Well, accidents will happen and almost invariably when the grab tor the shirt is made, the grasp includes the undershirt as well. Consequently new shirts are required for each performance. But the catch to that is that they buy up in quantity lots. old shirts that will serve the purpose but still not require their week's salary to purchase. And as for the harmonicas, they come close to literally having the "stuffin's" blown out of them.

They arc not big, elaborate and costly instruments, but are small and verj' ordinary looking mouth organs. boys play with such force that the average harmonica lasts only a few shows and is then discarded.

Clara Bow presents her first talkie and it is said that her voice is just as one would imagine it would be.

The tale has to do with a girl who falls like a ton of coal for one of her mstiuctors, a young man, played by Frederick Marsh who returns her love in spite of her capricious attendance at wild parties. Underlying the spirit of unbridled youth, there is a sound story of steadfast loyalty of Clara for her roommate. The story was' written by Warner Fabian, author of "Flaming Youth," and should affqad a good evening's entertainment. In addition there will be the cus ternary short subjects and organ solo.
