T Stole d Million Opens Tonight as local The
 atre Feature

In T Stole a Million" the Uni versal terror romance, co-starring George Raft and Claire Trevor which starts tonight at the Capi- tol Theatre, there was a blot on the romantic escutcheon of a young couple. The blot spread like a thunderstorm into whirlwind of desperate adventure.
 George Raft portrays the man whose heart was hungry for love- and independence. Claire Trevor is seen as the girl, who saw the chance to mother him with the right influence. ,-
 She was working in a flower shop when he came in to hold it up! That is when she started to try and kill his thirst for thrills and correct his belief that every one was out of step but him.
 He had never really committed crime, but the social records said he had. Let 'em go hang" he thought" here's happiness
 Eventually came the trail of the law with the brand of the past
 What happened after that forms the premise for what critics have unanimously acclaimed one of the good pictures of the years.

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Baby Possum didn't know what to
make of it. Here he was out in the
middle of the Laughing Brook riding
on the queerest craft you can
imagine. When Baby Possum had
hoped on to 1t he had thought
it just stone But whoever heard
of stone that floated or that when
it wasn't floating, swan? Well, that
is just what Baby Possum's queer
craft, which he had thought was
stone, was doing.
At first Baby Possum was too
frightened to notice anything. BY
and by, when he found that his queer
craft really kept on top of the water,
he began timidly to look around.
How dreadfully far away the shore
looked! IF All ever get back there
safely once more All cert'nly never,
never will try to cross brook again" !"
said Baby Possum to himself.
How do you like your ride?" asked
voice, which seemed to come from
somewhere close at hand.
Baby Possum looked everywhere
up in the air, but he could see no
one excepting jolly, round, red Mr..
Sun, who was looking down through
the trees and laughing.
Don't look so high for your
friends, said the same voice, with
funny little chuckle.
Baby Possum looked hard at both
banks, but no one was in sight ex-
cept Peter Rabbit, and the voice
certainly was not Peters.
II say, how do you like your ride?"
asked the voice once more.
This time Baby Possum looked
down on the water. There, sticking
out Of the water just in front of
his queer little craft was a funny
little black head with two little eyes
that twinkled good d-naturedly.
"Did-did yo' all speak to me,
sah?" asked Baby Possum.
Il most certainly did," replied the
stranger in the water, opening his
mouth very wide in order to laugh
heartily. Baby Possum noticed that
not tooth was to be seen, and that
the strangers lips were hard.
"Where-where is the rest of
yo'all?' inquired Baby Possum, as
he realized that he hadn't seen any
body or legs or arms, just a head
sticking out of the water.
The stranger opened his mouth
again and laughed and laughed and
laughed.
You're sitting on it," he finally
managed to say between laughs.
Baby Possum was so startled that
he nearly fell into the water.
"WEat-what did yo' say?" he
gasped, his little eyes nearly popping
out of his head.
Il said that you are sitting on me" ="
said the stranger. You are on my
back this very minute, and If you'll
look down in the water on each
side you can see my arms and legs
move when I SWIM"
"Ah thought All was sitting on a
stone!" gasped Baby Possum. IF
yo' please, sab, who might y'alls
be?"
The stranger laughed harder than
ever. I'm Snapper the Turtle" I"
said he. And now I'm going to
give you the greatest ride you have
ever had and then III put you safe
on shore"
And Snapper the Turtle did.

Leahy. The ends are Gene Good

lured him away last season. Leahy's

approved by the league, there was
little thought attached to the fact
that Calipatria high schools cagerS

There was little thought because

But now there is considerable dis
