THEATERS

"Footloose Widows,' the War
ner picture which comes to the Val
ley theater tonight and tomorrow,
is one of the best farce comedies
ever written. 1t is story of two
girls in a fashionable New York
speciality shop who decide that the
way to nab rich husband is to go
to big hotel in Florida, wearing
the gowns that have made their
shop famous, and to pose as wealthy
widows, footloosc and fancy free.
They go. And they run into as an
amusing set of complications as the
ingenuity of a farce writer has
evor devised.
The writer, in this ease, is Rea-
trice Burton. who also wrote "The
Jazz Bride The story has already
appeared in serial and book form,
but it is said to have achieved its
real fulfillment on the screen. This
is partly due to the clever adapta
tion made by Daryl Francis Zan
uck, but even more to the brilliant
lv sophisticated direction of Roy
Del Ruth, one of the several War
ner directors upon whom the subtle
influence of Lubitsch has bcea ben
eficently felt.
A fascinating love story spun
against the background of the far
west, with some of the most spec
tacular scenic effects ever recorded

This western narrative of adven-
turous romance has been treated by
the director. John Waters. who also

acterization in the title role. Geor-

the heroine. \ fine vein of com

DIXIE DOUBTSFARM
AID BY LEGISLATION
College Heads Agree Grow
erS Themselves Hold Solu-
ton of Regeneration.
~ The Associated Press.

bN fhe ASsp1dltu IIfS~
LOUISVILLE, February 14.-In a
compendium of opinion of college and
university executives on farm relief,
which it publishes today. the Courier
journal states that the majority he
lieve that agricultural regeneration in
the South must come through, the
farmers themselves without the aid Of
legislative articles
The expression of opinion compiled
nv the paper as whole urges re-
organization of the present credit sys-
tenn. which is blamed for the one-crop
method
A digest of the article continues:
Although cooperative marketing
with it's problems was the subject of
the Courier-JournalS original request
for university statements, practically
all of the professors who IN their re-
y,lies touched on guarantees or sub
sides viewed any method OF price
fixing" as simply inviting overproduc-
ton. Economically unsound, was the
general verdict.
"One of two university representa-
tives asked directly about the McNary-
Haugen bill said it was the OPINION or
many in his department that Presi-
dent Coolidge could not afford political
~ to veto the measure. we are pre-
pared to accept ii as something the
like of which we have never seen, he
said. 1t may or may not work. But
This department has alWa S. believed
that supply and demand control agri-
cultural prices. Not even cooperative
marketing has upset the law, although
it has reduced selling costs and inn
proved the farmers condition in
truly remarkable manner
Price Fixing Called Sound.
president George III. Colvin of the
University of Louisville said he had
not had time to study latest farm re
lief measures, but expressed opinion
that 'pricefixing' was sound.
IF. l.. Thomson, assistant profess
sor of agricultural economics at the
University OF Missouri. holds that sup
ply and demand determine prices OF
staple commodities. Padlocks on
warehouse doors do not affect the
quantity Of products available for
SALE he says. 1t is true that coop
eratives possibly will be able to favor
ably influence future prices by judici-
ously advising members regarding de-
sirable acreages.
That the general economic stu
alton in the South is good despite the
widely heralded cotton price decline, is
the contention of the University of
Arkansas, speaking through j. A.
Dickey, professor Of rural economics
and sociology.
