NogaIes And Tucson Temperatures

ACCORDING to official government records there
"A is not much difference between the temperature
at Nogaes and Tucson.
Anyone who has lived in the two cities knows
there is whale of difference and that it is much
cooler here than in Tucson.
There is reason why the maximum temperature
of the two cities announced by the government
weather observers is almost the same
The official temperature at Tucson is taken at an
altitude of 200 feet and in Nogales just few feet
from the ground and in small box that is hit square
ly by the sun.
If the local temperature could be taken at the same
altitude that at Tucson the real truth of the vast
difference would be told.
When it's 106 in Tucson it's actually about 96 in
Nogaes.

HOLLYWOOD.

Hollywood honeymoons are pretty
indefinite. You marry today, and
you may not get around to the
honeymoon until the little ones are
big boys and girls.
The first time Hedy Lamar was
married-to -Hollywoodite Fritz
Mandl-she spent her honeymoon
on the Lido, Capri. Lake Como.
Biarritz, Cannes, Nice and Paris.
With producer Gene Markey, she
said Il do in Mexico, and came
back the same day to the Hollywood
home ground. The future honey
moon horizon looks empty, with
Hedy to make three pictures in a
row at Metro. And Gene tied up
solidly at Twentieth Century-Fox.
The first time Clark Gable was a
bridegroom-with Josephine Dillon
he was too poor to honeymoon.
The second and third weddings
both, with his recently divorced
Rhea tthey married day too soon
and had to repeat-took place at
Santa Ana. He was working in a
picture and the couple came back
to Hollywood on the afternoon of
the second ceremony They never
did get around to honeymoon. He
was again too busy after the next
plunge, with Carole Lombard
which puts Carole one honeymoon
up on Clark-she went to Honolulu
after she married William Powell.
Barbara Stanwyck, whose honey
moon with Robert Taylor is indefi-
nitely postponed because of picture
work, didn't get one either with
former Husband Frank Fay. At the
time, Fay was an entertainer in st.
Louis, and Barbara spent her honey
moon watching him work.
Margaret Sullivan has done much
better than most in the matter of
honeymoon. She has drawn only
one blank in three-when she mar
ried Henry Fonda and they were
both working. But, with William
Wyler and Leland Hayward, Maggie
got trips to Europe, although with
Hayward she had to wait until she
was the mother of a couple of
bouncing girls before they could 60.

And there have been dozens of

world remembers forever.
oscar Wilde'-a portrait of de-

yet manages to demonstrate quite
well the ardors and triumphs involv-

Two of the plays on the list, it may
be noted also, are of a clerical ma

description of a war between two
factions of the church-and, it
should be added. of two factions in

This, too, is a reflection of events,
emotions and life outside the theater.
1t can be said of all the plays
that they have social significance. :"
They are plays about people who
may be said to be alive, which means
