TO EXHIBIT AT
LOCAL THEATRE

Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Tay-
lor form the screens newest roman
tic team in Ellis Brothers Wife,
which comes to the Marva theatre
next week.
Taylor, regarded as the most SEN
sational boy-office draw since Clark
Gable first leaped to fame, comes in
to his newest leading role following
such hits as private Number"
"Small Town Girl" and Magnificent
Obsession."
w. S. Van Dyke, the man who

"His Brothers Wife" tells of q
young scientist about to embark on
his first scientific expedition. On the
eve Of leaving New York for the
tropical jungle, Taylor, the young
scientist, goes on his final fling and
meets Miss Stanwyck in gay gamb-
ling casino.
For ten days their romance pro-
crosses and Taylor decided to for
sake the expedition, remain in New
York and marry Miss Stanwyck. He
is dissuaded from doing so by his
brother, and he accompanies Hersholt
into the jungle to trace the cause and
find cure for fatal spotted fever.
Meanwhile to avenge herself, Miss
Stanwyck marries Taylor's brother
and forthwith deserts him. The young
scientists love for the girl lures him
back to New York-to find her mar
ried to his own brother.
To solve the marital puzzle, Taylor
takes the girl back to the jungle so
that the brother can divorce her.
When the. divorce is granted, Taylor
renounces the girl and orders her to
return to New York. The spotted
fever campaign is successful and Tay-
Tor and Hersholt believe they have
reached solution to their scientific
problem.

herself and the young scientist fights
desperately to save her life-and
their love is reborn.
The story has been placed in two
extremely interesting yet contrasting
settings-the gay, happy night life of
New York and the sordid and suffo-
eating heat of dense South Ameri-
can jungle.
The settings were designed by
Cedric Gibbons. Lawrence Weingar-

POSTMASTER
APPOINTS
NEGRO

Mobile, Ala.-Postmaster Will
liam B. Taylor has finally appoint
ed a colored carrier here after
considerable agitation on his par
TALLY to white men on the civil
sevice list. The colored carrier
was appointed November 20. He
was number one on the list but
had been passed over twice by the
postmaster who has named two
white men since September 1.
After Postmaster Taylor passed
over colored men in the first and
third positions on the list, a pro-
test was sent to the Post Office
Department by the N. A. A. c. p.
in New York. The postmaster
however, appointed a second white
man when a vacancy occurred
November 1, ignoring the colored
men in number one and umber two
positions. When the third vacancy
occurred a colored man was chos-
en-.
In answer to the N. A. A. G. p.
protest the first assistant post
master general has advised that
the Washington office does not
have strict control over the ap-
pointment of civil service eligi-
bles by postmasters. Postmasters,
according to the Washington office
are held entirely responsible for
the performance Of their crews and
thus must be allowed some leeway
in the appointment of men from
the civil service list.
