Lew was rehearsing Miss Faye so that the song could be recorded that night. Alice interrupted the session at 4.30 to announce that she was going home, but would be back in a couple of hours.

War. Horrors Overlooked Newspapers contain long ac- counts of events in the early days of August, 1914. The headline "France and Russia mobilised be- fore us" is common.

The general tone of the articles is typified by a writer in the 12 Uhr Abendblatt, who describes the visit of the British Fleet to Kel in the summer of 1914 as the "last great piece of espionage," and the French army as "burning with revenge for 1870." The romantic side of Germany's mobilisation is everywhere stressed.

For an hour everyone sat and Istened. Then rehearsals were continued, on her own song, and everyone says it's going to a ter- rific hit number.

"HIDDEN GOLD"

At The Oriental

You've been waiting for a slash- bang, shoot-'em-up, rip-roaring Western of the good old days- with the greatest of all the cow- bunching stars high in the saddle!

Well, you're going to get it--and Tom Mix and Universal have done the job with a few thrills to boot.

The bullet-studded title is "Hid- den Gold" "and it's coming to the Oriental Theatre to-morrow and Thursday on a rip-tide of thun- dering hoots, thudding boxing gloves prison breaks, forest fres and two-gunned mixups.

Tony has as much to do with the activity as usual, and blonde Judith Barrie makes the most ro- mantically pictorial leading lady that red-blooded Mix has had in many a moon. Raymond Hatton, Eddle Gribbon, Donald Kirke and the fight-champ, Roy Moore, are

beautiful flirt whose motto is "love

habitual homewrecker,

'em and leave 'Em'. Through the ingenious manoeuverings of his neglected wife, the husband is, at the end, forced to eat the humble in the cast too-so don't Miss it, ple and become properly worship-" ful

"This Man Is Mine" is replete with witty dialogue and satirical humour, barbed suffilently, it is sald, to abash the most hardened and habitual philanderers Ralph' Bellamy, Constance Cummings, Sidney Blackmer. Kay Johnson, Charles Starrett, Vivian Tobin and Louis Mason John Cromwell directed.
