HALLOWEEN FRANKS
BORDER ON SERIOUS

Halloween pranks were more nu-
merous and much more evidently in
the celebrations of Friday and Satur-
day nights than in years here, and
some of them bordered on the seri-
Gus. In addition to the topsy-turvy
handling of chairs, gates and the like
at the front of residences, some pro-
perty showed up missing and has not
been located$ yet, it was learned to-
day. Whether the pranksters hid
these items so we'll that they have
not yet been located, or actually car
ried them off for their own uses was
not determined. But items were mis-
sing and had not been found.

MEETING DEFERRED

The regular monthly meeting of the
Vance County Board of Education set
for today was deferred until a later
date. Superintendent E. M. Rollins

HOLLYWOOD, May 8. - CNEA)
The Endorsement business amounts
to quite nice little sideline for movie
stars, and may keep them in
cigarets, shoes. automobiles, tooth
paste, or whatever products they
choose to approve.
Several get good cash money in
addition to free samples and the
publicity afforded by publication of
their pictures. More of them than
skeptics would guess actually use
the products they indorse. Popu-
larity is fragile thing, and they
have to be pretty careful.
Western stars, for example, do
not indorse cigarets. One horse
opera hero appeared in tobacco
advertisement and received great
many disappearing letters from
prent-teacher associations. For sew
erai months mis- pictures actually
were dropped from some of the
preferred lists compiled by local
censors.

Powell Star
OF Mystery
Comedy Hit
Eek Mrs. Bradford Features
Suave Actor in Thin
Man Role.
BY JOHN w. THOMPSON


To most of us a William Powell
picture is like mama from the
heavens. Let it be known that that
"manna's here again, this time
in THE Ex-Mrs. Bradford" in
which Mr.. Powell is starred with
Jean Arthur. 1t opens at the Circle
today.
In Thin Man" type of role,
the Suave Powell is cast as DR..
Lawrence Bradford, aff1uent gen.
tleman about town whose penchant
for solving mysteries is squelched
by his eX-wife, Paula She naively
gets him all mixed up whenever
the opportunity is presented.
When jockey dies suddenly dur
ing a horse race and the owner of
the horse, Mike North, asks DR..
Bradford to examine the body for
signs of foul play, it is the ex-Mrs.
Bradford who gets her ex-husband
into the case.
Suspected of Murder -
DR.. Bradford finds q jelly-like
substance on the boys arm but
nothing to indicate murder. Yet
Paula hangs onto to the murder
theory. Later Mike North's body
falls in through DR.. Bradford's
front doorway and the police sus-
pect him of murder.
The same type of jelly-like sub
stance is found on Mike. After a
run-in with a gang of book makers
who all but take Dr. Bradford for
ride, he accidentally discovers
the murderer and the missile. We
won't spoil it for you by telling.
The plot of THE Ex-Mrs. Brad
ford'' is an unusually intriguing one
especially since Mr.. Powell and
Miss Arthur's acting could stand a
much lighter story. A good story
and a good cast is a rare combina-
ton and this is a rare picture.
The comedy is, if anything, even
spicier than the Thin Man" and
every bit as carefree as "Mr. Deeds
Goes to Town." even though
Stephen Roberts and not Frank
Capra directed it.
For instance, when Paula dis
covers a test tube containing the
jelly-like substance DR.. Bradford
had found on the Jockeys body
she steals it, has it analysed and
is told there is nothing poisonous
in it. Undaunted, she serves Mr..
Powell an entire meal made up OF
nothing but gelatin foods. There
is gelatin consomme and gelatin
salad and gelatin desert. All
throug the meal she keeps asking
him if he doesn't feel faint or dir
zy. When he doesn't she is non
plussed and tells him her secret.
Able Supporting Cast
Again, when Powell battles with
a burglar he had discovered in his
apartment, Paula attempts to help
swings a vase over the scuf1in.
couple and puts her lover out like
a light. The picture is full of such
situations.
Mr.. Powell has an added touch
OF dignified humor in his role
which makes it even more forceful
