money-making pictures OF the lasi

The Miracle Man" and BENJAMIN
B. Hampton's Desert Gold and
THE Westerners, from Zane Grey
and Stewart Edward White novels.
1t is an interesting coincidence that
these three productions were made
at the same Hollywood studio, at.
the same time. While Mr.. Tucker
was filming 1.-THE Miracle Man" Mr..
Hampton was producing simulta-
neously Desert Cold and The

Carpenters, electricians and other
technical experts worked on the
three productions and once all three
companies shot scenes" side by

DO people chuckle or laugh out

the newspaper that appeals to their
sense Of humor or enjoyment of
sarcasm? Or is it only when the

woman responds with an outward
expression of appreciation? We
have watched people aboard trains
looking over humorous weeklies and
the work of the famous cartoonist
with stoid expressions on their

over with merriment internally. but,
if so, they effectively camouf1aged
their glee.

The increased number of ladies in
this court is an indication of the new
order of things" declared Mayor
Elect A. w. Chambliss, who presided
at the trial of prominent Kiwanians
on charges growing out of the alleged
misconduct of certain members on
the Birmingham trip. Court was
called to disorder by Bailiff Dick
Parks. The occasion was the semi :
annual ladies' night observed by the
local Kiwanis club. The place was
the summer dinner room of the Sig
nal Mountain inn. The time was
Friday evening.
The cool dinner room was beauti-
fully decorated with Japanese Ian
terms, while the tables, which were
placed in the form of U, were gaily
bedecked with bright paper hats,
which were later worn by the XII
wanians and their ladies present.
along with dainty cut flowers of vel
low and white. Places were set for
100. but the attendance was even
larger than had been anticipated and
additional places had to be provided.
Although the mock trial came as the
second feature of the program fol-
lowing the lovely dinner, from start
to finish the merriment was in full
sway. Those responsible for the
lovely evening were the entertain
ment committee-C. c. Nottingham,
chairman: DR.. Raymond Wallace,
Glen Young and L. o. Morin-and the
program committee, DR.. Harold Ma

tihcation tags from MacKenney

The attendance prize, which consist
ed in an order for an inner tube by
r. A. Neale, was drawn by Mayor
elect Chambliss. The second at
tendance prize. a scarf pin, was
drawn by H. w. Longgley. In ad-
dition there were some seventeen

ing candy, hundred piece dinner set

rim. Mrs. Hoyt Webb, Mrs. Ed

The court was faced by heavy
| docket. Herbert s. Thatcher was
the first victim of injustice. The
jury found him guilty, but added
that the punishment during the ex-
animation had been sufficient. The
charge placed against the Kiwanian
was:

ing the defendant to bird cage for
