The latest fun-spattered com- ,edy, "Life Begins At 40,” open ed today for a three-day run at the Orpheum Theatre as the fea ture attraction, and with its mirth-provoking situations prov ed once more than Will Rogers is the maestro of laughter. This is a funny-bone breaker. While writing this review, one has to hold back chuckles that come in recollecting the antics of this mellow life-loving country editor, played by Rogers, who sets out to prove that the best years of life follow forty. Rogers gives romance a clear track, turns hog-caller with sea soned hill-billys, tights a pistol duel and exchanges wit>.: for lead, produces a tornado af hil% a.rity, and incidentally utters a . batch of quaint and homely (view. philosophy. “Life Begins At 40,” is enter tainment for young and old. It’s healthy. It’s mellow. It’s just grand. And far tar better than were "Judge Prlsest,” and “The County Chairman.” Walter B. Pitkin’s book hit suggested this laugh hit. Sol M. Wurtzel produced, and George Marshall directed the Fox Film picture. Superb entertainment this! Stage and screen topnotchers support Rogers. They include Rochelle Hudson, Richard Crom well, George Barbler, Jane Dar- well. Slim Summerville, Sterling Holloway, Thomas Beck, Roger Imhof, Charles Sellon, John Bradford and Ruth Gillette. You’ll enjoy "Life Begins At 40.” It sends oT man gloom into permanent exile.-—From Fox Re- Early Expenditure Of Fund Proposed Raleigh, May 18.—North Caro lina’s share of $9,544,131 in the federal public works fund w’ill be expended as rapid'v as work can be brought to contract after regulations are received from the government as to how the mon ey most be spent.

Mrs. Leonard Michael and Miss Ruby Parsons with us this \ past year. Mr. Greene and Miss Parsons have been teachers here for two years, while Mrs. Michael and Miss Mc Neill have been here three and four years, respectively. The teachers have been very active in church work in the community. Mr. Greene has been the singing leader the eight monthiT he has been here, while the others are members of the Sunday school class. Their going away will be a great loss to the community, but thinking of the eight months of service they have rendered it can heartily be said, “Well done, our good and faithful servants, you deserve a rest.’’ Mr. Greene, unknowingly, was followed from church Sunday by a large number-of cars. While he was putting his automobile in the garage, about 150 surprise guests gathered on the lawn. A boun teous picnic dinner was served, after which the guests gathered in the living room. Beautiful music was played by Miss Ima Gene Greene and Mrs. Pearl Cook. We extend our sincere thanks to for the kindness she has shown hep neighbors. Mr. Greene bid his guests au revolr with tears of joy and sorrow in his eyes.—Toy Church. te l^ng^ -ia'- ' jm Five Dead, Seven Lost In Tornado And Floods In Texas And Oklahoma Altus, Okla^l May 16.—Five persQQS were known dead to night and at least seven missing in-a storm that wrought an esti mated million dollars’ damage in Texas and Oklahoma.
