Miss Carol's role will, no doubt, excel the presen tations which she gave in her earlier successes, such as "Dead line", "She's My Weakness", "Amos and Andy" and "Soft Cushions". "In Line of Duty" is a stirring drama of the Great Northwest, a picture that affords a welcome and exceedingly entertaining re lief from the uinal run of society plays and gangster films.

'Monkey Business" Brings Marx Brothers to Elsinore Today; Chico Chico Marx is a pianist who be came s comedian as a sideline and found hi3 humor more profitable than his music. His start ia the entertainment world as a piano player in a New York neighborhood TaudeTille house more than 20 years ago was recalled recently by Chico at the Paramount studios where the Four Marx Brothers were film ing "Monkey Business". "I was getting $ a week." Chico said.- "One night the man ager told me I looked husky and offered to increase my wages to 96 a week if I would wrestle one of the performers as an added attraction at each show. I ac cepted. "Later, he wanted to work me in as a monologlst. So I bargained with him and, by throwing in a dining room and tables were tast ily decorated with corn husks, ap ples, leares, pumpkins and nuts. The county steam shorel and caterpillar Wednesday finished digging out the channel in the Molalla river a half mile above the steel bridge at the Seirer Ramsey place. This will prevent the water overflowing the banks m nigh water stage. Last year the steel bridge and homes and properties were threatened and some damaged, due to the water backing up and overflowing at this point, when the state was suf fering from high water and floods. Thirty feet ef road was dyna mited at the John Sheperd place to let the water and debris off. It is hoped to have the shovel do a similar job a mile above the Dicker bridge in the near future as the approach on both ends of the culvert bridge at this point was washed out by the high water last year.

Although he has done stage and screen comedy ever since, Chico has never allowed his Piano work to drop. He has a solo in every stage show and scren pro duction and is considered one of the most skilled pianists in the country today. . And whenever Chico plays Ms piano, then you can be sure Harpo si going to follow on his harp. The silent (vocally) member of the quartet is' very bit as adept on the heavenly instrument as Chico is on the "horse's teeth."

Elsinore. "Mories hare made football something to be laughed at, says Wallace. "In Touchdown!' I hare attempted to corner some of the thrills and the serious touch ex perlenced la a real game. "This picture tells a real story. the story that every football player has kept from his parents. The hero is not the average movie hero who dashes across the line with the winning touchdown Just as the final gun goes off, but true boy who tastes both the glory of winding and the bitterness of defeat." Wallace also believes that this picture will open up a new field tor motion picture entertainment in that it depicts a real story in an athlelc background. "Gangster and sex pictures are passing. The public is casting about for something new. The sport-drama, as represented by 'Touchdown!' haa always been successful in books and is novel for screen purposes."
