James R. Roberts has been
awarded a contract by the st.

dome of the church. The large
dome has been gradually fitting to

while the slant is not great, it has
reached the point where the steeple
is six inches out of line. Mr.. Rob

as chance would have it, is Miss
Rochelle's betrayer. Through the
seasons, the pastoral simplicity and
beauty of New England life, the
drama works out its course. Fin
ally, pilloried by malicious gossip,
Miss Hudson fees from the home
to lose her way on the river ice
which is breaking up. In a climax
which sets a high standard for sus-
pense and sheer excitement, the
girl is retrieved from death by the
narrowest margin, and the tangled
threads of the lives of the princip-
ais are happily brought together in
the climax of the drama. Way
Down East" features Slim Sum-
merville, Margaret Hamilton and
Andy Devine in the roles of local
characters whose behavior helps to
lend the picture the stamp of au-
thenticity.
Friday and Saturday, Big
Broadcast of 1886" combines a di-
verting comedy plot with an i'm
pressive collection of stars, garner
ed from the top ranks of radio,
stage and screen. Such comedians
as Jack Oakie, Burns and Allen
and LYDIA Roberti are leading char
acters in the farcial story, and in
addition, an imposing array of
famous personalities such as Bing
Crosby, Amos n Andy, Ethel Mer-
man, Bill Robinson, Ray Noble and
his orchestra, Willie, West and Nc
Ginty, Mary Boland and Charles
Ruggles contribute speciality num-
bers. The story centers around the
adventures of two radio entertain
ers who fall into the hands of a
young countess, Jack Oakie and
Henry Wadsworth own and operate
their own radio station. To avert
bankruptcy the boys decide to COM
pete in an international radio con
/ test. Burns and Allen bring their
television invention, the Radio Eye,
to the studio. Lydia Roberti, rich,
romantic-minded countess, and her
social secretary, Mendy Barrie,
meet the boys. Miss Roberti kid
maps Oakie and Wadsworth on her
private yacht and takes them to
her Cuban island estate to decide
which one she wants to marry. In
their frantic effort to escape, in
cluding a thrilling chase, Oakie in
calling Burns and Allen for help
with the Radio Eye, unwittingly
takes part in the broadcasting con-
test. An uproarious finale closes
the fun film. As background to
the main theme, different special

Watch Out For Too
! Much Coal
To the Editor of The Times:
Some few years ago I was
alone in the house, retiring
about 10:30 p. m. 1t was a very,
very cold night. I had a very
hot fire in the furnace to keep
the house warm and pipes from
freezing. Shortly before retir-
ing for the night I went into
the cellar and heaped coal on.
I really put too much on, as
I remembered afterwards the
coal was above the fire pot
proper. I then, as I thought,
closed the damper as usual. But
in some unaccountable way I
must have almost closed it en-
tirely. was almost asleep
when I heard what sounded
like a big puff or sort of eX-
plosion, then a noise like iron
falling.
Getting out of bed, I went at
once to the cellar. which was
uncomfortably filled with coal
gas. Every door on the fur.
mace had been blown open and
the damper had fallen shut.
All the coal gas was pouring
from the furnace.
People should be warned
about putting a great amount
of coal on, and then closing
the damper almost entirely. If
1 had fallen asleep, I would
not have heard the explosion
of gas in the furnace and would
not now be writing this warn
ing. I intended doing so be-
fore. when the accident hap
pened in Georgetown with loss
of life. At the moment I
think sickness prevented me.
