THE GRAND SALINE SUN
At The Grand
8-Week Mustache
Has 3-Hour Life
J. Edward Bromberg disdains fa-
cial props for his roles in movies. He
spent eight weeks in growing a mus-
tache for a scene in “The Baroness
and the Butler” that took only a few
hours in the filming. It was the first
mustache he had ever grown and he
rushed home at the end of the se-
quence to shave it off.
William Powell and Annnbella co-
star in the 20th Century-Fox film,
Sunday and Monday at the Grand
Theatre.
HERE FROM INDIANA

Fradel, both of Corydon, Indiana,
visited in Grand Saline the first of

Coming Next Week
Robert Taylor comes to the Grand
Wednesday and Thursday of next
week in “A Yank at Oxford,” the
widely-heralded pitcure made against
authentic back-grounds in England
with an American-British cast which
includes such well-known American
screen figures as Lionel Barrymore
and Maureen O’Sullivan, and such
British favorites as Vivien Leigh,
Edmund Gwenn and Griffith Jones.
Taylor plays the star athlete of a
small American college who is award-
ad a scholarship to Oxford where he
promptly falls in love with Miss O’-
Sullivan but incurs the enmity of her
orother, a rival under-graduate. His
humiliations, comedy experiences, de-
feats and triumphs afford the story
a wide variety of romantic and dra-
matic phases which culminate in a
thrilling crew race between Oxford
and Cambridge.
The picture was directed by Jack
Conway of “Tale of Two Cities”
fame.
Cast in Dual Roles, They
Had to Watch P’s and Q’s
Actors in the Alpine comedy, “Para-
dise for Three”, showing Friday at the
Grand Theatre, had a difficult time
remembering their screen names.
First, Frank Morgan was given a dual
role, and then Reginald Owen.
Owen is seen as "Johann,’ the but-
ler, and also as “J. Kesselhut,” man-
ager of the Baltic Steamship Lines,
while Morgan portrays “Rudolph
Tobler,” capitalist, and “Edward
Schultze,” pauper.
The story revolves around three
men who go to the Alps and complete-
ly change their identiy so as to dis-
cover how the other half lives.
Quinn Now Seen As
Gangster’s Henchman
The sun never sets on Anthony
Quinn
The handsome young actor has,
during his brief career, played as
many different nationalities as any
man in Hollywood and now returns to
the screen as a racetoer’s henchman in
“Dangerous to Know,” the drama of
the fall of a political boss, which
shows Saturday night at the Grand
Theatre. Gail Patrick, Akim Tamiroff
and Anna May Wong play starring
roles. •;»
Quinn, himself an unusual mixture
of nationalities by virtue of his Aztec
princess mother and Irish soldier-of-
fortune father, played a Cheyenne
Indian in “The Plainsman,” a Spani-
ard in “Swing High, Swing Low,” a
Hawaiian in “Waikiki Wedding” and
a Creole pirate in Cecil B. DeMille’s
“The Buccaneer.”
uPartners of Plains” Is
Romance of Old Arizona
If it is true the West casts a
strange spell on visitors, it is equally
true that no two people are affected
exactly the same way. In “Partners
of the Plains,” which shows Saturday
L afternoon at the Grand Theatre, Gwen
Taze, a Londoner, comes to the L-D
RRsineh full of scorn for everything a-
•J5t it and stays to fall in love with
William Boyd, while her Eastern
fiance. John Warburton, becomes
Boyd’s enters into a plot to kill ihm.
Boyd is seen once again as that
hard-riding, square-shooting Cowboy,
“Hopalong Cassidy,” in a Clarence E.
Mulford story of old Arizona in its
most lawless and untamed aspects.

I Certainly Do Enjoy My
New All-Electric Kitchen
For a Few
Cents a Day
I Relieve lTon
of Kitchen
Drudgery
Says Reddy Kilowatt,
Your Electric Servant
When you let nte do your
kitchen work, you have plenty
of time for pleasure and recrea-
tion. I can do your work easier
and quicker than you can, and
do a good job, too. 1 do all this
work for only a few pennies a
day. My labor is cheap, because
electricity is cheap. The more
electricity you use. the cheaper
it gets.
“Keeping house is a' genuine pleasure for me since I got
my all-electric kitchen. I cook my meals automatically.
I simply |iut an entire meal in my electric range, set the
timer and forget it. When it is meal time my dinner is all
ready to serve. The thing I used to dread most was washing
dishes, hut now I don't have to do that. 1 set them into my
electric dishwasher and in a few minutes they are shining
and clean. I don't even have to dry them. My food is always
safely preserved in my electric refrigerator and my electric
water heater keeps an ample supply of hot water on lap all
the time. All this convenience costs me hut a few cents a
day. I don't know how 1 ever got along without my electric
kitchen.*’
The convenience of an all-eleetrir kitchen is onlv a small
part of the value of cheap, dependable electricity to you
housewives. Electricity cleans your rugs, runs your sewing
machine, washes, and irons your clothes . . . and in the
evening when you want to relax and read, it gives you good
light and brings you fine radio programs. All these benefits
that electricity gi\es you cost you lillle . .. only a few pennies
a day. Electricity is clean, safe, dependable and cheap.
Your electric service is the cheapest item in your house-
hold budget. Nowhere else do you get so much in return for
the small amount of money you spend. A nickel's worth of
electricity does your entire week's washing; plays your radio
every evening for a week, or lights your living room all eve-
ning. Electricity is cheap. The more you use, the cheaper
it gets.
