FALL MY SONS" E FEATURE NOW AT
 CAPITOL THEATRE

The typical small city of Santa Rosa, in northern California. was the location site for All My Sons" ]" co-starring Edward G. Robinson and Burt Lancaster, and now at the Capitol Theatre. Producer Chester Erskine picked the community af- ter studying many towns to find one that would match in architec- ture, streets, and atmosphere the small Ohio city descrihed in the New York Critics Circle prize play.
 One of the principal sites used at Santa Rosa was backyard, with it's surrounding houses. This setting was the chief one in the play. Oth- CT scenes were made on beautiful magnolia-lined Mcdonald Avenue.
 The presentation of All My Sons portrays with dynamic simplicity the postwar story of how money proved stronger than patriotism to one man with the result that number of air men lost their lives, including his own son, his partner went to prison and later his own life was forfeited.

DOLORES DEL RIO FEATURED IN FILM
 AT 10TH CENTURY

As an actress, Dolores del Rio star of Portrait of Maria" open ing tonight at the goth Century Theatre, needs no introduction to American audiences. Her work in a long series of Hollywood produc- tions has won her place of dis tinction in motion picture annals. However, in Portrait of Maria, a drama filmed in Mexico and now being released by MGM, Miss del Rio essays role radically different from any she has ever attempted previously, that of an Indian girl,
 In this new characterization the noted Mexican star makes an abrupt and striking departure from her familiar portrayals of aristo- cratic heroines. Gone are the glam- or of Parisian fashions, the worldly backgrounds of wealth and sophisti- cation. Instead, the versatile Miss del Rio offers the stirring portrait of simple, frail Indian girl bur dened from birth with 8 tragic weight of poverty.

The days mail brought me three
letters, almost identical but from
widely separated parts Of the
United States. In each, a young
woman complained that she didn't
meet any marriageable men.
Where are they?" she asks.
Maybe I'm in the wrong part Of
the country. I'm willing to mi
grate-but where?"
The number of marriageable
men varies greatly in different
parts Of the country. The West
has the most, the East has fewest.
The Census figures will locate
them for you. I pointed out 20
years ago. however. that it is not
enough to compare unmarried
men and women of the same ages
in any State because men, in gen.
eral, do not marry women Of their
own ages but somewhat younger.
If we take from the 1910 Gen.
sus the proportion Of men aged
1928 to women aged 20-25, both
unmarried, we would have a fair
picture of the reservoirs Of posi-
BILE husbands and wives-So far as
age and singleness 60. OF course,
there are a lot Of other things to
be considered.
But the States. in order Of pref
erence, in which women would

attached males Of marrying ages.
are:
Nevada, Wyoming, Idaho, Cali
fornia, Arizona, Montana, WASH
ington, Oregon. New Mexico, Flor
ida,s Texas, Vermont, Virginia.
Maryland and North Dakota.
Before a young woman from
Brooklyn or the Bronx sets out
for Nevada or Wyoming, however,
she should ask herself whether
she is sure she would be happy
for life if married to a miner or
sheep rancher. There might be
more unmarried males in Nevada
or Wyoming, but more unmarried
males of her own type in Brooklyn
or the Bronx!

Supreme Court
Asked To OverruIe
Judges Decision

Washington (LPA) = A multi
million dollar network of small
loan outfits in Texas and Other
southern and western states has
begun it's court battle against gov
ernment charges of conspiring tc
keep the interest rate as high as
20% month on loans to thousands
of borrowers. Most of the loans
were small amounts-from $5 tC
$50.
The antitrust division of Justice
Dept charges that Rufus Dewitt
King, of Miami, Fla, and two as
sociations, 27 corporations, and Sd
other individuals conspired to set
interest rates, to adhere to various
conditions of doing business, and
to oppose any state laws which
might regulate their money-lend-
ing activities.
First victory in the court battle
went to the money-lending chain,
when Judge Ben. H. Rice in FEEDER
al District Court in San Antonio,
Tex, ordered the defendants tried
separately.
The Judge called the indictment
brought in by grand jury "af11-
biguous, verbose and replete with
conclusions"
An "abuse of judicial power and
abnegation of judicial duty" was
the way the Justice Dept charact-
erized Judge Rice's ruling, in a
motion the Department filed ask
ing the Supreme Court to overrule
his order.
Evidence against the lending
outfits includes report on how, in
1889, money was paid to Speaker
Emmet Morse of the Texas House
to block action on bills regulating
the small loan industry. Besides
the Triangle Securities Trust Co.
and the United Operating Co., con-
trolled by King, the outfits under
fire include: lson Brothers; the
partnership of j. Lee Wilson and
+. j. Baxter; Claude K. Grove;
the Samuel d. Bell chain covering
II finance companies in Georgia
and the Carolinas; Lew D. French;
E. B. Terrell & Co.; the Oscar ID.
White chain; and the Tom B. Slid
er chain.
One of Kings two companies,
over a seven-year period, paid more
than $5,800,000 in profits to the
King family, and one year earned
more than a million dollars from
the thousands of small loans made
at sky-high interest rates.
