of heart-throbbitis. He is now one of these actors of the romantic type which all girls fall for. He says is isn't his pulse but his heart that bothers his sleep at night. Gurdon has taken a sudden back-set. because Dr. Paul Sum- mers has told him he was able to leave the hospital. Back in the Far East, we see Mellie Hardesty on her everlasting search for old dishes. Coming back via of Egypt, our instrument finds jr. Harrelson, one of the world's most famous archaeologists. deciphering the .hieroglyphics on Egyptians tombs. He still is looking for the missing link between hieroglyphics and shorthand. In Chicago, the city noted for its great number of criminals, we see a new phase of the game. A great building has this sign, on its frontg Stroker and San- tllfCl'.,, On going inside, we see the signs: Buddy T. Stroker, Dr. and Samuel XV. Sandifer, Undertaker. Again we visit New York, and this time it's the flying field. There is'a stunningly dressed young woman. to be sure. Charlotte Kerr, leaving to be married to a Romeo she met through the Port of Lonely Hearts in the True Story Magazine. Best VVishesl Let's wander out to the wharf and there we see Lyle Goodman and Scott Straube. These two sailor lads say that their hearts are in India, and they are going to that fair land. Ralph now wheels his instrument westward, and Hollywood comes in view. Lawrence lXliller's home is one of the most expensive in the whole movie colony. He says that he made his fortune from composing the Zipper Comedies. In his comedy, houses are entered through doors which zip open. people open and close their mouths with zippers. Car doors open by zippers. On waking people open their eyes by minute zippers. Next we sec a scene in Iowa, Fort Des Moines to be exact. There Sergeant Bob Lindsey is drilling a company of green recruits and shouting, Present arms. Coming nearer home for a few ,final scenes, we see a radio scene in St. Louis. The announcer standing before the mike dressed in boots and riding pants, is none other than Melvin. Noisey Chernault. 'lie announces the VVestern Riders Breakfast Food program daily. Today a playlette is being given, and one of the girls who confessed movie aspirations is playing the leading role. that of Mickey Mouse. The actress' name. Darline Ogden. is seen in print quite often. Still in St. Louis we see a cathedral, The Chapel in the Moonlight by name, and the pastor in his long black robe. The sign-board out in the entrance, reads: Robert Patrick, Pastor. Next we see a little tea-room and a very lovely one. too. A group of people are coming in and are met by the proprietorcss, Velma Hopkins and that delovely smile we all knew so well. Senaca, Missouri next rolls before our machine :mtl shows lean Chappel sitting in the sun, weaving a basket and telling little Sunset how when she was a girl she came down here to play basketball. .Xnd they beat Senaca, too, she adds. Still nearer home and we sec .Xlice Taylor, or I should say the former Alice Taylor, in a homey little domestic scene. She is most appropriately saying. Now, children. Sing like the birdies do. liy the way that's spinach in the spoon. For our last scene, Ralph puts off the pathetical last. we see a country church. and people standing there. .X bride seems to be the center of attraction, but Josephine Jamieson thinks it is the most exciting time of her life, for she has waited nearly three hours and still no groom! -V
