HEPBURN’S BIG ROLE IN "ALICE ADAMS,” TARKINGTON’S STORY Striking characterizations high light “Alice Adams,” the Booth Tar kington story that won the Pulitzer Prize in 1922, now brought to the screen of the Oasts theatre this Fri day and Saturday. The drama concerns a girl's gal lant struggle to rise from the mire of poverty and social oblivion in a small Midwestern town, where weal th is the yardstick of success. The heroine of the story Is an appealing combination of fineness, pretense, romance and courage. Katharine Hepburn Is starred in this brilliant role, which parallels the appeal of her characterization in "Morning Glory." ♦ » ALONG THE CONCRETE • a $49994********** A turkey grower seeking informa tion at the board of directors meet ing the other night, asked Merrill Potter how much an hour relief workers were getting, and he replied ”1 don't know, I ain’t on it." The guillotine is being used in the good old U. 8. Turkeys received through the turkey pool In a Baker. Or., shipment showed evidency of going through that horrible experi ence of being beheaded. The strong hand of "no grade” and the voice of experience soon checked that practice. Mrs. Guy Amsberry and “Shorty" Cable came to no agreement as to who was suffering the moot from the cold Tuesday morning. The warfare is expected to be carried to the front as the winter season progresses. By the way! We wonder It the Legion Poet has contacted the War Department (Auxiliary) yet? They may get a pot luck dinner after all.
