THE "CUCKOOS"
WILD RIOT OF
FILM COMEDY
Lavish Production is Comedy
Treat of the Season.
A whirlwind of glorious nonsense
and riotous fun comes to the screen
of the Romina theatre Monday un
ier the title "The Cuckoos" and
will leave the audience convinced
they have seen one of the greatest
entertainments in months.
They certainaly have not seen any
thing remotely resembling this
lavish fun treat in another show,
for "The Cuckoos" is a fresh, new,
brilliant departure for the motion
pictures. It is not a revue; it is
not a musical comedy—in fact no
previously used classification could
fit this picture.
Perhaps the title "The Cuck
ocs" explains the mood of the pic
ture better than anything else. It j
is a show gone deliriously mad, I
with \the comedy not'e topping
■everything else.
Most Lavish Production.
True, "The Cuckoos' carries a
touching little romantic story; it
is lavishly dressed and beautifully
photographed, with a large part
in gorgeous Technicolor; it boasts
the greatest cast of able featured
players which has reached the
screen for some time; hundreds of
dancers, singers, musicians and
iras make it a ( production of ex . j
travaganza proportions; nine lilt
ing song hits are introduced.
But the comedy of Bert Wheeler
and Robert Woolsey, stars of the j
piece, runs riot throughout, the
whole show. Never befor6 has the (
screen presented a team of comics i (
like this one. They were featured
in "Rio Rita", to be, sure, but they 5
were kept under restraint in that - 1
musical. Here they are allowed *
to give everything—and how they 1
give it! (
Admirable Supporting Cast.
Wheeler and Woolsey are aided 1
to no small extent by little Dorc- 1
thy Lee, cutest of screen comedi
ennes, and Jobyna Howland, com- 
petent player from the Broadway 1
musical comedy stage. ;
The remainder of the cast is ad j
nirable. June Clyde and Hugh;
Trevor supply the love
Mitchell Lewis, one of the best ;
''heavies" in pictures today, is
more than effective. Marguerita
Padula, "Hallelujah" singer in (
"Hit the Deck", and Ivan Lebe- j
d-ff, suave and polished actor,!'
lend important characterizations.
"The Cuckoos" is the outstand
ing comedy treat of this, or any '
other year.
Spring is here cried the pedest- ;
rian as he sprang out of the seepd- «
ing auto's path. 1

Positions of Hands and Feet
PROPER driving posture is an important thing treqiiently left un
learned. Fatigue can be avoided by assuming a comfortable posi
tion. This is important and should receive due cor.sidera fron
the student driver. The position of the hands on the steeling *heel is
perhaps one of the things that rarely receives any particulai attention.
Good drivers declare that holding the
hands in a position similar to the
hands on a clock when it is twenty
minutes past ten is the most advan
tageous position in so far as comfort
and possible emergency necessity are
concerned.
The position of the feet is another
matter that deserves consideration.
Until a driver is sure he can find the
brake pedal quickly without looking,
his right foot should be in the imme
diate vicinity of the brake pedal
-while driving.
It is not good practice, however,
to keep the left foot on the clutch
pedal, as this causes slippage of the
clutch and premature and unneces
sary wear and tear.
In driving down steep hills, it is the
accepted practice to use second gear
and press the brake pedal only inter
mittently. Constant use of the brakes
on long steep hills frequently causes
them to burn out on many of the
popular priced cars. The use of sec
ond gear, however, acts as a brake
and precludes the necessity'of'con
stant pressure on the brake pedal.

PILOTS
♦>- ' "
Motorists who form these habits
while they are learning to drive will
continue them naturally as they be
come more expert. The result is
fewer repair bills, increased safety
and lefcs driving strain.
Before the advent of the all-steel,
full vision automobile of today, driv
ing was a strain on the nervous sys
tem. However, the modern automo
bile if properly driven can be as com
fortable and delightful for the driver
as it is for the rest of the passengers.
And sDeaking of nerves, you will
find that most racing drivers travel
from town to town at an even, steady
pace of between twenty-five and thir
ty-five miles an hour, which they can
maintain hour in and hour out, uphill
and down dale, in traffic and on open
highways. This produces greater
safety, "much less fatigue and nerve
strain, and, in the course of a day's
journey much greater mileage than
the habit most people have of driving
in fits and spurts, fifty miles at times
then slowing down to ten or twelve
when traffic forms an obstacle to
speed.
CHESTNUT HILLS
Chestnut Hills, June 10.—The de
velopment of this lovely summer re .
sort has been realized through the
enthusiasm and interest of the own-
er, Walter H. Haynes, of Cliffside.
Since last summer numerous changes
and additions have been made, en
hancing greatly the scenic and prop-
erty value of an already desirable
1( cation for a summer colony. Chest
rut Hills is situated in the Hickory
Nirt Gap, lying between Bat Cave
and Asheville, seven miles above Lak e
I Lure, and on one of the main high
! way arteries of the State, One is
charmed with the natural beauty of
its setting, and the attractions of a
rrew nine bole Niblick Golf course, a
i
j modern and complete swimming pool
with convenient bath houses, a plea
ant tea room, and "Betty", the young
bear, all add their appeal to the visi
tor to linger for a delightful vaca
tion or visit. The golf and pool at
tractions are under the capable su
pervision of Prof. C. A. De.nson
well known principal of the Cliffside
high school for the past few years.
Mrs. C. D. Hughes and Edwin Hughes
of Cliffside are giving efficient ser .
vice in the tea room and gift shop.
Homes on the Hill are persoanllv
owned by Grover Haines, of Florida,
Barron Caldwell, of Cliffside; Walter
Haynes of Cliffside; S. J. Asbury, of
Henrietta; Grover King, of Forest
, City; Mrs. Robt. Haynes of Avon-
Jdale; and there are a half dozen or
J more cottages for rental purposes.
{Mrs. Sarah Love, of Florida and
jdiffside, has rented a cottage and
| plans to build a home this summer.
| Mrs. J. Rush Shull, of Charlotte, has
rented th e Robt. Haynes home for
the season and a family from New
York State have been occupying an
other cottage for the past two weeks.
Reservations from Florida and other
points in North Carolina have also
been made for dates during the
summer. A large number of visitors
were here Sunday and quite a num
ber enjoyed the privileges of the
new golf course-; but the weather was
a little too cool even for pool en _
thusiasts and this pleasure has been
delayed until warmer days. Mr. Wal
ter Haynes is inviting the interested
friends_and public to enjoy the many
attractions of this resort and he
proves a genial host to everyone.
Golfing privilege twenty-five cents
and pool privilege fifty cents.
