(Reviewed by Edwerd Wcitzol in Mov-
: ing Picture World.)
. Most o ftlii! situations and the hum
or o fthe five-part triunglo comedy,
"Up or Down,' are amusing, but the
author, Linn F. Reynolds ,niust have
been in a very whimsical mood when
he wroto it. It frequently becomes a
burk.-quc on westorn screen drnma
nnd ,if viewed in this spirit, has de
cided uqolities of entertainment.
George Hernnndcz Ha the reformed
house-breakor, is just the right se
lection ofr the part. Ho is funny any
way you want to look at him, and1
makes Dallas Alike as likeable an old
jail-bird as ever spent all llis vaca
tions in the seclusion of a cell. Mike's
one serious failing Is his tender heart.
It is always geting getting him into
troublo by prompting him to help oth
er people out o f theirs.
Ayoung novelist .barren of ideas,

out of prison nnd takes him west in
search of new mntoriiil fur n story, j

Ann Pennington, the dancer of 'Kol
lles" fame, has broken tlio taboo
even for football, and in her newest
Paramount picture, "The Antics of
Ann," she realizes an ambition of
hundreds of girls who have wished
in their hearts to take part in the
sport. In full football regalia, she
dashes madly towards the goal and
narrowly misses making a historic
touchdown. This is only one of the
many amusing Incidents abounding
In "The Antics of Ann," which will
furnish entertainment at the Arcade
theatre on Monday and Tuesday.

Relief from Eczema
Don't worry about eczema or othet
bkin troubles. You can have a clear,
healthy skin by using a little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, oj
extra large bottle at $1.00.
Zemo generally removes pimples, black
heads, blotches, eczema, and ringworm
sad makes the skin clear and healthy.
iCemo is a clean, penetrating, antiseptic
liquid, neither sticky nor greasy and stains
nothing. It is easily applied and costs a
mere trifle for each application. It is
llways dependable. '
