60 families, at home in one of

Case of Grand Central Station.
Katharine Hepburn faced a
challenge when she accepted
this role in Holiday" Hope
Williams, a socialite actress,
had made brilliant success of
this Phillip Barry play in its
footlight treatment in 1929.
Then in 1881 Pathe Pictures
had made it with the cold,
patrician, blond beauty of Ann
Harding as the social rebel. 1t

career auspiciously.
Well, Katharine Hepburn
doesn't have to step back if
they begin comparisons. She has
contributed a remarkably fine
portrait to her acting gallery,
best since Morning Glory"
which won her the coveted
Academy award.
VERY GOOD WRITING
She has adorned the charac-
ter with her own personality,
and an acting trick or two that
relieve the result of carbon copy
criticism, make it a distinctive
Hepburn. She doesn't attempt
the flying trapeze, but she does
do a top mount, acrobatic bit
with Cary Grant that must have
required much rehearsal. It's
a lulu.
Holiday" as originally writ
ten. was a Snappy, Sophisticate
script. It's laughs are rational
and legitimate. its dialogue
sparkling, its emotional pull gen

sends over seems as appropriate
today-perhaps more so-than
it did in 1929. Very little rewrit-
ing is evident.

SPLENDID DIRECTION
AS for Johnny, he cares very
little about boarding greenbacks.
His philosophy is expressed
thusly: You see, I'm kind OF
a queer duck, in a way. I'm
afraid I'm not as anxious as l
might be for the things most
people work toward. You see.
it's always been my plan to
make a few thousands early in
the game, if I could. and then
quit for as long as they last, and
try to find out who I am, and
what I am, and what goes on
in the world, and what about it,"
Johnny Case makes his pile,
but Moneybags Seton objects to
his plans for long holiday. SO
does Julia. They call off the
engagement. Whereupon Linda,
who has been yearning for the
boy for a long time, makes
quick decision.
Says she: you've got no faith
in Johnny, have you, Julia? His
little dream may fall flat, you
think-yes? So it may. What
about it? What if it should?
Oh. I've got all the faith in the
world in Johnny. Whatever he
does is all right with me. If
he wants his holiday. he can
have his holiday. If he wants
to come back and sell peanuts,
Lord. how I'll believe in those
peanuts"

Loans, especially adapted TO

under titles l and 2 of the act.
There is almost no building or
construction for which a proper
loan cannot be obtained at low
interest. payable over extended
periods of time.
Loans are being made through
all kinds of loan agencies. They
are private money. The govern
ment only guarantees the safety
of the loan.
For the first time i'm history.
il is really true that it is more
expensive to rent than to buy or
build under the FILA method.
On new home construction
costing more than $3.50, loans
may be obtained for up to 80 per
cent of the cost.
Need for Homes
The purpose of the FILA is to
rehabilitate the building industry
and supply the public need fol
homeS,," Harris said.
He warned against investing ir
homes costing more than 2is times
the income of the owning family
saying that when housing costs
more than 25 per cent of the owners
income. the investor should seek
cheaper quarters.
For 3la years, there has been an
average of 1000 foreclosures daily.
Thousands of homes are no longer
habitable. Never has the nation
needed homes so intensely.
That is why the United States
today stands on the Threshold OF
the biggest housing market in its
history
Harris stressed that businessmen
today pay for modernization wheth-
er they get it or not" stating that
loss of patronage by stores with
unkempt appearance, is greater than
would be the cost of remodeling
both inside ana outside.
1T costs no more" he declared,
Ito end up 25 years hence with a
pile of rent receipts, than with a
complete title of ownership, all for
the same amount of money. Those
who don't use this opportunity to
buy or build, miss the opportunity
of lifetime"
Most of the audience was COM
posed of men interested in some
phase Of the building industry.
Many were from Brawley, Holtville
and other valley towns.
Walter Havekorst, president OF
the Ell Centro Chamber of Com
merce, presided and M. o. King
presented Harris and other FILA
officials. including Olin c. Palmer
and H. v. Davidson.
King stressed the unusual need
for homes in Imperial Valley. Fred
