be presented as the featured photo

especially created for the star by

abandon, and leaving in his wake
stream of hilarious laughter
His role is that Of a young man,
who believes that ankles reveal the
real character of people-particular
ly the feminine gender.
What more natural then that he
should fall in love with a girl whose
ankles are perfect! His troubles
begin when he tries to locate the
girl by identifying her by her ankles.
They increase when he finds her
and discovers that her father Is IAN
old business rival Of his. To further
complicate his romance, a rival
presents him with a baby and tells
the girl it belongs to Mac Lean.
Matters come to head when Mac
Lean gives the girls father a head
ache powder that turns out to be
poison. When he discovers the mis-
take, the girl and her father have
already started on q motoring trip
Still burdened with the baby, he
starts in pursuit-the beginning Of
a wild and hilariously funny chase.
Included in the cast are Margaret
Morris, Claude Gillingwater, Eugene

IN produced the Alaskan
epic, "Nanook of the North, y
has contributed another great,
spectacular cinema achieve
ment to the screen in Moana, :"
to be- presented at the Apollo

"Moana" depicts life and
love among the Samoans, as yet
untouched by the white man
civilization, and who live the
same dream-like existence to-
day that they lived when
Robert Louis Stevenson wrote
about them.
The cast is composed exclusively
of natives. Moana, son Of a tribal
chieftain, was chosen as the lead
ing player. The name signifies
1.-THE Sea-" and with his fine, grace
full physique he best typifies a slowly
disappearing race.
The story is based around the dai-
ly routin Of a Samoan family; their
methods Of hunting and fishing, in
which they risk their lives in q
matter of fact way; their habits of
work and play, their graceful ma
tive dances, romantic and appealing
native love affairs.
Flaherty and his corps Of assis
tants spent twenty months in the

ton. 1t was filmed entirely on pan

CHICAGO, December 14--Music of
the air, which the Summer brought
from many corners of the country
with an intensity and regularity sell

opened Winter season that tends to
produce unusual distance radio recep-
ton.
After the Winter of 19c5-26, during
which sun spots and the aurora
borealis kept signals at their mercy.
livening process, cold weather now is
doing what the unwritten rules call
for-providing better reception.
While no great accomplishments
have been made by listeners, they
which were absent most of the time
last Winter. In addition, tuning
through local transmitterS Is an easier
task for some receivers than 1t was
last Winter. when it was difficult even
to bring distant stations on silent
nights.
One fan has an hourly average of
as high as 20 stations on Monday
nights, when Chicago is silent. Last
Winter 20 stations in flve-hour
listening period was the rule rather
than the exception.
Quality of the signals also has taken
a leap forward. and loud speaker oper-
alton on other than local stations is
increasing. The improved atmospheric
conditions also have lowered the
amount of static in comparison with
last season.
A difficulty not previously so pro
