DAMAGED LIVES

Devotees of the motion picture will find something different film entertainment at the Alham- tra Theatre, with "Damaged Lives" which is showing to-day, It is a Weldon Production, which is sponsored by the American Social Hygiene Association.

Here is a picture which is not only a dramatic portrayal of in- tense interest, but it also conveys a definite lesson to both adults and adolescents of the danger lurking for the thoughtless in the so-called "social diseases."

It tells in gripping fashion of a young boy who, just pator to his marriage, foolishly, and almost ingulled into a fleeting affair with a woman he takes home from a gay party. When she later dis- covers that she has, unknown to herself, been infected with disease, she fears for the boy's health and warns him, and then, in despair commits suicide.

Now married, the boy is horrified to learn from his physician that he also has contracted the disease and transmitted it to his wife, and that it may imperil the health of, the baby that is soon to be born. The working out of their salvation by their doctor is at one and the same time, excellent screen enter- tainment, and a definite message. cf hope to those already victims of this malady, or others who might Iater contract it. -

BIG BROADCAST OF 1937 Jack Benny, who heads the cast in The Big Broadcast of 1937" showing at the Oriental Theatre on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, plays the violin accompaniment to * bazooka solo played by Bob Burns, who invented the instru~ ment.
