Assuming they are satisfactory, and there is little chance otherwise, this will be the young star’s next picture. Director Russell Mack, even now, is completing plans for starting production. Os shorter duration, but of equal interest to the film colony, Lew’s spat with Lola Lee also secins to be smoothed over, at least temporarily. The two have found the course of love pretty rough, but they always come back to each other. WHOOPS! Walter Pidgeon is a friend of mine, but this one is just too funny. It seems that Walter made an _ impressive entrance this week into an art store on Wilshire Boulevard. The clerks were overawed by his six feet plus and his booming voice. For a good while, Walter examined renaissance figures, finally, i he went up to the proprietress. SDo you know what I am looking for?" he asked. “1 want something quaint and unique in a dish for the butter for my artichoke.” LATEST GOSSIP. Everyone attacks Hollywood for its lack of brains. How about the man who chose Adolphe Menjou to play the fiery managing editor in “The Front Page?" Who would have suspected he could turn in a superb performance in a role totally unlike anything in his career? That wasn’t an obvious deduction.. The Spanish yer-ions of pictures are previewed in Mex-

The new product has not been named as yet, but tests have proved it to be fireproof and to be easily sawed and penetrated by nails though it is seemingly hard as steel. The inventor says that it means, to the wage earner a moderate inexpensive home, without the fire hazard. o — MONROE NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Junies A.

FOR YOUR INSPECTION THE MERCHANT and manufacturer who advertise, actually are placing their merchandise before you for inspection. They invite your most critical attention and an uncompromising comparison. And their advertisements, so to speak, say to their products: “We have introduced you to the public—now stand on your own merits.” If the manufacturer and merchant did not have confidence in their wares, they would hesitate to call attention to them. For advertising rigidly tests the maker, the seller and the merchandise. Business so tested, and found not wanting, is prosperous. Tn the long run, you can depend on the man who advertises, as well as on his product. That is one reason why people have found that it pays to read advertisements. It is through advertising that the excellent things of the world are brought to the attention of those who are seeking for the best and most eco- / nomical way to spend their money. Read the advertisements. They are news. ✓ Decatur Daily Democrat
