Work "a Hours;
Win High Praise

Praise was heaped today upon
the doctors and nurses of Receiv-
ing Hospital who labored without
rest for "a hours to patch up the
hundreds Of persons injured in
the race riots.
Those who followed the steady
procession of injured into the big
building on st. Antoine agreed
that while the facilities them
selves may have been overtaxed,
the 100 doctors and interncs and
the 200 nurses proved more than
equal to the nightmarish situa-
ton.
Throughout the long, hot day.
the doctors and nurses worked on
floors Uttered with blood and
amid the chatter OF relatives of
the injured persons and puzzled
but quiet inquiries of the injured
who couldn't quite understand

East Side Kids Are Starred
in Story Telling
About CCC

Pride of the Bowery" starring
the East Side Kids, at the Goth Gen.
tury Theatre, has as its locale, a
real CCC Camp. Producer Sam
Kaufman secured for Monogram the
privilege of using the Thumb Butte
Conservation Camp situated few
miles outside OF Prescott, Arizona.
This is the first motion picture
ever to be made using not only a
CCC Camp background but ac-
.ually using number of the boys
at the camp in the picture. In film
ing the picture Monogram Studios
cooperated with the army officers
at the head of the camp to make
every detail of the story as auth
entic as possible.
The camp is built in the middle
Of a large forest. Nearby is large
artificial lake created by the camp
boys themselves, for swimming
hole A number of beautiful scenes
in the picture were taken on its
shores.
In Pride of the Bowery" gang
of tough kids from New York's
Lower East Side sign up to go to
the camp to spend their summer
vacation. At first the camp rules
don't please them, and they decide
to make over the camp to their
own tastes. No one is more sur
prised than the TOUCHES themselves,
to find. by the end of the sum-
mer, that they are model CCCrs.
