Girls, prepare to shed many a
bitter tear and heave many sob
shaken bosom. / hate to tell you
this, but I can't help it. Clark
Gable has two sets Of false teeth;
one for ordinary use, and one for
work while on the set. That flash
ing smile that sent your hearts into
fiuttering aches is just a set of up
pers and lowers store boughtens.
Can't you just hear 'em click in
those soul disturbing love scenes :?
During the filming of Strange In
terlude" they fell out in Norma
Shearer's lap and grinned at her.
When he told her that she got into
his teeth, he was being false with
a vengeance. It's pity some peo-
pie are so two-teethed. Possibly
this news will give some of the
local lushers a chance. They need
it.
Frederick March in a picture in
Wilmington. He must have stirred
the latent fires in the lady, because
she claims that now her husband
holds no attractions, and that she
could never again be satisfied with
him since seeing March. Lady, you
should have heard what your hus-
band said after he had seen Carlo!
Why don't you turn out the lights
and imagine the person in your
arms is someone else? It's so

A devilish sparrow had a har-
rowing experience the other day.
He decided to invade the privacy of
one of our popular patrolmen's
bathroom and bathe himself in roy
al style. He flew into the window
and looked the situation over.
There were several receptacles in
the room that could be used, but
only one had any water in it.
Blithely he hoped in. Mighty un-
practical, these new bird baths. He
heard noise and decided to lay
low until the sounds had gone
Suddenly everything was black as
night. The light had been closed
off as if by magic. Still he kept
quiet. Then he revolted: even a
sparrow can stand just so much and
no more. Try as he might, he
couldn't get out. Trapped! He
f1uttered madly until he heard q
strained masculine voice call:
a., come here. Something ter.
rible has happened! l think /
Oh, get a doctor" AS if by the
snap of a switch, there was light
plenty of it, and the bird flew out
free air. If you think the mar
was embarrassed, imagine the feel
ings of the bird. Hereafter, he
will stock to Lake Como the
sparrow, OF course.
One lovely young lady about
town startled the populace the
other day by appearing in public
with her usual golden tresses a bit

Small wonder one of her admirer:

That gag about absence making
