COLUMBIA-Vera Gordon, in
"The Good Provider."

"rhe Good Provider." which was
shown for the first time at Loew's
Columbia yesterday afternoon. is q
typical Fanny Hurst story and an
ideal starring vehicle for Vera Cor
don and Dore Davidson.
Little everyday incidents in an
everyday home are unfolded one by
one, a tear here. smile there, de-
picting a mothers love and fathers
unselfishness as they slowly go down
lifes road, hand-in-hand. Their
small problems become OF absorbing
interest because they are the ones
that each of US has to face, and there
is beauty and nobleness IN the
manner in which they handle them
that gives poignant appeal to the
piece.
The. slender thread Of narrative
which connects the various episodes
would seem rather commonplace II
detailed. but the charm Of the picture
lies in the fact that there is no for
NAL. hackneyed plot. The spectator
lives Of these humble Jewish people
much as il he chanced to pass their
way every once In while. He sees
them move into their first dwelling in
the new" country, ramshackle old
place awaiting the magic touch which

he watches them pass through heart
breaking crisis as their tiny daughter
lies seriously i'll, and then again he
sees the boy don his first long trous-
ers and proudly leave for school.
After lapse of years he finds that
rising prosperity has bealtif1ed and
modernized the old home place, but
that the children long for the city
and all its magic delights. And SO
he watches the old people reluctantly
leave the little country town to go to

fathers failing health and business

ever, and the last picture reveals the

RAIN ADDS TO LIFE OF
 IMPERIAL VALLEY SEA

INLAND, Cal, Jan. 2S.-The long blue sink of the Imperial Valley, California's great Salton Sink, added almost year to its life as result of the recent unusual rainfall in the Imperial Valley, according to observ- CTS at the sink. This lake, or salty inland sea, which now is about forty five miles long and some twelve miles wide, has been evaporating at the rate of about a foot a year. The recent railfall, however, not only brought out strange flowers in the desert, but refreshed the sea, ob- servations indicating that the des- ert mountain watershed drained suf- ficient water into the sink to raise the level of the sea more than eight inches.
