HALL " Yesterday, during the weekly meet ing of the Rotary club at the Osburn little Miss I'tley, child evangelist ad dressed about 40 of its members; Last evening It' was announced by the speaker that a healing service would be held, perhaps some night tbls week. Laat. evening she liegan lier "Ser vices by saying that she had told the Lord that she wouldn t 'preach-that He would have to -do' 'the preaching and after reading a portion of scrip ture from Zacharlas. gave a very log ical explanation for the reason w2iy man doea not comprehend the word of Ood. She made a point that the natural man could not understand It, for the reason that it waa spiritually discerned. ' I' J "Too many,", she said, "have the Spirit with them, but aot In them." This youthful evangelist seemingly has a large grasp of the sociological conditions of the world today and contrasts them aa Identical with con ditions that obtained during the time of the flood, and when Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed.

Travis, Inc., Wins Two Suits 'Unknown Purple' at Heilig Last Time In Today's Showing One of the most difficult' things to do in film' production la tbe visualisa tion of a mystery theme in which the suspense is evenly sustained to the end without bewildering or so mysti fying an audience so that all interest in the unfolding of the story ia lost In the endeavor to keep too- many events in mind at the same time. This difficult feat was remorkably ach ieved by director Roland West in the mcturiiation of hia own sensational stage play "The Unknown Purple" which is playing at tie Heilig the last times today. ' !" - Telling his story with a conciseness and clearness which at all times holds ths spectators' sttention ,it has been so skillfully woven that no sequence is ever anticipated 'by that which haa gone before.
