SPEEDWAY THEATRE A picture that will make every American proud that he is an American where achievement is within the grasp of all who persevere, opens Sunday for a three day showing at the Speedway Theatre. It is “Edison, The Man,” so inspirational that one feels he is witnessing a great truth and yet so dramatic and exciting that the spectator wonders if this can be real life instead of fiction. It is real life, human drama such as America loves. And looming above everything else is a characterization that is startling in its perfection. That is the portrayal of Spencer Tracy as Edison. Had he ever appeared on the Screen before, this one role would have convinced the world that he is one of the greatest actors of all time in any field of histrionics. Supporting Tracy is a cast of fine performers, with outstanding portrayals turned in by Rita Johnson, who certainly will go places after this one, Lynne Overman, Charles Coburn, Gene Lockhart, and dozens of others. It is a picture that will live in the minds of the audience for years to come. Also on the same nrogram will be a bright new comedy in which Bing Crosby shares honors with his youngest co-star, Gloria Jean, in “If I had My Way.” Bing appears as a steelworker, one of a trio of pals that include El Brendel and Donald Woods. Gloria is the daughter of Woods, and when the father is killed in a bridge accident Bing and Brendel take her to New York to live with relatives. Complications ensue when Brendel generously buys a bankrupt case from a friend, and with the problems of the three comrades in making the business pay. Gay tunes, the best Bing has

SWEET-SCENTED VIOLETS (By Elizabeth Sloan, Iowa) Poets call the Violet “shy and modest,” and so it is, in its requirements and cheerful inclination to grow almost anywhere. But when it blooms and each plant becomes a mound of purple, or white or even sometimes pink, then ho one can call it shy. Down in the woods on rich sandy bottom land I have seen purple patches that seemed almost unbelievable. Not cverv one can go to the woods when die Violets bloom but almost every gardener can have the beauty and fragrance of these lovely flowers right under his windows. I have had the pleasure of picking Sweet Violets (viola odorata,) the ones that grew in old-fashion-ed gardens, all through the winter mouths. Their prodigality of bloom is amazing and their fragrance so sweet that a small bunch will scent the room and bring Spring on a dark winter day. Nearly every nursery catalogue lists Viola Odorata and its varieties, and a few plants are sufficient for a start. They increase by runners. like strawberry plants and multiply rapidly. I planted my Violets on the south side of the house in a coldframe covered with two ordinary window sash. In the winter they get all the sunshine possible and

in summer the foliage is protected .from the hot sun by the overhanging branches of an old butternut tree. Here, in a rather sandy loam mixed with a little leaf-mold, they stay green and fresh all winter. They don’t seem to mind the cold but in zero weather I cover the frames with a padded comfort. In a mild winter they will bloom intermittently from December through February, with a burst of bloom in March; but vahen the Winter is very cold it is sometimes February when they bloom. Watch for ice on the outside of the glass so it doesn’t burn the foliage when the sun ray’s strike it In the spring, separate the small plants from the larger and replant. I have several varieties, the oldfashioned purple Sweet Violet, and the newer Rosina. Marie Louise, Czarina, and double Russian. Rosina is the “pink violet” and is really a charming old-rose color, and is very floriferous. It is slight ly dwarfer than the purple types

and is a very engaging little perennial. Marie Louise is a light lavender, but does not seem to be as strong or as profuse a bloomer as the deep purple or pink varieties. Czarina is a fine single white,. with no trace of black penciling. The- double Russian does not seem to do so well for me, but I intend to plant it in a shadier place. Other new varities, that I have not as yet tried are Frey’s Fragrant, a long-stemmed deep purple; Florence, single white with lavender markings; Swanley, double white; and Lady Hume Campbell, double blue. If you do not wish to go to the expense of a cold frame, cover them with leaves and while they will not bloom in the winter, the first days of spring will see a sprinkling of purple bloom. Try the Sweet Violets. They will reward you with enduring fragrance and beauty. —Madison Cooper’s Gardening Magazine.
