HOT-TO-MOLLIE
....I went to a movie-talkie tonight.
Prqtty good show for only 50 cents:
in fact, it was easy worth 20 cents
during t'hese times of bread-andsoup
lines. The leading lady had a,
brogue that was a cross betwixt Ya:ikee
and Hottentot. Being a little
bit deef, I never did find out what
the plot was and why.
. .. ..The leading man sang most of
his stuff to the leading lady. He
had the sick-calf act skint a block
and the way he held his hand on
his chist when he was reaching up
for those high notes was something
miserable. Whoever invented a show
with singing what-you-want-to-say-to
your sweetheart instead of talking it
was a fit subject.
....Well, our money is gone, so let's
forget it. But what I'd like to know
is?why doesn't the theatre manager
try to keep the temperature of his
house more' comfortable ? Don't get
it into your head that he diddent
have plenty of good coal and a fine
x u-riimf. iic 11 ?a out tTOtii, ana riM
fireman ought to have the job- of
chief fireman for the Mauretania.
....For the first minute and a half
after I took my seat, the place seemed
pleasantly warm. Within 10 minutes,
or possibly 11 minutes. I
realized that I was being roasted.
It was surely *126 Fehrenheit plus
Centigrade. My celluloid collar began
to sizzle and, rather than start
a stampede, I removed it before it
blazed up. 1 then -unbuttoned my
vest (called west in Philadelphia and
Miami), and next I unfastened my
shirt.
....About that time, I think the
fireman shovelled in another half-ton
of coke, and I unhooked my union
suit and began to fan with my hat.
The lady in front of me was sweating
great goms of perspiration. Her
tiny handkerchief was not absorbent
enough, so she began to mop her
neck and back with her little rayon !
shawl. Then 1 heard the furnace
door open again and unbuttoned my
britches at the waist, hut she only
mopped somewhat faster.
....I don't think I ever before smelt;
so many different kinds of flesh
scorching at the same time in my life. ;
I could tell that automobile median- !
ics were suffering because of the oil,
odor, and the finest ladies in town
were likewise being blistered, as the
aroma of Madatm LaVouf's perfume
floated about in the air, and then I
smelt a blacksmith getting his, and
there were also some farmers and
some store clerks, but when the 2
legislators began to burn, I had to
leave. It's bad enough to freeze to
death, in a movie, but it's much worse
to baked* attve in one. The ushers
stood it all right because they could
ran out and cool off every few minutes.

t Take, for example, the experience
of Miss Ethel Burnette, stenographer
and office worker, of Richmond, Va.,
who says: "I had been steadily going
down hill for several years and
had become weak, nervous and irritable,
had no appetite and a good
night's sleep was aVmost out of the
question. I wa*s losing weight and
became alarmed about my condition.

strength, quieted my nerves, and now
I wake up hungry for breakfast and
