MISTAKEN IDENTITIES
LEAD TO GAY MIX-UPS
A double case of mistaken
identity leads to amusing com-
plications and motivates much
of the hilarious action in "Maid's
Night Out", which shows at
the Texas Theatre tonay.
Joan Fontaine and Allan
Lane have the leading roles.
Miss Fontaine is seen as the
daughter of a fortune-hunting
society mother, while Lane por-
trays the role of a young scien-
tist interested in the study of
tropical fish.
Through a series of unusual
circumstances, the two meet
while the boy is fulfilling the
terms of a unique wager by-
working as a milkman in his
father's dairy. Although she is
engaged to a rich young man
of her mother's choice, the
young lady falls in love with
her milkman, never realizing
he is a scion of wealth, while
he in turn falls in love with
her. thinking she is a maid.

In the film. Miss Lombard and
MacMurray play the parts of
a struggling young lawyer and
his wife, constantly at sworcls'-
ends because of the conflict be-
tween Miss Lombard's inborn
habit of lying and Mac-Murray's
love for truth.
Implicated by circumstantial
evidence, Miss Lombard finds
herself accused of a murder,
of which she is entirely inno-

lieve her story, and forces her
to "confess" that, she killed in
self-defense. On this plea, he
Monument To Be Unveiled
At Scottish Rite Hospital
DALLAS — A lovely study in
pure white marble, portraying
the ideals of the Texas Scottish
Rite Hospital for Cripple Child-
ren, will be unveiled with ap-
propriate ceremonies on the
lawn of that institution in Dal-
las Easter Sunday afternoon.
The public is invited to attend
these ceremonies.
The monument was erected
last week on the grounds of the
children's hospital. It depicts a
nurse aiding a crippled child.
Its theme is that of care, friend-
ship and help on the part of
the hospital to children who
cannot aid themselves. The sta-
tue is dedicated to the people
who have already endowed the
Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for
Crippled Children and to those
who in tli£ future leave legacies
to combat crippling disease and
restore Texas childhood to nor-
malcy.
"To Live In Hearts We Leave
Behind Is Not To Die," is the
message engraved on one of the
sextagonal sides of the statue.
The names of those endowing
the hospital will be cadved on
the memorial.
The monument, with its base,
is eighteen feet high and carved
from a huge block of pure mar-
ble which Raoul Josset selected
and quarried especially for the
purpose in Canton, Georgia. "1
have made many statues," Jos-
set says, "but my heart is truly
in this one. As I worked, my
mind was fixed on the sympathy
between nurse and child. If mv
inspiration can carry to anyone
who sees it, my thoughts, my
pity and my sympathy toward
crippled children, 1 am amply
rewarded."

scene, in the role of an eccentric
derelict whose brother-in-law
actually committed the mur-
der, and who tries to black-
mail Miss Lombard by threaten-

lied to him in her "confession"
unless she buys him off.
