8:00 o'clock about 50 young people
gathered for a “Kid” party. Every
body dressed like "Kids” and acted
like kids and kidded every one intr
thinking they were sure enough kidf
and in fact there were some kids in
the bunch.
The basement
was

Autumn fashion which lent a great
deal to the spirit of the occasion. A
prize was given to Mis« Eldorah

Once more has Benjamin B. Hamp­
ton demonstrated that as a producer
of "best sellers” in pictures he stands
without a rival. Zane Grey’s "Des­
ert Gold,” most powerful of the fam­
ous American novelist's productions,
coming on the heels of Mr. Hamp­
ton's tremendously successful Great
Authors achievement, Stewart .Ed­
ward White’s "The Westerners.” has
won him a place in cinema produc­
tion occupied by few American pro­
ducers of genuinely big pictures.
In association with ElLage F. War*
nri, a new and welcomed addition
he ranks of powerful producing
factors, and Zane Grey himself, Mr.
Hampton in "Desert Gold” has given
to thè silver sheet what two million
Zane Grey readers will proclaim, as
did the author himself, is a living,
breathing reproduction of the gieat-
est of Zane Grey’s btories.
Distinguished players, all unap-
pioathable artists in the roles they
were called upon to portray, lend ad­
ded distinction to "Desert Gold,” E.
K. Lincoln, star of many successful
pi eductions, heading a cant compris­
