COMEDY TOUCHES

Akin Tamiroff and Leonid Kin
skey have most Of the humorous
bits, although there's one terribly
funny scene in which a bar owner
warns his customers about the
threatened approach OF the town
marshal. It's really right out Of
'Destry Rides Again" but IL is
the one hysterical moment in the
whole movie.
Among the other Jerome Kern
tunes are More and More. which
Miss D. sings beautifully, although
IL seemed 10 provoke great laugh

Her voice, incidentally, whether
used in one OF these ballads or in
such number as the Finale IN

10 such an extent that she really
ranks as one OF the finest singers
on the screen today.

It's a typical covered wagon

me for. Likewise, the New York Her.

of half dozen years ago couldn't

the economic theories being con-
cocted today to cure postwar de-
preston ills.
First step In the dizzy con-
ception of the original Morrow
plan was to incorporate the
the United States Of America
and run it as one big business,
with all the citizens being en-
titled to share in the profits.
Every citizen, at birth, automat-
;cally would become a bond
holder and would be issued, free,
$4,000 worth of non-transfer-
able bonds which would be can
celed at death. During life, how
ever, the income from these
bonds, at a conservative 5 per
cent interest. would yield $4,000
income a year.
This interest money would be
paid in a kind of scrip which
would be good to purchase the
necessities of life - food, rent,
clothing and doctor bills-but
nothing more. If you were con-
tent to live off the $4,000, with
out luxuries, you could do it..
Hence the slogan, Retire at
Birth"

who wanted the luxuries of life,
still would be permitted to work
for them in the old-fashioned
way if they chose to 60 to that
