have gathered, is about some honky-
tonk entertainers, people with big
hearts, and except for the one
played by Miss Fay, little talents.
Top man of the lot, a fellow who
knows how to extricate them from
the vicissitudes which vaudeville
people always encounter, is Payne.
He is an ambitious coot as we'll as
an artful one and is so busy be-
coming a terrific success as a pro-
ducer that he does not realize Miss
Fay is in love with him. In fact, he
is so Indifferent to her wistful affec-
ton and so ambitious that he sets
his heart upon beautiful dame
who lives on Knob Hill. Patiently,
you don't need to be told the rest.
Being period piece, Hello.
Frisco, Hello acquires the nostalgia
charm with which old music always
is saturated. AS a matter of fact,
its producers bothered their heads
only long enough to get two new
numbers among the multitude which

prised enough, to sneak its way into
the humming department of the

extent.
Otherwise Miss Fay and her COL

affair revive echoes of the emotions
that were felt when by the Light

with that kind of material. doesn't

Big Land Sale also Highlights
the Monthly Meeting of

Major business transacted at ses-

al of a contract for care of INDECENT
poor with the Glasgow Deaconess
hospital and a sale of county tax
deed land that attracted more than
so buyers.
The contract with the hospital
board was renewed for a years per-
iod which will expire Dec. 81, '1943.
The contract provides that coun-
ty poor will be cared for in the
hospital at a charge per capita a
day of $3.50. However, if the month
ly charge to the county shall total
or exceed $500, all patients hospit-
allied in excess of $500 shall be
paid for at a per capita daily charge
of So.
Total receipts from the land sale
were $1,000. However, much of this
sum represents 20 percent down
payments on five = year purchase
contracts, so the sum involved in
the sales is considerably larger
than the receipts show.
Commissioners also received re-
ports from county highway main
tenance crews that almost all main
roads in the county have been
cleared of snow. The single excep-
ton, the pole line" route to OPP
