Jenny never complained, how.
ever. Never had. Ever since the
day that Dottie's mother had
died and Jenny had taken the
child for no reason except that
she was soft-hearted and lonely,
she had worked untiringly.
When Dottie grew old enough
to be of some use she never
suggested that the girl get out
and earn her own living. And
you may be sure that Dottie
never suggested such a thing,
either. It was much more
pleasant to lie in bed until noon
and read movie magazines and
love stories.
The kind that she enjoyed
most were the stories in which
the poor but pure heroine mar
rieS a handsome and dashing
millionaire in the last page.
Any moving picture that ended
with the star wallowing in
luxury sent her out of the
theater very happy. Because it
Just went to show you that
such things could happen.
Something like that might hap
pen to Dottie herself.
Jenny, of course, had no
time for reading and no money
for the movies. So Dottie told
her all about it. She was gen.
erous in that one respect, was
Dottie. Besides it wasn't al
ways easy to find anyone else
to listen to her.
"You can't tell, Jen," Dottie
said over and over. "It could
happen to me just as we'll.
Gee, it'd be great to get away
from a dump like this. Have
nice clothes and everything.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if
were to marry a millionaire?"
Marries Rich Man
Jenny Strengthened up pain
fully and wiped her forehead.
She agreed that it would be
wonderful indeed. Weary but
proud, that was Jenny. She
had always believed that Dottie
was different from the other
girls in the neighborhood.
Which was an excellent reason
for general rejoicing among the
other girls.
Of course I realize that there
was no justice in the whole
thing, but Dottie met and mar
ried her rich man. How she
turned the trick I have no
idea. They met and he fell in
love with her. It was as simple
as that. Henry was a little SIM
pie, too, so that made it even
all around.
Outside of his money, Henry
was no bargain. He wasn't
very handsome, he was a little
too old to have dash and he
was slightly shopworn. But
Dottie was willing to overlook
all that. She had decided that
you can't have everything.
Jenny was very happy when
Dottie told her about it. Happy
for Dottie, and, of course, happy
for herself, too. She was get
ting tired of the waShboard
and the heavy iron. She hadn't
realized just how tired until
now when there seemed to be a
chance that she would get away
from it all.
But Dottie's next words sent
her hopes crashing.
"Of course, Jenny" said Dot
tie un conf Or a bly,, Henry
doesn't know all about me.
What I mean is, I couldn't tell
him that I lived in a place like
this. Hardly. That's why 1
never brought him up here.
Why, he probably wouldn't
want to have anything more to
do with me. He doesn't know
about you. I told him that my
parents were dead, of course.
II made up a pretty good
story, too," went on the girl
proudly. T told him that we
were a fine old family, but
after papa and mama died,
was left without a cent. He
thinks I'm one of those-what
do you call 'em?-genteel poor.

Eugene ONeiII's Long Distance
Play Beautifully Done BY Screen
Laugh Your Head
or at Earle
This Week

Warner Brothers should de.
clare this "giggle" week in COM
pliment to the current program
at the Earle.
Olsen and Johnson, late of the
Keith circuit, later of the movies
and still later of radio, have
gathered a troupe of nonsense
specialists and put on a show
which requires the whole theater
as a set and some members OF
the audience as StoogeS.
There is no rhyme ard less
reason to their show but the
audience simply howls With plee
at the Atrocities of 1882" an
apt title, and even forgives the
always present lapses into low
comedy.
There are short sketches, songs;
dances, an effective bit of
chorus antics suggested by the
Olympics, and attractively COS
TUNED, there is a tiny white
pup and more than anything
there is the rapid fire comedy
teamwork of Olsen and Johnson,
who share the spotlight with the
Sisters Kapelle, Harry Adler
Holtz and Holtz, George ami
Happy Moore and Sidney Gibson,
There are two other acts on
the vaudeville lineup, Oracle
Barrie, a blues" singer with a
pleasant personality and a way
about songs, and Tracey and
Hay, versatile dancers. Maxine
Doyle continues to pile up a
nonstop m. C. record and Freddy
Clark and the bandsmen are
agreeable accompanies.
With this galaxy of stage
entertainment there is film
feature which, while being a
tribute to the Empire city's most
publicized mayor, is also snap
for the talents and charm and
wit of Lee Tracy.
The Night Mayor" is a solid
hour of refreshing amusement;
there is action, comedy, beauty.
Eugene Palette and Evalyn
Knapp are excellent support for
the smiling Lee Tracy. Most of
the more familiar incidents in
the public life of hizzoner, in.
Guiding the beer parade and the
retort famous I'll match my
private life with any mans" are
played up prominently.
Graham McNamee, as the
Universal neWSreel talking re-
porter, tells us what's going on
in the world and, as you reach
for your hat, you'll probably
chuckle not little at remem,
bered bit of nonsense.-K. Y.

The Fox is featuring show
stopping vaudeville this week
with three favorites of entertain
ment, Irene Bordoni, James Bar

his Harmonica Boys.
The screen is running a close
second with Hat Check Girl,
from this standpoint; the picture
is a pot pourri, grand conglom-
meration of present day movie
dom, romance, Broadway gossip
mongerS, racketeers and with a
murder thrown in for good meas
ure.
In this melee of the high life
and the low life, Gerry Marsh, the
cream of the hat checkers at the
Embassy Club, side industry of
Tony Carlucci, tough racketeer,
has in her past, involved herself
with Tod Reese, editor of a gos-

Lois Wilson Has
Chief Role at
Columbia

This is story of intrigue,
blackmail and marriage of con-
venience. You'll like it for its
sincerity and wistfulness.
Drifting Souls" at Loew's
Columbia, is the best the old play
house has had for many week
and we thank something or other
for the interlude from the series
of wild west pictures which have
held sway there.
The story concerns a young
lady of refinement who resorts to
new cloak for the Oldest game
in the world" in an effort to pro-
cure $4,000 to save the life of her
father. Inadvertently she falls
into a blackmail plot where she
is married off (for the stipulated
sum- by a cold, calculating vii
lain to a nice young man with
oodleS of money.
Of course, the marriage was
only an alibi for the nice young
man who believes himself to be
a hit-and-run driver.
But love blossoms with Ine
strangely-mated pair when the
young wife reveals her ability
as the attorney for the defense
in a stirring courtroom scene and
pins the guilt on the blackmailer.
The story isn't new and the
direction could be improved, but
nevertheless it's a pleasing sort
of a picture. Even the acting
isn't so hot, with one of the
minor characters proving the
best of them all.
Gene Gowing. about whom we
confess never to have heard, is
