"Too Busy To Work."

Because he was not required to wear evening clothes, high hats, powdered wigs, or other trapping in the production of "Too Busy To Work", Will Rogers enjoyed making it. It is the attraction at the King's Theatre next Sunday.

Rogera dislikes to "dress up" and in his daily life wears the most ordinary clothes. A pair of well worn trousers, a mole-skin Jumper and a white shirt minus necktie, constitute his mont frequently worn outfit. Ho does not own

a dress suit and. nt public functions, hia attiro is invariably a blue serge business suit.

In "Too Busy To Work", he appears as a vagabond wanderer and wears Costume that fits both the role and his personality.

Too Busy To Work" is based on a story by Ben Ames Williams and deals with the adventures of a penniless, happy-go-lucky tramp who either walks, or dies the brake beams of freight cars, from place to place in search of his daughter who disappear- ed while he was fighting at the front.

The child, now a young woman, nc-. companies her mother when she runs away with a man in more affluent clr- cumstances. The mother dica and the girl becomes the head of her fostor father's household and falls in love with his son.

There is pathos in many of the situations in the picture, but Rogers is said to have ample opportunity for introducing the brand of comedy for which he is famous. Marian Nixon shares the love interest with Dick Powell, a recent discovery whose only previous pleture role was in "Blessed Event".

"The Hall Naked Truth"

Jackle, 180 pounds of five-year-old lion, was the most respected actor during the production of "The Half Naked Truth" showing at the Central Theatre to-day only, Lee Tracy, Lupo Velez, Eugene Palette, Frank Morgan and Shirley Chambers way actually have been enacting, tho featured rales, but Jackle held the respect of the troups with his giant claws and menacing teeth.

The lion, claimed by Trainer Melvin Koontz to be as gentle as a kitton, has worked in motion pictures since eub- hood. He was born ab Selig Zoo in Los Angeles, which specializes in producing and training motion pic ture animals.

"She Done Wim Wrong" Mae West has occupied a unique position ever since she first burst, sensationally, on the Broadway horl-
