 Tn "No More Ladies" you have Joan Crawford and Robert Mont. gomery co.starred and that alone should be sufficient, but then there is real story In this picture full of every ingredient necessary for the best picture and with the cast it makes entertainment that Is un. beatable.

 Joan and Bob, seem inspired in this picture, Joan more glorious than ever with the latest of cos. tunes, new hair-dresses and all of her artistry and Bob, devil-may- care as usual, even a little bit more, but loyable, as the husband who likes to step out . little will captivate the hearts of all females.
 Sharing the same program there will be the newly crowned 'stariet' Jane Withers, to many this name means nothing but when we tell you that this is the young lady who played the 'meanie' in "Our Little Girl' with Shirley Temple then you will remember her, well this time she comes as another in. troduction of new star of Polls, and as much as you detested her In "our Little Girl" that and more you will love her In "Ginger" w..!eh is the title of the feature that she will be seen in, assisting her will be Jackie Searl, o. r.

 Pat o'Brien, as the young Ameri- can whose unbclivable loyalty to the firm he represents makes no sacrifice too great, no hardship too terrific for him, adds to the list of screen characterizations that have raised him high in the ranks of outstanding stars.
 Josephine Hutchinson, com paratively new to the screen, but a star of Broadway, proves her histrionic ability in the way she handles the part of O'Brien's wife whose baby is born dead during her husbands absence.

A MISERABLE life. embittered lA by unsympathetic parents and depressed further by deafness. par. tial blindness. sleeplessness. and 6 body racked by disease. left only sorrow and despair to one of Italy's greatest poetic geniuses - Count Giacomo Leopardi. This unhappy scion of an impoverished aristo- cratic family lived only 3a years, yet in that time he produced mas terpieces of prose and poetry which placed him on equal footing with the greatest poets of history. His afflictions. coupled with his fathers and mothers indifference. brought out in his writings ali that was sorrowful and disparaging. His genius was such that his work is considered classical.
 In 1882, Italy issued series of 12 stamps in commemoration of the Dante Alighieri Society. which had been formed to promote develop ment of the Italian language and culture. One of these stamps was devoted to Count Leopardi.
