Boy Keeps Faith With

Senator j q m es w. Pope, OF
Idaho, found his faith in his fell
low man strained to near-breaking
point yesterday afternoon, but
today the Idahoan's faith was
still intact - and, if anything,
stronger than ever.
Senator Pope went to the ball
game at Griffith Stadium and,
when he couldn't find a parking
place, he entrusted his automobile
to a small boy, who gave his name
as Mills" and who said he would
meet the Senator after the game.
But he didn't, and the gentleman
from Idaho informed police his
car had been stolen.
But when he returned to his
home at the Northumberland
Apartments he found the boy had
telephoned Mrs. Pope to say he
would return the car right away"

Gay Drama At
Roadside

Plays may come and plays
may go, but Murder in the Red
Barn" goes on for it's third time
at Roadside Theater, to mark
their final production for this
season.
Roadside has brought back
Eugene Kressin and Janet Coon,
who tackle the roles they pos.
sessed in the original produc-
ton. Kressin, as the william for
the third time, does exception
ally well, and gives light to be-
ing cast in other types Of parts.
His "jail scene" was applauded.
Janet Coons, coupled with
"funster" Fred HaSkin, do proud
with their slap-stick comedy
roles.
AS a revenging gypsy, Hugh
M. Smythe pulls the best from
his assignment, while Betty
Gray tears her heroine to
Shreads, doing a wall Of a job.
Murder in the Red Barn"
strange as it may seem, has no
hero, unless you can class the
part of PharoS Lee, q gypsy,
played by John Van Sikken, in
this caliber. Lee brings the
william to justice. So if police
are heros, there is a hero.
There occurred two startling
happenings last night. One made
the audience wonder, and the
other made them gasp.
What made them wonder was
where did such a realistic baby

quite baby waller.
What made them gasp, was

STORY OF HIGH HOPES
It appears that a good por.

tol Theater footlight bill is built
on Hopes. Lest you fail to ap.
preciate a poor pun, we wish
to explain that the act billed
as Lew Parker & Co., in the
Follies of 1887" was, first, con-
ceived, written and staged by
that clever comic, Bob Hope.
Secondly, Lew Parker, is one of
the most successful of Bob
Hopes proteges.
Next, the chief Stooge in the
audience with this act is none
other than George Hope, Bob's
clever young brother, who is as
def a laugh getter as the elder
Hope. And to round out our
Hopeful tale we learn that
Marion Bailer, another member
of this group, is in private life
George Hopes wife. Which
makes her Bob's SiSter-in-law,
and which makes the whole
business a good family enter.
