$4,000 is ALLOCATED

The state board of education
Monday afternoon voted to add
SIS 1000 to the school equaliza-
ton fund for use by needy
school districts over Montana.
The money will be transferred

borhoods to and from school.
Officials from four north
eastern counties appeared before
the board to ask for the trans
fer, stating that unless their

funds some schools would have
to be closed. The educational
board will ask the next legisla-
ture to make a deficiency ap-
preparation to replace the $75,-
0GG in the public school gener-
81 fund. The transfer was made
from that fund because it is not
used until February.
Counties represented at the
meeting were Sheridan. Valley.

Members of the educational
board said the $75 900 will be
Used orlv as emergency aid. and
that about IA districts are badly
in need of assistance. Represen-
tatives from the counties said
the last few bad years had
caused shortages in their school
funds.

"AS YOU LIKE 1T" FEATURED
 AT COLISEUM
Elizabeth Bergner Stars in Most Joyous of Shake
 sperian Plays

There's a surprise in store for all movie fans who don't include Shak- espeare in their list of favorite movie authors.
 For, opening tonight at the Col iseum Theatre, Elisabeth Bergner brings to the screen "As You Like It." the most joyous of all romances and the gayest of all Shekepeare's palys.
 Advance reports herald "As You Like It. as one of the greatest en- tertainments ever filmed. There is hilarious laughter at the escapades of Miss Bergner as Rosalind, tender romance in the love of Rosalind and Orlando, excitement and thrills in the duels, jousts and combats with which the picture abounds, splendor in the lavish court scenes, and wild mirth and merriment at the drollery of those clowning com panions, Touchstone and Jaques.
 Herein one riotous picture-is everything you like-As You Like It!
 Elisabeth Bergner, as Rosalind, falls in love with Orlando. The lat ters rascally brother Oliver, in- forms the reigning duke Ca usurper, ruling in place of Rosalind's father) that Orlando is a loyalist, and the duke banishes him.
 Rosalind, in the guise of boy and her cousin Celia, follow Orlando to the Forest of Arden, where, un- der the greenwood trees, the dis guised Rosalind meets Orlando.
 Romance-merry, madcap, teas ing, taunting, gay and glorious vies with laughter-robust, rollick- ing, gusty, lusty, hilarious and up- roarious-as the pining Orlando tells the disguised Rosalind of his love for the fair maid.
 Then comes drama and excite ment as Rosalind finds her father, and tells him of the villianous deed of the duke. With thrill following thrill. always blended with the riotous hilarity, the film comes to the brilliant climax, that has made "As You Like It. one of the most beloved of all Shakespeare's plays.

SLUM LIFE IS PORTRAYED IN
 CAPITOL FILM
Dead End'' Co-starring Joel McCrea and Sylvia
 Sidney Ends Tonight

Tonight for the last time at the Capitol Theatre will be seen Samuel Goldwyn's great motion picture based on the powerful Sidney Kings ley drama of life in the city street, with Sylvia Sidney and Joel Me Crea heading an impressive cast.
 Sylvia Sidney gives her greatest performance as Drina, the little slum girl who fights valiant but losing battle to save her small motherless brother, Tommy, from the gang ster's fate she has seen the slum mete out to so many of its sons. Joel McCrea is grand as Dave, the penniless young architect she loves and who, in turn, is loved by Kay (Wendy Barrie) the girl who has found a dubious route out of the slum into a penthouse in the fash ionable apartment next door.
 Humphrey Bogart is superb as Baby Face" Martin, wanted gang ster and killer, who crawls back to the slum to see his mother and boyhood sweetheart Francey, once more-and for his trouble receives from his mother stinging recrim- nations and hatred; from F'rancey the bitter knowledge that she has taken life the easiest way; and from the guns the G-men body full of lead.
 Claire Trevor gives truly great performance as the hard, pathetic little Francey and Allen Jenkins is swell as Hunk" henchman of Baby Face" AS for the celebrated Dead End Kids from the original New York stage cast, Billy Halop, Huntz Hall, Bobby Jordan, Leo Gorcey, Gabriel Dell and Bernard Punsley, their perfection as the tough, crawling babes of the slum defies description. They must be seen-and heard
 Others in the notable cast are Charles Peck, Minor Watson, James Burke, Ward Bond, Elizabeth Ris- don, Esther Dale and George Hum- bert.
