HOLLYWOOD, Calf, September IA
(N.A.N.A).-H Hollywood's newest pre-
miere certainly disproved our theory ex-
pressed pretty frankly five years ago, that
women will never again distort their
bodies" Distortion was the order OF
the day. since practically every gown
and cloak and cape worn by the famous
stars departed radically from the natu-
raj silhouette.
The big surprise Of the evening was
supposed to be the new ending put on
the picture after the professional pre-
view and giving to it the Cotton finish,
sometimes I feel sorry for the whole
world" Ohrowing the last scene 10

originally put on the picture by Mile
stone, which gave the final scene to
Horn with the quotation from Metz

That change became mild In view OF
the question on every ones lips: Rave
Won seen Joan Crawford?" Most Of the
audience did not glimpse the star until
she rose shyly to take a quick DOW
when Eddie Cantor, master OF ceremo-
MES, CALLED her. But even IN tha1
quick glimpse the thousands there real

Joan Crawfords leg O muttons were
the hugest imaginable, billoWlng out
from her shoulders for good eisnI
inches on either side and tapering INTO
long tight fitting cuffs. This evening

latest sartorial extravaganza, and l may
as well go on record right now as say
ing that only a Joan Crawford, or some
BODY built very much like her, should
try it. Double breasted. the coat put

little flaring reveres. 1t was nodded
about that famous waistline in man

movieland can achieve an effect IKE
that. Her hair was brushed straight
back from her face and worn in long
bob.
Down the aisle came something
straight out of the family album-a
quaint little cameo-faced figure OF long

Gaping her shoulders and tanning up

A POOR KIND OF SPORT

Protests are being made respecting the
practice of pitting strong college football
teams against weaker elevens of smaller
schools, whereby the stronger teams run up
scores of so or more to nothing.
This practice is certainly perversion
of sport 1t is as unreasonable as would be
ring battle between heavyweight and a
bantam. The weaker team is manhandled
and trampled over in manner which is
nothing less than disgraceful. How specta-
tors can get any enjoyment out of such an
exhibition is inconceivable.
1t may be that players of the inferior
teams are willing to undergo the drubbings
they get for the sake of saying that they
have played against such and such big col
lege or university. but such games are not
good for sport or craftsmanship.
And in the interest of the game such
unequal contests should be eliminated in
future.

KEY VESTS MEDIUM

How many Key Westers read The
Citizen daily? The Citizen believes that
a conservative estimate is between 1000
and 5000, and here are the reasons:
Time and again, The Citizen has heard
of this number and that number of Key
Westers who read each copy, and the SUBJ
ject was renewed yesterday when Mayor
Leslie A. Curry remarked, while in the of
flee of this paper, that eight persons read
his copy of The Citizen.
The greatest number of Key Westers
we have heard who read a single copy of
The Citizen is %. Four families, due to
the depression, contribute five cents each
to the weekly subscription rate, and after
they read the paper, neighbors also read it,
so that the entire number totals %.
Of course, that number is on exeep-
ton, as is also the number that rea IS Mayor
Currys copy. What the average is can not
be determined with certainty, as there are
several hundred subscribers that retain
their copies in their home.
Even at that, there is hardly an Eng
lish-reading home in Key West that is not
reached by The Citizen, and it may sur
prise some that the term 'English-reading
Spanish is spoken
In normal times every family should
subscribe for the home paper, but times
are so abnormal now that the practice of
handing copies of The Citizen from house
to house, after the subscribers have finished
with it, is far more widespread in Key West
than it has ever been.
For that reason merchants who adj
vertise in The Citizen get what may be
truly termed citywide circulation. Il saw
it in The Citizen" is a remark that may be
heard daily in Key West, and it is heard
just as much now as it ever has been, even
though hundreds see the news in borrowed
copies of the paper.
The Citizen firmly believes that in no
other way can merchants reach as many
readers as are reached through advertising
in this paper. Circulars may be put in
every occupied house in Key West, but only
small percentage of them is carefully
read, compared to the numbers of copies of
The Citizen that are thoroughly read.
Many persons ball up a circular and
throw it away without even looking to see
what it is about many read it hurriedly and
only comparative few note closely its con-
tents
The best way to reach the reader in
community is, therefore, through the
medium of the home paper. In Key West
The Citizen, published daily, is that
medium.
