The local motion picture tennis
tournament being played at the
Los Angeles Tennis Club, has
been the highlight of several
chuckily incidents.
For instance, Cedric Gibbons,
a smart tennis socker, met Crau
ford Kent in mortal combat. My
reporter said that for a set and a
half Crawford had Gibbons in a
merry-go-round and then suddenly
Gibbons discovered what was
wrong. Kent is a left-handed
player. Gibbons figured he was
smashing his returns to Crau-
ford's backhand. Which he would
have been doing had Crauford
been a right-handed SOcker!

BOY ANNEXES
HONORS OF
THIS FILM

Like thousands of other real
American boys, Leon Janney, a
13.year-old, handsome, blond,
curly-haired youngster, enter
tanned the ambition Of becom-
ing fireman or a truck-driVer.
But his dreams were shattered
recently when he awoke to dis.
cover that dramatic critics were
heaping laudations upon him and
were virtually unanimous in their
opinion that he. Is among the
greatest child actors to step be-
fore a motion picture camera.
This all resulted from young
Janney's excellent work in the
Warner Brothers and Vitaphone
production, Courage" a grip
ping story of mother love, which
is hailed as one of the outstand-
ing films of all time and which
has been booked for exhibition
at Warmers Metropolitan Thea.
ter, beginning tomorrow.
When Warner Brothers decided
to produce Courage" they en-
gagged Belle Bennett, famous for
her maternal roles, to portray
the mother Of seven children in
the picture, and selected Miss
Marian Nixon to play her eldest
daughter. Upon these two we'll
known players. the producers de-
cided to give the stellar roles Of
the picture. But they had not
reckoned with young Janney.
Cast as Bill Colbrook, the
youngest child, young Janney
steals the picture. Critics de-
scribe his Characterization as one
which truly depicts the modern
American boy. Young Janney
proves himself equal to the task
Of convulsing an audience with
laughter as a result Of his antics
with his pet goat or causing
eyes to we'll with tears in the
dramatic scenes with his mother,
when her other children are
threatening to leave her.

COMPLETE QUOTATIONS ON THE NEW YORK CURB MARKET

Domestic demand for copper Is
light with consumers apparently
waiting for q statement Of copper
stocks as Of the first Of the month.
Producers have been holding their
price firm at II cents O pound
with little Of the metal available
at 1OA cents, the point at which
some custom srnelterS have been

However, smeIters have not
quoted price Of 1OA cents at any
time, but have met this price,
when any business developed so
that lack of offerings at that
level may be due in part to ab-
sence of demand for consumers.
With buying virtually at 4 stand
