Powell as a forgotten man." be-

by Carole Lombard, so that She
may win first prize in a Scavenger
Hunt. Then she engages Powell
as the butler and the fun takes en-
a madden pace,
This balmy family, generally
/ known as "the batty Bullocks," in
cludes: One baffled husband who
has been thoroughly gated by a
slightly daffy wife. He is laughed
at by society's riffraff for permit
ting her to pamper a "protege Of
the rich" and for giving him the
freedom of the parlor. The hus-
band is further snaffled by the
wild expenditures and tall doings
Of his dizzy daughters. When his
j fortune is lost in the rattle of the
stock market, he is saved by the
butler who finally falls for the
sweet Establishments of the dizzier
daughter.
Something timely, different, and
amusingly mad in romantic comedy
will hit the screen of the Coliseum

co-starring Gene Raymond and Ann
Sothern and featuring Jessie Ralph
and Henry Stephenson.
Taken from the widely-read Cos
mopolitan magazine story Count
Pete" by Francis c. Cockren, this
latest Raymond-Sothern feature is
parallel to their recent "Hooray
for Love" only in that although
not a musical it is spiced with hit
music and gives them plenty of OPP
portunity to sing while romping
through unusual heart tangles. The
melodies, by Bert Kalmar Harry
Ruby and Sid Silvers, include Cab
in On the Hilltop" MY Heart
Wants to Dance and Lets Make
a Wish"
The story draws sophisticated
humor and good -natured horseplay
out of an adventurous young coll
lege graduates madcap solution Of
the unemployment problem. The
hilarity starts when Raymond hires
himself out to Miss Sothern, a will
full and uncomfortable Beverly Hills
heiress, to help her overcome her
fathers objections to fortune
hunter with whom. she fancies her
self in love. The complications set
in when Raymond falls in love with
his employer after doing much too
well at his job, which is to pose as
an insufferably arrogant foreign
nobleman and to insult her father
and aunt so thoroughly that they
will consider the favored sutton
rare catch by comparison.

WADE TALKS UPON
SOCIAL SECURITY
Explains New Federal Pro-
gram to Kiwanis Club;
Others Also Present

Stacey w. Wade, field representa-
tive of the Federal Social Security
Board in North Carolina, outlined the
provisions of the social security set
up to members of the Kwanis club
and others Friday night at the week
ly meeting Of the club. He came by
special invitation and a number Of
outsiders were invited to attend.
Mr.. Wade said there were three
classes of benefits under the security
act, inclu6ing monthly, lump sum
and death payments. He reviewed the
scale of compensation and the method
of determining payments based on
earnings and tax-payments by those
eligible over a period Of years. The
maximum retirement pay would be
$S5 per month. A man now 80 years of
age and having an income of $4,000
annually, who paid until the retire
ment date at the age of IS, a total
of 35 years, would draw a monthly
pension of S6042 per month. The
minimum payment to any part cipant
would be $40 per month after the age
of IS.
Mr.. Wade said over 100000 in
dividuals were already registered in
the country at large, with 456,710 in
North Carolina. Much of the prelimi-
nary work was done through postal
workers, he explained, paying tribute
to Their services. Payments on the
retirement basis will begin on Jan
uary 1, 1912 He said II 100000 persons
were under the unemployment insur-
ance setup, and 5000 blind persons
had been registered for aid, and an
additional 268,000 children.
The speaker quoted President Roose
welt on the need and objective of the
social security program. He said the
plan was not perfect and would be
changed from time to time as need
arose, but that it is the best program
for the purpose so far worked out. It
is cooperative in scope and purpose,
and every person was either in or out
of the range of the benefits, falling
in such ALLEGATIONS involuntarily and
those not in under the law could not
voluntarily participate.
The program for the meeting was
in charge of J. C. Gardner, past presi-
dent of the club. Only three of the
an attendance percentage of 92
D. L. Cannon was a guest of Dr. T.
S. Royster at the meeting, and guests
for the address included Mrs. E. r.
Austin, welfare superiK endent for
the county, and J. r. league, Hen
derson postmaster, who supervised
the preliminary registrations for the
social security records.
In addition, five members of the
Roanoke Rapids club were present in
making UP attendance records, in
GLIDING Ned Manning, president of
the club; Lawrence Stell, secretary
T. H Afford, L. S. Cannon and Car
roll Wilson.
At the conclusion of the address by
Mr.. Wade, opportunity was given for
questions, and many of these were
fired at the speaker, who explained

fessional actors are brought to Hen

depth of feeling with which he clothes
the sympathetic role of the unhappy
money-lender has been commended by
leading educators and students of
Shakespeare throughout the nation.
"Portia" is played by the lovely
Martha Kyle, collegebred and the
atre-reared, and who combines the
natural grace and charming vivacity
of youth with a wealth of experience

few remaining professional touring
companies. and this is their eighth
season under the direction of Mr..
Solman, who was long associated in
directorial capacities with George M.
Cohan, as wei as playing leading roles
on Broadway and on tour.
During the past eight years the
Avon Players have appeared in most
of the leading colleges and universe
ties in the South and middle west.
The same week that they come to
Henderson they play Duke University
Meredith College, and Wake Forest
College. so pronounced is their value
as an educational feature, as well as
highly entertaining from the theatre
cal standpoint, that instructors in
English in all sections of the country
have given students extra credits for
attending this play.

motion picture industry. Color is here
to stay.

influence on the color sense of people
as talking pictures have had and will
continue to have on the information

will play an important part in the re-

of our lives" /
