moved the tatooed bust of a cow

lively as a long hunted fugitive

Thoughts For
Serious Moments

To be glad of life because it gives
you a chance to love and to work
and play and to look up at the
stars. to be satisfied with your pos
sessions, but not content with your
self until you have made the hest
of them-to despise nothing in the
world except falsehood and mean
ness and to fear nothing except
cowardice; to be governed by your
admirations rather than your dis
gusts; to covet nothing that is your
neighbours except his kindness of
heart and gentleness of manners;
to think seldom of your enemies,
often of your friends and every day
of Christ; and to spend as much
time as you can with body and soul
and spirit in Gods out-Of-doors.
These are little guide posts on the
foot path to peace.-Henry Van
Dyke.

 Ramon Novarro, who is also a Mexican, always stopped and chatted in Spanish when he was on the lot. Most of the other players hail Tony with 'Buenos dias." "Mr. Lionel Barrymore always says to me, Hello Sancho Panza,' which is his little joke"

There are only two days left to see the current outstanding double fea- ture bill at the PoIi theater, Postal Inspector" with Ricardo Cortez and Patricia Ellis, and The Jones Fam fly in their latest exploits in 'Back to Nature" with the regular cast of Jed Prouty, Shirley Deane, and Spring Byington.
 With the New Movie Season well under way another smash hit comes to this theater starting Saturday. 'Libeled Lady,, a picture which brings together such Versatile talent as Jean Harlow, William Powell, Myrna Loy and Spencer Tracy. Just imagine these four rowdy headlin- CTS, each 8 star in his or her own right, in the same picture. The story material of this picture is uniquely suited to the talents and personalities of these stars.
 As a publisher, Tracy, continually gets himself all tangled up in big libel suits and enlistS the services Of Suave Powell in unravelling himself. Miss Loy is the lady about whom the accidental scandal is printed and if she doesn't kick up a rum puS no one else can. The whacky. incidents will keep you in 8 tur- moil throughout the duration of the show and with Harlow complicat- ing things further, mixing matri- monial situations with high pres sure drama and romantic intrigue, this performances tops all preced- ing comedies. 'Libeled Lady" is filled with invigorating fun for all.
 On the same program is some thing different from the routine crime-crook girl theme, the produc- tion based on the original story by Paul Burger in the guise of "lo Maiden Lane" with Claire Trevor and Cesar Romero. In addition to the furnishing potential entertain ment this story gives an illumin- ative insight into some of the most carefully guarded secrets of the dia- mond cutting trade.
 Don't forget tonight another or those popular Giant Screeno parties. With the jackpot as high as it IS now you can't afford to miss the many thrills this new and fascinat- ing game which has swept the country has in store for you.

associate writers, wrote the script as they went along, taking much of its color and novelty from the wild do- ings of the cast.
 It Wrote Itself
 LaCava kept rubbing the wits, wags, practical jokers and clever ad libbers who made up the cast against one another until they sud- denly forgot they were making 8 picture and broke loose, turning the shooting of this opus into a spon- taneous, hilarious, rip-snorting gag, wherein the story seemed to write itself. Then all LaCava's secretary had to do was stay on the set and take down in shorthand the things that happened among the players.
 And every night LaCava and the other writers went over this mater ial and worked it into form for the next days shooting.
 First of Its Kind
 Never was 8 picture made in this manner before-and, according to many, never before has such 8 bit of dynamic wit and explosive hu- nor been filmed.

 And, as they worked together Hollywood sat back and waited wondering what would happen pondering whether one or the other would give way to deeper feelings.
 Could Carole Lombard and Will liam Powell forget their years of married life, and carry on just as pair of movie stars? Or would they betray their real emotions and give filmdom a spicy tidbit to go with its coffee and cocktails?
 Would They Be Naturar
 How would they act on the set and before the camera? Would they be their natural selves, or would past memories haunt them and doom the picture to failure?
 ,'My Man Godfrey" is answering those questions by breaking all Hol- lywood records for box office achievement and presenting Pow ell and Miss Lombard in the best performances of their careers.
 The picture is 8 natural and Waterbury bound, it is being unan- 1mollSly declared one or the pest or the year wherever it has been shown. Whether or not it will prove the best box office of 1886 remains to be seen, but to date it has brok- en every drawing record for the past 12 months.
 Reason for Popularity
 There is a unique and very inter- esting reason for this pictures amazing popularity. Director Greg ory LaCava and Carole Lombard claim, and the other members of the cast heartily agree, that its .tremen- dous appeal lies in the fact that it was made in fun.
