Attends Funerals, Finds
Tough Going In Iowa

Ambrose Bauer returned last
week from a trip to Iowa that he
will not soon forget. He was sum-
moned by the death of a sister
near independence and upon ar
irving there learned of the death
of an uncle at Martell. He went
by train by way of the Twin Cities,
accompanied by his brother,
George, of Glasgow. From st.
Paul they went by bus and by
taxi. The snow is deep and pro-
gress was slow. They reached
their destinations barely in time.
Returning, Mr.. bauer travelled
part of the way with a brother
who lies at Washington, s.. D.
and who travelled by auto. They
had a fierce time getting over the
roads sometimes making only 10
an hour. Where the snow
not deep the ruts were. Mon
tana roads and weather are fine
in comparison.

ANN HARDING AS

Since the advent of talking pic
lures audiences are demanding in
telligence as well as beauty from
their screen stars, and Miss Hard

men who possess both.
To Ann Harding there are two
worlds, her home and the screen.
Both are founded on understand
ing of those whom she loves. At
home it is her husband and daugh-
ter, Jane; on the screen her audi

tacted with audiences personally
and understands their pSycnology.
Writing of Ann Harding recent
ly, a well-known critic said:
miss Harding is adored not on
ly by her public, but even more SO,
by those who work with her. She
is the personification of intelli-
gence on the screen as well as in
private life. She and her husband
care little for society and enter
tain but rarely, yet her intellect
precludes any possibility of one
spending a dull half hour or eve
ming in her company.
Frank Lloyd, director of East
lynne" had this to say;
miss Harding is indeed an
adorable creature, a lady and one
