LEGION WILL MEET
ON FRIDAY NIGHT
“The Whole Town’s Talking.^
the .exciting Columbia comedyj
drama which, the cinema sages
say, affords Edward G. Robik4
son his greatest screen character
role to date, will open its 2-day
local engagement at the Orpheum
Theatre Monday, April 8th.
Based on a story by W. R.
Burnett, who also wrote the
famed Robinson film, "Little
Caesar,” "The Whole Town’s
Talking’’ was directed by John
Ford, whose recent pictures In
clude “The Lost Patrol,” “Judge
Priest” and “The World Moves
On.”
Robinson is cast In the thrill-
inspiring role of an inoffensive
little clerk who carouses through
a series of laugh-laden adven
tures when his startling resem
blance to an escaped desperado
is discovered. The new charac
terization marks Robinson’s first
attempt at screen comedy, hav
ing already firmly established
himself as sicreendom’s Public
Enemy No. 1.
Jean Arthur is featured oppos
ite Robinson as a flip young
stenographer whom the meek
clerk has adored for years. But
only when his name races across
the natlfiB’A .ffufir ^e.
able to summon up enough cony-
age to tell her of his love. Miss
Arthur appeared recently to
great advantage In ^‘Most Prec
ious Thing in Life” and “Whirl
pool.’’
■Wlillace Ford is the jovial,
wisecracking young reporter;
Arthur Byron shies away from
being prison wardens and presi
dents for a change to enact the
role of District Attorney: and
Etienne Girardot, who distin
guished himself as the religious
fanatic in the stage and screen
versions of “Twentieth Century,’’
appears as the nervous and ha
rassed head clerk whose main
interest In life is getting Robjp-
son to finish up a certain ac
count.
Other members of the large
and imposing cast include Arth
ur Hohl, Donald Meek, Ed Bro-
phy, John Wray, J. Farrell Mac
Donald and Ferdinand Munler.
‘"The Whole Town’s Talking’’
was adapted to the screen by Jo
Swerllng and Robert Rlskln, Co
lumbia’s ace scenarists. Among
Riskln’s recent hits have been
“Lady For A Day,” “It Happen
ed One Night" nnd “Broadway
Bill.”

SALESMAN BELIEVED
DROWNED; HUNT BODY
Rocky Mount, April 2.—Ef
forts of police, firemen, and
scores of volunteers to discover
the body of David Watkins, 38,
electrical appliance salesman,
who disappeared from a shad
boat in muddy Tar river about
midnight last night, had been
unavailing -here early tonight.
The net for shad fishing used
by Watkins and Raymond Dow
dy, who were in a small motor
boat when it capsized, was dis
covered this afternoon, but no
trace of the body or the boat
has been found. Dowdy managed
to swim ashore after the boat
crashed into a bridge pier in the
swirling river. In the darkness
he was unable to see any trace of
his companion, he said. Watkins
was hindered from swimming,
it is believed, by heavy clothing
and boots that he wore.
Kenbridge, Va.. April 2.—
Robah Crowell, of Winston-Sal

Makes Dirnner Of Fish That
Came Near Killing Him
San Jose, Calif., April 2.—
Frank Coltrln attacked a devil
fish with gusto and a knife and
fork at a family dinner here to
night. He explained the fish at
tacked him first, and but for the
plucky assistance of a compan
ion, he would not have attended
the dinner.
The creature’s tentacles, 10
feet long, curled about Coltrin’s
arras and legs as he was fishing
waist deep off the rocky shore of
Half Moon bay.
Coltrin’s cries wei-e heard by
his fishing companion, Harry
Simmons, who was 100 yards
down the beach.
By the time Simmons rushed
to the rescue and attacked the
octupus with a 12-inch knife
Coltrln had been dragged into
water up to his neck.
It was necessary to plunge the
knife between the eyes of the at
tacker 17 times before it let go,
leaving Coltrin covered with
bruises and welts raised by suck
ers on the snaky arms.
