V/ILL ROGERS’ LATEST ALSO
IS HIS FINEST
Described in advance accounts
from Hollywood as the finest to date
of Will Roger’s notable series of
American character portraits, the
Fox Film production, ‘‘The County
Chairman,” will be seen here at the
Roosevelt Theatre beginning Thurs
day.
“The County Chairman” is a
screen adaptation of the famous play
of the same title, by one of Ameri
ca’s foremost humorists, George Ade.
“The County Chairman,” it is
said, is a story of smiles and heart
tugs, rivalling the hugely successful
“Judge Priest” and “David Harum”
as a vehicle for Rogers. In the new
film he is seen as a wily, lovable
county boss, half-diplomat, half
rustic. He wins elections and ar
ranges love matches with equal skill
—and no one, not even his rivals,
can resist him.
A notable supporting cast includes
such players as Evelyn Venable,
Kent Taylor, Louise Dresser, Berton
Churchill, Mickey Rooney, Frank
Melton and Stepin Fetchit.
You mustn’t miss Will Rogers, the
inimitable, in “The County Chair
man.” You’ll love him more than
ever—and no one can say more than
that!
BAPTIST CIRCLE NO. 1
Circle No. One of the Baptist W.
M. S. met with Mrs. L. F. Elrod
Monday afternoon, February 18,
with seven members present. Mrs.
Rigdon, acting chairman for the
month, gave the devotional, using as
her theme, “Prayer The Golden
Chain,” answering the question,
“Why Should We Pray?” with a talk
on following outline: (a) We pray
because Jesus is our example, (b)
We pray because of our needs, (c)
We pray because of the personality
of the Father, (b) We pray because
of the character of Christ.
The day was long, the burden I had
borne
Seemed heavier than I could longer
bear.
And then it lifted —but I did not
know
Someone had knelt in prayer,
Had taken me to God that very hour,
And asked the easing of the load,
and He
In infinite compassion had stooped
down and taken i,t from me.
We can not tell how often as we
pray
For some bewildered one, hurt and
distressed,
The answer comes—but many times
Those hearts find sudden peace and
rest.
Someone had prayed, and faith, a
reaching hand
Took hold of God and brought Him
down that day. .
So many, many hearts have need of
prayer, Oh, let us pray!
The business meeting followed the
devotional. Minutes of January
meeting read and approved, and
missionai’y offering made.
Mrs. E. E. Martin was elected as
leader, to fill the vacancy made by
Mrs. S. A. Boland’s removal from
town. The circle deeply regrets
losing her as their leader, but pledge
the same love and co-operation to
their new leader.
Mrs. Rigdon announcted the ap
portionment for circle for the year is
eighteen dollars, and plans suggest
ed as to how best to raise the ap
portionment. It was agreed that the
circle pay into the general W. M. S.
treasure each month one dollar and
fifty cents.
Personal service report was made
to chairman, Mrs. Cox.
Announcement was made by mis
sion study chairman of our special
season of prayer for home mission
in March.
Mrs. John Hardy was welcomed
into the membership of the circle.
The mission study for the after
noon was on “Kagawa.” Following
this study, delicious refreshments
were served by the hostess, assisted

filrod, and her mother, Mrs. C. T.
Sr.
Those attending the meeting were
Mesdames Cox, Martin, Hardy, El

"GIGOLETTE," STORY OF NEW
YORK NIGHT CLUB
"Gigolette. an absorbing story,
written by a New York newspaper
r-nr. on*f ' Imed in the city of New
York, will he presented at the Roose
velt Theatre Monday.
Ihe film takes Kay Parish, debu
tante, and transforms her into a hos
tess at the Club Hee-Haw, and sub
sequently, a gigolette at the Casino
de Monaco where she entertains lone
ly guests. Her character changes
are punctuated by romances with
Terry Gallagher, the Hee-Haw’s
sporting proprietor, and Gregg Em
erson, a wealthy Park Avenue play
boy. The suspenseful three-corner
ed association is developed in a man
ner typical of Gotham life.
“Gigolette” is sot against back
erounas well known to the average
New Yorker. The cheap cabaret
where patrons are fleeced for more
than they can endure; the Casino de
Monaco, a typical rendezvous for the
elite who seek amusement after the
theatre; a boarding house with its
hall telephone and brightly papered
walls; a downtown hotel with loosely
plastered ceilings and untidy rooms;
a Fifth Avenue mansionette with its
decorative ironwork door; a suburban
estate whose broad expanse blends
into the tranquil Hudson river—all
are shown exactly as they exist in
New York today.
