WASHINGTON HONORED

February marks the anniversary OF the
birth of a truly great American Washing
ton On February 22nd the United States,
and the world is for that, commemorated
the 200th anniversary of the birth of Wash
ington Elaborate plans have been maturing
for several years past for the proper recog-
milton of the natal day of this world citizen
George Washington an observance that
will continue thru the summer and fall and
that will be nationwide.
As we look back thru the years that have
become history since the time Washington
lived and wrought, we Waken to the con-
sciousnes that the intervening years have
but magnified the unselfishness Of his pur-
pose, the magnitude of his work, and the
boundless scope of his vision. The under
lying secret of the abiding success Of any
man is the unselfishness of the service he
renders, the absence of personal aggran-
dizement in his plans, and the Punishment of
self-interest from his work. Washington is
true example of this type of citizen
As we pause to pay our own personal re-
spects to the memory of George Washington,
may we at the same time undertake to re-
mind oursevs that this nation was made pos
sible by men of Washington's type who re
fused to recognize petty limitations and who
were willing to sacrifice personal comfort
for the greater cause of serving their. day
and generation.
The stature of Washington grows larger
over the years, the magnitude of his service
more evident and the far reach of his wis
dom and his plans boone greater marvel
to us who contemplate his work and his sac
rifice
Time tries the works of men. Before this
court Washington's memory stands. The
verdict is-a truly great Americana pa
triot.

Inc japanese : Chinese controversy, war
IN everything but name, is causing new
worry in Washington. The japanese are us
ing the International section of Shanghai as
base for their marine operations. The
Chinese are contemplating an attack on the
Japanese in that settlement American peo-
pie reside in that part of the city and should
the Chinese attack the Japanese in that set
tlement the lives of these people would be
endangered.
Why doesn't America inform our citizens
they must leave the international sector inn
mediately and provide transportation for
them? China has been invaded and China
has a right to drive out the invaders They
can't well afford to assume responsibility for
the safety of the foreigners in such a de-
Tense
The booster meeting held by the local
Chamber Of Commerce last weekend served
to renew the old time confidence and pep
for which our community was noted in the
early days. Satisfactory solution of the dis
trict's two most troublesome problems has
now restored the stability of the section and
is inspiring the old residents as well as the
newcomers. Settling the water question in
both districts has removed the last question
as to the desirability of owning lands under
the projects. The Highlands plant will now
deliver water in sufficient quantities to en-
able the growers to mature full crops. The
lower district, with its refinancing plan in
operation, has entered into period of GER
tainty which should inspire confidence in
every land owner. Every one of the reasons
which brought our local population here, is
still valid one-in most cases stronger now
than in the past We have good country
and are still glad we live here.

Meets Bad Luck

Then the Bell talents were con-
tracted for by Paramount and he
came East to supervise and di-
rect at the Astoria studio. The
best exhibit he turned out there
was young Man of Manhattan" "
He turned out many sour features
and his star began to fade. Nancy
CarrollS Personal Maid" was
the last before he bowed out.
He tried one for Universal and
produced a blank. I blame this
on Director Bell since he was
working on his own story, Man,
Woman and Sin" in the sound
picture version. Thereafter there
was little demand for the Bell
services.
His hook-up with Jack Gilbert
came because that troubled. star
has great faith in the Bell tai
ents. He knew the director was
trying to regain some of his lost
prestige and had every incentive
to give his best. So you can
watch Downstairs" knowing that
it has had the particular care of
star and director. In it Actor
Gilbert plays the part of a SER

look overspread his face.
wait a minnit! he yelled
after the waiter. "Om gonna
order somting diffrant. 1t
don't cost nuttin', does it?"
The waiter smiled and said
no.
"Okay," said the delighted
Polack. Cat me soup, an
somma dat rosa biff, an som
chicken wit toikey on de site,
an som vegetables, an som
brat, an big piece pie-an den
com back. I'll tai you som
more den."
Stanislaus ate until he looked
like a stuffed owl. He never
had so much to eat in all his
life. Bologna? Bah! That
was something dead and for
gotten.
1t grieves me now to give
you the sad ending, but it can
not be avoided. His $4,000
did him no good whatsoever.
He should have stuck to his
bread and bologna. For in the
morning the poor fellow was
dead-Of indigestion!

Bonus Army Scenes

The forced evacuation of the
bonus army was captured by the
news reels and adorns local
screens this week. Incidentally it
marks the first time that the
ragged veterans were photo
graphed for the movies during
their stay in Washington.
A Will Hays request to pro-
ducers was that they refrain from
screening scenes in and around
the headquarters of the bonus
army lest they incite others
throughout the country to trek to
Washington. With the calling
out of the regular Army the
sorry adventure became a news
event of major Importance and
the cameras accordingly caught
the scuffling, tear bombing and
incendiarism for the regular
screen releases.

Cuckoo Week. Is
Listed at Earle

The week starting Friday, Au-
gust 5, will bring to Warner Bros.
Earle Theater what is described
as the coolest, nuttiest, most
nonsensical conglomeration of
foolish fun on stage and screen
that has ever been presented in
a theater. The reason for all the
nonsense will be Cuckoo Week"
with Million Dollar Legs" a
Paramount comedy starring Jack
Oakie, w. c. Fields, Ben Turpin,
Hank Mann and many other
Hollywood comics as the fea-
tured screen attraction and a
stage program headed by Stuart
and Lash, the nut comics.
Million Dollar Legs" the
screen feature, is just million
laughs with no sense in any foot
of it. The story begins in the
republic of Klopatokia, where all
the men are named George and
all the women Angela, and the
president holds his job because
he is the best Weight-lifter. An
American brush salesman stun
bles into the country and to
help out the depleted treasury
takes the entire population to
the Olympic games to win all
the honors and cash to replenish
the treasury. The cast is COM
posed of HollyWood'S nuttiest
comics led by Jack Oakie, w.
C. Fields, Ben Turpin, Hank
Mann, Andy Clyde and LYDIA
Roberti.

Ball Park on
Tuesday

The announcement by Maestro
Alfred Salmaggi that Miss Agnese
Robinson, Contralto, formerly
with the Chicago Opera Company,
would sing the role of Azucena
has created great interest among
the hundreds of friends of Miss
Robinson who are listed among
Washington's music lovers.
Miss Robinson lived in Wash
ington for a number of years ana
was quite prominent in music
circles. She has since then made
a great name for herself in
opera and she has always wanted
to sing in an important role in
opera in Washington.
In private life Miss Robinson
is the wife of the famous basso
from the Havana Opera Com
pany, Nino RuiSi, whose -orgeous
voice thrilled the audiences at
Griffith Stadium during the per
formance of Aida" last month.
Both Mr.. Ruisi and Miss Robin
son will have important roles in
I'll Trovatore," which Maestro
Salmaggi is staging at Griffith
Stadium Tuesday night, August 2.
Announcement was made that

them at Stieff Piano Company,
where an unprecedented advance
sale is reported. Many schools
and organizations are reserving
large books of tickets.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Aug. l.
With the camera imbedded in a
pit on the edge Of the arena,
Universal has just shot the first
close-ups ever made Of bull
fight. These scenes, or as many
of them as will pass the censors,
are to be woven into "The Man
Without Fear" Lew Ayers next
picture for the Carl Laemmle
Studio.
In order to secure these authen-
tic thrills, the U sent Tom Kill
patrick to Spain, where he finally
was able to secure special permits
from the authorities. Scenes
already have been made at the
bullring in Madrid, and fitzpatrick
plans to augment them with SINH
lar close-ups on the famous Seville
Arena.
For this film, Lew Ayres will
assume the romantic role OF a
young Spanish matador. The
stern training, the courage OF
the bull-fighter are to be en-
phasized in the treatment of the
character.
Pending Kilpatrick's return,
Lew and Lola Lane are taking a
vacation. And they insist there's
no truth in those rumors about
the Stork.
Newest story to go the rounds
is about the aging broker who
fell for a blonde cutie. Sizing
him up as easy pickings, she had
her sweetheart steal snapshot
of her sitting in the old rake's
lap.
The next day, the sweetheart
showed up at the brokers' office.

Interlude" Passes

Metro -Goldwyn-Mayer is happy
over the news that the Maryland
censors have passed Eugene
O'Neills strange Interlude" in
the screen version without WELD
ing a scissor. There is much in
the career of Nina Leeds and her
assorted loves which might cause
censors to raise an eyebrow and
start shipping, but those who have
inspected it to date have been con-
tent to accept it as a serious treat
ment of a fine literary work. not
designed to be sensational because
of its sexy theme.

1t is, advance reports say, a
very fine treatment of a contro-
versial subject with its high

that depositors should have more

He makes a speech against Old

Was a Smart Boy

w 90 q ~ I6I wy
They admitted that he alb
sorbed more knowledge at the
village school than Walter
Winchell did at the same age.
OF course, that's not saying
much for Stanislaus, but back
in those days Poland was in
constant trouble with her bor-
der-rivals and a knowledge Of
the workings of a rifle meant
much more than a knowledge
of something silly like gram
mar.
When the kid was IA he
spoke of going to America. And
inside of a year he had the
village half crazy with visions
of vast wealth and luXuries to
be found in the New World.
He was about III am led
to believe-when he showed
them how really smart he was.
He called most of the poor
folks together one day and un-
burdened the following speech:
Fellow citizens" he said,
"lend me your ears. Also lend
me what money you have. I
have made up my mind to go
to America. I shall start a
business there. I shall make
many American dollars. After
I become established. I will
send you money to follow me
to the new land. We will all
make many American dollars.
Are you with me?"
They we're. The men of the
village hated to part with their
hard-earned money, but the boy,
they knew, would make good in
a very large manner. No doubt
about it.
