brother Cantor, somewhere along
the East Coast.
This trio sets a new mark in
theater -togethers. 1t proves that
the depression has squeezed talent
into small, compact inches, and
given some pseudo-stars the pro-
verbal air There have been
more star" catastrophes than there
ever were before this year. and at
the same time more productions In
which many stars have been planted
on the same stage. You have only
TO glance over at Broadway and see
what was once Forward March"

Pink" to appreciate that fact that
Jimmie tSchnozzle) Durante. Lupe
Velez and Hope williams are a rare
combination and would no more
have thought of landing in the same
production a few years ago than
you and I would have.
Just what Miss Talmadge. Miss
Lille and Mr. Jessel will do in the
same show is a question. Miss Tai
madge's stage appearance earlier in
the season convinced us that she Is
still a very great beauty. but that
her screen charms are more potent
than her footlight abilities. Her
profile is still grade A-her smile,
grade A-and her personality. grade
B. But her acting does not seem TO
20 hand in hand with the revue
laughibilities, which Miss Lille and
Mr.. Jessel. for instance, will provide
in a revue, and it is to be hoped
that she won't be dragged out every
few minutes to sit under a spot
light and sing "Smilin' Through
Miss Talmadge remains one OF the
old school greats of the early
cinema. When the current gen.
Grafton has written its treatise on
screen history her name will be high
in it. In the silent days she played
probably more romantic roles than
anv other 10 beauties around the lot.
When you think OF Miss Talmaose
YOU automatically conjure up Miss
Pickford and Mr.. Fairbanks and Mr..
Chaplin.
Therefore we have kind of senti-
mental feeling about Miss Talmadge,
as We have about the rest OF tnls
early group. And the fact that Miss
Pickford recently has boboed up
again successfully in Secrets Is
pleasant indication that the group Is
very much alive and kicking.
Miss Talmadge in musical revue,
however. seems violently out OF place.
If she insists on getting into the
grind OF musical comedy routine at
the end of her career, she may be
coming in in a wheelchair at the end
of Strike Me Pink and smiling
blessings on her musical comedy
grandchildren as the curtain comes
down. Why doesn't Miss Talmadge
Go a Mary Pickford stunt and crash
back in the field where she belongs?
Why let the younger generation get
the better of her? As We stated be-
fore. she is still handsome, still
capable and still charming. She
can't sing and she can't dance. Why.

No Worries Here About
Municipal Water Supply
Captain John Rem Says He Has Two Months Supply If
1t Don't Rain Another Drop; Level of Lakes Three
Feet Below Spillway at the Dam

The level of the water in the two
large lakes is about three feet be-
low the spillway at the dam. Con
sumption and evaporation have. OF
course, taken their toll, a condition
which is evident by a look at the
lake, but it is not the ugly sight that
has been presented in other seasons
and visit to the plant gives one a
feeling of satisfaction as to the suf-
ficiency of the water supply
Henderson consumes some hun
dreds of thousands of gallons of water
daily, but streams that supply the
lakes are still running, despite the
drought, and they all together furnish
almost as much water as is needed
for the day-to-day consumption. While
the level of the lakes is lower than
the normal condition. there is the
further comforting assurance that
the season of SHOWS and winter rains
is near at hand to buttress the supply
and to replenish it before a serious
situation might develop.
