WAITS FOR HER BOY

Mother Patterson never has a waking moment without
thinking of her boy. His wide eyes look down on her from
every corner of the house. She smiles up at him and tries not
to weep when she thinks of him locked up in Jail these four
and a half years. She works hard all day long but she doesn't
mind it. She even found time to nurse Mother Williams through
a terrible sickness that lasted for months, caring for her until
she was able to go home to her six little children.
Mother Patterson has not lost hope. She knows all the
people she spoke to at all those meetings from coast to coast
will do all they can to free her boy. She does not fear the new
trial that's coming-though her kind eyes flash when she talks
about that Victoria Price and the new lying warrants she
just swore out in Scottsboro against those children. She is
waiting brayely for the day when she can take down all those
pictures off the walls, because her boy, her Haywood, will be
home again where he belongs.

Both nations are ruled by little

1t costs money to equip arm

No Copyright
[ understand that there has
been some g%rumbling about the
disparity in the standards of
living between rich and poor
in both nations.
In both instances the militar-
lists have sought to stay the dis
content by telling their people
that greater glories and better
standards of living depend on
foreign conquest. The japanese
rulers thought of it first, but
there's no copyright on ideas.

The can has been chosen with excellent judgment, and the last ounce of drama and comedy is extracted from the script by the capable players who make up the ensemble.
 Bill Boyd has been seen in va- riety of roles in his cinema career, but he has never been more suc- cessfully cast than he Is here in the role, of a slick, high pressure "con man" with an ingratiating person. ality and contempt for the aver- age man and woman.

STRAND

The years gayest and most col- orful musical romance, "Rober- ta" starring Irene Dunn, Fred As- taire and Ginger Rogers, graces the Strand theater screen today, tomorrow and Wednesday.
 Featuring the singing of Miss Dunn, the dancing and singing of Astaire and Miss Rogers, and a brilliant display of feminine fashions by q regiment of beauti- ful mannequins, the production offers sparkling entertainment of tremendous appeal.
 Melody and dance numbers and the lavish fashion displays all are woven logically into a fast moving, thoroughly plausible story which combines tender roc nance with gay comedy.
 Love interest centers about Miss Dunne and Randolph Scott, al- though there is more than . sug- gestion of romance in the battle of wits between Astaire and Miss Rogers and their teaming of dance wizardy.
 The story revolves about the comedy-ric situation of an All- American football player falling heir to a fashionable Paris gown shop. The grid hero and his band leader pal set the world of fash. ion agog, the hearts of the ma. demoiselles atwitter, and the feet of the ParIsians aflame during the course of their hectic adventures.
 Jerome Kearn, King of musical comedy composers, wrote the mu. sic for the screen production.
