Alva's trouble had to do with
school. A truant officer called at
her parents residence after she
had been missing clasSes-playlng
hockey, we used to call it-and
told her mother that she was
spoiled and didn't appreciate the
value Of money.
The 15-year-old youngSter then
decided to try life on her own. She
took a 32-caliber pistol from her
home, when she left on october
IS, and purchased butcher knife
at the 5-and-10 cent store. Cha
peroned by this arsenal, she
started forth on her adventures.

Alva explained, in her first inter.
view after returning home. Every
time got In q truck 1 told the
driver he could give me q ride II

Then Alva would produce her
arsenal consisting of the unloaded
pistol and the 10-cent butcher

The drivers took cogniZance OF
these weapons, and were most re-
spectful to the 15-year old miss,
who was fleeing home all on &C
count Of the truant officer.
Not until she reached Sa-
vannah, Ca, did she discover
that her pistol was unloadeo,
then she sold it for $40.
Still inspired with the ambi-
ton Of showing the truant off
Ger she could take care OF her
self, Alva got q job on the farm
of c. B. Pryor, near Oliver, Ga.
Here she contracted a severe
case of poison ivy, while trying
to herd the farmers goats.
other experiences include climb
ing q pecan tree to escape from
a runaway horse, and cutting her
foot to the bone while trying to
ride q refractory mule.
Still Alva persisted, though her
heart ached for the comforts OF
home, She was determined to
show the truant officer she could
make good. She had taken to
the road as q boy, with her hair
cropped, wearing a pair OF rid
ing pants, the seat Of which was
torn out later in climbing a fence
while doing farm chores.
Meantime, Alva's distracted
parents were offering rewards for
any information relating to their
daughter. Her fat her, Vlggo

but he couldn't detect his daugh-

Finally Mr.. Pryor began to have

and wrote a letter to Washington,
which was burning up the wires
in pursuit Of Alva.
The Thyrrings offered 5000 to
Mr.. Pryor for information leading
to the whereabouts Of the missing

given herself away and should
have the 5000 herself.

Beauty
Treating Skin
Blen7iSheS
By DONNA GRACE


Those who are afflicted with
acne, pimples or kindred skin
blemishes usually rub on creams,
lotions or anything they feel may
bring relief.
i It is quite natural for them to
do everything they can to clear
the skin of these disfiguring erup-
tions. Putting on the lotions and
some creams may be just the
treatment necessary, but the one
most important thing to bear in
mind when treating any blemiSh
or skin eruption is to avoid rub
bing.
Never rub the broken or in
fected skin surface on any part
of the body.
Rubbing or any manipulation OF
a localized infection is always a
mistake, as it may spread the in
fection.
The theory of treating these
eruptions, according to the mod
ern skin specialists, is cleansing
and drying the skin surface.
Washing and Scrubbing the sur
face with soap and water is the
first step, and regular face sham
poos, followed by thorough rims
ing in clear water, will often prove
a cure for even severe cases.
Those whose skins are SO af-
fected nearly always have a tend
ency to put their hands or finger
tips on the face. It is such a bad
habit, and so often will result in
further infection.
We should avoid touching the
hands to the face at all times
even when there are no skin blem
iShes. Hands should be Surgically
clean, if we are going to rub them
over the face.
When the fingertips are used to
press out blackheads, wrap the
tips with SteriliZed gauze to pro-
tect the skin. When the skin has
been thoroughly washed and
rinSed, pat it dry; then sponge the
surface with the following lotion:
3 ounces Of a saturated Solu-
ton of boric acid
ounce of roSeWater
5 drops of neroli oil
Saturate a little pad of absorb.
ent cotton with the lotion and use
it three or four times a day. Keep
the lotion ice cold, If possible. and
it will have a more drying effect.

BERKELL, THE GREAT MAGICIAN, PREFERS
TO BE RECOGNIZED AS DRAMA PRODUCER
Social Call Ends in Profes-

Stunts.

He doesn't parade the fact, but
Charles Berkell, well-known stock
producer, now director of the Fed

professional magician, known in
vaudeville circuits as THE Great
Berkell."
This was revealed when j. Elder

fore President and Mrs. Roosevelt,
called at Keith's to visit his old
friend. He had a few new card
tricks which he believed would in

What started as social cali end
ed in professional display of many
new stunts by Mr.. Blackledge, and
many old ones by Mr.. Berkell.
When it was over, each wanted to
trade tricks. But ethics of the
magic profession prohibits trading
between practitioners.

Blackledge does that Arabian rope
trick. I've seen lots of rope tricks,
but this one stumps me-" said Mr..
Berkell
Magic Man Mystified
eff it were possible, I'd gladly
let you in on it in exchange for a
squint at how you do your Ace of
Hearts stunt. It's new one on
me-" replied Mr.. Blackledge, equally
mystified.
DR.. Lee r. Norvelle, state theater
project director, innocent bystand-
er at the exhibition, revealed that
he, too, knows something about
magic. After leaving army service,
Mr.. Norvelle visited India, where
he saw some of the worlds most
expert rope tricksters perform.
DR.. Norvelle suggested that Mr..
Berkell and Mr.. Blackledge put on
a magic show-"make it a contest"
Count me out of that" said Mr..
Berkell, "I'm not a magician, I'm
directing stock company"
Mr.. Blackledge, too, politely re-
tired from competition. He said he
couldn't match Mr.. Berkell's abil-
ity in the directors field.

Find Romance Films Dull?
Double Feature at Circle
Offers ChiIIs and Thrills
Executed Convict Is Brought Back to Life by Heart Spe
ciaIst; Then He Is Slain Again, This Time by

Fans fed up on the recent wave

First comes the screens No. 1
DOGGY Man, Boris Karloff, who plays
the part of an electrocuted MUIR
derer brought back to life to clump
through 5905 feet of film attempt
ing to avenge his wrongful death.
The story, shade more logical
than some Of Mr.. Karloff's vehicles,
deals with gangsters who kill a
Judge because he convicts one of
them. To cover up their crime they
frame John Elman, just out of the
penitentiary, pin the murder on
him. He appears before the judge
who sent him to prison the first
time and is sent to the chair.
Appeals Too Late
Three minutes before he is to be
executed young doctor and nurse
who saw the mobsters throw the
judges body into Elman's car tell
all. Too late, the doctor appeals to
his senior partner, specialist in
making dead hearts beat, to attempt
to bring the executed man back to
life. He does.
On earth again, Elman plays the
piano, remembers enough about
what the gangsters did to him to
send three of them to death with
his hypnotic eye. Two gang sur
vivors slay him a second time. Then
the Williams get their due.

WiII Rogers
Movie Tops
Apollo Bill
Changes. Are Few in Picture
Which Appeared Here
5 Years AGO.
BY JOHN w. THOMPSON

Five years ago tomorrow "a Con-
necticut Yankee film starring VIII
Rogers, opened at the Apollo The
ater. Movie men were not certain
how the humorist would do at the
box Office.
Today the Apollo revives the Aim
and from what we've heard there is
pittle doubt about what it will do
this time.
Judging by the film, there has
been little change in status quo
since Mr.. Rogers appeared five
years ago. Wise-cracks, pertinent at
the time, still are pertinent, even
funnier. Only the quips about light
wines and beer are antiquated.
AS you may recall, the story starts
when Hank (Mr. Rogers, a radio
repair man, goes out on job dur

ItuEs, manufacture of arpIor service
stations where knights are over
hauled, telephones in every room of

iconveniences Hank provides the
boys.
He runs across his ancestor Clar-
ience, sentenced to be executed for a
petty crime. To save the boy and
himself, Hank threatens to blot out
the sun. The King falls on his knees
before Hank when the eclipse takes
place. A pocket almanac gave Hank
advance information on the eclipse.
King Arthur promptly dubs the new
Subject Sir Boss.
When Artilur's sister, Morgan lie
Fay (Myrna Loy), abducts his
daughter, Alisande (Maureen o.

Queens castle with a fleet of small

Sautogyro. Every one is saved and the
