Down IN southern California, in
the beautiful, sun kissed Csrpente-
ria valley, valley safely sheltered
BY the Santa Ynez mountains, a
young Spanish woman named Jo-
gum Lgodi Ayala planted a small
grape twig in the year ls42.
And as the Years followed one
another the twig grew and grew
till today it Is the largest grape
vine in the world. At the ground
the trunk, which long ago ceased to
be a vine, measures ten feet in cir
cumference. AT a distance of five
feet above the ground its girth is
seven feet eleven inches. The trel-
lis, which Is completely hidden by
branches and runners, is 100 by 10
feet in dimensions, thus covering
about one-fourth Of an acre Of
ground.

In his new role Mr.. Bulger is tail
ored better with a part than he has
been for some seasons past, and the
combination Of the playwrights' ideas
with those OF the star insure some
thing decidedly original. Mr.. Bu1ger

present day. There IS that some
thing" about him which wins with the
average theatergoer. As a singer of
"patter" songs, Mr.. Bulger probably
has no equal and in this production he
has three excellent opportunities to
display his talents in three numbers
which the authors have given him:

other song hits in 1.-THE Man From
