RUFE DAVIS, YACHT
CLUB BOYS APPEAR
The meccs of every "big name'
band In the country, the Los Angeles
Ambassador hotel's world-famed Co
eoanut Grove, forms the background
for the new fllmuslcal, "Ooconut
Grove." starring Fred MacMurray and

Included In the supporting cast
are Harriet HlUlard, Ben Blue. Rufe
Davis, Billy Lee, the Yacht Club
Boys, Dorthy Howe, Bxe Ardeq and

A story that might have been
taken from the lives of MacMurray
and Miss HUllard, who rose to fame
Tla the orchestra pit and bandstand,
makes "Cocoanut Grove" an Ideal
vehicle for the two stars. MacMurray
Is the leader of a crew of slap-happy
musicians, hungry for fame, hungry
for love, but most of the time Just
plain hungry, on a barnstorming
tour of the country to the world
famed Coacoanut Grove, long the
"springboard of the stars," and covet
ed spot for all aspiring young band
leaders.
Miss HlUlard Joins the band en
route and becomes their vocalist, just
as she did with Ozzle Nelson's group
and, Just aa she became OeeIs's
wife, so she also finally wins the
heart of genial Fred before the final
closeout.
Rufe Davis, the hillbilly comic, Is
another who Joins the band In the
role of a Kansas rube who Is stage-
struck bad enough to take his
chances with any fair possibility of
gaining recognition of his talents.
Billy Lee, the youngster, becomes the
mascot of the band and It Is through,
htm that the boys get their olg break.
Critics everywhere have given the
boy much attention for his fine work
In the picture.

numbers by Harry Owens who wrote
"Sweet Lellanl." They are "Cocoa
nut Grove" and "Dreamy Hawaiian
Moon." Other new songs Include
"Says My Heart" and "You Leave
Me Breathless."
WITHOUT ASKING
WALLA WALLA, Wash., July 0
(AP) Walla Walla was In something
of a furor yesterday upon receipt of
telegrams from Senator L. B. Schwel
lenbach and Representative Knute
H1U disclosing a 831,500 PWA grant
for an assembly hall.
Reason for the consternation no
body had asked for an assembly hall.
City Commissioner 0. W. Martin
made a guess. He recalled vaguely
that some time ago a PWA official
visited Walla Walla from Portland to
ascertain how much the city might
profitably spend on public Improve
ments. Two projects were discussed.
One was the remodeling of the city
hall, the second a public auditorium.
But no application for funds had
been made for either.
Trend For Lighter
Oils in Cars Says
PennzoiVs Chemist
tn modern motor cars, the trend
Is definitely toward tighter oils, ac
cording to a statement recently Issued
by O. 8. Cavanaugh. chief chemist
for The Pennzoll company of Califor
nia. Referring to & statement which
appeared In a prominent trade mag
azine "The sensible thing to do, ei
ther In new cars or reconditioned old
ones. Is always to use the lightest oil
that doesn't give excessive oil con
sumption." Cavanaugh stated that
sn oil must be light enough to pene
trate the closely fitted parts of pres
ent day cars yet tough enough to
withstand even greater operating tem
peratures and pressures without form
lng sludge.
Quoting another article which ap
peared in Motor Service Magazine,
Cavanaugh said, "The wrong kind of
engine oil wlll'put as much weer on
piston rings, etc., In 10.000 miles as
you would get In 25.000 to 80,000
miles with the right kind." He stated
that over a period of time engineers
nave found that bearings do not burn
out because of too light viscosity oil.
They burn because of too heavy oil
or because of an insufficient oil sup
ply, which Is the result when the oil
Is too heavy in viscosity, and can
not be forced into oil lines fase
enough to cool the bearings proper
ly. The Pennzoll company, according
to Cavanaugh, has tested Its lightest
weigh motor oil In various cart un
der the most difficult of operating
conditions. In one instance, he said.
SAB 10 Pennzoll was used in a 1937
Pont lac which underwent a 5,000 mile
teet in Death Valley at the height
of summer. Although the car was op
erated night and day In temperatures
as high as 134 degrees farenhelt, oil
consumption for the entire 5.000 mile
run was only two quarts, four ounces.
Post-run statistics, it was stated,
showed that the Pontlac't water tem
perature averaged 190 degrees and
no water was added to the radiator
during the five days and nights of
the run. Oavanaugh pointed out, in
this Instance, the use of SAB 10
Pennzoll played an Important part la
keeping the water temperature down
to this comparatively low level be
cause of the oil's fster circulation
and correspondingly faster dissipation
of motor beat.
"Blockade" Coming Wednesday
f t' A-'-y. . c
"Blockade," the picture that has
taken the country by atorm with its
daring presentation of an idea that
has been tried to be kept secret,

theater for a four-day engagement.
Its cast headed by Henry Fonda and
Madeleine Carroll.
The dramatic situation of the pres
ent day the Spanish civil war forms
the background for the tempestuous
romance which Is told in "Blockade."
It Is the story of a man and a girl
drawn Into the conflict against their
will lovers who are at the same time
bitter enemies.
The supporting cast Includes such
favorites as Leo Carrllto, John Halll
day, Reginald Denny. Vladimir Soko
lolf. Katherlne DeMUIe and Robert
Warwick.
