The shrill "wolf whistle," obviously meant been heard by every fellow pedestrian in the same block on First avenue. For a moment, she seemed undecided whether to duck into a coffee shop to escape the stares, or continue walking. Then, gathering all her courage into one disapproving frown, she turned shameless "wolf." Grining delightedly, right behind her, was her full-grown son.

BUT THE ELASTIC NEEDS RENEWING" Were they really the "good old days," back there in 1918? At the now defunct store of Kemp Hebert, Washington and Main, you could buy a new coat for $3. A well-boned corset cost just 85 cents. the lady of the house were so minded. she could buy cotton material at 10 cents a yard to make her husband's shirts. Fine, highbutton shoes were $1.98 a pair.

Nightshirts for men, "of muslin with fancy trim," sold for 63 cents each. At the fish market, Spokane housewives bought bass for 15 cents a pound, and crabs for 25 cents each. The advertisement of a wellknow dentist's office offered a set of false teeth for $10, and extractions for 50 cents each. Auto goggles retailed at 10 cents. They were, the ad read, "worth 35 cents, but the elastic needs renewing." Sound like the "glory days?" Old-time Spokanites say no.

Salaries and prices showed a much wider spread than now. We're much better off, in Our Town, today than then. A 'LITTLE HOLLYWOOD' -ALMOST Most Spokanites may not realize it, but once we were "almost" a movie colony. Roughly 40 years ago now, Minnehaha park was swarming with movie stars. Permanent studios had been set up in remodeled park board buildings and the Washington Motion Picture corporation was in full swing.

Tyrone Power (father of the present star) came to town to play the hero in the company's film, and a luscious little brunette named Miss Florence Turner was his leading lady. She boarded with the Albert Leslies on Cuba street and, according to her landlord. "had a lot of diamonds she kept in a special box." Power, from his apartment at the Davenport, issued a statement that "All eyes in the screen world are on Washington Motion Picture corporation to see what can be done with the scenery out here. The man in London and can see interior scenes of wealth or degradation whenever he to. but he can't see these mountains, lakes and waterways." The director, Lawrence Trimble, was equally enthusiastic about Our Town.

"There is everything here--bits of England, snatches of Wales, an Irish lake. And you have every of architecture in town. Lots type, country" houses and an Italian villa are at hand." A Spokane theater man named C. E. Stilwell returned from a California trip with the word that "southern producers tell me light conditions in the Spokane country are the best in the United States.

outside of But, somehow, Spokane never became a movie capital. The Washington Motion Picture corporation went into receivership its immediately after producing first picture. The film, appropriately enough, was named "Fool's Gold' apparently all that glittered wasn't.
