There is much merit, we be lieve, in the propo.sal that one of our civic organizations, with the aid of the tovra of Southern Charlie Picquet likes to have his news shorts timely. We remember days when the evening show would start at 8:15, with comedy or car toon shorts, while we sat on pins and needles, awaiting an express train tj pull into the depot, bringing the lat est edition of the Fox Movietone News.
