a strong, cheerful-minded man. Valuable Information Free. The valuable information which Mrs. Pullen read in a newspaper many years ago and gave to her son, together with further Important facts, will be sent fpee to any reader of this who writes to Eugene M. Pullen, 1073E Marcellus avenue, Mannsquan, N. J., enclosing a stamp for reply. Mention the kind of rup ture you have, whether on right or left side and what you have already done in your effort to cure it. A legion of cases of all kinds of rupture in men and women, including in guinal (groin), femoral, naval, sep tal, etc., have been reported com pletely healed. Age seems to make [no difference. things that contribute to make this newest Hart release the best ever. In this picture the rugged actor Plays with his characteristic skill, bringing out the strong points with great talent. Thero is a thrill and a patriotic appeal to this film that la bound to please.
