Here is a real galaxy of beauty
Joan Bennett never looked or
acted better. Jean Parker gives
truly inspired performance and
Frances Dee is thoroughly excel

these three the Hepburn talents
meet the challenge with charm
and personality and an appealing
simplicity that makes 10 the most
impressive characterization of her
Hollywood portraits.
Little Women" is one of the
great pictures of 1888. When the
returns are all in it may hold No.

For it shows that Hollywood has
an appreciation of refinement and
culture and understanding and
given the right personnel can
transplant it so that it will flower
entrancingly from the screen.

Joe Cooks Hold Your Horses

teresting to report that this daffy
musical comedy has just won the
Billboard's survey as the Broad

laughs. Says the Billboard:
For the first time to our
knowledge q statistical "Iaugh
survey" Of all the musical shows
on the RialtO has been COM
pleted and the Billboard hereby
presents its official and un-
biased report as accurately re-
corded.
The findings are reported
from a purely objective view
and do not recommend the win
ner any more than they con-
demn the loser. They are all good
shows and there were naturally
individual preferences, but in
this review of cold facts not the
play but the laughs the thing.
So let's break the suspense
and let the laughs out of the
bag: AS Joe Cook will be happy
to learn, Magnolia, the nag in
Hold Your Horses, wins by
about three lengths, running in

vacancy in the House caused by the
death Of Lynn s. Horner, as vindica-

Discovery of what they described as
mountain of gold' was claimed today
by three Durango men. who said sur
veys of engineers indicated the fabu-
lously rich Red Arrow gold vein ex-
tends completely through a mountain.
The trio-E. c. Metz, o. E. Bates and
Myron Bates - recently discovered a
gold vein on the Hall City group of five
claims, about miles due west of the
Starr Gilmore Red Arrow Mine.
The vein is over four feet wide at
the portal of the location tunnel ana
carries free gold at grass roots" Myron
Bates said today. "The vein has been
surveyed and engineers claim the Red
Arrow vein runs completely through the
mountain from east to west"
According to Bates, the values OF ore
are gaining with depth, and high-grade
ore is being taken from the lime con-
tact on the wall Of the fissure.
He said there also is north and
south vein on the Hall City group which
Is six feet wide.
Engineers said some OF the richest
ore ever found in the La Plata quad
rangle is likely to be found at the juno
ture of this north-south vein with the
Red Arrow" Bates declared.
The Hall City group is at m elevation
of $500 feet.

AL SMITH MAY RUN
AGAIN, DECLARES FISH
Representative Sees Candidacy if
Roosevelt CONTINUES Trend
Toward Imitation.
BY the Associated Press.


DETROIT, November 29.-Represeilt-
ative Hamilton Fish, jr, New YORK,
said today that he believed Alfred T.
Smith again will become candloate
for President if President Roosevelt
CONTINUES his trend toward imitation.
Here for an address, Representative
Fish told newspaper men he strongly
regretted" the statements of Rev.
Father Charles E. Coughlin, militant
priest who attacked Smith for his op-
position of the Presidents monetary
policies.
He declared himself strongly in oppo..
sition to Russian recognition, and
stated he believed the main result OF
the recognition of Russia by the United
States will be to strengthen the pres
tjee of the Communists in Russia and
elsewhere, and promote class and civil
war throughout the world"
And those wars" he said, "are more
terrible than wars between nations"
Representative Fish said he consid-
cred it "problematicar whether the
next Congress will favor imitation.
"The members Of Congress from the
South and West originally were strong
inflationists," he said. They told their
people back home that imitation would
permit them to pay their debts, and
they scld the people so powerfully, on
that idea that now the people demand
their Representatives give them infia-
ton. Had Congress met last July am
almost certain that it would have gone
for imitation"
