LEAGUE SESSIONS TO ATTRACT MANY THE PIQUA DAILY CALL' SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1934 flround the Town How would you like to answer the telephone over 3100 ttmee repeating cadi time the score of a Piqua high football game to anxious and ex clteable tons who were unable to see the Piqua Indians play. That was the task of selected operators at Main 1730 for seven particular days or nights during the past season. And the stories that those operators could tell about funny incidents, odd Inquiries and still more peculiar responses ol fans. At times the Hood of Mils was more than could be handled rapidly and telephone company operators cooperated by lining up ten calls at a time and then plugging them Hi for Main 1730 where a PDC operator reported the latest score. Consider the plight of a certain man about to who one day last week made a wager of fifty cents thsit Piqua would beat Troy Thinks giving Day and then forgot who the perirm was with whom he had made the bet.

Friday, all day long, he thought and thought, asked this one and that one in vain eiiort to determine "who owed him fifty cents?" Talk al'out a man being worried over an income tax report, this "forgetting sict" hus almost worn this man about town to a frazzle, at least mentally. Perhaps the most unexpected Sn uiry relative to Thanksgiving Day football scores came In the call a PDC phone late Thursday when a rather high pitched voice surprised a PDC reporter with the question "What was the score ol the Ohio State Minnesota game?" The PDC employe gulped and then inlormed the caller that Ohio State and Minnesota were not scheduled to play this year. "Oh," came festival scheduled in the Greenville Methodist church December 1 2, passed the 350 mark Friday with every Indication that over 400 delegates would attend various sessions during the two days.

Advance res species of pitcher plant nud use the reply, "I thought sure they were." It seems the caller had been reading of the proposed Ohio State Minnesota, game with proceeds tc ko to charity but had failed to not', that all negotiations had been called oil. The story is going the rounds that a certain group ot local workers ior roine years employed In a Piqua fac tory, were transferred to a central Ohio city to work in a similar in duslry, The hours on the new job were short and gave the Piqua workers much extra time for recreation. It became the habit of these transplanted Piquads to dress up and loaf about town. In the party was one man named "Hoyd." This all liflppcned Just at the time of the recent flare up and eventual killing of the noted bandit "Pretty Boy" Floyd. The Piqua Floyd's companions hi a iok ing manner, took to calling their buddy "Pretty Boy." A native of the city in which they were working overheard one call the other "Pretty Boy" and a moment later refer to the same man as "Floyd." This eager citizen, knowing that tills group of men had been appearing rather regularly on the streets all dressed up promptly put two and two together and reported to the police that "Pretty Boy Floyd and his gang were in town." The Piquads were rounded up and taken to headquarters, and forced to give a complete and most definite explanation of their actions before the officers of the law were completely satisfied and the Piquads were released.

Needless to say, the nickname of "Pretty Boy" is indeed something that the entire Piqua crowd wishes would be completely erased from any man's category. And who blames 'em? MOVIE REVIEWS SCHINE'S FIQTJA THEATER "CRIME WITHOUT PASSION" Sc "KANSAS CITY PRINCESS." Ben Hecht and Charles MatArthur, who don't like literary rules, have put across another cinema success In "Crime Without Passion," which with "Kansas City Princess" is showing today only at Schine's Piqua. It turns a lot ol picture making customs topsy turvy but It gets thprc. The first convention knocked for a loop is the story itself. This is about a great criminal lawyer.

Always, up to now, it tns been customary to take the leading actor, get him into a Jam and then watch birr wiggle out of it. The court, room ene usually ends the picture. In this case the film starts out with it and the story builds to the lawyer's personal jam in preference tD away from it. The lawyer is brilliant a courtroom nut a combination of egr: stlcal maniac and chump a boudoir. He's mixed up with a brunette dancer who he wants ditch for a blonde, but his profound egotism prevents his airing the' da: by the specified route and he turns to a fiendishly petty routine of throwing sus.pic.ion.

Claude Hams is the lawyer and does a masterly job. The funny thing aijout "Kansas City Princess" is that, despite It being a frothy bedroom picture about ladies on the make, it Is absolutely clean. Everything hi it is good comedy but maybe that's the trouble. Audiences, all set for something really will be disappointed. Joan Blondril and (Jlenda Farrcil, two manicurists, are the girls who attract all the trouble, with Robert Armstrong and Hugh Herbert playing opposite.

Armstrong is always so good, invariably so adequate to his assignments, that I cannot understand why he hasn't gotten farther. Photojraphy and production of both pictures are A and it's a shajne they are only shovcing one day, and a Saturday at that, when so many fo.ta wral.li: to go lo the merles.
