'Cimarron'Epic
Tale OF Oklahoma

X-Oklahomans to the front.
The epic tale of Oklahoma's set
tlement is the attraction at Fox I'M
perial theatre tonight, Thursday and
Friday nights, when "Cimarron,"
the most spectacular talking pic
ture of the year, is presented.
Imperial Valley has plenty of for
mer Oklahomans who will not want
to miss this picture. But interest
is not confined by any means to
former residents of the state. "Cim-
arron' portrays a vital chapter in
the history of the development of
the United States and the producers
have never varied from this idea in
making the picture.
A splendid cast headed by Richard
Dix is seen in the production. The
actors are important, naturally, but
is is the story itself that is of chief
interest. In addition to Dix few
of the stars to be seen include: Irene
Dunn, Estelle Taylor 0Mrs. Jack
Dempsey, Nance O'Neil, Rosco
Ates, William Collier, Jr., Stanley
Fields, and a score or more of others.
The story is based on the novel
of the same name by Edna Ferber,
greatest of American women novel;
lists. "Cimarron" is the sort of pic
tllre one wishes to see more than
once.

BAKER ENABLES
YOUTH TO HAVE
REAL BIRTHDAY

Bread cast upon the waters re-
and cakes.
That is what U. L. Martin, own
er of the National Bakery, believes
although the return as far as he
Is concerned was in the sincere
thanks of youth.
Some time ago bedraggled
youngster. apparently in his late
teens" dressed in badly soiled
uniform. entered the bakery to pur-
chase some bread. He volunteered
the information that he was MAX
ing his way as best he could from
his home in Texas to Stanford Uni
versity and had not slept in bed
nor eaten in restaurant for two
weeks.
For some reason he had not de-
sired to take money for his trip
from his parents.
1t was an old story with Martin,
who in recent months has been
nicked many times daily by trans
tents who were starving to death"
or thought they were. but some
thing about the youth made the
baker feel that his story was true
and that he deserved a lift.
In addition to the bread he
bought, Martin gave him buns,
cakes and pie, enough to keep
him supplied in food for several
days. The youth was profusc in
his thanks and assured Martin he
would never forget his kindness" :"
The baker dismissed all thoughts OF
the youth from his mind after his
departure.
This week he was surprised and
pleased to get the following letter
written from Palo Alto on Stanford
University paper.
h'Dear Sir:
II am sorry that I do not know
your name, SO that I could have
addressed you less oddly. I hope
that you are the man who waited
on me. and did me a great favor,
about half past five in the evening
of March o. I am the dirty, hairy,
uniformed fellow who came in at
that time and bought dozen rolls.

courtesy. That day was my twen-
ty-first birthday, and the pumpkin
pie I got from you was my BIRTH
day cake. And / want to say that
have never eaten such delicious
food. Once more. thank YOU"
