SALLY PLIERS STARRING IN
 UPTOWN FILM

Walls Of Gold" the new Fox Film, adapted for the screen from the best-selling novel of the same name by Kathleen Norris, comes to the Uptown Theatre this evening The leading roles are portrayed by Sally Eilers and Norman Foster, the two unforgettable young lovers of State Fair
 The story, aiming with all of Kathleen Norris directness and logic at the vital concerns of the modern youth, goes to the core of a situation in which young girl is given one of the most difficult choices to make. She is an ex- pensive beauty, and must weigh the advantages of true and unsel- fish love and those of a life of luxury and ease The one is of fered to her by young man who adores her. The other is held out to her by the young mans uncle, a man of untold wealth, lavish en- tertainments and an artistic taste peculiarly his own.

to force the acid into the formation.
Then they stopped pumping. The
well continued to flow. They

the flow line. II was a pretty good
flow line but every joint began
spraying oil. Then the casing in

which became bubbling fountain.

UNCLE WIGGHY'S FLYING
SLED

After Uncle Wiggily had gone ice
boat riding and he and Mrs. Twisty-
tail, the lady pig, had skated home
with empty condensed milk can tins
for skates, the rabbit gentleman
wanted to do something else to have
an adventure.
But what 40 you want to do?'
asked his wife, as she saw hlm
twinkling his pink nose in front OF
the looking glass, which he always
did before he hoped out.
Il don't just know what I want to
do," answered Mr.. Longears. you
know by tomorrow the winter will
be half gone and I should have as
much fun as I can in the snow and
ice before Spring comes
"Oh, yes, tomorrow is Candlemas
Day" said the lady rabbit. Il had
almost forgotten
"CandlemaS Day or Bear Day or
Grounding Day, whichever you
want to call it," said Uncle Wiggily.
THE old story is that if, on Can
dlemas Day, the sun shines. so the
Bear or Grounding sees his sha-
dow, he will crawl back into his
den and sleep for six weeks more,
during which time it will be Win
ter. But If the sun doesn't shine
