Western Rodeo to Be Staged at Coliseum The “World Championship Rodeo” will be produced at the coli.'••um at the state fairground for an engagement of six days, starting Teusdav, Sept. 25, under the personal direction of Colonel W. T. Johnson, veteran rodeo producer, maker of the foremost western conj test events in America. For the first time in history, this famous gathering of western and near champions will vie for honors in a meet before the annual contest in Madison Square Gardens, New York City. One of the ‘‘meanest,” fastest, wildest strings of rodeo animals ever turned loose in an arena to pit their ! instinctive wildness against the skill of America’s foremost cowboy | and cowgirl stars, is being assembled. Horses, steers and calves are being gathered from many points for : the contest in which between 150 ! and 200 rodeo stars wiy compete. All contestants will pay fees to ! enter the different events, and will have a chance at the prize money only by displaying their prowesson animals furnished them by Colonel Johnson and assigned them by draw. Crawford at Palace The public response has been so great to past Crawford-Gable pictures that Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer again has assembled the two famous romantic stars in “Chained,” anew picture at Loew s Palace theater. Miss Crawford is seen as Diane Lovering, modern Manhattan miss who has promised herself to a considerate, wealthy, but elderly man when life’s greatest blessing comes to her—true love. Clark Gable is seen as Mike, handsome South American rancher who is madly in love with Miss Crawford —but to no avail because of her previous pledge. Otto Kruger is said to turn in a vivid characterization of the elderly Mr. Field, millionaire ship-line owner, who although married, would give up everything for the lovely Diane. Stuart Erwin plays the comedy foil for Gable in the role of Johnnie. Story was written especially for the screen by Edgar Selwyn and adapted by John Lee Mahin. Clarence Brown, whose distinguished touches set every production in which he has a hand far above the usual run of film fare, is responsible for the direction. A Thelma Todd and Patsy Kelly comedy, “One Horse Farmers,” a Willie Whopper cartoon. “Jungle Jitters,” a Chic Sale oddity “Old Shop" and the latest news events have been selected to round out the program for the week's showing at Loews. tt m m Movie Held Over Shirley Temple is so popular at the Circle in “Now and Forever" that she has been held over for a second week. In the cast w|,th the baby star are Gary Cooper. Carole Lombard and Sir Guy Standing.
