EVANGELICAL CLASS HAS MEETING MONDAY The Cum Join t's Class of the Evangelical church met Monday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frances Ellsworth. Mrs. Chester Reynolds was in charge of the

a romantic tryst on the Thames as soon as Henry finishes "Young Mr. Lincoln" for Zanuck. It was during a boating party on the Thames that the star met his future wife. The Case Marcel Lamaze the other midnight was the gossip's delight. Joy Hodges was there with Henry Willson and Johnny Downs, while her ex-fiance, Lee Bowman, squired Margot Stevenson ... In the bar was Bruce Cabot alone. At a ringside table sat Adrianne Ames, the ex-Mrs. Cabot, with Sir Anthony Hogg. Lee Tracy, whose boat, the Adore, won sixth place in the Cali-fornia-Honolulu race in 1936, will try again on July 4. He'll personally skipper the craft, with Mrs. Tracy going on ahead to welcome him in Honolulu. On the "Penthouse” set, Herbert Mundin is chortling gleefully over a letter from an Englishwoman, enclosing a snapshot of him taken on a British mine sweeper back in 1919. “Here is the photo you gave me 19 years ago while on shore leave," writes the woman. “Maybe you can find some use for it. I can’t.” In that pea-soup fog in the valley the other night, Priscilla and Rosemary Lane were lost for three hours. Their mother and Oren Haglund were out searching for them when they finally found their way home at 1:05 a. m. Red Golden is fit to be tied! His eK-wife read the false report of his engagement to Merna Kennedy and promptly had him served to appear in court

on the matter of back alimony.. And he's still fighting oft the jewelry and real estate salesmen that Norman Taurog, Myrna Loy and Bob Taylor sicked onto him... Don’t let the trite title scare you away from “Wife, Husband

. .-y Myrna Loy

and Friend.” The picture is a hilarious comedy about a married couple and their mixed-up singing careers ... A real directorial triumph for Gregory Ratoft! . . . Ona Munson and Antonio Moreno ara a new twosome . . . Why does Binnie Barnes, who has acquired a new glamor on the screen, go in for short skirts and tight coiffures In her night club 'appearances? The studio gowns and hair-dresses are so much more becoming.

Beyond the Dreams of Kings Perfumes from France, woolens from England, shoes from Massachusetts, oranges from Florida and California, coffee from Brazil, laces from Switzerland, motor cars from Michigan, pineapple juice from Hawaii... Isn’t it marvelous how the intricate machine of commerce constantly gathers the necessities, conveniences and luxuries of life from the four corners of the earth and puts them down right here in our home town? Have you ever stopped to think what an important part advertising plays in making all this possible? Without advertising, no merchant could afford to risk a large investment in merchandise—and wait and wait till some chance customer happened in... W ithout advertising, you would be unaware of the many lovely, useful, needful things assembled in the stores for your convenience.... Without advertising, finding what you wanted at a price you could afford woud be a matter of luck or of patient plodding from store to store. Mass production and sales volume —through advertising—have brought to the American people an ease and comfort of living that would have been beyond the wildest dream of kings of old.
