Bette Davis, who won the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences award for the best performance by any actress in 1935 is starred in "The Golden Arrow,” at the Voneastle tonight. The story concerns a young heiress who can buy anything she wants except the man she loves. George Brent has the
principal supporting role.
"Sunset of Power.” with Buck
Jones and Dorothy Dix is the Satur- all right,
day attraction. It is the story of a vindictive ruthless cattle baron who finds there is a greater power than that with which he rules his vast do-
main.
Chateau “Three On the Trail,” the latest in the series of “Hopalong Cassidy” pictures, comes to the Chateau tonight and Saturday. Made by Paramount this series is better than the average “horse opera" type of western. Clarence E. Mulford created the character of “Hopalong Cassidy,” portrayed on the screen by William Boyd. Other characters in tne film, although bearing names familiar to Mulford readers, have Decome so twisted and distorted as to become unrecognizable, especially that of “Johnny Nelson” enacted by Jimmy Ellison. It is a good “western” but the story is by Doris Schroeder, a scenario writer, and not by Clarence E. Mulford.
ITALIAN PUPILS WILL BE TAUGHT TO SPEAK LATIN
ROME 'UP' When school opens this fall Italian pupils will be faced with the unpleasant task of really learning to speak, read and write Latin, mother language of Italians. That they will do it, there is no doubt—because Premier Mussolini has issued orders to make Latin a living ami vital language" in Italian schools. Instructions recently distributed to teachers by Count de Vecchi di Val Cismon. Minister of Education, said the system of Latin instruction must be changed and students made to learn to handle Latin like any modem language. Starting this fall, therefore. Italian school children will not only be taught to read Latin, but also to speak and write it They will be told to consider Latin as a "living rather than a "dead'' language. Italians nurse the hope Latin may be revived as an international language. Already it is noted many foreign students of church schools in Rome converse in Latin.

to “help” him.
His erect body seemed to sag in the middle. They felt of his “stomach.” A steel spring. They looked at his fare. It was fixed and staring, as if a man from Mars had dropped

he said, and tucked
Rob(ot) Highlow under his arm. Mr. Highlow has made two such jumps. Kuhn expects to use him for many more. He has patented “the only man ol nis kind in the business.” Prime purpose: To provide a safe method ot testing 'chutes, especially those to be used in delayed jumps,
which are perilous at best.
Rob Highlow is a mechanical robot. His jointed arms and legs operate from a clock-work motor. This directs him in making as perfect parachute jumps as any man. The ’chute opens on a time-clock basis a certain number of seconds after the dummy is pushed over-
board.
Kuhn himself made his first parachute jump at 16, since he's made 100. He is an employe of the census bureau of the department of commerce. Like his creator, Rob wears jumpers for jumping He made his first two leaps without a scratch.

PEARL OUTPUT TO BE CUT
TOKYO. (UP) The sharp decline in prices of pearls natural and cultivated has caused Kokichi Mikimoto, Japan’s "Pearl King” to arrange for the closing of many of his pearl farms. Necklaces of cultivated pearls, which a few years ago were rather highly prized have been selling in Tokyo recently for as little as $7. The difference between the cultivated and natural pearl is slight, in both cases the pearl is slight. In both cases irritating substance getting inside the oyster. In the cultivated pearl the irritant is applied by human agency and the oyster does the rest. Control of. production is necessary Mikimoto believes, and he plans to reduce the output to a third of its present rating. Just as in the case of the silk industry, the farmers began to grow pearls along the seashore. There are now 230 pearl culturists in Japan Mikimoto says. He intends to buy these small pearl farms. Thereafter he will become a salesman lather than a producer. The Mikimoto interests gather and sell natural pearls also hut in this line there is severe competition in other countries.

RAIL WORKERS DON GAS MASKS TO AVOID SAND
ALEXANDRIA <UP> — British workers wearing gas masks as protection from the sand, have accomplished a remarkable engineerinj^eat in the Egyptian desert In 77 ways they have built a 49mile railway through a sandy, rocky and waterless region to connect Alexandria with Maraa Matruh. the British Air Force and military headquarters and the nerve center of communications in the Western desert. At the end of 1935 the Egyptian State Railways decided that the existing railway from Alexandria to Foka would have to be rapidly extended to Marsa Matruh. The rough road covering 49 miles between Foka and Marsa Matruh had been cut to pieces by lorries bringing up the necessary supplies to the British Army and Air Force camp there. In face of almost overwhelming difficulties, a railway to displace this road has been laid. Lack of materials shortage of labor, and almost continuous sand storms were among the problems which beset the engineers
