"The Coming OF Amos" "The Road to

Recently she made her first talking

"Free and Easy"
But somewhere in that long and dis

millions fwomen is one Of life's trage-

congressman at Large. .

MANY of Americas ablest men have
sacrificed much, spent much, and
even drafted their friends to reinforce
personal efforts to get into Congress.
And many have done great deal more
than all these, only to find the doors
closed against them after an apparently
successful election. Such Is the fate
Of the heroic in democracy.
The good State Of Oklahoma-many
still think it Is only a Territory-has
produced q cowboy, however. who,
avoiding all the pitfalls that fate has
laid like traps on a golf course to snare
the would-be Senator or Representative
In Congress, nevertheless, without the
expenditure OF q dollar, or doing a
doubtful deed, or drafting friendly ad-
mirers, or doing any Of the habitual
things attributed to the average candi-
date for high legislative honors, has
just quietly and exclusively appropri-
ated the title Of Americas Congressman
at large and no one has ever dared to
dispute him.
This mysterious man, knowing that
this was popularity known as lame duck

can Congress, with but three short
months ahead, would be straining every
nerve TO provide the wherewith for the

Laughter and Adventure.

TN winning success as q playwright,
Owen Davis says he has followed
the simple rule Of giving the public
what It wants.
Love of laughter and craving for
adventure are inherent in every normal
human being" Davis believes. In his
plays he has striven to satisfy those
universal longings. The result is rec
ord Of nearly 100 successes.
His early plays were melodramaS, IN
which the adventure element predomi-
mated. Then he turned to comedies,
and found the public even more respon-
sive to the appeal Of humor.
One Of his best melodramatic come
dies In which adventure and laughter

o talking picture by Paramount under
the title "Only Saps Work." with Leon
Enrol. Richard Arlen, Mary Brian and
Stuart Erwin in the featured cast.
Davis first play was written In 1898
and for 80 years he has held q high
place among American dramatic writ
ers. In 1923 his "Icebound" won the
Pulitzer prize.

Rare Race Climax.

TWELVE expert horsemen on thor
oughbred jumpers compete in an
English cross-country steeplechase in
"Along Came Youth" Charles Rogers
new Paramount picture.
The race was run over rugged coun-
try in the Sherwood Forest area, 40
miles north of Hollywood. Among the
obstacles in the threemile grind were a
four foot stone wall with q 12-foot
water jump on the other side, hedge,
a fallen oak tree and a snake fence.
Rogers participated in the race, riding
q 5-year-old thoroughbred that holds q
Pacific Coast record with q 30-foot
triple bar jump.
In order to capture the full thrill of
the steeplechaSe, several camera set
ups" were made. Four cameras re-
corded the. star and followed horses and
riders away from the ag-bedecked pa
vilion into the woods. Other "set-ups''
were made at each of the obstacles and
at other points along the course.
The big thrill came at the wall and
water jump when Rogers mount ap-
preached the barrier almost neck-and-
neck with another horse. The animals
fell after making the leap. giving their
riders hard tumbles. Neither mounts
nor horsemen were hurt, however. Five
cameras caught this breath-taking bit.
