Little Miss Thoroughbred" is
the current offering at the Met
ropolitan Theater. This routine
racetrack story is another of the
trite yarns about an orphan who
wants a real daddy oh, SO much,
and the somewhat unusual hap
penings which finally lead to
her finding such a one.
The chief attraction of Little
Miss Thoroughbred" is the young
miss herself, Janet Chapman, a
very natural youngster, who
turns in a good account consid-
ering that she is burdened with
one of these Saccharine roles
rather common to orphan pic
lures.
Janet might be any intelligent,
dainty little girl. not beautiful
but winsomely appealing, in any
days travel. She steps through
an open door at an orphanage
in. the hope of finding her daddy.
whom she dreams has come for
her.
John Litel essays this part in
a manner which is certainly not
gifted, in fact it is left to Frank
McHugh to inject any normal
atmosphere in this film. He car
ries off all additional honorS,
with Ann Sheridan looking very
lovely whenever she is in the
lime light.
The fade-out finds all the an
swers just as anticipated. The
chief result is that this child
may step forth with what it
takes in the way of acting, given
a better part. She should mark
a success.
Paramount News features the
remarkable position of the State
of Nebraska, which is out of
debt, providing all -the necesSi-
ties without over-burdening with
taxation. A true story by Floyd
Gibbons, news, and a boring
comedy with the Three StoogeS"
completes the bill. H. K.

yellow Jack

yellow Jack" is the first of
it's kind since The Life of Louis
Pasteur," and just as absorbing.
Histrionically narrated, it places
but minute emphasis upon Hol-
lywood's meal ticket-love. In
fact, the romance of Virginia
Bruce and Robert Montgomery
could have easily been cut. and
nothing valuable would have
been lost. In other words, the
idea that the producers wished
to convey, and the interest,
would have remained intact.
This is not, by inference,
meant to establish that the two
stars are superfluous, for Rob-
ert Montgomery delights with
as neat a bit of acting as he has
ever accomplished. His Irish
accent is most noteworthy, and
coupled with his notorious gift
for excellent pantomime, chalks
up another hit on the right side.
AS for Miss Bruce, her part is
not strong nor necessary, but
contributes her share with as
surance. At times she seems
bit awed, but who wouldn't be
if they were the only woman
among a thousand men.
The story of Major Walter
Reeds fight against yellow
fever is universally known. So
there is no explaining needed
of the arduous task he cut out
for himself and his assistants,
with the aid of five Human
Guinea Pigs" one of whom, is
Bob Montgomery, as Sergeant
O'Hara. Among the others are
Alan Curtis and Buddy EbSen.
Major Reed is characterized
by Lewis Stone, while Henry
Hull portrays LaZear.

this condition is properly placed before them they will see that
 these individual landing fields should ba given some attention and at least some remuneration made, especially when others make use of the field. It is just a case of the old Sourdough not waiting for government agencies to construct a road or landing field, due to the long delays of year or more in deciding to do it. The old timers judgement and his outlay of money should have some consideration, even after it has been done and accomplished.

Laurin is one of those miners who has been mining in that section for a good many years, without getting much relief from any source, in the way of construction of roads, landing fields, etc.
 Therefore he decided to not wait for help and went ahead and built his own airplane landing field. Now that he has landing field everybody feels that they should be entitled to land on ii and cause him troubles, besides running into several thousands of dollars.

What we in the Unit-d States artificially enjoyed in 1919 and 1920 and which we would still enjoy if English mon- ey powers hadn't ordered the de fation of U. s. currency in 1920 which killed our prosperity.

It can also be done by remon- etizlng silver if we knew the worlds probable silver supply, which we do from records: wis, IS times more silver than gold in the worlds mines. So by dilut- ing our dollar gold content from it's present l5-grain content to 5grain gold content and monet izing silver at Is to l ratio, it would finally work U.S.A. and the world back to prosperity of 1920 and really make the world free for democracy.
 Gold at S20 an ounce equals $5 per capita; $35 an ounce gold equals Sl0 per capita; $90 an ounce gold equals $20 per capita; Sl60 an ounce gold equals $40 per capita-What France did in 1926 and kept prosperous.
 Gold at S240 an ounce equals S60 per capita-what US.A. had ar.i- ficially in 1920 before deflat.or, which equaled S2 wheat, $l5o corn, 17c a pound hogs, l8c pound cattle, good times for all. There was plenty of work goot wages. Such prosperity emptle our jaI.s and asylums and kill crime such as Kidnapping, banl robbery and holdups and permit U.S,A. to run our own country instead as of now from London.
