when he guided Mrs. H. Young's
Saxonian to the wire a half-length
in front Of County Bond. The win
ner paid So to 50 in the straight
mutuels.
Dew sped westward toward the
new Golden Gate Turf Club at Oak
land, Calf, only to learn the track
opening had been postponed.
He failed to ride winner in three
attempts at Santa Anita track in
California today, but hoped to catch
Taylor tomorrow by riding 10 mounts
at Aqua Caliente in Mexico. Then
he planned to return to Santa Anita
for the final two days Of the year.

owned by the Circle M Ranch. won

CONE MILLION B. c." TO
OPENS AT ROYAL TODAY

With a cast headed by Victor.
Mature, Lon CLANCY, Jr., and Car.
ole Lands, Hal Roach's great spec
tacle film drama of prehistoric
tires, Zone Million B. c." will
have its Wilmington premiere at
the Royal today. The production,
n of the most ambitious to come
from the Roach Studios to date,
was both produced and directed
by Mr.. Roach personally, with Hal
Roach, Jr., collaborating.
The story centers about the Shell
People and the Rock Tribe, two
peoples who may be described as
cavemen in the days when huge
dinosaurs roamed the earth. The
Shell People are less savage and
more advanced than the Ro C k
Tribe. A volcano and an earth
quake bring disaster and desolation
to the land of the Rock Tribe and
later a gargantuan dinosaur at
tacks the cave of the Shell People.
