Gary Cooper In poIi Film
 Along Came Jones
 Most Entertoinino

Along Came Jones'" which is now playing at the Loew-Poli thea. ter, reveals the lovable lanky Gary Cooper, the screens ranking ro- mantle screen star, in composite character equally appealing to male and female fans. Gary has chosen well his first subject as a producer. After starring in 50 pictures, Coop CT chose to produce his 6lSt stellar film himself. As a result his choice of vehicle was an action story with a western background.
 Loretta Young was selected as the object of his affections, the bristly William Demarest as his saddle pal" and Dan Duryea, remembered for his .villainouS roles, as the ban. dit who gets Cooper into no end of trouble. All in all 1t Is exciting and distinctive filmfare with Coop CT and Miss Young an ideal pair of love birds whose romance is brought about In 6 most unusual way. De- marest plays @ straight role, or, as straight aS Q veteran comedian can pay one, and Duryea Is a gun-fight- ing frontier had-man the like of which the screen hasn't provided in many day. For sheer meanness and steely-cold deviltry. Duryea wins a place apart from all screen villains in recent years.
 Cooper, in a unique character ization as Melody Jones, a wander ing range.rider full of ambition to become important, but handicapped by his unbelievable clumsinesS with Q gun, meets pretty Loretta Young. She happens to be harboring an outlaw who was her childhood play mate and who, wounded, Is hiding out on the ranch. Jones having blundered into the middle of this situation creates trouble, which leads to the stirring climax of the unusual romantic action drama.
 It would be ridiculous to draw comparisons between "Along Came Jones" and other Cooper stories. Suffice 1t to say that this picture has what 1t takes to give entertain. nent-hungry audiences, thrills, TO. nance and drama in unusual quan- titles and balance.

other persons who still survive who
were employed there at that time.
One was Morsell Addison Tolson, now
a guest at the John Dickson Home, and
the other, Barton Bean.
This old building, now known as the
Arts and Industries Building, was pro-

and it was suficiently completed on
March 4, 1881, to hold there the inaug-

The building was designed by Adolph
