Sordid details of the operation
of so-called “juke joints”, and the
part that these deadfalls play in
the demoralization of the youlh of
the country, are exposed in the
film, “Where Are Your Children?”
Monogram’s dramatic story of
child delinquency which comes to
the Liberty Theatre today and to
morrow, with Jackie Cooper in the
starring role.
Against the background of viol
ent jitterbugging and ■wiW music,
the even wilder youngsters of
teen age become the dupes of sha
dy night club operators. There is
the surreptitious supplying of il
legal liquor, the “spiking” of soft
drinks, the easy violation of con
ventions and the inevitably ca
reening joyride, 'with intoxication
at the wheel and tragedy lurking
at the roadside.
Juvenile probation officers are
on duty at the night clubs, but
the only solution of the question,
as the film ^wws, lies in^.the
home. Parental neglect, improp
er housing, uphappy conditions at
home—all are shown to have an
important bearing on the question
of juvenile delinquency, and liter
ally throw the younger generation
into the arms of those who are
willing to debauch them for »
profit.
In “Wncre Are Your Children?”
the joyride in a stolen car culmin
ates in a charge of murder, 'with
an innocent girl dra'wn into a sit
uation which threatens not only
her future happiness, but her very
liberty itself.

A Washington s Birthday Message
JUSl a year ago we paid richly-earned tribute to the
3400 Penney people who had gone oft to the war
1 oday. the number ol stars has grown to 5250. And
today, again at Washington's Birthday, we honor
"and salflte them ‘ "
From every Penney store in America, men have
gone to man the Army’s guns—to sail the Navy’s
ships—fly the Air Forces' planes Hundreds have
won citations for their accomplishments and medals
for bravery in combat-
lust as an example—one small store in the Pacific
Northwest has produced two outstanding heroes. I he
first has been awarded the Purple Heart, the Air
Medal and the D F. C, three times. The second has
also won the D F C., taking part in no fewer than
35 combat sorties
We are proud of these boys We are proud of all
our Penney associates in uniform We still think of
each and every one of them as, part of their Penney
stores—no matter where the call of duty has taken
them, or how long they may be away.
