ROUGH AND READY BOB
This time, however, Loew's
Palace is the scene and Robert
Taylor the hero Of the hour.
This Is q twice or even thrice
told tale Of a prizefighter who
was forced by circumstances, a
smart right and a need for
money, into the ring; as q
youngSteT with a lyric voice
and q quick, light step, he was
set to sing in the choir and to
challenge miniature fighters; his
prowesS caught the attention Of
the visiting champion and he
was Immediately put on the
track to fame and affulence.
The story is not new, fresh
ness Of treatment is lacking, for
the angles are obvious and the
whole plot revolves itself around
the usual boy-meets-girl idea.
The hero is lying in a bathtub
reading "Rise and Fall Of the
Roman Empire" when up comes
the girl in the case to inves-
tigate ring tactics in a house
she thought her own; this
nicely explained, there remains
the irate father, the Sunday
afternoon outings, the big fight,
the knockout, and he leaves the
ring forever. Significant?
Robert Taylor deserves better
fare than this, for this is rough
and tumble in which he takes a
terrific beating and comes out
without even a bruiSe to prove
his calling, beautiful but hardly
accurate. Maureen O'Sullivan
is fond Of Robert, makes him see
the ring as an odious thing and
wins his promise to quit in a
very pleasant manner. Jane
Wyman, William Gargan, Frank
Morgan, the excellent Edward
Arnold, the amusing Lionel
Stander and Nat Pendleton sup
port the star.
The added features include

and compelling Interpretation Of
the gun-moll. Humphrey Bo-
gart, too. does excellently with
his assignment.
Running riot on the stage and
filling the theater with a great
deal of noise and some music
are the Schnicklefritzers. The
boys go in for comic effects and
yesterdays matinee audience
couldn't seem to get enough Of
the comedy.
They play hot music and seem
to be a cross between the orig
inal Dixieland jazz band and the
Frank and Milt Britton aggre-
CATION, which should give you a
rough idea. Any idea Of the
Schnicklefritzers would, Of
necessity, be a rough one.
Cass Daley contributes a few
comedy songs and performs her
usual facial distortions. CasS
can do more mugging in one
turn than Mickey Rooney in a
dozen Andy HardyS.
Harry Stockwell acts as M. C.
and appears too infreuuently.
His singing IS still as beguiling
as ever. Gibson q Co. are fea-

Charlie Mccarthy Is Held Over

Into q second week at Keith's
goes Letter Of Introduction"
and the steady flow Of Gus
toners to the RKO cinematorium
augurs well for the discernment
and taste Of washington the
atergoers.
A rafting good story, capable
direction, some superb histri-
onics by Adolphe Menjou and
Andrea Leeds plus the mirth-
full combination Of Edgar Ber-
gen and Charlie Mccarthy are
the elements contributing to the
films outstanding success.
Adolphe Menjou, limning a
vaguely ubelouS portrait in
alcohol of the screens erstwhile
Great Lover, contributes a most
touching performance. AS the
5O-year-old matinee idol who
comes back to the stage to
help launch his daughter on a
footlight career he turns in
perhaps the best portrayal OF
his career.
It is quite possible that the bit
of business he does in the
darkened wings prior to his en-.
trance cue will be remembered
long after the picture is for
gotten. Drunk, painfully cog
infant of his long absence from
the footlightS, his daughter on
stage, he lights a cigarette, asks
his valet whats my first
line" swayS a trifle, then braces
his shoulders and walks on. It's
q heap Of acting, mates.
Edgar Bergen, with Charlie
M and q new piece Of mahogany
called Mortimer, has been given
enough funny lines to last
Charlie a month of Sunday
nights on the radio. AS far as
we're concerned, the crack OF
the week is Charles comment
on Andrea Leeds description OF
Menjou as being 80 harmless
he wouldn't hurt a fly"
I'm glad he draws the line

BUILDING AND LOAN
INCREASE IS SHOWN
III Associations in State
Have $46, 1879 Assets
At End of Year

Greensboro, Feb. 11.-State-charter
ed building and loan associations ex-
perienced a net increase of six million
dollars in total assets for the year
1887, it is estimated by Martin T.
Gaudian, executive secretary of the
North Carolina Building and LOAF
League. Mr. Gaudian said he based hi,
estimate on annual statements flied
by III building and loan associations
out Of 1853 doing business as of De-
ccmber 81, 1927.
Only six of the III building and
loan associations failed to show in
creases in total assets during the year
1887. The III associations had total
assets of $40, 475, 916 as of December
81, 1886, whereas they show $46,157,
1882 as of the close of 1887. This in
crease of $5,681, 1888 % represents a
gain in total assets of 1909.
State-chartered building and loar
associations in North Carolina have
helped more people build homes dur
ing the past year than any one of the
preceding five years. The III building
and loan. associations for which sta
t;stics are available made 1851 loans
aggregating $13,1S2,9 21, of which ap-
proximately one-third, or 2,978 ag-
gregating $4,945,582, were for construc
ton while 1904 totaling. $3,239 ,636 were
for the purchase of homes, the re-
mainder of the .otal representing
loans for repairs, improvements, and
other purposes These loans were
made mostly on lhe building and loan
plan which has been so popular in
North, Carolina during the past years
Mr. Gaudian stated s rs
The savings in these III institutions
! at the close of 1887 totaled $AO,211.
| 1875. an increase Of almost five million
dollars, or $4,958, 1886 over the 1886 fig
ure. During 1887 the building and loan

Bulldogs Turn In Poor
Game; Girls Easy Victims
Becky Mills Leads
With q Points; Cap
tain Edgar Edwards
Hurts Ankle

Henderson girls rolled up another
easy basketball victory last night on
the local court, turning back RoNporo
1911. but the local lads gave the poor
est exhibition of basketball they hao
shown this season in losing to Rox-
boro boys 1910.
Billy Peace, mainstay at guard
was out of last nights contest with an
ankle injury, and Blackburn, reserve
guard, was missing from the squad,
due to illness, leaving a crippled five
to take the court.
Roxboro outplayed Henderson dur
ing the first half, holding the boys to
two free throw points, but in the Sec
ond half of the contest, Henderson got
the bette rof the argument, scoring
eight points to the visitors four.
The Bulldogs missed enough GRIP"
shots to double the score on the wish
tors, and free throws were seldom
made. "Bobo" Johnson was about the
best Henderson had to offer. He scor-
ed half of the points as well as turn
ed in a nice game on the floor. He
and Billy Aston showed about the
only aggressiveness that Henderson
demonstrated curing luc cIll4 SoAAAC'
Miss Becky Mills led the girls to vic
tory with % points, Miss Houghtaling
was second with Is, and Captain Blake
turned in seven points. Coach Bob
Harrison used his reserves freely dur
ing the contest, at one time moving
Miss Duke, regular guard, to forward,
where she turned in a bang-up floor
game, but was off in shooting. It was
her first attempt ever at forward.
If Roxboro had six Channey's in
stead of one of their team they would
likely have given Henderson a run
for their money. Miss Channey was
the best and about the only thing the
visitors had to offer.
Stewart, with seven, Winstead, with
five and Written, with four, turned
in the best game for the visiting boys.
Captain Edgar Edwards was forced
to leave the game late in the fourth
period by an injured ankle, and may
be out Of the games during next week.
