FRIEND HUSBAND
 TURNED ROMEO
Gives Young Wife Ter rible Shock When
 Stages Party

It sometimes takes an awful shock to knock foolish ideas out of the heads -of young folks who are full of life's glorious youth, but that is what Laura got, the shock of her gay young life, when she came home and found hus- band Billy, whom she thought the su- preme, and possibly too severe, model of proprietary, all stretched out. from after effects of a gay party he had staged in. Laura's own flat, with her best feminine friend, and the feminine friend likewise knocked out from the same cause.
 Laura was girl who longed to go, she loved parties, dances and the gayer side of life, while husband Billy was perfect made to order home life man. On the other hand Banny was rega- lar little home loving wife, while 'hus- bank Jacks tendencies turned to gay frivolities outside of the home circle.
 1t was around the lives of these two couples that Avery Hopwood wrote his famous comedy Fair and Warmer, which stands out as one of the most phenomenal stage comedies of the pres E1t 4lAiGahkC7 anu We4o NA stantaneous success when first pre- scented on Broadway. It is one of those plays that live on and on, one that you love to see again and again and enjoy it more each time.
 The All-Star Jefferson Players will be seen in this great comedy all this week at the Jefferson theatre. The principal roles fall in the hands of Sel- mer Jackson, Tamzon Manker and Hal Crane, although there are other worthy parts in the play for other members of the All-Star Players. Avery Hop wood, the master playwright in the realm of comedy, has filled Fair and Warmer" with one continuous round of laughter from beginning to end. Un- der the direction of Hal Briggs, the production here will be up to Broad way standard, with the most capable cast of performers ever seen in this popular play in any city in the United States since it's first appearance in New York city.

In it are found painted mountains

which some have called the "sea

we find the desert s most beautiful

The Painted Canyon is about

"Our Essex business to date this

"Now that spring is here, and

we feel conservative in saying that

now if they want to be sure of the

"We want every motorist to reeog-

Essex and the type of car known as
Essex, and Hudson Essex is the
coach.
"The Society Of Automotive En-

coach, and has formally defined it
rs a distinctive type. But the best
definition is the one given by Hud-
son-Essex when they invented the
coach. 1t is car which gives clos

"There is a Hudson coach and an
Essex coach. They are just alike
in their comfort, their durability
and their .all-season usefulness. The
Essex is just so much Hudson, and
man can make up his mind on
whether to buy Hudson or Essex
coach purely on the issue of how
