Utilizing movies of 1934-35 vintage, they are frenziedly trying to fill the gap left by the walkout of American film companies. During the preview of "Love Affairs," a short scene evoked sudden applause and the actress' name wasn't even among the credits. She was Ferike Boros once a luminary of the Hungarian stage who came to Hollywood about 1933 enjoyed a degree of success. There followed lean days while the cupboard was bare a burdensome Rolls-Royce stood unwanted in the garage So that applause was more than music it meant work.

I I s- -vr-. if i GAY, SAUCY PICTURE, "MIDNIGHT," AT PALACE Anything can happen at midnight, especially in Paris, and it does in "Midnight," one.

of the liveliest, gayest, wittiest and naughtiest films of the season, now featured at the Palace. The picture shows what happens when a modern gold-digging Cinder- The "Grouch Club," formerly on the west coast network, will be heard over NBC every Sunday at 5:30 p. m. starting April 16. The writer of this weekly feature is youthful Nathan Hiken, a well known Milwaukee boy, and who, as many will recall, is far from a grouch himself.

Nathan was born with the itch to write. At Washington High school he edited a column known as "Putting Him on the Spot." It was at the University of Wisconsin, however, that he conceived the idea of the "Grouch Club." Many will recall his "Griper's Column" in the Cardinal, student newspaper. Having graduated college, he became a writer for the United Press for a very short time, for his ambition was to become a writer for the radio and screen. Nathan was at a loss as to the end of which road lay an outlet for his ideas. Having traveled over a few roads and not finding that outlet, he decided to obey that old command "Go West, young man, go west." At the end of that long road, the sun shone a little brighter, for shortly after his arrival at Los Angeles he met young Jack Lescoulie, an announcer on a minor radio station.

Upon their first meeting Nathan poured out his ideas to Jack and it didn't take Nathan long to convince young Lescoulie that his ideas would "click" on the air. The "Grouch Club" was given a trial over a local station. The program caught on and as its popularity grew, it was moved to a better spot. Thousands of enthusiastic letters of praise poured in. A large national company bought the "Grouch Club" and it was amplified to fit the needs of a ten-station network.

The realization of their ambition came sooner than they had expected, that of being featured over NBC. His scripts are very much in demand by many radio personalities. wmmm Mil im km ItiilUr; ntill i' I'll "Ji 1 mmmmw C- ORIENTAL Far well at North NOW thru MONDAY TOWER 27th at Wells tii tentit iiiutiiui Mr iPtef GREAT 5f CtOItLAtllM LARRY COLLINS theIolikoffs RAYA SISTERS EMMETT OLDFIELD SSNSS fUN ON Ti OWUVAU 1 1 ULW, John Boles Shown with Gladys Swarthout in a scene from a recent picture Boulevard," the four Kin Loo sisters, who swing in a modern way, Croell and Allen, offering nifty nonsense, and Larry Collin, trombone virtuoso.

Aside from its brilliant and obviously impressive cast, the picture is distinguished by its magnificent and authentic re-creation of the scene and the times depicted. The lavish detail with which the Dodge City of the 1870's and the great plains which surrounded it are vividly brought to life on the screen make it easily be-r lievable that, as reported, the studio spent a million and a half dollars on the production.
