RIvOLI-sAN BENITO

William Haines, star of Excess
Baggage" Brown of Harvard" and
other recent hits, returns to the
screen in a distinctly different type
Of role in "A Mans Man." Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer's filmization of Pa
trick Kearney's famous stage hit,
which comes today to the Rivoli
theater at San Benito, as a sound
synchronized production.
The neW story, directed by James
Cruze, who directed Excess Bag
gage" and made film history with
The Covered Wagon" is a lifting
satire on Hollywood with Haines as
q youth with a correspondence
school complex, and Josephine
Dunn, who played opposite him in
Excess Baggage" as his sweet
heart, with movie star aspirations.
They get married and then the fun
is fast and furious.
Despite the hilarious comedy of
the story there is a delicate love
romance that runs through it, and
many human touches, some Of them
bordering on pathoS. Thrills add
to the ensemble.
Such vivid bits as the Hollywood
bungalow party, the showing Of
the premiere Of white Shadows
at Grauman's famous Chinese the
alter, with many famous stars ap-
pearing, snapped on the night of
the event specially for the picture,
and other vivid cross sections Of the
movie capital aid in making tie
affair interesting. '
Although essentially a Hollywood
story, it is without any of the ster-
otyped back stage views" that Oft
en- mark this type of drama.
The cast is a notable one, includ-
ING Sam Hardy Of Diamond Hand
cuffs" fame. Mae Busch, heroine Of
THE Unholy Three and others Of
note.

this city in memory of Marshal Ferdi-

mothers and widows of World War vet
Grams buried in France to make free
pilgrimages to the American cemeteries
in Europe and the battlefelds of the
World War.
Since the World War there have
been many simple pilgrimages by moth
ers and widows to the cemeteries In
France, but most of the bereft mothers
of America whose sons bodies are still
in have hnAn
do so.
Now, however, every Gold Star moth
er of a service man buried overseas and
every widow who has not remarked
since the death of her husband may
make the journey. The United States
Government has made provision for
conducting them on quiet pilgrimages to
the cemeteries abroad. Congress last
March passed law making the pill
grimages possible and provided that
all arrangements should be directed
by the Secretary of War and all eK-
penSes should be met out OF public
funds.
National Adj. James F. Barton of the
American Legion has asked that all
posts of the American Legion and all
units of the American Legion Auxiliary
do everything possible to inform moth
ers and widows of the pilgrimages. He
has requested that posts and units re-
port the names of the mothers and
widows of their communities to Maj.
Gen. B. F. Cheatham, quartermaster
general, War Department, Washington,
D. C. Full name of son or husband
should be given, the branch in which
he served and the cemetery in which
he is buried overseas.
Congress has provided that the pill
grimages shall be made by small groups
during the period from May /, 1880, to
October 81, 1888, and each group will
be in Europe for period of two weeks.

SYDNEY. Australia CP.-The lux
uriant coconut palms of Fiji are -four
ishing again, saved by white scientists
A small purple moth, Levuana Fri
discens, was the cause of the coconut
plague. When this moth swept over
the islands of Moturiki and Ovalau,
centers Of the copra trade. there was
no more trade and in a few months
the once vivid green of the islands
looked as If fame had passed that
way.
Four years ago DR.. Tothill, a Cana
dian government worker, went to Fiji
with two young entomologists. They
looked for some bug that would eat
Levuana iridiscens. They found in
Java a moth closely resembling the
Fijian scourge, and fly that attacked
this moth and kept it within bounds.
They imported the fly, Ptychomia, to
Fiji, and within IL months the coconut
trees began to recover. The answer i;
that the fly is thriving on the moth.
