- I Norma Shearer Wins Fresh Honors In "A Free Soul" Star Gives Compelling Perfor mance in Sfcjttfnt Adnpfatlon of AdeU Rogers St John1 Novel of Woman Torn Between Two || * I**"*- * - - An engrossing story, b acting, expert directing and ultra lavish settings contrive to make Norma Shearer's new screen dra ma, ?A- Pro* Soul," at the Palace Theatre, Monday and Tuesday,! July 30-21, one of the outstanding pictures of the year. Miss Shearer, who Seems to be tuning out one success after an other, never looked more stunning or acted more convincingly than in t.Mit dramatic and fast-moving story of a modem girl who has been brought up by a brilliant but constantly intoxicated father whose theories on freedom estrange her from those she .loved and even tually makes her the central figure of a spectacular murder case. Fascinating Plot When the father finds his daugh ter in the arms of a notorious gam bler he realizes that freedom may be all right in theory but not in pratice. Torn between love for her father and the gambler, the girl attempts to make a compro mise by consenting to give up her lover if her father will renounce the drinking which is bringing him lower and lower in the esteem of # Others. When he fails the disillu sioned heroine decides to abandon herself to the gambler but fate decrees otherwise. Lionel Barrymjre is a dominant figure as the lawyer father who bares his own past in court to save the happiness of the girl whom In his love he has so terribly wronged. Excellent performances are also offered by Leslie Howard as a mll lionare sportsman 4n love with Miss Shearer, and by Clarke Gable, who as the gambler eclipse his previous work in "Dance, Pools, Dance" and "The- Secret Six." James Gleason and Lucy Beau mont do well by smaller roles. But chief honors must go to Miss Shearer, who combines an un usual beauty with a magnificent acting ability and a power to make the most of every dramatic oppor tunity. In her new vehicle she proves herself to be even more fascinating than in her two earlier riUiaat successes, The Divorcee" and "Strangers May Kiss" The direction of Clarence Brown as usual combines an artistic stan dard with a deft presentation of dramatics values. Chevrolet Produced 84,597 Cars In June Production of Chevrolet cars and trucks In June totaled 84,597 units as against 78,473 In the same month of 1830, W. 8. Knudsen, pres ident and general manager an nounced today. " on.,, __ Six months of the year 522,232 units. Production during June compares with 113,652 cars and trucks built i In May, 'which was the highest month's output since July, 1929. The decline In production from May toj June* this year .however, was 6,000 1 units less than during the corres- 1 ponding period last year, indicat- j lng a seasonal decline rather than | the abrupt drop experienced last ' June, when the Slump in general business first was felt by Chevrolet. Of the volume during -the, month I just ended, 78,734 units were' built for the domestic market as against j 70,160 a year ago, a fact which Mr. j Knudsen interprets as further evi dence of Improvement in the United ] States in retail buying over a year! ago, at least as far as Chevrolet IS concerned. J The margin of difference by' which production in 1930 exceeded j that of 1931 has gradually narrow- ' ed month by month this year, and i with the output curve intersecting last year's during the May-June : period, sales in June and every re maining month this year are ex- 1 pec ted to exceed the corresponding j months of last year, Mr. Knudsen j stated.

Johnston Advertising Kxf?utlve, Niw York Almost every article, speech and even conversation sooner or later seems to get around to some such expression as "When things get back to normal, such and such should happen." What is this thing called "nor mal?" And how do we know when it existed and when we may ex pect to reach it again? "v .. Average, yes, we can figure aver ages over the five years "24 to "29, or any other arbitrary period, or we can take "pre-wars" as a basis for discussion ? but what good does that do now? And what harm? Would it be sane to call '28 or *29 normal? Manifestly not. Or "30, -31? God forbid! Well, U these are abnormal or subnormal, what license is there to take any period of years and call them by this meaningless name of normal? Isn't it Just barely possible that every year, every period, yes, every month is normal for that particular time and condition of the public mind? From *23 to *29 the normal state of mind of Americans and most of : the world was to believe that to i morrow would be better than today, , and consequently to discount the ! future ? to plan new things to do ? | new enterprises ? greater expansion ?wider markets.

Hasn't man power to be absorbed back into existing industries? So why not think of the present situation as normal? Why not stir the public mind to ambitious . projects within existing industries? Why shouldn't more men find the courage to go into business for themselves, promote for all they're worth, take men in with them? Have men stopped thinking about what they'd like to do?
