fairies. totaling eighty-seven stories,
were told during the week ending
July IL by the city recreation de-

Miss Alice Carter and Miss Fran
ces Edwards, who work with the

Hero stories and tales of daring
and adventure prove the most pop
ular, according to Miss Carey E.
Scott, in charge Of the schoolroom
of the public library, who outlines
the weekly programs. Next come
mystery and ghost stories, then
fairy tales, myths and legends. The
journeying story tellers have a va
ried stock Of new yarns weekly for
groups of different ages and tastes.
Occasionally listeners are moved to
tell stories Of their own, which they
are encouraged to do.
Miss Scott states that the story
hours had increased interest in
reading so that the reading Of juve-
nile books did not fall off during
the hot summer, as is customary.

junior lightweight contender, Tracy
Cox, beat down Steve Smith in the
main go at FIT. Harrison Tuesday
night and the New England vet

groggy and Cox was credited with a

The reason for all the hurry was
that, after a long search for the
proper type. Director Jacques Fey
der was shown a test of Miss Evans.
"We'll start the picture and take
scenes without her until she ar
rives," he said.
The schedule makers on the pro-
duction figured so closely that Miss
Evans was wired to have her dinner
on the train before her arrival.
This slender young girl, still in
her teens, is picture veteran. She
was a child star with Montague
Love in the old film days. For the
last six years, however, she has been
Broadway favorite.
In "Son of India" she is seen op-
poSite Novarro as a young English
girl loved by him--a wealthy Indian
jewel merchant. How they struggle
against the bounds of convention
and race-to achieve happiness in
their love, is told in the dramatic
story.
The cast includes, besides Novarro
and Miss Evans, Marjorie Rambeau,
John MILAN, Conrad Nagel, G. Au-
brey Smith and Nigel de Brulier.
An extra fun treat will also be
shown at the Palace in the newest
all-talking comedy of Stan Laurel
and Oliver Hardy entitled Our
Wife," in which these two hilarious
comedians both marry the same girl.

city titled "The Blue Grass King

NEW YORK, July 15.--The most
impressive things in America, from
the viewpoint of Reri, South Seas
girl, imported by Florenz ziegfeld
for the new "Follies," are club sand
wiches, Coney Island, American
men, smart dresses and applause.
Reri, who spent the first 18 years
of her life on the island of Bora
Bora, has been here two months.
What she doesn't like about this
country she said today, is "beaucoup
automobiles" the humidity and the
utter lack Of Polynesian restaurants
serving Poi and raw fish.
She is enthusiastic about the
whole Of Coney Island but what she
likes most there is the device which
