Today’s win-ter-roughened
roads give you swell chance to try out BuiCoilSpringing’s gentle ride — raw weather emphasizes the stout snugness of Unisteel Bodies by Fisher and the convenience of the Flash-Way Direction Signal. Now’s when you most need firm new rubber — sure, soft, tiptoe brakes — Buick’s automatic choke — stout, taut frames and rugged bodies, and why wait for spring to buy beauty that gives your spirits a lift? Then too, driving speeds are naturally lower now and driving distances shorter, making this the best time of all to get a ear properly started in life. So figure it out! It’s a new year. You’ve turned a new leaf. Ask your Buick dealer what a new Buick will cost you now — and let every month of 1940 contribute to a happy new year!

Because of the natural and intelligent manner in which he has portrayed varied types of juvenile characters on the screen, Jackie Cooper is credited v/ith being an excellent project for the mythical title of All
American boy.
Each of his pictures has presented him as a different kind of youth and in n different home environment. He has had a remarkable chance to learn how boys in various social lev-
els live, work and play.
By way of illustration, Jackie plays a hard fisted young Irish oil driller in the new Universal drama “Two Bright Boys” in which he co-stars with Freddie Bartholomew starting Wednesday and Thursday at the
