County Relief Office WANTS THE BUTTONS Button, button, who's got the the old .parlor game? The county relief office Is reviving it in a big way. It is putting on a button drive; or rather the men in the adminis trative division are. The buttons are needed for SERA projects now under way. There are Bewing projects, there are women working at repair of donated garments. And the con stant cry is for buttons, buttons. Of course buttons may be bought, but they cost money; so the men in the control office have figured out a button-contest. They know that' every house has its can of old buttons. Thrift habits have accumulated these buttons over a generation; and now the chance is offered to put thent to good use. Buttons of all kinds and sizes and shapes are desired. If they are old, the. repair ditision may have garment as old aa th6 bnt- tons and which need those but- . - i ji, s THE MOST p GLORIOUS BIUSICAL ROMANCE OF.

The men in. the relief office, who no doubt could sew on a but ton themselves without too many punctures of the skin, have a plan for bringing in the buttons.' It is a contest. Every one who brings in a contribution of but tons will be privileged to make a guess on the total number re ceived in the drive. Prises will be awarded those guessing . the nearest the actual number. In Salem a window hag been obtained at' the Marion county housing headquarters in the Bligh building, corner High and State.

It will show until Wednesday. Grace Moore is the star, supported by Tullio Carmlnati and Lyle Tal bot. Music and romance combine to make "One Night of Love" one of the finest pictures of the year. It has received plaudits from all the critics whereyer shown. - Her beauty fanned the flames of Jealousy in the hearts of two men who loved her! One tried to win the love which she gave bo freely to another and their three lives were almost ruined by the spectre of suspicion! This dramatic theme receives a poignant treatment in Columbia's "Jealousy," which opens Wednes day at the Grand theatre with Nancy .Carroll, George Murphy and Donald Cook in the principal roles. 1 UK' CAPITOL A man who kills another In de fense of a woman serves a sen tence for manslaughter and when on parole vows he is through with women forever, is the cen tral male character in Dashelll Hammett's gripping drama, "Wo man in the Dark," today's attrac tion at the Capitol theare. John Bradley is the man who claims women "spell nothing but trouble." Barely out of Jail, he faces a situation almost identical with that which sent him there. A woman one whom he has nev er seen before, a woman out of the dark appeals to his chival ry to protect her. The author of "The Thin Man" once more develops a highly dram atic situation for all it is worth. Ralph Bellamy has the role of Bradley, and Fay Wray is beau tiful and moving as the girl who throws herself upon his generos ity. Melvyn Douglas is his us ual suave self as the man who forces Bradley's hand. Roscoe Ates stutters his way through the part of Bradley's comic pal.

"Of Human Bondage" poign antly dramatizes worthy Philip Carey's great love for unworthv, selfish Mildred. Philip is deeply in love with- this -promiscuous chit. He seeks for release through an affair with the intel lectual Nora and then finally with compassionate Sally. His firm at tachment to Mildred causes Nora to desert him in despair, but Sal ly's love proves to be his salva tion. The romantic action gains mo mentum as it rolls majestically to an absorbing climax. Leslie Howard's dramatic pow er and sympathetic interpretation excels anything he has done bo fore. Betto Davis comes througn with her greatest performance a Mildred. In other prominent roles, Frances Dee is Sally and Kay Johnson portrays Nora with conspicuous aptitude HES33 AXD 2ND FEATCRE "End of the Trail" Continuous Today 2 to 11 p.m. I 'imwm Ml f unfit -4
