all-around funky in the Oldest hotel
in the village. This swarthy bachelor
is not an old man, nor win he ever be
young again, even if he does not look
a day older than he looked ten years
ago. 1t was sad to see his bent figure,
and withal that, comical. Juan had a
way OF walking with his head and
chest SO far ahead of his legs that it
seemed he would fall forward on his
face any minute. One actually waited
to see it happen, and much relieved to
see it didn't. One day this Don-less-
Juan was approached by the "Ameri-
can" and, knowing him to be some
what deaf, she cried at the top of her
voice; Juan without the DOM, if
you know of good girl who wants
work, send her to me-" Smilingly
(these wretched souls always wear the
shine of smile) he took the sonora
over and in his kind, quiet, nasal
drawl he answered good naturally:
"Todas son buenas" (all the girls are

one time bathing beauty for Mack Sen
nett, has lost none of her shapeliness
and has become a coincidence of high
order since she walked the beach. .
She does the honors IN this picture
and does them well. and parades her
form to the delight of the observant
sex and the envy of the hopeful one.
The picture is q bedroom farce
comedy done over from the stage SIC
cess. The story concerns itself with
the adventures of three couples and
three others at weekend party that
becomes hectic in the pursuit of an
ex-husband by his former wife and the
possession of chemise-a gift to his
former wife in the days of early in
fatuation.
The absurd plot is laugh-provoking
The sub-titles are snappy. Marie Pre-
Vost has freshness and charm and is
excellent both in negligee and with
clothes on. Phyllis Haver, another

those that gentlemen prefer" does
well, together with Harrison Ford,
who plays the pursued hubby. The

To say anything unkind about any
one at all is a most distasteful thing
to do. Things not kind are very often
true, and the truth always gives a
pain. 1t is painful to write about Che,
the mute poet. His ever smiling face
has eyes that aren't both alike, his
hands and feet are not altogether
straight, and he walks in a shuffling,
hoppy shimmy way that is rather
laugh-provokiRg. But there is the
other Che, not seen at first sight nor
at any other time if looked at Super
ficially-Che of the heart. He, too,
is a mental at the hotel, and he, too,
has a nickname-''the burro." II he
takes notion to quit his job he will
search for odd jobs. When he helped
at the flour mill and was paid with
-four he accepted most graciously, but
the following day when he was again
offered flour or money, he refused in
his mute, eloquent manner, which
meant something to this effect: 'I am
back on the hotel job and helped in

had meal at the hotel" The simple
hearted "burro" smiled all the while
he was making this clear. There are
youngsters who glory in the art of
provoking an unfortunate, and they in
dulged in it at the expense of Che's
feelings. They would turn OFF the
water supply when he wanted 1t to
irrigate the trees in front of the hotel,
OF turn it on when he was thru and
wanted it off. Their cruel teasing
robbed him of his perpetual smile.
After trial of this sort he was seen
to mount to the fiat roof of the hotel,
where he stood outlined against the
sunset sky. He was watching the
sunset. He watched that opaline sun
set bathing the valley nestled at the
feet of the Cordillera. So he stood
there, silent figure, alone with the
beauty Of a sunset and its twilight, a
dim figure, with hat In hand, and may
we imagine that he was thinking:
There is this beautiful thing in life
that l may look upon and enjoy with

TIME Guitarist is a blind man. He
never learnt how to read notes nor
the value of notes, yet he knows how
to keep time and play anything he
hears. 1t feels so different to come
to a ''baile" (dance) where the gath
ering is dressed up to the minute,
with few exceptions, and find the band
of small town Mexican musicians in
blue working shirts, khaki or denim
pants, rarely in full dress suit of
cloth. They are poor and what they
earn goes for food. Most of these
musicians play "lyrico" (by earl.
When their instruments are in tune
they play in a manner that is touch
ing. There is a sweet dreaminess,
sadness expressive of romance and
tragedy with all its delights and sor-
rows, WEAKNESS of body and soul, a
brooding over much that makes or
breaks their lives. The soft plaintive-
ness of their playing is an interpreta-
ton of their own human emotions.
While they play the liveliest of dance
music-say jazz-one is conscious of
their manner of playing it. The de-
lightful tum tum of the Guitarist and
his sightlessness gets into ones bones.

Tall, thin Pablo gained the admira-
sionSof many and scorn of few. Dur
irings5he flu epidemic years ago he
bathed twice daily in the river, build
ing fire on the banks to keep warm.
Every one in the village predicted his
death, but he kept on bathing and
living; others did not battle, the flu got
them and most of them died. Goods
will" they all said, Gods will that
tall Pablo should battle and live to
do it again" Pablo does not know
the value of money. He was never
paid with money for any work he did.
He does not know what it means to
buy or to sell. When hungry, he goes
into a house, asks for food and works
for it. Whatever he eats, he pays
with his labor. He never begs. At
times he obtains food from people
who have no use for his labor. No
one has checked him dp to know if
he paid in labor what he owed for
food he took that way. One day he
called at the small town store and
said: "Oyez, quiero fosforos" ('T want
matches"). The Mexican clerk didn't
sell the matches to tall Pablo. He
just gave them to him. Who expects
pay from Pablo? You see, he didn't
beg. He demanded Demanding is
not begging. At another time he was
rendered considerably happy by the
considerate storekeeper who present
ed tall Pablo with a new wooden shirt.
Some time after that he came around
wearing his old torn shirt, shivering
with cold for it does get chilly in
northern Mexico when the wind blows
from the north.
pablo, why aren't you wearing the
new wooden shirt?" In an humble
tone he answered. 81 gave it to some
one who needed it more than l do"
Hearing this, the same considerable
storekeeper offered him a pair of cor
duroy pants. Patron" said the Mex
lean clerk, don't give him the pants,
put them on him, or he will give 1t
to someone who needs it more than
he does" They took him to the back
of the store, dressed him up to be
sure he wouldn't give the pants to
somebody who needs them more than
he does. He stuck to the trousers.
