 Hobo Has Ride
 Imagine the embarrassment of the luckless hobo who boarded the Warner Brothers special freight train out of the Mexican border town of Jacumba, during the film ing of Other Mems Women"
 The train wasn't going anywhere and the hobo was presumably am xious to get out of town on account of the excessive heat of the South ern California interior. For eight hours the freight was shunted back and forth over the chartered tracks while the tramp tried to figure out what madness had suddenly over- taken the Southern Pacific. What he didn't know was that the train was on an, abandoned piece of track in the Cariso gorge and that it was actually flirting with death
 Angry And Amazes
 When the son of rest finely de- camped from the rods as daylight threatened, and took time out from the Sidelines to give vent to his opinion of railroaders, his wrath suddenly changed to amazement and relief as he saw the train which had been his home for the night, coast with gathering speed to the edge of the precipitous canyon and plunge dazzingly into the still dark depths below, leaving only grinding cameras and weary members of the cast and crew of "Other Mems Women" behind.
 Mary Astor plays the leading feminine role in "Other Mems Women and James Cagney, J. Farrell Macdonald, Fred Kohler, Joan Blonden and Walter Long are in the supporting cast. William Wellman directed
