We believe in developing the spirit •of cooperation in Forest City. We are convinced that the real opportunities can be realized best Ujyough the teamwork of the ma jority of local citizens. But one fact we cannot escape. Most notable achievements are ac complished through the work of en thusiastic, active, and hard work ing minorities. A few determined men with vision can shape the de velopment of> & great business, or a community. f . The Federal Constitution which has given us the form of government we have wa>§ largely the product of the determined effort of a small group * f of men. of great vision and trexnend&us strength. OthGr great ac- and notable reforms in this country of ours have like wise «ome into eJriitence through the activity of ardent but compara tively small groups of men. If this holds true in a large scale then it applies to a community like Forest City as well. A small group of men of action who can also visu alize the future before our town might beV able to work wonders. We emphasize again the belief ex pressed at the opening of this article. W T e do need a more highly developed spirit of cooperation locally, but all too often the fact that the citizens of the community do not work to gether in a satisfactory way is a sort of excuse among potential lead ers for inactivity. Don't permit a condition you may not like stand in the way of work you might carry out with the aid of two or three others. A few determ ined active men can accomplish much even without the united support they feel they should receive. SCREEN TOPS STAGE DRAMA IN SPLENDOR The first great dramatic spectacle of the talking screen—Radio Pictures production of Florenz Zeigfield's fabulous operetta, 'Rio Rita'—comes to the Romina theatre next. week. With John Boles and Bebe Dan iels heading a gigantic cast of play ers, singers, dancers, beauties and specialty performers, "Rio Rita" takes its place among the great screen plays of all time. In its wealth of diversified entertainment it has doubtedless never been equalled. Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey />lay the comedy roles they created for Zeigfield; Dorothy Lee, the baby talk girl of "Syncopation"; Helei) Kaiser, one of, Zeigfield's "glorified" girls; Georges Renevant, French stage star, and Don Alvarado are others of the featured cast. Much of the film was photo graphed in technicolor and the sets and costumes are said to have outdone anything seen on the talk ing screen. Harry Tierney, composer of the original. tuneful score of "Rio Rita." added two new song hits to the picture. Gimini's grand opera chorus of 80 voices; the Pearl Eaton chorus of N)0 Hollywood beauties, the first stock chorus in motion pictures, and. a symphonic orches tra directed by Victor Baravelle are other features of the film, which was directed by Luther Reed.!
