Movie Revues
"TEXAS STAMPEDE" MARKS
BIJOU THEATRE BILL

With Charles Starrett in the
starring saddle, Columbia has CIV
en- western action fans many a
fine outdoor adventure film. But
there have been none finer, none
more beautifully welded into we'll
balanced entertainment, that Star
rett's latest film, "TeXas SIAM
pede," which opened yesterday at
the Bijou theatre. A colorful tale
of a range war which flames be-
tween cattlemen and sheep raisers,
Texas Stampede" possesses not
only dramatic action plus a gen.
erous helping of comedy, but just
the right touch of romance and
some delightful new cowboy
tunes.
Starrett is seen as the hard
riding and straight-shooting young
sheriff to whom lawlessness is
despicable even when INDUCED in
by the young brother of the girl
he loves. Forced to arrest the boy
and bring dishonor upon his sweet
hearts family Starrett succeeds in
settling peacefully an old feud be-
tween the cattle and sheepmen.
This feud has been the cause of
all the trouble.
A cartoon, "Krazy's Shoe Shop
and the current chapter of "The
Phantom Creeps,'' are also on the
program.

SOUTH OF THE BORDER"
RATED EXCELLENT FILM

South of the Border" current
attraction at the Royal theatre, is
proving in Wilmington, as in the
whole of America, to be one of the
most astounding drawing attrac-
tons in the history of the screen.
OF course the immense popularity
attained by the song of the same
name has much to do with the
success of The picture. However,
the star of the production, Gene
Autry, is the real reason. For a
long time Autry has been the idol
of western fans but South of the
Border" gave him the entry into
the hearts of everyone. His per-
sonality and singing voice found
the perfect vehicle in this new
picture and the answer is uni
versal popularity overnight. Gene
Autry has come into his own. The
accompanying program on this
great Royal theatre bill has "Dick
Tracy's G-Men," a cartoon and
Movietone News.

Pain In The Neck May Put Those
Wrinkles On Your Brow, Says Writer
BY ALICIA HART

A tense neck, like cramped, ach-
ing feet, can put more lines across
the brow in a week than it is pos
sible to eradicate in months. The
m who is determined to re.
main youthfully attractive through
the years makes every effort to
keep her neck perfectly relaxed.
She doesn't sit at her desk and
hold her head and shoulders in
one position hour after hour. Ever
so often she remembers to relax
her neck and let her head fall for
ward as far as possible. Several
times a day when riding in a taxi
or sitting in front of the ironing
board or just reading, she does a
neck relaxing exercise.
She simply let's her head fall for
ward until the chin is resting on
he chest, then slowly swings head
around to the right, back, to the
left, and forward again. Slowly
rotating the head around and
around, meanwhile keeping neck
quite relaxed, stirs up circulation,
wards off stiffness in the muscles
and a feeling of extreme WEAKNESS.
Relaxing Exercise
Also for relaxation and to elimi-
nate any tendency toward acquisi-
ton of a lump on the back Of the
neck, this routine is advisable:
Simply sit or stand erect. Relax
neck and let head fall backward
as far as possible. Place fingers
behind "a and lift head up. Make
fingers-not head-do the lifting
job. Afterward, repeat without
using hands, making muscles at
sides Of the neck do the work.
