Beery's enthusiasm for his part,
however, is equalled by terror
with which winsome Sae Carol de
picts Ue role of Beery's daughter,
Felice Duehene. 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. As a
eonceeion to the social theme,
however, the opening sequence
presents a glimpse of society life
in the gay Northwest city of Van

'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."
Their virtuoso interval ia

HI PICTURE
That "Touchdown!" will take
the audience from their usual
grandstand seat to the players
bench and the dressing room is
the opinion of Francis Wallace,
author of "Stadium," from which
Paramount has adapted the pio-
ture, which begins Friday at War
ner Bros. 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."
