Loretta Young Is
Star Of Earle
Picture

Loretta Young and Norman
Foster, in a story of a young
fellow and a girl who find first
great happiness and then disillu
sionment in their first year OF
married life, hold keen interest
at the Earle Theater this week
The picture, for no special reason
is entitled "Play Girl" and it is
considerably better than the name
would indicate.
Miss Young, as department
store clerk, meets a young man
who falls for her in big way,
Knowing liNtle of each other. they
wed a bit too hastily; and only
when hubby goes broke on the
honeymoon does the bride learn
that he is gambler, without any
other job.
Happy Ending
Despite promises, he doesn't re-
form until it is almost too late,
and then, through a miSunder-
standing, she thinks he has dou-
ble-crossed her again and tells
him to leave her.
Later, penniless and facing the
prospect of motherhood, the girl
is in desperate danger, but the
happy ending does come, after all
and for the most part logically
enough. One suspects, however,
that Wallie remains a gambler to
the end of the chapter.
Good Stage Show
Miss Young and Mr.. Foster are
splendidly cast, and ably sup
ported by Winnie Lightner, Guy
Kibbee, Dorothy Burgess and
others.
Renoff and Renova, last seen
here in a Broadway revue, offer
their adagio act, in which they
are assisted by the Sinclair twins
and Bekefi. George Beatty. billed
as "half singer, half wit" has a
novel and entertaining line of
patter. \
Don Santos and Exile sing, dance
and clown, and Paul Remos and
his midgets, a standard vaudeville
act for many seasons, do some as
tonishing acrobatic stunts.
The news reel, a Jack Nor
worth comedy and a travel reel
showing Oberammergau and the
actors Of the Passion Play are
added features.

Seeks Low-Down

Dear Mr.. Hellinger," writes
Franklin LAUDER. Il would
like very much to find out if
your are the same Mark Hell
linger with whom 1 went to
high school many. many years
ago. There was a chap by the
same name who was in my
drawing class at Townsend Har-
riS Hall.
Joseph Cummings Chase was
the instructor. At the end
of the term we were supposed
to hand in four completed
drawings which would serve as
an examination test. You
didn't have the drawings, so,
when he left the room, you
swiped four of the best draw
ings of another term from Mr..
Chase'S desk and handed them
in with your own name on
them.
"Mr. Chase discovered the de-
ception and you were thrown
out of the class. I would like
to know if you are the same
fellow"
1 don't remember the Incl
dent, sir. But I will say that it
certainly sounds like me.

Eddie Quillan stars in THE
Big Shot," a story of a small
town boy who had a job driving
the local hotel bus but whose
ideas ran to easy millions. He
had promoted many things from
stainless doors to flat-proof tires
but something had gone wrong
with each sure thing" He was
an easy mark for a real estate

hopeless auto camp. AS one

Eddie has no great demands

Great Was Olcott

1t is such experienced loud
speaker addicts as Homer Dooley
and Frank Hughes who aver that
the lamented Chauncey Olcott had
little something on the Morton
Downeys and Kate Smiths of to-
day. With memories of how he
filled the Columbia with glorious
song they reason that the singer
of Sweet Iniscarra," MY Wild
Irish Rose," in the full flower of
his vocal talents, might have been
the greatest radio favorite the
world had ever seen. I think
they're right.

Follows His Dad

Inasmuch as it is estimated
that our American college stu
dents are 10 to l in favor
of repeating the Eighteenth
Amendment, I don't imagine
that this particular youth had
much sympathy in his direc-
ton. The student who told
me the story asserted that
there were several discussions
throughout the college about
the situation.
"I think young S. is
making a mistake" argued
one. II think he should have
a little more backbone. Just
because his old man makes
fool of himself in Congress
doesn't mean 0 that his son
should go through the same
routine in college. It's differ
ent with his father. In Con-
gress, the old man has plenty
of company when he makes a
jackasS of himself. Down here,
the son is practically alone.
"I honestly believe that the
boy would have more friends
and be much happier if he
stood on his own feet. Does
he have to accept his fathers
viewpoint on these matterS?"
Another student was a little
more charitable.
Don't be so hard on him."
he returned. "I know that, as
a good fellow and a regular
guy, he's not so hot. But how
do you know what his real
thoughts are? Maybe he's just
as much fanatic along pro-
hibition lines as his father.
Why not give him the benefit
of the d01Iht0"

Cloquet, Mimi, July 25-
You've read stories of grass
hoppers stopping trains, eating

one, which a Cloquet man
vouches for. ...-
Mr.. and Mrs. Paven and fam
lily have a cabin on the shores
of Sand lake, on the iron range,
where the family resides during
the summer, while Mr.. Paven
takes care of the clothing de-
partment at the Cloquet Coop
erative store. He drives to his
cabin each week end. Last
Sunday the family decided to
go over to the home of a neigh
Dor, Mr.. Kaukola, for a visit.
The latter, a bachelor, lives on
a farm at Myrtlt lake, near Orr,
MINI.
There was some hay to be
brought in and it was hot in
the fields, so Mr.. kaukola took
off his shirt and socks and laid
them near the house while he
and Mr.. Paven went haying.
They finished the work in about
an hour and returned to the
house, where Kaukola looked
for his shirt and socks. They
were gone, but noticing an I'M
usually large bunch of grass
hoppers near where his clothing
was supposed to be, he went
over and investigated. The
grasshoppers were just finish
ing picking their teeth and
were ready for a nap. All they
had left of the sweaty shirt and
socks was the buttons and they
were probably too tough for
their digestion.
