‘More Confessions’ Dowager Dufreese (sipping): These Martini & Rossi Vermouth concoctions are such a relief from cloyingly sweet potions. Lady Queensbury: As they say in Gerald's set, the snap of it is like a wallop with a velvet cushion. So granddame and sportswoman, clubman and chef convey succinctly their inbred taste for the dry, ultra refined tang of Martini & Rossi (non-alcoholic) Vermouth. And Jeems or Jeeves knows when it should be the regular Italian or the Extra Dry. Still more confes- sions are to follow right here. . ... Just as there is a fine distinction between Martini & Rossi and other mixers, so is there the delectable difference between this Vermouth of the Italian persuasion and this Ver- mouth with the extra dry French tartness. And one innocently, naturally is led to those adventures in beverages so fascinatingly described in “The Confessions of a Good Mixer” Send for Your Copy Tad Crane is reputed to have written these re- vealments while languishing on an Italian liner, but apparently with Vermouth as_ his subject, he could not forget his dear France. The elect through- out this continent are reading his confessions about things every adult man and woman should know.

MARTINI&ROSSI (non-alcoholic) VERMOUTH Sold by the Better Grocery and Delicatessen Stores everywhere Judging the Movies (Continued from page 19) UNDERSTAND that “The Potters,” to one who saw the original play, is disappointing. I have never seen the play, and I found the picture entrancing. For once W. C, Fields seems perfectly cast. the pathetically self- important Pa Potter, vainly as serting himself against the cal- lous disregard of his family, his performance is effortless and full of that comic—plaintive something that he shares with Harry Lang- don. Mary Alder, as Ma Potter, is also a perfect fit. Heavens, how tragically and yet how typi- frustrate each other! Domesticity, what a hair shirt! “The Potters,” for all its com- edy and happy ending, is as sav- age a satire as anything on the sereen short of “The Last Laugh.” Mexrer fans will enjoy seeing = their hero even in a conyen- tional French bedroom farce, for that is what “Blonde or Brunette” foots up to. It is a bedroom farce played a little more quietly than the average, as one would expect in a Menjou picture, with a very sweet old lady as the more or less innocent motivating personality. A better name for the picture would be “Foxy Grandma.” It is for Grandma’s sake that Henri Martel (Adolphe Menjou) and his present wife, Blanche (Arlette Marchal), and his d vorced wif (Greta Nis- sen), agree to t the old lady and pretend that Henri and Fanny are still married and the loving couple that she likes to picture them. Grandma is really quite sen- timental about it, or so she makes out, and insists upon seeing her favorite couple safely tucked in for the night, while Blanche grows more and more nervous, and with good cause. Henri, how- ever, is doing his best to pretend only, though almost every time he tries to sneak from Fanny’s room into Blanche’s there Grandma in the hallwa about some new trifle which may concern her guests’ comfort. One is glad when finally Blanche can stand the strain no longer and spills the beans. And if you want to know what happens then, go see for yourself. You'll find Adolphe the same smart, deft, suave comedian you have learned to look for. Say “Bayer Aspirin”’ INSIST!
