and everything, for the $250,000 prize
contest which the picture industry
is about to stage. Those who have
the booklets won't benefit a bit by
the two-day handicap, for they are
ineligible to compete. They are pro-
fessionals, and this is strictly an ANA
teur contest. But the booklet makes
it possible to gauge the fascination
of the event which is going to make
one moviegoer $50,000 richer and
5,404 other winners of cash ranging
from $40 to $4,000.
General distribution of the booklets
will begin at all theaters on Thurs
day, printing job which has not yet
been described, but which ought to be
colossal.
The contest, sponsored by every
element of the film industry from the
Hollywood producers to the smallest
independent exhibitor, is a quiz affair.
Every question in it is devised merely
to test the moviegoers powers of OBJ
Servation, nothing more, circum-
stance that makes for equality of op-
portunity on the part of every con-
testant. The savant has no better
chance than the humblest patron of
the industry which is united behind
the slogan Motion pictures are your
best entertainment"
A IL that is required of the COM
petitor is that he answer 80 simple
questions relating to any 30 OF "a

Festival to Be Given
By Welsh Groups.

THE National Gymanfa Ganu of the
Welsh sacred song festival will be
held at Carnegie Music Hall, Pitts
burgh. Pa. next Sunday afternoon
and evening.
This will be the 10th annual event
OF this nature, attra citing thousands of
Welsh and those of Welsh descent
from coast to coast, as we'll as from
Canada. Robert H. Davies of Pitts
burgh, editor of the Druid, Welsh
American newspaper, and known to
thousands of Welsh as "Gomerian,"
his Welsh Druidic name, is the hon.
orary chairman. The national secre-
tary has announced that at least so
Welsh societies in many different
States are cooperating. =
A chorus of 200 Welsh singers, un-
der Prof. Maurice Lewis of Pittsburgh,
will sing at both sessions. Also a chill
drens chorus of 100 voices. The audi
ence will all take part in the singing
Of the old Welsh hymns, the preser-
vation of which is one of the purposes
of the Gymanfa Ganu. Welsh congre-
gational singing is generally conceded
to be the best in the world and the
Gymanfa Ganu is traditional through
out Wales, often known as "the land
of the song"
Many local people plan to attend
and take part in the festival.

Mrs Wiggs'
Visits
At Olney
Adelaide Hibbard
Lives That Lady
Another Week.
BY CHRIS MATHISEN.

A BILLING familiar to the many
~ patrons Of the gone but re-
~ membered National Theater
4 A Players appears on the pro-
gram at the Olney Theater this
week, for Steve Cochran is presenting
once more Adelaide Hibbard in Mrs.
Wigs of the Cabbage Patch" Aunt
Addie has more trying task out in
the country than she had on E street.
but the lady continues to be a sterling
trouper. and Mr.. Cochran's current
production is entertaining principally
because of her aptitude at carrying
show
The company that has been assem-
bled for this series of enactments Of
the Alice Hogan Rice play is of ade-
quate caliber and probably would i'm
press more favorably were it not for
the circumstances that found Mrs.
Hibbard on stage previously as Mrs.
Wigs with more vigorous support.
Happily, however. the title character
is called upon to be absent from the
stage for very few moments, and Aunt
Adde'S lovable portrayal is capable of
brushing away the most deeply-graven
frown of an exacting viewer.
Mrs. Hibbard continually is Mrs.
Wigs, but she extends the talent
OF that harried but complacent woman
for smoothing troubled waters to boil
stering her fellow performers In their
moments of wavering, and the show
becomes thereby pleasant evening in
and about the little house OF many
Wiggs folk. 1t should not be concluded
that Aunt Addie receives no help, how
ever. There are such people as Paul
Messink. who plays Mr. Stubbins, the
marriage bureau catch; Daisy Lover
ing. portraying the unhappy Mis-
Hazy; Dorothy ODonnell as the catty
Mrs. Eichorn; Peggy Ann Garner, who
makes it most entertaining to see
very young lady on STAGE in these
parts
Very little fault can be found with
the direction of George Vivian and
even less with the settings of Charles
Squires.

The Old Soak Better
On Return Date
At Cross Roads.

THE OLD SOAK" has mellowed
during Its time on the shelf out
at the Cross Roads Theater. It's q
better show than it was earlier In
the season the one night 1t played
before Arch Mcdonald walked into 4
ditch and broke an ankle. The Nc
Donald ankle has not all its health
back and Is no thing of beauty yet,
you must be informed, but it is strong
enough to carry its owner through
some fine fun with Don Marquis
famed character
You no doubt know the play-the
story OF the lovable and pretty much
no-account "old soak" who turned
out to be canny enough to straighten
out all the family dif1iculties-and
you know that Mr.. Marquis peppered
1t with salty humor which makes it a
sure-flre entertainment. And you will
know after reading this that the Cross
Roads people are doing a much more
than acceptable job of bringing it to
life. Pacing was bit slow last night,
mayhap. but still not slow enough to
down the Marquis wit, which is rich
and human.
The title role is one to which Mr..
Mcdonald adapts himself admirably.
He is no great actor, perhaps, but he
gets a lot of fun out of the part and
marriages to project the fun across the
footlights, and that probably Is enough
The others who contribute to the
making Of an evenings entertainment
are George Finger, the villain of all

should be, Noel thought. 1t GER
tainly was not the way she wanted
her own marriage to be-just In
case she should ever marry. But
marriage for herself seemed to be
growing more remote all the time.
Noel was doing lot of think
ing these days. She had to admit
to herself that she was beginning
to find many Of Julian's ideas to
be right.
Laurie, at last, was ready to go
back to work.
That morning Noel phoned the
Garwood home. Hichens answered.
She asked If the position was still
open. Kitchens said quickly. even
a little anxiously, that it was.
Noel told him then to tell Mrs.
Garwood she would be ready for
work on the following Monday.
Today was Wednesday,. Noel
didn't want to leave Laurie until
she was certain she was quite able
to go on with her work. She
didn't know whether there might
be danger of a relapse or not, but
she was still little uneasy about
Laurie. And the thought of leav-
ing her made Noel feel sad.
She tried to comfort herself in
believing that Laurie and Jimmy
were about to get their troubles
Strengthened out. At last they
were together often now and
seemed happier. In this, however,
Noel was wrong. For Laurie and
Jimmy were again telling each
other that it would be best not to
see each other at all under the
circumstances.
Working for the Garwood's,
even though it seemed to be a
strange household, would be won

self happily.

Jimmy gave his promise"
Noel looked at her wide-eyed.
"But surely when Jimmy's happi-
ness is at stake, his mother
should be willing to release him
from his promise"
Laurie shook her head. "You
see," she continued, "Jimmy's

Noel couldn't help noticing that
there were tears in the nurses

because Laurie had safely passed
the crisis.
Laurie slept for hours. Jimmy
did not leave her except when he
went out for some lunch. he
wanted to be there. he said, when
she awakened the next time.
It was late in the afternoon
when Laurie was fully awake.
though she had opened her eyes
once or twice during the day and
smiled at Jimmy. She was smil-
ing at him again now and said
weakly, II was afraid I had
dreamed you were here"
Jimmy bent his head and kissed
her pallid little hand now lying
outside the cheap bedspread. Noel
could see that he was fighting to
keep back the joyful tears.
Ruth Chester moved up to the
bed then, and told Laurie she
could look at Jimmy all she wanted
to, but that she mustn't talk.
Laurie smiled Understandings.
Noel had lost count of the days
since Laurie had been i'll. But it
seemed as if her convalescence
was even longer. A week passed,
then another. And Noel knew it
wouldn't be long now before she
could leave Luigis for good. She
was almost counting the minutes.
Laurie was able to sit up in the
wooden rocker at last propped up
with pillows. Jimmy was back at
work, but he came in for a short
while every evening.
One day Noel heard Ruth
Chester and Julian talking in the
hall. you'll be famous for this

hear any more.
Laurie and Jimmy were very
much in love. It was sweet to see
them together, and heart-break-
ing too, for the barrier between
them was not removed. However,
Jimmy wasn't married. Noel had
found that out. 1t was something
else that had come between them.

Chester was no longer on regular
duty, although she came back
once or twice a day to see that
Laurie YVES convalescing properly.
Noel couldn't help observing that
she was most conscientious. No
wonder Julian had said she was
one of the best nurses in the city!
Laurie wasn't allowed to talk
very much yet. But she and Jim
my didn't need to talk. It was
enough for them just to be able
to look into each others eyes.
Noel had never seen a love like
this between two people. She
probably wouldn't have if she had
not embarked on her adventure.
People in her world took love a
great deal more casually. When
they married, it was usually with

BIBLE READING.

In these days we need to be on our
guard lest we neglect daily Bible
reading. The soul needs food as well
as the body "The words that | speak
unto you, they are spirit, and they
are life" John 663.
John Wanamaker, while addressing
meeting of business men in New
York City, just before he died, made
the statement that his investments in
real estate had amounted to many
millions, but the best investment he
ever made was the fifty cents he paid
for a New Testament when he was a
young man.
Although a very busy man, he
never neglected the Bible and freely
gave his services to the Bible School
he loved.
