It's thrilling war story of the Civil War period with spys and counter spys with love close ly entwined in the plot. The com panion feature "The Merry Frinks" with Guy Kibbee and Al len Jenkins is laugh fest, with a giggle in every foot of film.
 Thursday brings to the Strand Margaret Sullivan in Little Man, What Now?"
 The co-feature "The Personal lty kid' is story of the romance of the prize fight ring.
 Pat O'Brien heads the cast in the role of flashy fighter, with plenty of flash. considerable class and no punch, but whose incor. dinate vanity leads him to believe that he is actually knocking out the set-ups his promoters provide for his bouts. Glenda Farrell has the role of Pats wife and his man. ager who knows both her husband and the fight game thoroughly and only hopes to make enough of a stake to start them in a small business.

This ''Seven-Step Check up" of your cars running needs is a regular part of the service at a SOcOny
 Station or Dealer

LIVER WONDER what a serviceman IL thinks about? If it's Socony ser. viceman, he thinks about several things.
 As he fills the tank, he thinks to clean your rear window and to tighten the tank cap. Next he checks your oil. And while the hood is up, he looks over the spark plugs and fan belt.
 Then-automatically to the front to fill your radiator. While there, he sees whether tires need air.
 Next stop is the passengers side of the car, where he cleans the windshield. Then back to the drivers side, to wipe that clean - and report anything that seems to need attention.
 All this is automatic. A ''seven-step'' survey of your car that shows whether everything is as 1t should be.
 Socony Mobilgas gives you finer car performance; Mobiloil is better oil for modern motors. But in addition to these plus-values, you get the friendly help of a man who knows cars, every time you stop at the sign of the Flying Red Horse.

WORLDS CHAMP
RETURNS after
TEN idle YEARS

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 81. =
Swinging around deserted track
here each weekday night is soil
tary figure, 36-year-old Harold M.
Osborn, who set the worlds death
lon title in Paris, one year after
leaving the University of Illinois.
Now student at the Philadel-
phia College of Osteopathy, Osborn
is practicing for the American pen
tathlon championship which will
be held at Ulmer Park, Brooklyn,
on Labor Day.
It's Different Now
Ten years have added a wife and
a family to Osborn's care. They
have also taken some hair from
his head and the "e" from the end
of his name. Yes, and some of the
elasticity is gone from the stride
too, but not so much that he will
not be one of the favorites in the
games on Labor Day.
Osborn's record of 7,710.775
points in the decathlon is no long
er worlds record. 1t was broken
in 1928 by Pavlo Yrjo,a, of Fin
land, at Amsterdam. And since
then Yrjola's mark of 8,05620 has
been broken by Jim Bausch of
Kansas, who compiled the aston
ishing total of 1892 1856 in the
1882 Olympic games at Los Angeles
But Osborn's record in the run
ming high jump still remains. This
record Of 6 feet 81 inches he es-
, tablished on the Illinois track at
Champaign, in 1924, and in the
same year bettered the mark with
leap of feet 8 1916 inches at
the University of Texas meet, but
, the latter mark was never recog-
nized
He's Still Good
Unfortunately, Osborn will not be
able to use his high jump ability
in the coming meet at Brooklyn
The five events on the program are
the running broad-jump, the jave-
lin and discus throws, and the zoo
and $500 meters flat races. Al
present he is jumping % feet
throwing the javelin 165 feet, ant
the discus $50 feet He admit!
