Richard Barthelmess must be par
tial to military roles for he dons his
seventh uniform in recent years in
The White Black Sheep" com.
ing to the Valley theater tomorrow
Dick wore the uniform of the
American Navy in "Shore Leave;'
the striking uniform of the West
Point, cadet in Classmates; the
doughboy drab in "Sonny;' the
robes of royalty in "Just Sup.
pose;" colorful costume as soldier
Of fortune under Oliver Cromwell in
The Fighting Blade;" and the
blue of the American soldier of the
Mauve decade in "Ranson s Folly
Though Dick appears in the fade
out of "The White Black Sheep"
as British soldier, he is first seen
as a gentleman of London and later
as a mute beggar of Palestine, the
locale of the unusual story.
Sidney Olcott directed the pro.
duction with remarkable all-star
east including Patsy Ruth Miller
who plays the colorful role of Zelie
the Greek dancing girl.
The younger generation come into
their own in 1.-The Midnight Kiss, u
Fox Films version of the stage sue
cess pigs which comes to the
Palace theater tomorrow.
This clever dramatic comedy pro
duced to the tune of so MANY laughs
on Broadway by John Golden and
which has continued its triumphant
way through the country, has lost
nothing of its cleverness in its adap
tation to the screen.
Rather it has gained in atmos

tions.
The Midnight Kiss is story
of conquering youth that bring.
home the bacon of success in the
/ picture and for the audience these
same youthful heroes bring genuin,
; entertainment that is decidedly nov

matter of bonding their land to fl
nance the valley power development
l.lan as. recently set forth in this
paper. 1Crowell wants the farmers
to communicate with him by visiting
him at the bank or writing to him
from their homes
The people promoting power de-
velopment in the Sulphur Springs
valley have stated their position in
regard to financing the plan and are
anxious to hear what the people
owning land in the area to be sup
piled with power feel about the
matter. Letters of communications
tc Crowell should bear directly on
the question of feasibility concern
ing bonding of Sulphur Springs val

AS stated in previous articles, the
bonding would come to about $40
an acre and would greatly Increase
the value of the land in the valley
