CAPITOL
Charles ‘Buddy’’ Rogers, whose
first great success on the screen
was scored In htat mighty epis of
the air, "Wings,” is again cast in
a similar role in Paramount’s all
talking romantic-drama of the air.
"Young Eagles” now shoring at the 1
Capitol theater. A thrilling picture
whose throbbing action matches the
superb sweep of "Wings", it is
further and materially enhanced by
that human quality which only ,
dialogue can give to character.
Buddy Rogers gives a splendid
performance as Lieutenant Gene
Banks, the American ace. As a mat
ter of fact those who have seen
this picture are as one in the op
inion that it reveals him In the
finest role of his screen career.
Jean Arthur, who played opposite
Rogers in "Half Way To Heaven”
is again cast as his leading lady.
She too gives an excellent perform
ance that is sure to win for her
many new admirers. And Paul Lu
kas, who also played a most pro
minent part in ‘Half Way To
Heaven” is cast as the Grey Eagle.
A carefully developed rol* Lukas,
endows it with sympathy and un- |
derstanding. Others in the cast who!
do good work include Stuart Erwin,

Doctor’s PRESCRIPTION
when system is sluggish;
costs nothing to try
When your bowels need help, the mildest thing
that will do the work is always the sensible
choice. Take a laxative that a family doctor has
used for all sorts of cases of chronic constipation.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is so pleasant to the
taste, so gentle in its action, it is given children
of tender age and yet it is just as thorough and
effective as stronger preparations. Pure senna,
and harmless laxative herbs; ingredients that
start a gentle muscular action. Avoid a coated
tongue, laden breath, bilious headaches, etc. Every
drug store has Dr. Caldwell’s famous prescription
in big bottles. Or just write Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, Monti cello, III., for a free trial bottle.
