 What the literary critics said of Elm erson Houghs famous novel The Sagebrusher" has proven true of the screen edition. a powerful release that is the attraction at Mauks Columbia theater today and tonight, namely, the fact that it has the quality of universal appeal.
 Universal appeal is the thing that made Shakespeare and Dickens inn mortal It is a quality that makes a story of a play or a book here and there today rise from the ranks of the merely good. and make pro- nounced artistic and financial success.
 Tn fact" as Mark Twain said be- fore he himself had joined the im- mortals. what Shakespeare and those other fellows did was easy enough. Just write something that is a mirror of human life and emotion, only better than life; make it what might happen to any man. but more interesting than ever happened to man before Paint truly, but color highly. Mix heart tugs with brain tussle and thrills tears with laughs in the rightp roportion. Oh, yes, it's easy-when you know howl"

YOUTH CUTS WRONG
ROPE TO PARACHUTE;
FALLS TO. DEATH

Dothan, Ala, June 5.-,Roy Scott,
10, of Headland, Ala, was Instantly
killed at Z o'clock tonight when he
fell 1000 feet from the airplane of
Max FORMERS, two and a half miles
from Dothan.
Young Scott came to Dothan to-
day in company with Irwin Cutchins
also of Headland, who was to make
parachute jump, but declined to
60 up at the last moment. Scott
agreed to- make the leap.
After circling the city and reach
ing an altitude of about 1000 feet,
according to eye-witnesses, a small
object was seen to fall from the
plane, but no one thought it was the
body of the boy. '''f3@"'5
According to Former, he did not
see Scott after he climbed out Of his
seat and swung under the plane! A
few seconds later, however; he
noticed the parachute hanging un-
derneath and flying in the wind.
Becoming alarmed, he began circiing
downward, flying back to the land
ing field where crowds present sig
nailed him to Land, when it was
found that the rope which had sup
ported Scott from the parachute
had been cut. e
A searching party later found
the body, the head and shoulders
buried in the ground. Several per-
sons in the neighborhood said they
heard the body strike the ground,
but did not know what it was. It
was supposed :.lat Scott cut the rope
which attached the parachute to his
body, thinking he was severing the
one which r:.eased it from the plane.
