Harding Stars in
Palace Film

An exceptionally strong cast
was assembled by Metro-Gold-
wyn- Mayer Cosmopolitan for its
film version of the Rachael
Crothers stage success, when
Ladies Meet" now playing at the
Loew's Palace Theater. Ann Hard
ing and Robert Montgomery have
in this picture their first CO.
starring roles.
when Ladies Meet" is the
conclusion of what would happen
when the wife of a philandering
husband meets the woman he
has been lavishing his attentions
on. The plot is an original one
because of the fact that its
situations are so arranged that
neither of the women is aware
of the others identity.
Frank Morgan plays the part
of the philandering husband,
Miss Harding is the understand
ing and modern wife. Robert
Montgomery plays the role of a
front-page newspaperman deeply
in love with Myrna 10y, the
novelist who tries to live the
life of her heroine. Others in
the cast include Alice Brady,
Martin Burton and Luis Alberni.
The settings range from a boat
house on the Hudson River to a
beautifully remodeled farmhouse
in Connecticut
The picture was directed with
a fine understanding of the
subtle qualities of the play by
Harry Beaumont. Beaumont has
obtained the utmost in perform
ances and justified the employ
ment of such stellar names, and
personages in the cast.
The Hearst Metro-Tone News,
selected short subjects and come
dies complete the bill. The pic
ture is easily among the smarteSt
and most entertaining features
the screen has enjoyed in many
months.

Mr.. Morgan Rides

Out last night to catch a few
vagrant breezes on a ride to Glen
Echo. I passed j. Pierpont Nor
gan sitting in the back seat of an
open touring car trying to do the
same thing. In the open machine
just ahead was John W. Davis, his
lawyer. who, by the law of politics.
has forfeited his right to the next
vacancy on the United States SUI
preme Court. That is, those who
ought to know say that anybody
on a Morgan preferred list has no
chance to get by the United States
Senate. Is having j. P. for a
client worth the sacrifice for a
great lawyer?
Mr.. Morgan doesn't look as
though Cross -Exeminer Pecora
has disturbed his equanimity. In
fact he looks delightfully."- cool and
calm as his car whirls down Con-
necticut Avenue. A picture of
contented aristocracy. If I had
his money that's just the kind of
a panama nat I'd wear too. Mr..
Davis is bareheaded and looks
tired. wonder if he thinks as
the car rolls past the White
House. IF I'd had the good luck
to run in 1882 instead of 1924
I'd be living there right now. For
any Democrat could have beaten
Hoover. The time was ripe to
turn out Republicans"

Cary Grant Will
Play Indian
Athlete
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright, 1883. King Features

HOLLYWOOD, June 9.-After
being taboo for years, stories with
Indian heroes are now being
grabbed up by the producers.
Charles R. Rogers, a smart
Snowman, is going to do one with
Cary Grant as the first of his
10-picture program at Paramount.
He'll film it from Gael Mac.

which tells the story of a famous

from West Point, but who is

ter, Rogers plans to photograph
the entire picture in color. This
means the audience will see the
West Point graduation exercises,
the painted Buttes of Montana in
their natural hueS.
AS the film gets under way
upon the return of Harry
Brown from Europe (he's due
about the 19th), it looks as if
there'll be race to see whether
Swift Arrow" or M. G.. MS
Laughing Boy" launches the new
cycle.
Also, the fans will be able to
draw interesting comparisons be-
tween the performances of Cary
Grant and Ramon Novarro.

the amusement park business
backwards and forwards.
You'd think yesterday was the
kind of a day a park operator
would love. And it was for the
weather man held off on rain.
But when it's hot the swimming
pool gets the play and the dance
hall suffers. Which just proves
you can't have everything.
Glen Echo has invested about
$4,000 in a new Spanish mission
type of dance hall. Pretty spiffy.
1t makes me think of the la
mented David Belasco as I watch
the automatic lights around the
vast dancing surface. They melt
into a myriad of colors and the
soft illumination blends beauti-
fully with the dreamy strains
Dave McWilliams orchestra is
playing. A fine band, so good
the network radio is after their
rhythmS.
From the dance hall balcony
the scene includes a beach pano-
rama and an enhancing view of
the great swimming pool. 1t
looks Spotlessly clean and it is
for Mr.. Schloss can show you
certificates of cleanliness from
the Maryland Sanitation Commits
sion which rate it No. l.
1t takes at least two days of
real hot weather TO make peak
business for the pool. Three days
is better. That's the pool situa-
ton all over the United States.
A one day heat is not enough.
Only when the average individual
has SWeltered for more than "a
hours does he become pool con-
scious.
Mr.. Schloss has the weather
all figured out. Which is to say
that in a season of 100 days
there will be 20 days not suited
for amusement park business.
The real box office wallop for the
amusement park is rain on a
holiday. For instance May 30
this year was rainy and close to
total loss. Business that can
never be made up.
Plenty of picnic business for
Glen Echo Park this year and the
churches favor Glen Echo be-
cause the resort barred beer.
When the park was opened by
the street car company 95 per
cent of its patronage came by
trolley. Today the proportion of
attendance is IS per cent by auto
and IS by w. R. E. And
Glen Echo is one place you can
find a parking place without
wasting an entire evening.
Some time next month I pro-
pose to take in every amusement
device that Mr.. Schloss can pro-
vide. Last night I was after cool
breezes and 1 got them.

In celebration of the silver

Many of the organizations

Mr.. Pace was actively identi-

His business was badly crippled

business closed in two days and
placed many of his corporations
into immediate liquidation. The

a large Charlotte institution, en-
ployed him Immediately after the

Federation Will
Make AdvancetO
Wool Producers

Farmers of Henderson county
NAV get an advance on their wool
at the local warehouse of the
Farmers Federation, Inc, it was
announced today by James G. X.
Mcclure, Jr., president. Prices on
the advance will be Is cents per
Mound on clear, unwashed wool.
and twelve cents per pound on
bury wool.
This advance is being offered
through the ten warehouses or
the Farmers Federation as an &C
CommodatiOn to the farmers of
Western North Carolina. The
wool brought in by farmers to the
various warehouses will be as
semblod a. the Ashevilla ware
house of the federation for a CO
operative wool pool to be held
the last week in May.
L. C. Salter. associate market
ing specialist. will be present at
the wool pool at Asheville, when
the United Wool Growers Coop
erative association will make the
advances on all wool brought in.
When all the wool gathered in
for the association through wool
pools is sold in the summer and
fall. any surplus in income is di-
vidcd among the growers. Last
year the growers received from
&c to &c per pound in addition to
the advance.
Last year the farmer received
about eight cents for his wool.
The advance this year is double
that of last year. Wool is the
first commodity for which the
farmer will receive thu benefit Of
improved prices. Wheat and corn
are largely out of the farmers
hands so the advance in prices
has not reached the farmer.
Wool is still in the farmers
hands. and this big advance over
last year will all go to the farm
er. Mr.. Salter is arranging wool
pools all over Western North
Carolina.
