TWIN CITY HAPPENINGS ON A SALEM EASTER 1 think it is a kindly thing, That in God’s Acre every spring The silent sleepers resting there, Of lovely earth are unaware. If they could feel each year anew The silken seep of rain and dew, fee new twigs clutching at the sun, And soft things winds lean down up on, They would, I think, know fiercer ache Than birth and death and parting make. For who but Christ could stand the pain Of learning earths sweet face again? —Marjorie Craig. The regular monthly meeting of the Womans Club was held on Monday af ternoon in the Domestic Science room of the High School.

In “Let's Go Native” The great Jack Oakie grin invasion which began for the delectation of millions of talkie goes .a year or so ago, continues its irrepressible spasms of laughter at the Peoples Theatre Monday and Tuesday in “Let’s Go Na tive.” This smiling dean of slang and wise clacks who began wowing audiences m “Close Harmony” and continued his veritable panic of mirth in “Hit The Deck,” “Sweetie,” “The Social Lion,” and others is a bigger and better riot in “Let’s Go Native” in which he is co-starred with Jeanette MacDonald, the princess of “The Love Parade,” and supported by Skeets Gallagher, Kay Francis, William Austin and Eugene Pallette. Oakie is seen as Voltaire McGinnis, the goofy but go-getting taxi cab driver who gets all mixed up with Miss MacDonald’s plan for her troupe if show girls who are making a trip to South America to put on a revue for a millionaire. When Oakie’s cab runs smack into a police station in New York he is bound to seek re luge on the ship. He gets a job as a stoker but later is promoted to a mess attendant. On the boat are William Austin, society ne’er-do-well, James Hall, disinheritad young blue blood in love with Jeanette MacDonald and the 75 girls of her show. The ship strikes a derelict and all the principals are stranded on a tro pical isle where Skeets Gallagher is king. There is an abundance of pearls and the island spurts oil every time v tent peg is driven, but it is all valueless to the castaways for they are beyond the pale of civilization. ^ There are ive songs in “Let’s Go Native.” Oakie sings three of them “Joe Jazz,” a solo with dancing chorus on the boat deck, “I’ve Got a Yen for You,” a duet with Kuy Fran cis on the tropical isle, and “Let’s Go ''ative” with a chorus and reprise by William Austin in the cocoanut grove. “Those Three French Girls” Story of Ameri cans On Paris Spree Sheer farce of the kind which the silent picture did not tackle because of the lack of dialog, is more and more finding its way to the talking screen. As their contribution to this phase cf entertainment, Metro - Goldwyn Mayer will present “Those Three French Girls” at the Peoplse Theatre Wednesday and Thursday. The plot of this talkie farce is marked by its many opportunities for “g*gs” and laughs. Briefly, it con cerns the meeting in jail of Reginald Denny, a somewhat gay young Eng lishman; Cliff Edwards and Edward Brophy, Americans of imbibitory hab its, and three French modistes, Fifi Dorsay, Yola d’Avril and Sandra Ra vel, jailed becaues they threw flower pots at their landlord during an ar gument. How the sextette escape from jail | snd how they are received by George Groasmith, as the Earl of Ippleton, Denny’s uncle, provides the basis for laughs of the production, which is di rected by Harry Beaumont .of “Our Blushing Brides” and “The Floradora Girl” fame. It is particulray interesting because the dialog marks the first cinema work of the eminent humorist, P. G. Wodfthouse. In fact, the parts of tho Karl of Ippleton and Parker a butler a la the famous “Jeeves” of literary renown, are quite in the familliar Wodehouse genere. f • -- Friends of Miss Elmira Jenkins were delighted to hear of her splendid work in the recent News and Ob server campaign. The new Chevrolet is a lovely car and she is to be con gratulated on her success. Mrs. Wm. Medlin is visiting friends in Richmond this week. Mr .and Mrs. S. J. Bounds spent Tuesday in Richmond. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Peck of Greens boro were visitors in town this week. READERS COLUMN To The Editor: Dear Sir: — In your editorial in week before lasts issue of The Herald, you sug gested some regulations regarding school children crossing Roanoke Ave. at the noon hour and also in the morn ing. I thoroughly agree with you. There ought to be something done about this. Especially at the noon hour when all the children are in a hurry to get home to lunch and back to school on time. In the block between 9th and 10th streets just above the golf course they come across in hun dreds. There should be some kind of ar rangements to have them cross at the intersection of 9th street and have an officer there to direct the traffic, also at 11th street and 6th. I notice a lot of cars and trucks travel thru here at a high rate of speed at all times of the day, and when they come thru at the noon hour it is reckless and very dangerous and some child is going to get killed. There must be romething done about it. V. T. Lamm. UN O TYPES Dmitro Guly of Boston ate 81 green apples in half an hour and in spite of this was back at work as a ditch digger the nevt day.
