What was said to be one of the

ever given by, the Salem Heights
school was that featuring Thanks-

throughout, would have done Jus

Too, the artistic decorations fes

colorful effects furnished a love

shown in one of the songs. "We

In the dialogues, which fea

the early Colonists, particularly
picturesque were the. demure Purl-!
tan maids, with' white caps and
kirtles, together with the diminu

f j ; ' ; At Bigh's Capitol Theater Today
Again the winsome beauty of
Janet Gaynor will weave Its magic
over an audience in the showing of
2 Girls Wanted." Fox Films ver
sion of Gladys Unger's Broadway
stage hit at the Capitol theater to
day. Unlike the pathetic little
Paris sreet waif, whom Miss Gay

the picture which brought Iter
faraer in this, her first stellar role,
she plays " 1 the part ; of aT young
American working girl who must
make Jier own wayi x ;i .
And from; the--tragic role of
Diane, she steps into the coznedic
part of Marianni and ecorea'a tri
umphant characterization. She is
a typical American girt . In this
story, plucky, resourceful, with a
keen sense' of humor and always
lovable. Even when she dons a
boy's outfit, to get a boy's Job
when all other means cf getting
one fail, she is delightful.
" Girls Wanted," which played
for many ' months on Broadway,
has been made into a fine screen
entertainment by Alfred Green. It
is the story of two sisters, Marian
na. played by Miss Gaynor, and
Sarah, played ty Marie Mosquinl.
Sarah is Incapacitated by a broken
arm and Marlanna seeks in vain
for a job. : All else falling, she ex
changee some of her clothes for a
boy's In a second-hand store and
tries to get a' job as an errand boy.
It is during a fight with another
boy that she meets Dexter Wright,
played by Glenn Tryon, through
whose efforts she lands a job
which: leads lo the" unfolding of a
very happy romance between her
and her rescuer. ; : j . t i

line purchased In 1923, they are
due for a long drawn-out session
with very small prospects of put
ting it over. This is the senti
ment as gathered from ev discus
sion with both county -and state
officiate. ;
Last year both the state and
county received tneir gas zor a
flat price of 18 cents. .This year
the oil companies have made an
offer of a three-cent "reduction
from prevailing prices.- At the
present p'rice of gas the county
and state would, have to pay 20
cents a gallon. If the price of gas
went up the cost to the 'state and
county would go up accordingly.
County and state officials are
afraid' that the oil companies are
figuring on raising the price' and
for this reason would much prefer
to offer a differential in price
rather than a flat guarantee.
One official put it this way yes'
terday:
i "Even though there may be as
overproduction In oil the eampan
ies are not forced to dispose I
their product at cheaper prtees.
for the reason that the have im
mense storage tanks and can put

that they would not want te make
