Film at Columbia.

EvEN if Annabella does not like
this country and is going back
where she came from, 1t is apparent
that the boys in Hollywood did right
by her in her first film venture there
for THE Baroness and the Butler
now takes a second week downtown,
at the Columbia, the Gem of F street.
In addition to having Annabella,
who is luscious and lovely and lifting.
even If she does not like this country
and is going back where she came
from, THE Baroness and the Butler
is a pleasant and daffy farce that's
always entertaining. It's the story
Of the prime minister's butler and
how he became a member Of Parlia-
ment and the leader of the party OPP
posing the prime minister, still at
tempting to keep up his buttling duties.
The people involved seem to have
had considerable fun with their work,
William Powell doing truly masterful
Job as the butler who delves into poll
tics with Annabella as his ultimate
reward and Helen Wesley and Henry
Stephenson adding much to the merri-
ment as the prime minister and his
wife. ...s

means it's light-hearted and fast
moving and always diverting. The
people chosen to lend the star sup
port make sure of that by contributing
plenty of variety when Miss Henie is
not flashing about slab of ice.
The story, of course, doesn't con-
tribute much. It's wacky, though,
even if it is of little consequence, and
boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets
girl, and what more you ask of the
cinema? But the combination Of the
Zanuck vaudeville theorem for filmusi-
Gals and Sonia Henie makes story
rather unimportant, for Miss Henies
pictures are like Bing Crosbys in that
sense; they could be put together
backwards and it wouldn't make much
difference. Even If you could tell.

asa default on the part of Don Bestor.
Miss Rios girl band dishes out a
brand of music which is provably
torrid, while Bestor and his boys con-
tent themselves with the old Bestor
tempo, which is not so swingy but
sounds nice in the ear. A battle of

that wacky brand of baton welding

Lane. IQaC MISS Lane ana Mr.. MOTIFS
are supposed to be in love in real
life, which you can't help remember
ing If you read Hollywood columns,
may have something to do with the
picture only indirectly, but it does
make it funnier.
Also making it humorous is the fact
that MIR. Morris who was pictured
heretofore as the least of the mamma
boys in Hollywood is presented now
as fortnight sissy and turns out to
be actor enough to carry it of, no
matter how much you might be willing
to bet to the contrary.
The stage show, however, comes
along and offers the reverse of the
picture Of the male regarding himself
as masculine merely because he is
stronger than the other element of
the species. It features a battle of
swing" between the girl band Of Rita
Rio and the male band of Don Bestor.
MIR. Bestor was more chivalrous than
musicianly, or he might have swung
Miss Rio right off the stage in Harry
Anger's neatly conceived stage show.
Getting back to Love, Honor and
Behave" it is a tale of young married
love freshened up by smacks on the
Jaw instead of the lips, and by
"smacks" we mean smacks. Morris,
as Ted Painter. has been brought up
by his mamma to be a good sport.
The idea of her training, based upon
her own experience, is that a graceful
loser is just graceful loser instead
OF a guy with yellow streak who
would cover it up by saying great

THE WHY OF TRADE-AT-HoME

In common with most of the citizens
of Key West we believe most sincerely in
the advantages to be secured by the
thorough practice of 'trading-at-home.
1t is a doctrine that is often nnisunder-
stood, in that some people would go so far
as to demand a blind adherence to the
theory without regard to the facts of the
situation. The essence of such course of
conduct, if it is to be a community success,
requires the intelligent cooperation of the
merchants as we'll as the buyers.
It is the paramount duty of local mer-
chants, or sellers. to be alert in their bust
ness, to present to their customers attrac-
tive goods, fairly priced in line with mod
err competition and to keep up with the
best modern merchandising practices else
where This does not neeessitate, or re-
quire the elaborate displays of metro
poIitan stores, but it does mean meeting
the prime essentials Of trading that make
buying profitable to the buyer as wen as
the seller.
The obligation which rests upon local
seitizens, assbuyers, demands that, before
Purchasing merchandise or service out of
town. they give local business houses the
opportunity of handling the business. No
baser should, through sheer Iaziness, or a
cafeless idea of economy, thoughtlessly
send money out of town. The foolishness
of such conduct can be easily demonstrated
to any reader who has the slightest doubt
of its correctness, or Of its value to a civic
community.
Fortunately, we have had a generous
observance of the "trade-at-home'' ideal.
Key West boasts many progressive bust
ness houses, where service to the buyer is
as much the keynote as profits to the
seller. Of course, this policy exists be-
cause, in the long run, business men know
that it is an adjunct to profit-mak king Our
local buyers, as rule, do patronize local
businesses. and, we are convinced, in the
majority of instances, with pleasure and
profit
But what attitude the people of Key
West viii take with reference to local
buying when the road to the mainland is
completed is matter of conjecture Ad-
vertising will be more necessary than ever.

THE ~scoRcHED EARTH" POLICY

The scOrched earth policy of the
Chinese, which leads them to destroy
everything that cannot be saved from cap
ture, including buildings, cities and ma
ehinery, has been severely criticized by
military critics of other nations.
It seems foolish, for example, to blow
up factories, schools and other buildings
that might stand to serve the people, soon
er or later. The economic loss is enormous
and the Chinese can hardly afford such
destruction.
Latest dispatches from China, how
ever, indicate that the Chinese may not be

japanese, in several sectors, after captur-
ing RHdestroyed centers, have systemat-
fieAsly removed all machinery for japanese
nks5inse ther areas and then destroyedswhat
could not be transported
If this is so, the only question IS
whether the property is to be destroyed by
the Chinese or the Japanese, whose policy
of removing it to Japan or Manehakuo
makes it total loss to the Chinese under
any circumstance.
