Mrs.

Herrington was assisted by Mrs. Ben i H. Minton in the duties of hostess, Officials of the Parent-Teacher association of the school announce it as the largest turnout of mothers for an affair of this kind, which is staged to allow mothers to get acquainted with the teachers, and the work of the children. Mrs. Elsie Porri and Miss Anna M.

Sutch are the teachers for Grade Three. Achievements and spelling test charts were on display for the benefit of the visitors, and following the enjoyable period with the children, tea and cake were served to the mothers. Seven mothers joined the as a result of the happy social time, which brought the membership of the Holly Avenue School A. to the respectable total of seventy-eight. Next Week This evening and tomorrow the management of the Arcadia theater is presenting "Hell'i Howard Hughes' amazing air sensation of the films, featuring Jean Harlow, Ben Lyon and James Halt.

The famous platinum blonde star reached the heights in thii film, it being her flrat real chance, and since that time has been featured in many show, though with but mediocre success. However, in "Hell's Angela" she gives an excellent performance and the work of Lyon and Hall ia superb. Some of the most amazing aeroplane fights are depicted and for sheer thrills this film is outstanding as an epic of the air. Those who have seen the famous production will no doubt wish to see it again, and those who have not seen it will certainly make a point of attending a performance this evening or tomorrow. As if the fine film was not enough, Miss Janet Malbon.

and the Tindle Brothers, managers of the playhouse, have booked a Mickey Mouse cartoon and the Fox Movie- tone News, so packed houses should greet the four showings of this program at the East Huntington drive showhouse. Sunday and Monday, Clive Brook will be the featured star in "Twenty-four Hours," supported by Kay Francis, Miriam Hopkins and Regis Toomey. Lucille La Verne will give one of her character studies in the part of "Mrs, Dacklehorse," which to those who know the ability of this actress will give a good deal of pleasure. Although this film is a murder mystery, it is unusual in its theme and development, the audience be- in the know about the murder Courage Needed States Speaker Rtattbers Woman's Clab of Arcadia Urtvd to Have Faith in Depression Times Taking as keynote of his address a quotation from the Wall Street Journal, "The supreme need in thii period of economic depression, aa in all times of stress, is faith, and that sublime spiritual courage that sustained our forebears in founding this nation," H. V.

Adams of the speakers' department of the Security First National Bank of Loi Angeles, gave an inspiring half-hour to his listeners at the Woman's club of Arcadia Wednesday. The quotation, in substance, which one might attribute to a more spiritual source, was a revelation of that imperishable human quality, Faith, which is strong within the hearts of all classes alike, whether they be financial leaders of the country or spiritual advisors, Elaborating upon Ms theme, the speaker told of the value o'f faith in one's vision the means of carrying to completion great projects and enterprises.

The discovery of America, he said, was the result of ane man's faith in his dream of a world beyond the horizon.

The whole affair takes place within twenty-four hours, and the feature is packed full of interest, and will no doubt prove good entertainment. The fourth of the Knute Rockne series of football talks will be given, and with the interest in the pigskin game at the crest of the wave, many will attend to hear the interesting- explanations of plays. In addition, a Glen Tryon comedy has been secured, which rounds out a well planned bilL Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will again be the feature nights, with the Four Marx Brothers in "Monkey as the bright partciular attraction.

The play is interesting and with fine 3 Rockliffe Fellows, will be sure to pack the Arcadia theater at every performance, for they enjoy a wide popularity, and in "Monkey Business" create more laughs than any other film which has been shown for many months. There is, of course, no real plot to the story, for even if one had been written the four Marx Brothers would change it all around.

They are given a skeleton outline of a plot and then all the various gags known to these four stars are fitted into the show. Suffice to say every member of the quartet is allowed to display his particular ability and the film exploits their excellent work to the greatest possible degree. There is not a dull minute in the show, and although Thanksgiving vacations may cut into the usual crowds attending "Monkey Business," it is believed that the local playhouse will have to award the film the badge of merit for holding the box office records. i As usual, many interesting- films are promised by the local theater managers in the near future, "Sob Sister," featuring James Dunn and star, Linda Watkins, will whimsical and humorous manner. the speaker pictured the disastrous results that would be incurred if everyone possessed million dollars: the paralyzed industries and of invention; absence, of labor to do the tasks necessary to the business of living.

It is not the economic situation, generally speaking, that breaks a man, he stated; the Individual can adjust himself to economic conditions, as long as he fights and has faith and courage. The use of the dollar is an attitude of mind, he believes, and the ability to save is not governed by the size of one's income, but by his habit of mind regarding his money. No magic of social control, he said, makes it easier to get possessions. This lies in effort and understanding, vision, ability, constant toil and application. Mr.

Adams was secured as the speaker of the afternoon through the courtesy of W. J. Ellery of the Monrovia branch of the Security tank, Mrs. Adams also was a guest Of the club during the program and was introduced to the members present, The music prelude griven by Erwin Feibelkorn, tenor, who sang "Ah, Moon of My Delight." from the suite "In a Persian 'In a Luxembourg Garden," and Other numbers, Mrs. L.

All the money obtained from the carnival is to go towards the Christmas charities planned by the girls, $11.55 having been realized November 7 from the cooked food successfully staged in a store on Baldwin avenue, immediately south of the Bank of America. Plans are already afoot to hold another cooked food sale, the next lone being scheduled for December, in the hope that further money will be added to the charity fund of the club to carry on the good work of the sorority in connection with needy families in the city. Many people in Arcadia have seen the overnight leather case which is filled with cosmetics and which is planned as a delightful Christmas gift, which the sorority plans to auction at the Sorority house this evening, and as the competition for the case is likely to result in lively bidding, a tidy sum will be added to the club treasury.

Wednesday evening, in the City Hall, Gordon S. Eberly as chairman of the committee called the rccxibera to order, thoae present being: Mrs. Edna Buhler, secretary; MIBB Grace McCurdy and Mrs. David H. Ray, Garden section.

Woman's club of Arcadia; Mrs. Ellen Nelson, American Legion Auxiliary: Mrs. Floyd Tester, Parent- Teacher association; C. B. Faulkner, City Planning commission and Masonic club; J.

E. Talley, Chamber of Commerce; J. E. Rose her, Masonic lodge; and William Blakt, American Legion. Following an Interesting evening of discussion, it was decided to request a joint session with the City Council for the purpose of completing plans for the improvement of the city, Various types of plants were discussed, and Mr.

Faulkner reported having contacted several nurserymen in regard to the best plants to be uad in Arcadia, and the almost unanimous recommendation was Desert Verbena, it requiring little water, and it being particuarly fine for parkways. Miss McCurdy reported the Garden section was gathering data in regard to types of plants and would report later. The committee decided to beautify the business districts first, and at the same time to purchase seed that could be bought by citizens who wished to beautify their residential property, the seed to be sold at cost price to residents. It was recommended the city be asked to plant oak trees along the Foothill boulevard, when the wid- Burglary Friday at Arcadia Home Martin Voh Lorn Seventeen DeUan Mu EBkert During Absence Martin VoU, who lives bouM at the rear of 752 Weat ton drive, arrived home last Friday flight about ten minutes tu twelve and found a pans-key in the door at the rear of his dwelling, and upon entering hi a house found his pocketbook containing seventeen dollars had been taken. The wallet contained ten- dollar bill, one five and two ones, and was in the Inside pocket of a coat hanging in the clothes cluwt.

Nothing elae was taken from the house, and Inter the wallet was found in the rear of the lot near the Southern Pacific railway. As Mr. Vote left the house about seven-thirty the burglarly was com- mitteed between seven-thirty and eleven-fifty. He immediately reported the matter to the local police department, but to date no trace has been found of the burglar. Literature Section of Woman's Club Enjoys Boot Review The Literature section of Woman's club held a meeting of unusual interest Wednesday morning at the clubhouse, with Mra.

Marion Gramm, chairman, presiding. The program was given by Mra. Edith Roberts, book reviewer, who talked on contemporary literature, including several books on Mexico. She also gave a short time to a discussion of pronunciation, citing numerous words which. are commonly mispronounced: also the uses of verbs and synonyms.

Although the Arcadia club's claims upon Mra. Roberts' time are first and very frequent, she also is popular as a reviewer among other clubs, and has given many fine programs in this district. Included in her Wednesday resume were the following books: General interest classification: Ladies' Night, which is an annual event of the Men's Fellowship club of Arcadia, is to be a community event brim full of interest this year. The date announced by the president Charles Stewart, is next Tuesday evening in the Arcadia Community church, begin- with an organ recital and re- ion at six-fifteen, with Mrs. Parker at the organ and a dozen prominent club members and their wives receiving.

However, the usual brother act is put on, with the sacrifice being made by Holt, as he has so often done in previous films. "Yellow Ticket" is a vehicle for Lionel Barrymore, and for that reason may draw many people to its showing. "Road to Singapore" will hold its attractions, as William Powell is the featured star, and the feminine population has always shown a partiality for this star. But there is one film coming to the Arcadia theater that every person in Arcadia should see, particularly those who know little about the history of the United States of America, for it features the superlative actor, George Arliss, in "Alexander Hamilton." Fine photography, excellent acting, fine staging through attention to detail of the period; a lesson in history which is human, and, above all, the story of a man's career that that should encourage every man who believes he is failing, to shoulder his burden afresh and on across the remainder of the road, to the goal he may have set. If no other film is by the man or woman who seldom attends the theater, "Alexander Hamilton," with George ArliBS, must be seen.
