John Hanson, local chief of the

The reason for the warm weather
ON the Pacific coast. Jacobs indi-
Gated. was due to the fact that the
cold masses of air, which originate
in the Alaska region, are passing
eastward before moving south into

How long the coast and valley

not know. But it is certain that
the temperatures will not fall below
80 degrees before New Years day.

series of bank robberieS and the
White House was worried over
the inability of the Secret Serv-
ice to nab the higherups.
In this emergency, President
Mckinley called in q young naval
lieutenant, secretly commissioned
him to get at the source of the
trouble. Lieutenant Perry had to
ally with the safe openers, take
part in a job to get the informa-
ton he desired. Arrested with the
gang, he was precipitated into a
tangle when President Mckinley
was asSaSsinated, carrying the Sc
cret to the grave. It was Lii
Duryea, a cabaret girl (played by
Barbara Stanwyck), who saved
him when the rope was almost
around his neck. Roosevelt stayed
the execution and the truth came
out.
I confess I am fair prey for
these stories with horSe-and-
buggy sequences. This one has a
st. Paul beer garden Of the 1900's,
where a plump chorus in spangled
tights sings "Strolling Through the
Park One Day." Strike Up the
Band, Here Comes a Sailor" and
"Just Because She Made Those
Goo-Goo Eyes" The accompany
ing slang of the day has such
slayers as "Skidoo" and "23."
BARBARA IS GOOD
Barbara Stanwyck and the
handsome Mr.. Taylor make a fine
romantic tean1-much better than
in "His Brothers Wife" For one
thing Director william Setter has
overcome the Stanwyck propen-
Sity to be vehement by shouting
and soldering. She has never
been photographed to better adj
vantage, and her contralto sing
ing voice is heard in a very good
number, IT Hum a Waltz"
Victor MacLaglen looks like a
mug, and 6 he is congenially
cast as q dumb yeggman who
has a lotta fun with 10-cent
tricks and tries to do parlor
magic. Brian Donleavv Is AL
as the leader Of the bank thieves.
The opening scenes of the
White House reception for the
Army and Navy, and the impress
sive shots Of Arlington Cemetery,
get the pictur off to fine start.
"This Is My Affair" is well
worthy of Loew's Palace Theater
screen, where it opens on Friday.

JUST A LEGEND
Exchange Manager Sam Vince
Ter, of Twentieth Century-Fox,
insists that the story of This Is
Ny Affair." is founded upon real
facts in President McKinley'S
life. But Sam is mistaken. Ken
meth MacGowan, who produced
the picture, says so.
The legend is that President
Mckinley died without revealing
the secret mission he entrusted
to Naval Lieut.. Richard L. Perry,
leaving the latter facing the gal
lows, since nobody would believe
his story, or that he was in the
service Of the Government.
"This particular story" Nc.
Gowan explains, had been told
with q New York governor who
died in office and a newspaper
man secretly Investigating condi-
tions at Sing Sing prison, as the
principals. It was also told OF
President Lincoln and an agent
who was investigating counter
feiting in the Reconstruction pc
Rod Immediately after the Civil
war"
Anyway, the legend. as worked
out In This Is MY Affair"
make q Grade A movie. Which,
after all, was the idea. q
