C0MEDY-ROMANCE FEATURE SHOWING
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Two men, two women and horse participate in what is re- ported to be laugh packed, live sided matrimonial melee in Para mounts modern comedy-romance, The Bride Wore Boots, due to- night at the 20th Century Theatre with Barbara StanwyeE, Robert Cummings and Diana Lynn. These three, plus Patric Knowles and an intelligent equine called Albert, complete a delirious design for living which is said to be enough to make a horse laugh.
 The plot revolves around this frustrated five. Cummings loves only his wife, Barbara; she loves him, too, but is wild about horses which, in turn, drive him wild; Di- ana Lynn, a flirtatious Southern belle. sets her cap for Bob; and Pat Knowles, Barbara's partner in horses, has more than a business interest in Bobs wife.
 Bob and Barbara face more hurdles in their marital affairs than are to be found in any steeplechase, and the hilarious method in which they iron out their differences makes what pre- viewers have called one of the gayest farces of the year.
 1 The final sequence, the annual
 blue ribbon turf classic in which
 Bob, having lost Barbara and des- perately trying to win her back,
 rides Albert, a fugitive from a
 glue factory, is reputed to be the
 funniest ten minutes in motion pictures in quite some time.

By the Assoeiofed Press

NEW YORK, July 10.-American
Smelling & Refining Co. yesterday
confirmed Canadian reports that
the company was receiving premium
prices for a limited amount of gold
obtained from Canadian ores.
The gold is shipped from Canada
in the form of a concentrate, it was
explained, and smelted and refined
in the company's United States
plants.
Gold dealers said that export of
the precious metal obtained from
foreign ores is legal, although ship
ments must be under, a United
States Tresury export license. The
total involved in these foreign ship
ments, these quarters said. is small.

Reports that gold was selling at
as high as 5000 an ounce in foreign

dollars the price today is around $50
