I have tried the best / could to fol-
low the careers of some of the Nut

yond our fondest expectations. I
worked very hard for a number of
years, and the work was much cas-
Ter because of the level country and
better roads. Yet the constant
grind of looking after the sick and

got entirely over the asthma and
was better other ways. Tucson is a
place of $4,000 people, and is in the
midst of the desert, and outside Of
the city nothing would grow but
cactus and small bushes, but in the
city there was plenty of water be-
ing pumped from wells from 20 to
80 feet deep, and you would not
know you were in the desert until
you went beyond the outskirts. The
winter there is like our fine Oc-
tober days, but the summer heat is
unbearable except to the Mexicans
and Indians. We spent lot of the
time out in the desert and on the
Indian reservation, and saw many
things that we did not know ex-
listed. We came back in May, 1880,
and have spent most of our time in
retirement and trying to have the
comforts of life. Edna's three chill

Som cthinR new fin Hollywood { The charm" story! The plots Of "charm" storjeB are romantic, but the sctory does not rely wholly on romance for its succesg. Tt Hap. pened One Night" was tho first of the series and "Broadway Bill.' the latest Frank Cnpra production ystarrlnR Warner Baxter md Myrna Looy. 'vhich opens at W1rncrE' State on Saturday. is the Hccond.
 The phenomenal success Of "ft Happened one Night"---it has hnd more repeat engagements than any other picture in inc history Of screen enterthinment---was not due either 10 the ftory or to the ac- tors but to charm of the picture. The story was simple, but the eleven reels Of film were 50 crowd cd with charming incidents that thentcr- -goers wore blessed with the most enjoyable evening of enter tainncnt they had ever expe- rlcnced. Broadway BIT" offers at much. ,.....
 Tho "charm" picture depends on n series Of engaging incidents rather than an involved plot. Re- member tho bitchhilsing sequence of "It Happened one Night" the rollicklng scene in the bus where the passengers joined in singing 'The Man on the Flying Trapczc" : tho intensely humorous and comic scene where Clark pretcnds that he is married to Claudette: the cpl sodc where Clark teaches ciaud- cite the correct way Of dunking q d0ughnut in coffee; and the side. splitting performance of Walter Connolly as ne marches to tho altar with Claudette on his arm. These were q few of the many episodes which moved audiences to unrc- strained laughter.
 Robert Hiskin, who wrote Lady For Day" and Tt Happened one Night and Frank Cnpra have con. structed "Broad way Bill" along similar lines. The superb nctine abilities Of Warner Baxter md Myrna L0y were employed in q series of highly humorous cpisode deh which, while furthcring the plot of the story, provide an evening Of entertainment which will be re. membcred by screen fans for years to come.
