HOLLYWOOD, April 4 = The
movie scripters. chatting in the iso-
lation of their dream world, are
doing their best there days to put
excitement into the new pictures.
Not only is there actiCn in ro-
nance, but generally a note of vio-
lence in the initial boy-meets-girl
situations.
Consider the first meeting CT
Paulette Goddard and Fred Mac
Murray in THE Forest Rangers. !"
He arrives in town during From
tier Days parade. Miss Goddard,
riding in dude cowgirl outfit, is
thrown from a bucking horse, lands
en- MacMurray and knocks him
sprawling. That's their introduc-
ton. A few minutes later they're
lassoed and hauled up ca flcat
representing a Jail, and the judge
orders Fred to propose. BY evening
thy're looking for real judge to
marry them.
Some day perhaps daring writ
ter will bring his hero and heroine
together with a formal introduce
ton: Miss brakes, may I present
Mr.. Zilch?" just now, however, it's
much more conventional to have
Mr. Zilch drift out of the sky on
a parachute and settle neatly beside
Miss DoakeS as she speeds along
in an open roadster.

Bridge Party
Bic Success

If succeeding parties are as sue
cessful as the opening event in the
series of benefit bridge parties which
the Ell Centro Soroptimist club is
sponsoring, the baby incubator for
Imperial Valley is assured.
First of the series of three took
place Monday night in the lobby
of the Mayan hotel where 100 guests
enjoyed an evening of contract
many others having purchased tick
cts who were unable to attend.
Prizes went to: Mrs. w. J. Thorn
burg, high for the women; Mrs
Clarence McFaddin, second; Mrs
Jimmy WEIGH, third, and Mrs. Rich
ard Moore, consolation. Mems prizes
vent to Joe Primrose, first; Leon
Berger, second; Harvey A. Kenyon,
third, and Jack Latham, consola-
ton.
The travelling prizes went to Mrs.
Colon Barrett and to Theron Fluke
Tempting refreshments were serv-
ed to the guests after the play, the
hotel lobby providing a pretty set
ting with l.. il,any effective floral
arrangements.
Since all prizes were donated by
individuals or by merchants of the
city, and since many cash donations
were received that evening, the
party was most successful. The club
is trying to complete its fund to be
used in purchasing a baby incubat-
or which will be made available
for the valley.

BLACK Lamb, Gray Falcon, Re-
becca Vests brilliant book on the
Balkans was reviewed for Chapter
AV, PEG. Monday by Mrs. H. K.

the course of events in these tur-
bulent countries, their effect on the
world, their present place in history
and forecast of their future. Ira
vel, art, music, philosophy, history,
architecture politics, economy, pys-
chology are all interviewer making
the task of the reviewer a difficult
one.
Mrs. McCracken's review was a
mastery one and not only gave the
audience ar idea of the scope of

Especial to The Daily Monitor-Leader)
ARMADA, May 9-Everybody
has them-bad days, that is
but Coach John Burg of Armada
felt today that he had a blue,
ribbon winner, as far as sorry
examples of baseball are con,
cerned.
Going into the last half Of the
sixth inning in Little Six base
ball game with Dryden yester-
day, Armada held a 7-3 lead and
seemingly, was headed for a
victory in the tilt played at Dry
den.
But with Dryden at bat, three
errors, a pair of walks, three
batters hit by pitched balls and
a trio of hits changed the aspects
and handed the game to the
home team, as the victors piled
up a total of eight runs in the
one frame. Net result: A III
win for Dryden; a second loop
Eefeat for Armada.
Next game for Armada is
against d. u. S. at Armada on
Tuesday.
The line score follows:
Armada l12 OIL o. z IS

Batteries: Armada - Warren

or and Davidson. Dryden
