Morgan, who abandoned the fluttery type of comedy lon.g iden tified with him in “The Shop A- round the Corner.’’ again plays a .straight, sympathetic, role, the comedy lying in the things others do to him. He's a henpecked hus band, an amateur playboy when [ he gets to New York, is entrusted j with a fortune, through it exposes the town banker and other crooks and, after devious and diverting adventures, emerges as the town’s most popular figure. William Thiele, who recently filmed “Bad Little .\ngel.’’ direct ed the new picture, with Billie Burke, Ann Rutherford, .John Shelton, Reginald Owen, Donald Meek, Nat Pendleton, Frank Al bertson and other well-known players in the cast. Comical episodes include the wide swath the innocent country storekeeper cuts in a siwank night club in New York when Ann Morris and Suzanne Kaaren corivinoe him champagne l.‘-r a new form of sweet cider, with disas trous results. A romantic love story and poignant human inter est episodes intcriard the struc ture of comedy. The high point of the story is the “turning of the worm’’— when he gets up on his "h,.vd legs” and slaps back at fate and those who have bulldozed him. His b|rothers-in-law, who have had a field day, take this as bit ter medicine, but his wife is re vealed as a spouse who has al ways hoped he would prove his manhood despite her browbeating methods with him. The picture is based on a play by George Kaiser. Annual Sale On At Carlton’s Hardware WANTfT) miNTEI): 5(H> cortl^ of slabs by the c>rd or in the pile.

(Editor’s note: Dr. John Fin ley was a cousin of the members of the Finley family in North Wilkesboro. He visited his kins men here on October 21, 1931, and a banquet was given in his honor at Hotel Wllkee. Speaking at the (banquet. Dr. Finley highly praised this sectioii of North Car- olitia.l ’’ New York.—Dr. John H. Fin ley, 76, editor emwltns of the New York 'Times, educator and di rector of the hall of fame of New York Uaiveralty,' died In his sleep early Thursday at his home In Oraimercy Park. His health had deteriorated in the past two years and recently he underwent an operation for hernia. He returned to his home three weeks ago and apparently recovered', for he ■visited his office at The 'ITmes Wednesday and seemed to be in high spirits. Dr. Finley, born at Grand Ridge, 111., was a former New York state commissioner of edu cation, and at one time was pres ident of Knox College at Gales burg. 111., and of the College of the City of Neiw York. He found a liking for newspa per work when he was getting type in a Galesburg newspaper plant to earn money to help him through Knox. He entered Johns Hopkins in 1887 to study history, politics and economics, and in 1891 was elected president of Knox, serving the college for seven years while continuing his work as editor of the “Charities Review.” a maga zine he had founded for the State Charities Aid Association in New York. In 1899 he was editor of Harp er’s Weekly tor a short time, and then he went to Princeton to teach politics, remaining there until his appointment in 1903 as president of City College. He resigned in 1913, when he was unanimously elected by the New York state board of regents to the commisslonershlp ol edu cation. He lectured at the Sorbonne, Paris, in 1910 and 1911, at the University of North Carolina in 1922; at the University of Vir ginia. 1924; the University ol Ed inburgh, 1929; and the Pacific School of Religion, 1931. v He was in France in 1917 on a special mission to the univer- siiies and schools of that country when the United States entered the World War. H'3 became 'head of the Red Cross commission to Palestine and the Near East, where he worked in 1918 and 1919. His love of walking carried him all over the Holy Land on trails de scribed in Biblical passages. Thirteen foreign governments honored him with decorations, and numerous colleges awarded him honorary degrees. Dr. Finley’s death caused can cellation of a dinner at which the Ulster Irish Scclety was to have presented him with its annual medal "for notable service to the nation.’’ Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a. m.
