Karloff Hit
Deals With
Death Cure
The world wants to stay young’
One of the earliest symptoms of
this earnest wish was evidenced
by Ponce de Leon’s exhaustive
quest in the sixteenth century for
a fountain of youth. That was just
a prelude to the now universal
search for some method of foiling
the man with the scythe.
For centuries, scientists have
devoted their lives in the effort
to prolong the life of others. Mo
dern surgery, a direct overgrowth
of this activity, has progressed to
the point where the grim reaper’s
annual toll has been cut in half.
The life expectation of a normal
ly healthy person has risen far
above the average of only fifty
years ago.
Recently, medical men in this
rcuntry and Europe, evolved an
cntiiely liew plan to forestall
death. Their experiments led them
to believe that youth could be re
stored by introducing monkey
glands into the human body to
replace aging organs. Except for
various quack tonics, the gland
ular theory represents the first
real step forward in actually res
toring youth.
Columbia Pictures goes a step
farther than the glandular theory
in Boris Karloff’s latest hit, “Be
fore I Hang”, playing at the Dol
ly Madison theatre. The horror
king of the cinema portrays a
doctor-scientist who believes that
old age is a disease and perfects a
serum to counteract its effects
and bring back lost youth.

CARD OF THANKS
We wish to express our sincere
thanks and most grateful ap
preciation to our many friends
and neighbors for their many
kind and helpful acts, their
thoughtful consideration and ex
pressions of sympathy during the
illness and death of our husband
and father.
