RueinQ Opens

N0@sss3 ~P
This being the opening of racing
week in Cumberland, this scribe
has been asked to devote this space
10 horses and racing in general and
to give some consideration to news
dealing with the brand Of thorough
breds that make the rounds Of the
smaller tracks, such as our own
Fargo.
The almost 400 horses that will
be quartered at the Fargo barns
have been for the most part active
since the early part Of the year,
campaigning at the Fair Grounds
in New Orleans, then on to Oak
lawn in Hot Springs. Ark, then
Pimlico, Md, and then to Charles
Town. w. Va, where a 48-day
meeting kept them busy until the
Maryland half-mile track season
opened recently at Hagerstown.
A great many horses were vanned
10 Cumberland direct from the
Hagerstown track, by smart train
ers who want to give their horses
a rest for the gruelling ten-day meet
that will start Tuesday, August Z.
at the Fargo oval, just outside the
city limits of Cumberland.
Many more will be shipped from
the Bel Air track, just outside Bal
timore, to the Cumberland meet
ing. Edward Bremen Is secretary
for all half-mile tracks hereabouts,
and with the results of two meet
ings already in his possession, som
keen competition should be the or
der of the day at the Fargo plant.
Since two $1,000 events are card
ed for the meeting, and with the
boost in purses to $500, an excep-
tional caliber Of horses is assured
for this meeting. Cumberlanders
like the route races and according
ly about 40 per cent of the events
will be over the mile and more dis
lance. The balance of the card will
be divided between the five fur
long and the 6h furlong distances.
LITTLE SARATOGA
Before going further. II may be
polite or good form to tell our Wis
itors or recently arrived residents
a word about the picturesque race
track that is a part of the Cumber-
landers' very existence. Classed by
national news writers as the most
beautiful half-mile track in Amer
lea, il is often referred TO as THE
Little Saratoga"
The track is laid out on fiat at
the foot of one of the surrounding
mountains, and is set off by back
drop of solid rock, interspersed
here and there with shrubbery and
foliage. Atop this rock formation
is a dense forest.
A road runs along the ridge OF
the mountain, and at times natives
OF the section watch the days por-
ceedings from their high vantage
points. These persons may be OBJ
served by patrons in the grand
stand of the track, who are prob
ably wondering how the mountain
spectators reached the perilous
perch.
The answer is simple. A road in
tersecting with the Ridgeley road

w
Film vaults are bulging with the
greatest backlog of finished pictures
in history, a check by the Hollywood
Reporter reveals. Some II features
are ready and waiting release. Based
on this figure, major studios could
close shop for three months and
still meet schedules. Paramount
leads the field with 20. Oldest and
perhaps most eagerly awaited is the
Warner Bros celluloid version of
Arsenic and Old Lace" which must
hold until the stage play has run
out Of customers. That one was
filmed two years ago, with Cary
Grant starred.
If you ordered what Joan Craw-
ford did at the Mocambo the other

ably suggest you get your coat and

Columbia Pictures falls In with
''The Night Of January 16' idea for
committing murder to entertain the
public. In Mine Girls" presently
at the Metropolitan, the studio has
taken precisely that number Of rep
resentatives Of the distaff side and
caused the young things to mill
around while murder Is being done
When all that has to be said is said,
and the nocturnal doings done, 1t
must be admitted that Mine Girls
is not the best of its genre. At
the same time, we would be the first
to reassure armchair criminologists
that the film offers the most at
tractive bunch Of murder suspects
We have ever seen.
It is the kind of case the average
male would like to crack.
The scene is well-appointed
charm school snuggled in the moist
California backwoods. The isola-
ton, the rain and the almost con-
tinuous state of darkness make q
nice tapestry for crime whose blem-
ishes are pretty well obscured by
the filigree OF gals, gals. gals. From
the point at which Anita Louise is
killed off with rock very early
in the film), the air is rent with
girlish shrieks, usually bright quips
and slapstick, as contributed by
William Demarest, the Dumb De-
tective. Also, lights being cut of
people getting slugged and a fur
mace room sequence that removes
most of the suspense with the film
about a third of the way to go. Not
that that matters very much. The
Nets balcony usher had the solu-
ton worked out long before the de-
tectives did yesterday.
But the girls make for reasonably
good fun. behaving as pertly as they
do. You probably will like JEFF
Donnell, Butch" and Evelyn Keyes,
Mary" especially. Ann Harding
turns in good performance, too, as
the patient, motherly school su-
perYiSor.
