Film Shows
Comedian as
Coli Raiser
Actlon-FiIIed Movie Opens
Today at Apollo for
City Run.
BY JOHN w. THOMPSON

With more thrills than there were
in David Harum," and more nat
ural acting than in any Of his pic
lures except state Fair" the last
of the Will Rogers films, In Old
Kentucky opens today at the
Apollo. 1t is one of the best of his
pictures.
The cast, although not filled with
star names, does admirably with the
modernized script Of the play which
has been presented almost everv-
where during the last 30 years. The
: late Mr.. Rogers is presented as
philosophical horse trainer who
breeds colts into champions and
smooths the course of love for two
youngsters.
The action land there's plenty
takes place in the Sunny Souths
blue grass country.
The feud between the Shattucks
and the Wlrtingales is fomented by
the fact that each has a horse en-
tered in the Ashford sweepstakes.
Rogers Is Fired
Originally trainer for the Shat
tucks, Rogers is fired when he is
found harboring Martingale, who
has been bounding Shattuck with an
j old rifle. The eccentric Martingale
,ois taken under Rogers wing mainly
Is hPH9IJCn he n ho1yN M
gales granddaughter, played by
Dorothy Wilson. After Shattuck
fires him, Rogers and his valet, Bill
Robinson, start to train Greyboy,
the Martingale entry in the race.
81, a professional rain maker, a ro-
'mantlC young horse trainer and
dirty work at the crossroads" help
to bring the picture to an uproar-
iously funny conclusion.
Mr.. Rogers was never more pleas
ing, and much more at ease in In
Old Kentucky than he was in sew
p" eral earlier films. He is more the
= horse trainer and not so much Will
. Rogers. This is a credit instead of
debit as far as the picture is con-
cerned
Not Much Plot
The picture suffers badly from a
lack Of plot. Because of the void
there is great deal of rushing to
and fro, of stumbling horses, frus-
trated romance and uncertain char
acters.
In Old Kentucky" doesn't suffer
from anything else. The final horse
race sequence has been realistically
done, even though we never heard |
of a woman jocky putting one over
Xix that before.

rnE RACE BkFWEEN TiIE sExEs

Amelia Earhart, famous aviatrix
said the other day that her aim was
to equal all records at aviation made
by men. She plans to do everything
in that line that men have done.
One can't help feeling admiration
for a young woman who has thus
overcome the handicaps of her sex.
She is not satisfied just to beat wo-
mems records. She asks simply to
compete on even terms, and asks no
favors because Of sex.
Probably that win be the ideal of
many women. Up to now the feeling
has existed, that women must be
favored in competition, partly be-
cause of various physical handicaps.
partly because the natural Occupa-
tions and duties Of family life inter-
fere with the performance of women
in business and industry.
So far as we can look into the fu-
ture, the chief business Of women
will be to take charge OF a home,
bring children into the world. and
train and care for them. But an in
creasing number of women for vari-
Gus reasons do not feel attracted to
that kind of career. There must be
a wide open opportunity for them TO
seek other fields.
They have a chance TO do well in
with men, since there
are so many men who do not take
The work of life seriously. Millions
Of them are not interested in high
attainment. They never studied hard
in school, they are not thorough in
heir jobs or business, they are in
-erested principally in sports, the
hings they eat and drink, and plea
'ures generally. Any serious girl or |
woman who follows such an example /
Is Miss Earhart, will distance these |
male competitors, and have
/ chance to enter the front ranks of .
achievement.

MY FRIEND

Composed by Wallace WOotten,
Lincoln, Del, in honor of his !
schOOlmatc and friend, Nelson
Morgan J
A Friend so dear he was to me,
A Friend more dear he could not be
His beaming face and sunny smile,
We schOOlmates will miss all the
while.
Good humored, brilliant and good
sport was he,
Few faults in him could anyone see
And tho his life is at an end,
will always remember him as my
Friend.
Cheerfully he came to school each
day
And cheerfully at night went On Lis
way,
Studying and working he did not
mind,
A cowardly act he would always de-
cline.
To his parents It was terrible blow
It may be for best for al We tfnoW',
For life is not a bed of roses, we
may pick from every day,
But IS mixed with cares and sorrows
that are sure to come our way
