ROME. italy, August 28.-There
were nine Romes before the Rome

Ball Inn on Broadhalfpenny Down,
Hambledon. often called the cradle
OF the game cricket, is to be rebuilt.

 ment Here Sunday <

"Another Dawn" with Kay Fran cis and Errol Flynn also ''Fury and the Woman" with William Gargan and Molly Lamont conclude their engagement at Warner Brothers State theater tomorrow night.
 It was inevitable that the power full drama behind the headline stories of war-torn Spain would be seized upon by Hollywood for a mo- tion picture. Paramount not only earns the distinction of being the first but also for producing what is one of the most gripping and hu- man stories told on the silver screen.
 The story is "The Last Train From Madrid" which headlines & brilliant Fourth of July celebration show at the State starting Sunday. It Is one of the most important pie lures of year and if you want to see what Hollywood really can do in the way of weaving human emotions into soul-stirring entertainment you must not miss it.
 The story takes ten persons, most of them unknown to each other, and throws them together in twelve feverish hours between the time it is announced that a train will leave the war-stricken Spanish capital with carefully chosen passengers

DOUBLE FEATURE
 AT LOEW'S POLL
"A Day at the Races Head- lines Program Begin-
 ming Tomorrow

"A Day at the Races" brings the Marx brothers-Groucho, Harpo and Chico-to the Loew Poli screen starting Saturday in what Is de- scribed as the maddest, merriest, most amusing piece of MarXmania that these inimitable comedians have ever delivered to an expectant public,
 Directed by Sam Wood, who filmed the last Marx brothers tri- umph, "A Night at the Opera" the new picture boasts a stellar cast of supporting names, including Maui reen O'Sullivan in the faminine lead, and Allan Jones, who sings several new song hits, among them "On Blue Venetian Waters" "To- morrow Is Another Day." and "A Message from the Man in the Moon." Also prominent in the cast are Margaret Dumont, who has talk en a lot of punishment" from the Marx lunatics in previous pictures, Leonard Ceeley, Douglass Dum- brille, Esther Muir and Robert MiddlemasS.
 The plot of "A Day at the Races" which shifts from a sanitarium to a race track, introduces Groucho Marx as "Dr. Hugo z, Hackenbush," a horse doctor who takes charge of the sanitarium. Harpo Marx is seen as jockey and Chico as a racetrack frequenter who sells good ice cream and bum tips on the races, Mss O'Sullivan plays the girl who Is trying to keep the deep-dyed vile Han. Douglass Dumbrille, from fore- closing on her sanitarium. Jones plays the struggling singer who owns race horse. Miss Dumont, enacting the type who likes to talk about her operatoins, is all for Groucho because he had told her that she has double blood pressure.
 Esther Muir is the slinky vam- pire who tries to frame" Groucho but who gets pasted to the wall by Harpo and Chico, posing as paper hangers.
 The Marx brothers, with Sam Wood, who directed "A Night at the Opera" and a group Of writers, worked for a year preparing "A Day at the Races" for Metro -GoldWyn- Mayer. Laughs were submitted to the fine tooth-comb test; nothing less than a "belly-laugh" was kept In.
 The comedians are firmly con- vinced that no comedian who de- bends on new, original and special material can make more than one picture year and he sure the picture is a bulls eye. Every situa- ton, every laugh line in "A Day at at the Races" is new.
 It is a mistake to think "A Day at the Races has no plot. Sam Wood is rabid on the matter Of demanding plot motivation for every laugh. Briefly the idea behind this new film is that a girl is about to have her sanitarium stolen from her by dirty crooks" and the Marxes and Allen Jones prevent this through lunatickling situa- tons.
 The picture has a novel and glam- orous production sequence. This takes place at a water carnival with the audience seated on float ing rafts. There are scantily attired girls around a fountain stage, the curtain for which is natural spray. Allan Jones sings from a barge and the Marx brothers indulge in Marx mania throughout.
 And, of course, Chico plays the piano and Harpo does harp mum. ber-with a bit of piano playing of his own thrown in.
 The co-feature on this gala pro- gram is Born Reckless" with Brian Donlevy and Rochelle Hudson.

BRILLIANT CAST
 IN STRAND FILM
Edward C. Robinson in Lead Role in Kid Gala-
 had Sunday

Attractions concluding their en- gagement at Warner Brothers Strand theater tomorrow night in- clude Shall We Dance" with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, also Don't Tell the Wife," with Guy Kibbee, Una Merkel and Lynne Overman.
 Sundays new show will be fea- tured by "Kid Galahad" which boasts Edward G. Robinson, Bette Davis and Humphrey Bogart at the head of a brilliant cast.
 Made from the best-selling novel by Francis Wallace, ace sports fictionist, this Warner Bros. thrill CT deals not only with those ele- ments of the boxing ring with which everyone is familiar, but with the behind-scenes maneuver- ing of fighters and managers.
 Eddie Robinson, staunchly backed by his girl friend, Fluff" played by Miss Davis, has one contender for the championship. Bogart has another. There's an 11-round fight for the championship (said to be the most fiery ever thrown upon the screen), a duel to the death between the two managers after the fight, some vast scenes of Madi- son Square Garden-and yet, withal, a tender romance between Eddie'S fighter and Eddie'S sister.
 Besides the three well-established stars previously mentioned, there's a new star, revealed in the person of Wayne Morris, a 23-year-old newcomer who plays "Kid Gala had"-big handsome blond boy who gets the name because he has rev. erent ideas about womanhood. And new young leading lady in the person of Jane Bryan with whom he falls in love.
 The companion feature will be

The Sailor Starts Out.
- ANITA was dreadfully curious
when he woke the next morning
and found his toy shop already
~ at work. The sailor doll told
him they were making the fastest ice
boat in the whole North, called the
Spray
Then the Queen of Fairies said:
THE fox is wearing string of bells
If you need me steal the bells from
him and ring them. I'll come"
just before the sailor started to
search for Helga in his iceboat Mrs
Santa gave him a fine gift. 1t was a
warm suit of the softest white leather
with little jacket that fitted him
high about the neck
Then the sailor climbed into his boat
looked up to see which way the wind
was blowing, set his sails and slid
down the hill and out of sight.
He had scarcely been gone an hour
when he saw ahead of him dozens of
squirrels running eXcitedly in and out
of a big oak tree. So he reefed his
sails and came to a stop in their
midst.
Please. sir, where's the acorn?"
said lady squirrel all dressed up in a
long green coat.
A CORNS?" said the sailor. What
do you mean?"
Now, stop pretending" said the
lady squirrel. Give it to. me"
But I don't have one" said the
sailor.

soon reduce the prickly plants to
pulp. Water is stored in large guam
titles in cells in the paunch and used
by the animal as needed. 1t may last
several weeks if necessary, and the
animal never draws on its supply too
heavily until it is sure of another
long drink. The eyes are protected
from the glare of the sun and the
sands of the desert by a heavy cur
tain of overhanging lids. Small ears
indicate no need for high develop
ment of hearing; the nostrils are large
and can be closed at will The camel
never seeks the shade under which
to rest but kneels down with many
gruntS and groans on the soft. hot
sands in the glare of the glazing sun.
Alive, the camel, as you can see. is
very valuable, and it does not become
a loss when dead. The flesh of a
young camel has the flavor of young
veal. Camel hide makes fine leather;
the bones are polished and sold in
the place of ivory. The milk of the
animal is rich and nourishing, while
the fleecy coat of summer Is woven
into came's hair cloth, ropes and
shawls and also exported for small
brushes used by artists. So one does
not wonder that to the Arab this
animal is the gift of Allah.

other Coon was entering. Two more
followed. There now were six masked
visitors, the five young Coons being
two-thirds the size Of their mother.
1t was evident that all six were at
home there. Mother mounted the
boxes that made steps to the level
Of the lap of the hostess. Half in
that hospitable lap, she began to eat
from the dish of specially prepared
hearty food held for her. Now and
then she would stop to turn and
make sure that the children were
all right
They were. Two were drinking
milk. The others were feasting at a
pan of sweetened bread and pieces
of stale doughnuts and cakes. Like
so many other children, the young
Coons had liking for sweets.
Unconsciously. Sammy moved a
foot. 1t scraped along the floor. It
made the fa.ntest of sounds. An
exploding bomb could hardly have
had more startling results. Six rae
coons tried to plunge through that
private entrance-the cat hole. They
tried to do it at one and the same
time. AS Sammy afterward said, it
was like a football scrimmage. For
an instant there was tangle of
Coons in a pile from which waved
six ringed bushy tails. 1t was amaz-
ing how quickly they untangled and
were out.
Mother was the last one out. and
the instant she was safely out she
turned and thrust her head inside
again to see what the cause of the
fright might have been. Then she
withdrew, and the cat hole was
merely a square of blackness in that
corner of the woodhouse.
Sammy felt and looked bit
guilty, for he feared that he had
ended the evenings entertainment.
His laughing hostess reassured him.
They will come back" said she.
They have eaten only enough to
whet their appetites. They don't
know now what scared them. They
don't know If there really was any,
thing to be scared Of. They will
come back to find out. They don't
believe in taking chances, and !
guess perhaps they are right. They
run first and look into the cause
of the fright afterward. That was a
mother whom I call Beauty and her
children. They have been members
of the club for some time. But they
are not the only members. Goodness,
no! Wait until you see some Of the
others"
rs it a rule of this club that
guests shall wear masks?" asked
Tommy.
The hostess shook her head. Some
OF them wear stripes instead of
masks said she and chuckled.

no wild Arabian camels. Attempts
to introduce this burden bearer into
the desert regions of North America
and Australia have not been sue
cessful.
Intelligence of high order has not
been one of the gifts bestowed upon
the camel. His disposition is not more
lovely than his looks. Love for a
master is unknown to these creatures.
The love of their life is for their babies,
and this is unlimited.

r1mels are jealous, wicked lot, and

aStarted on a journey, the camel
will travel straight ahead for hour
after hour. But it has no sense of di-
rection. If it should detour for some
tempting bit of herbage, the Ounce
will go straight on from this point.
The camel stands about Z feet
high. Its long neck and legs add
70 its ungainly appearance. but they
are part of the plan for the job the
camel must put through for his mas
Ter. In travelling the legs on one side
are moved simultaneously, hence the
rolling, rocking, shiplike motion. The
ifeet are broad, with callous pads that
prevent the animal from sinking in
The sand and are too tough to feel
the heat and sharp stones. A grown
camel can carry without undue fa-
'Eigue, 500 pounds for 80 miles q
day. A riding camel can make with
ease a hundred miles a day. The
sallous pads on the joints of the
kegs are their rest cushions.
SThe lips are covered with skin so
tough they are not injured by sharp,
spiny desert plants. The strong teeth
