CHICAGO — An American home •
burns every four minutes. Nearly •
7,000 persons, 70 per cent of all who
lost their Ilves by Ore In the United
States last year,
were killed tn
fires which de-
stroyed the homes
of the victims.
Half the persons
killed when their
homes burned
were children.
Disclosing these
facts, a bulletin
of the American
Research Foun-
dation, made
public here, con-
tinues:
“Increase of fire disasters In t^E
home can most effectively be checked,

“What do you mean, Johnnie?
Miss Jenny isn’t married. She
can’t have any children. I know
she has always wanted some, but
she wouldn’t adopt any, and now
she is so old and all—it’s ridicu-
lous, Johnnie; don’t talk such non-
sense.”
“That isn’t nonsense, mother. Of I
course, Mrs. Thimble didn’t say
she was going to give Miss Jenny
any children, but she did say she
was going to give her a lot of
presents and nice things, such as
a sweater, and a lot of things she
can’t afford for herself, so that
she will have at least one Merry
Christmas and one Happy New
Year in her life, and 1 just figured
out that that was the best kind
of twins an old woman like her
could possibly have.”—Harold Lr.

The unshatterable faith of true
love, even though its spoken vows
are broken, is the theme of "The
Dancers,” Fox Movietone version
of the great stage play, by Sir
Gerald Du Maurier andWiola Tree,
directed by Chandler Sprague
Holmes, which will show at the
Millstone Theatre, Nocona, Wed-
nesday, December 31st.
Lois Moran gives one of the best
performances of her career in the
role of a dance-crazed modern who
all but lost the man she loved
before she realized that “all who
dance must play the fiddler.”

New Radio Comedy
Is Brilliant Spectacle
"Half Shot at Sunrise” is a hilar-
ious comedy that will make you
shed tears of laughter. This is the
funniest picture ever. To be shown
at the Millstone Theatre Wednes-
day night. 10 p.m. and Thursday
January 1st.
Whoever said that the “talkies”
would do away with screen specta-
cles and bring about cheaper pro-
ductions with less elaborate set-
tings, guessed wrong.
When Radio Pictures produced
“Half Shot at Sunrise,” a rollick-
ing wartime comedy, economy was
practiced only in the judicious ex-
penditure of huge sums of money.
All Hollywood is still talking of
the big parade, when the studio
moved to the RKO ranch to start
production.
An idea of the magnitude of this
film is seen in this event. The
procession took up several miles of
highway. First came a string of
thirty automobiles, carrying the
cast headed by Bert Wheeler and
Robert Woolsey and technical staff.
Thirty huge motor buses follow-
ed, bearing 1600 extra people. Fol-
lowing these were a long proces-
sion of army trucks bearing sup-
plies and sufficient canvas to con-
struct a tent city large enough to
house the multitude.
One half of the world never
knows how the other half lives.
The Fox movietone production
“On Your Back,” which comes to
the Millstone Theatre Monday and
Tuesday, December 29, 30, well
illustrates that fact.
The story with the behind-the- (
scenes career of a fashionable /
Fifth Avenue modiste who built up
her |great business through the I
slogan, “Wear Your Brains on Your
Back."
She cajoles, entreats and flatters
her vain customers into buying
gowns which they cannot afford,
then introduces them to wealthy
men who frequent her establish-
ment. The result is that her shop
becomes the rendezvous of idle mil-
lionaires who gather there every
afternoon for tea with the “lilies
of the field.”
Guests Out of the Sky,
Mother Cary’s Christinas
OTHER” CARY wus the lit-
1’1 tie woman who lived nil
alone on the prairie raising bees.
This year the snow was deep nnd 1
She was Ineky to do
chores ahout the
place and it surely seemed she
would spend Christinas alone.
Cheerful soul that she was. she
decided to pretend she was going
to have a guest. At noon a good
dinner was ready, a cheerful fire
was burning In her fireplace when
suddenly she heard the whirr of
an airplane motor—then it missed,
sputtered and stopped. She ran to
the window in time to see a forced
landing almost at her very door.
The man, and woman in the
plane were safe and when they
came to the door, she knew them
at once from pictures In the pa-
pers. “It’s lucky for you to land
safely and lucky I was childish
enough to pretend. Come in, your
Christmas dinner's ready."
A grateful pair they were and
Mother Cary a happy little old
lady. She has never tired telling
the story of how she expected a
guest and two came out of the sky
—for Christmas. — Nonl Clack

“Dixialand,” the musical roman-'
tic drama at the Milltsone Theatre
Saturday, December 27th, starring
Bebe Daniels and Everett Marshall,
has been done largely in techni-
color to attain the brilliance of
color in the gorgeous Madi Gras
sequences of its period.
Set in New Orleans in 1840, and
filled with the turbulent passionate
life of the gay southern city,
"Dixieland,” make full use in cos-
tumes and settings of the brilliance
of that era. The atmosphere of
the times has been captured by
the use of technicolor, insuring
a faithful reproduction of such
celebrated New Orleans establish-
ments as Cayetano’s Circus Theater,
rendezvous of the social elect; the
fashionable bambling houses, the
gay streets and houses and boule-
vards in Mardi Gras season, as
well, as other Southern beauty
spots.
