AT THE THEATERS
&
Granada Bing Crosby will be seen in his latest picture "Here Is My Heart.” at the Granada theater Sunday. Several of the late song hits are heard in this film and Crosby's genuine talent for comedy is given full recognition. Kitty Caflisle. Roland Young and Alison Sklpworth are included in the supporting cast. The story is that of a millionaire crooner in search of fun. He falls hoplelessly in love with a Russian princess who. even though she has lost her position and money, still retains her frosty hauteur. It is Crosby’s problem to chip the ice off and find the nice girl that he is sure is concealed, beneath. As the first step he buys the hotel in which the princess is living. And then he disguises himself as her waiter. The princess, because she fin<ls a tendency to fall in love with the handsome singing waiter, makes things more difficult for him. But eventually the aristocrat and the crooner are united. "Home on the Range." from the
story by Zane Grey and starring Jackie Coogan. will be seen for the last time tonight. Yoncastle “Biography of a Bachelor Girl,” Girl,” coming to the Voncastle theater Sunday brings back a team which won dramatic fame with a single picture. They are Ann Harding and Robert Montgomery, together again for the first time since the prize-winning "When Ladies Meet." Miss Harding is the bachelor girl, and an exceedingly glamorous one. She is Marion, artist and sophisticate. who has tread the gallant path to fame. Montgomery is the curt Mr. Kurt, hard-boiled magazine editor who induces the girl to write the story of her life. Immediately arises the amusing situation of a train of ex-admirers flocking back to her to beg her to abandon the project, one which would bring ruin to them, now that they have become important public figures. Alexandre Dumas’ "The Count of Monte Cristo.” starring Robert Donat and Elissa Landi, is the feature attraction tonight.
STATE OW NED CEMENT PLANT SHOWS A PROFIT
PIERRE, S. D. (UP) Showing a profit of more than $250,000 over a two-year period, the South Dakota state-owned and operated cement plant vindicates "government in business" advocates, its sponsors claim. Despite two disastrous entries in to the fields of finance and industry, South Dakotans defeated an amendment in the November elections which would have forbidden state business ventures. The showing of the cement plant at Rapid City was partly responsible, it is believed. The cement plant has turned $1,000,000 into state coffers since its inception 10 years ago. In contrast the state coal mine, 'failing even to meet operations costs, was sold at a loss and the state still is paying $2,000,000 yearly interest on bonds floated by the defunct rural credit department. It is claimed for the two unprofitable enterprises that they served good purposes the coal mine in lowering prices and providing for needy, the rural credit department
in keeping farmers on land that otherwise would have been ’’ sold for
mortgages. ( »

Mr. Chipps says all England had to lo in a changing world was to preserve her dignity and her sense of proportion. That sounds simple but isn’t That is all any of us have to do in any kind of world is just to preserve our dignity and sense of pro portion. If we could see ourselves in our proper proportions in surrounding time and space most of life’s tragedies would turn out to be comediea.
* * *
If we saw our town in its proper proportions there could be true civic pride. If we saw our Nation as playing a role in a drama infinitely greater than any one actor’s part, there could be truer patriotism. If we saw our own universe as a part of an incomprehensible whole, we’d be ashamed of some of our little strivings, and jealousies, and tantrums.

There is a story somewhere about manufacturers, desperate because their commodities did not sell, calling in designers to work out beautiful kitchen furnishings sinks and ice boxes. And to plan color and better looking models for bathtubs and other house-hold gadgets. This bright idea bom of desperation, which offered aesthetic as well as utilitarian value, increased sales by leaps and bounds. |

Then along comes Robert Quillen and says the only real beauty is to be found in absolute fitness for the task a thing is to perform. It is all very confusing. One seemed to get the idea that a large pink satin bow. admirable in itself tho’ it is, wouldn’t add to the beauty of a tractor. He did not say this, you understand one got the
drift. * * *
If this is true there is hope for all. and many lowly things in the home will be surprised that they are beau-
tiful.
For instance, nothing could be better fitted for the work they have to do than our bed-room slippers They have just two functions to perform be comfortable, and keep the dust off of our soles. They are imitation leather, faded, cracked and perfectly shapeless, but they must be beautiful. they are absolutely fitted for their task and the older they get. the
fitter. * » *
I forget who it was. but someone, admiring a city street at night when electric signs winked and blazed above him and away as far as the eye could reach said: "What a pity a man can read."
* * *
The delirious reporter has given way to the vertiginous advertiser. Advertising surely isn’t what it used to be. For instance. "The Forgotten Sixty” isn’t the title of a war or detec live story no sir, It’s the running start for a tooth-paste ad. "When skies are sombre, "When fields are white witlr •now" isn’t poetry, it’s the beginning of an impassioned exhortation to drink juice. The best American is the man who, whether he 1m- wage earner or employer, is working to make a business pay." No, you're wrong, this is not part of an essay on recovery, it is another ad "They shall serve mankind forever.” Sounds like tho close of an epic poem. You <1 never guess what.
* • *
"Sooner or later, Old Guards an I New Dealers alike unite in n single party.' I his could be a campaign speech, only the prediction is a little unusual for that, but it is just something harmless to drink again. Here’s a honey: "No crystal gazer is this man - "No prophet who can peer "Into the future, “Yet to him falls the task "Of taking the uncertainty "Out of tomorrow.” I’ve read free verse not half so good and yet the man who wrote it was no poet, modern or antique.
* * *
These gems are all from a magazine dated January 12th The cream of the collection was a coffin ad taking a whole page and modeled after eighteenth century manuscripts railed "Serious Thoughts for Young Readers." It is too long to quote and anyway t why harrow us up ' a cemetery is absolutely the last place I want to
go.
