In 10 years members OF dairy
herd i'm vem en- associations
throughout the country have SO
improved their herds that the aver
age yearly butterfat production of
association cows has increased
about 80 pounds, reports DR.. j. F.
Kendrick Of the Federal Bureau of
Dairy Industry. This increase in
production, brought about by Gull
ing out poor producers, by feeding
the remaining COWS according to
production, and by better selection
of dairy sires, has increased returns
to association members by about
100000 a year.

The year ending November 80, 1924

Roadside's Ballad
Was a Hit Tune

Cast Aside" the tear-jerking old
ballad which is being presented this
week and next at the Roadside
Theater between the acts of the
melodrama, The Fatal Brand" was
one of the popular hits at the turn
of the century. It was written by
Charles K. Harris, who turned out
such well-known ditties as After
the Ball Is Over" and Break the
News to Mother"
The number was made available
to the Roadsiders by Luther C.
Steward, head of the National Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees, who
has the finest collection of songs
of the 8Os, COS and early 19O0s in
the country. His music library con-
sists entirely of original sheet music,
and is the source of the authentic
period music heard in motion pic
lures that have dealt with the late
18th and early Goth centuries. Not
only Hollywood depends on Mr..
Steward for the right words and
music. Back in 1923, when the
Democratic standard bearers CAM
paign song was East Side, West
Side" the lyrics on the sheet music
in Mr.. Stewards collection were &C
cepted as authoritative words.

BY HARRY MacARTHI,R.

The one about the prize fighter

one about the prize fighter and a
lady who was no lady, if you follow,
and 1t Is the better for it. At
any rate there is novelty when the
leather pushers heart is found to
belong, not to lovely. cold and
distant lass whose blood is blue,
but to a managerially- provided
fake mother given slightly to those
two well-known manias, klepto and
dipso. Mama, impersonated by
May Robson, with Pat O'Brien and
Joan Blondell as properly embit-
tered foils, manages to endow THE
Kid From Kokomo," the Metro
politan's new picture, with some
lively moments in spite of the dead
ening influence of Mr.. Wayne
Morris presence.
Mr.. Morris, in this picture, has
not yet emerged as the cinema's
leading actor and most ingratiating
personality, though he does play a
doltiSh farm lad turned fighter.
strong on the Drawn but dense above
the neck, with considerable natural
ness. A script which is just one of
those things on many occasions has
not helped him, but neither has he
helped the script.
Mr.. Morris does not matter very
much, however, and can be over
looked, because it is a great Joy to
watch Miss Robson. She has a mag
nificent comedy scene as the tipsy
old hag up for shop-lifting in the
night court where Mr.. O'Brien dis
covers her. He discovers her because
he must produce a mother to keep
happy the fighter he manages, a lad
who all his life has been an orphan
yearning for maternal tenderness.
So this lovely creature becomes
Whistler's Mother to the dope and
Miss Robson contrives to get con-
siderable fun out of that. She is
so very fine, in fact, that she pro-
vides a lot of laughs in a picture
which speaks in such novel dialogue
as "Hah, she'd make an epidemic
sick!"
There's a bang-up battle royal in
"The Kid From Kokomo," too, if
you like battle royals. And did we
say May Robson is swell? She is.

Palace Keeps
Hilton Tale.
Week
MIR. Chips Offers
Best Playing
Of Season

"Good-by Mr.. Chips" the film
version OF the popular novel which
probably will win all of 1895 prize
awards, entered its second week at
the Palace yesterday. It did so in
spite Of previous commitments of
the theater for the reason that it
represents one of the most super
latlve accomplishments in the his
tory OF the screen. In every respect,
the f1lm story of the lovable school,
master, played by Robert Donat, is
the equal of the novel which en-
chanted the English-speaking world
several years ago. 1t is something
to see and remember, which is a
thing that can be said of few stories
regardless of the medium in which
they are narrated.
In its evocation of more superla-
tives than several dozen films usual
ly produce, the story of Mr.. Chips
represents a character study of ex-
traordinary merit. It Is concerned
with little man. a chap who resem-
oles every one but one who makes
something Of great Importance out
OF the little Eee which happens to be
his. Compiste fidelity to the novel
is one OF the profoundly impressive
features Of the film in this respect
a fidelity which involves not merely
the Donat performance but every
element which supplements it.
The story Of the man whose life
for more than half a century. was
devoted TO teaching England's youth
is sentimental thing, but it never
Is mawkish nor overdone. The
drama of it, the romance and the
comedy are handled with a caution
that transcends that which is ac-
corded the average film. The one
respect in which the story is am
pllf1ed beyond the scope of the novel
has to do with the love story be-
tween Mr.. Chips and Kathy. Even
here, however, the spirit of the orig
inal Is faithfully sustained, a tribute
to the direction of Sam Wood as
well as to the playing of Donat and
Greer Carson, the latter one of the
most pleasant personalities the
screen has found in years. Miss
Carsons presence in the story of
Mr.. Chips is limited affair, but it
is something that will be remem-
bered long after the usual Aim ro-
nance is forgotten.
An excellent cast, down to the
least schoolboy who came under the
Jurisdiction Of the gentle, kindly
schoolmaster, helps give the Aim its
complete plausibility. Those who
would see the years outstanding
screen drama had better put 1t On

Week
Film Is Fine
Example of
Domestic Comedy

In the cool cavern that is the
Earle Theater, life this week is a
kind of dream; now sweet, now
poignant, but altogether a lot bet
ter than it is on the outside. The
whole thing is the happy derivative
of the management's wisdom in
holding for a second week "Daugh-

that reunites the cast which made

more than average merit. More
over, it is backed up by a stage

Daughters Courageous" is a tale
of a broken family, one in which
the four female offspring are wise
