Makes Statement
T 0 my friends who so loyally work
ed for and supported me in the
June Primary, I extend to you my
keart-felt appreciation. I shall ever
be grateful to the good people of
Rutherfofrd County for* the jhonor
they have conferred upon me in the
past and if elected to the office of
County Commissioner I will stata
now that I have no set plans or
I things in view other than to put
forth my very best efforts to give
the county an administration of econ
omy, so the various departments of
the county government may function
properly and make taxes as light as
pi ssible.
Of course it will take the unsel
fish cooperation of the board of com
missioners and the entire citizenship
of the county and I feel that with
this cooperation and the experience
end insight I have had in county af
fairs that we might accomplish some
thing in solving some of the many
perplexing questions that now cos
front us..

I "NO, NO, NANETTE,"
COMING TO ROMINA
I _______
j- - -
i The filming of motion pictures in
color reaches its greatest effective
ness in "No,No, Nanette," First Na
tional's lavish screen musical come
dy which the Romina Theatre has
booked to start Monday, according
to newspaper and magazine critics
wherever the picture has been shown.
I The colors it is said are a delight
to the eye and the scenes look as
natural as they would outside the
theatre. Players lose the "shadow"
:! effect of black and white photogra
phy and look as real as people seen
on the street. "No, No, Nanette,"
[in fact seems t 0 represent the per
fection of the Technicolor process.
Four of th e biggest scenes ever
n.ade for the screen have been filmed
in color for "No, No, Nanette,"
They are the Mars, New York, Hol
land and Japanese numbers. The
audience reaction to these dazzling
sequences, filmed on the largest
sound stage in the world, built at
j the First National Studio especially
.for this picture is described as start
ling and lasting. Each of these
j scenes cost more money than the en
tire original stage production, on
.which the screen version is based.
Clarence Badger, director of
''Nanette," was in his youth an in
ventor of a color printing process.
Multi-colored printing is fundamen
tally the same process used in multi
colored filming. Badger was not
content merely to direct "No, No,
Nanette"; he followed his picture
