many a laugh from dialogue that is delivered perfectly straight by the characters. For instance, we watch Director Henry King shoot a scene this week in which Alice Faye and Fred Mac Murray are arguing about where they are going to live after they get married. The set represents the tap-room of a tavern which Alice owns. Fred is lying on his back on a bench. Alice is sitting in a chair, looking down at him. She is dreaming ' about a fine place with servants Fred is unimpressed. "Maybe you can trade this tavern for a llttl house on Bowery lane or Greenwich Village," he suggests. New Yorkers will get a great kick out of Alice's reply. "Oh, no,” she says indignantly. "You ain't going to bury me on no farm! I want a town house on Wall street!" - ■■ The first scene shot for "The Road to Singapore” is one where Bing Crosby and Bob Hope are exploring a South sea island where they have fled

to escape unwelcome mar- ■ riages. From I now on, they j agree, there will be no more girls. “If either one of us even looks at a woman," exclaims Hope, “the other can chop off his ears I and stuff them . down his throat.”

Bob Hope

"That’s right,” agrees Bing, “and I hope you choke." “Yeah?" Inquires Hope, “and I how do you think you are going to I look streamlined?" This scene comes just before they I walk into an island grog shop and meet Dorothy Lamour. Naturally, they both fall in love with her. We ask Bing who marries Dorothy at the end of the story. "I dunno,” he says, ”1 haven't got that far in the script yet." In case you hadn't heard, Dorothy is back in sgrongs again in “The Road to Singapore’* This makes two pictures in a row. Evidently, the fans have spoken and Dorothy has listened. One mors actress has lost her campaign to get away from the type of roles that made her famous.

Editor's note —* Following la a : history of the Adams County Home Economics clubs chorus prepared by members of the chorea.) About IS months ago Albert Stewart, dean of music»of Purdue university, visited In the county to meet with county agent L. E. Archbold. Mrs. E. W. Busche. county president of home economics clubs and several others to dlscusa the possibilities of organising a chorus among the members to promote better rnualc. A meeting was called and invitations sent to all home economic members in the county who were . interested In such a project. Many 1 ladles responded and great Inter- • eat was shown at the first two or three meetings. Some found the work too difficult since they had not read music for some 10 or IS : years and had sung very little In that time. Others thought they could not meet on Monday, the one day In the we-k not taken by some club for a meeting day. because they could not get the family wash done on that day. As a result the group became much smaller, but 35 ladies could take advantage of the good music program. By their regular attendance. Interest and study, a permanent organization was formed and is carrying on the work. The music studied by this group is not the '■hill-billy" type that seems so popular at this time, but rather music of high rating in the eyes of the erltks of today as j Noble Cain’s “Lullaby." "Salutation” by Richard Gaines, and "Homing" by Teresa Del Rlego. The music is selected by Mr. Stewart. The chorus now is a part of the extension program of Purdue university. The chorus is directed by Mrs. C. T. Habegger of Berne, under the presidency of Mrs. Roy Price. By various means such as banquets. suppers, public appearances, etc., the chorus has earned money to defray Its expenses to the Pur-

■ due mid-winter music festival where between 1.000 and 1.500 voices will make up the mass chorus of Indiana. There are at this lime 90 such choruses sponsored by Purdue. The value of this chorus can not now be estimated. But. by the training of mothers and grandmothers. the chorus is certain the children and grandchildren will have better guidance in music appreciation and interpretation than they have had tn the past. Instead of the children hearing mother sing "She'll B»- Coming 'Round lhe Mountain" or such, they are more likely to hear a chores mother singing "Thanks Be to • God” or "How Ixively are Thy Dwellings.” Already the club can : begin to see the fruits of its work. j for one four-year old boy. who many times is a visitor at the practices. • can sing parts of most of the songs in a very pleasing manner. • He hears the group and his moth--1 er at her dally practice while work--1 Ing at the sink or paring the vegetables and fruits for the family ’ meals. This group of ladies Is indeed a I very busy group. Nearly every 1 lady in the chorus is a leader in > church or community work as well as a home maker. They have learn- > ed to appreciate good mwslc and censor the poor. This, in the home : can guide the family In good radio • programs as well as community ; j and church programs They have learned that children must be guided in appreciation of music the same as In good health habits and the spiritual things of life. The club Is quite certain it has presented the reader some idea of what the group is doing by this article. Those who favor the program are requested to boost the chorus in every way possible. Those interested in membership , are requested to contact County Agent Archbold or any member of the chorus.
