COLORFUL ROMANCE

Of the many historical romances
which have lately been transferred to
the screen, Nell Gwyn," which comes
to the Vance Theatre today and to-
morrow with the lovely Anna Neagle
playing the pretty, witty Nelly and
Sir Cedric Harwicke, the Bishop Of
LES Miserables," as her royal lover
Charles II, stands out as the most col
orful and entertaining.
Handsomely mounted and superbly
directed by the producer, Herbert
Wilcox, Nell Gwyn" lifts the gaudier
and gayer incidents of Nells career
bodily from the pages of the match
less Diary of that arch-gossip, Samuel
Pepys. A hint of how faithfully the
film follows the facts is contained in
the screen title which credits the
dialogue to Charles II, Samuel Pepys

last-named being the sceneartist who
welded the incidents together

BOARD
IN ROUTINE MEET
School Bus Crowding De-
clared Due to Scarcity of
Trucks Here

A routine meeting of the Vance
County Board of Education was held
today, with only routine matters re-
ceiving attention, it was stated.
After the meeting, Chairman J. c.
Cooper explained that the stir over
the crowding of school buses at the
Townsville school grew out of short
age of bus equipment and en- unex-
pected increase in enrolment at
Townsville this year. A year ago the
Board of Education advised the State
School Commission that the 81 buses
allotted this county were insufficient
for the needs after the commission
had ordered the reduction of trucks
from 35. The commission was invited
to send representative here to make
an inspection, and also to allot at
least two more buses to the county,
but no relief was granted.
The difficulty that has arisen is
through no fault of the county board
it was stated.

INSURANCE SUITS
HAVE BEEN ENDED
Agreement Out of Court
Reached in Death of
Late N. r. White

A settlement out of court has been
reached in suits against the New York
Life Insurance Company growing out
of claims after the death of the late
N. r. White, who died in the early
summer, it was learned today at the
office of E. o. Falkner, clerk of SUI
perior court.
The New York Lie was defendant
in two actions, in one of which Mrs.
Moss r. White, the widow, and the
First National Bank in Henderson
were plaintiffs, and in the other of
which Mrs. White alone was the plain
tiff. The policies were for $4,000 each,
but each carried the double indem-
nifty clause for accidental death,
which was alleged in the suits.
Settlement in each case was for So,
OO6.95. It had been understood at one
time the suits would be transferred
to Federal court, but necessity for this
was avoided when the settlement was
reached out of court.
