SHE DONE HIM WRONG
Wednesday and Thursday Mar. 23-
24 "She Done Him Wrong."
Mae West appears in this her first
starring picture as both actress and
as the author as the girl who did him
wrong. There is plenty of humor and
pathos in the picture but it is not at
all a tame feature. There is some-
thing in it that will please the most
fastidious but there are other parts
that are not so pleasing.
When you hear Mae West sing
"Frankie and Johnnie" you can make
your own decisions. The picture shows
all the saloon scenes and other parts
of the Bowery. There is plenty of the
lower life of the district portrayed

THAT SOMEONE SOMEPLACE
Back there someplace
We left some one we love
Whose letters we wait for
Whom we're always thinking of.
Perhaps it's a tiny babe
Or a precious mother dear
Or maybe a dad sweetheart or hus-
band Who causes that little tear.
But when you are lonely
Longing for home and blue
You can bet that that someone some-
place Is just as lonely for you.
You can read in their letters (between
the lines)
Little love things they say
They're being so brave
Just wanting you to stay.
Can we be a quitter
A failure in the sight
Of. that someone who kneels
To pray for us each night!
So let's keep fighting folks
See this through to the very end
To go back to that someplace
Never more to roam
We owe it to that someone
Our own dear folks at home.
Helen Burt.
"Boasting is a sort of effort to
strengthen one's faith in one's self

is indulged by one who knows that
his heart isn't wholly right and that
there is too much of self in his motives."

Coming to the Gem Monday and
Tuesday is the "Big Broadcast" one
of the most popular pictures ever
shown in Brownwood. When the pic-
ture was at the Lyric there was wide-
spread comment on its musical feat-
ures. Now that the management has
brought the picture back there is an
opportunity for the persons who miss-
ed it before to see it.
Gaynor and Ayres are the principals
of one. Miss Eilers and Foster are
the sweethearts of the other. The
comedy centres chiefly around the
characterization of Will Rogers as a
farmer who enters his prize hog Blue
Boy for the grand championship at
the state fair. Blue Boy a 900-lb.
Hampshire boar is said to contribute
considerable unconscious comedy.
Henry Klnjj is the director of "State
Fair" and the screen play adaptation
of Stong's best-selling novel was writ-
ten by Sonya Levien and Paul Green.
FRIENDSHIP
Friendship is the Golden Chain
That firmly holds with Might and
Main
By Links of Laughter Smiles and
Tears
Entwined in Memory's Golden Years
That reaches far to the Long Trail's
End
And binds the Heart of Friend and
Friend.
"This is a dirty trick" said the hog
as he turned over in a mudhole.
No one seeking greatness for him-
self apart from greatness for others
can ever achieve it.
"Queer man! Place him where he
has no installment payments no gro-
cery bills no taxes no loss on stocks
no chance of being run down by an
auto and still he saws the bars to
get out."
OPPORTUNITY
But once I pass this way
And then and then the silent Door
Swings on its hinges
Open . . . Close
And no more
I pass this way.
So while I may
With all my might
I will assay
Sweet comfort and delight
To all I meet upon the Pilgrim Way
For no man travels twice
The Great Highway
That climbs through darkness up to
light
Through night
To day. John Oxenham.
Great men exist that there may be
greater men. Emerson.
BEATING HIM AT HIS OWN GAME
The oldest good story is the one
about the boy who left the farm and
got a job in the city. He wrote a let-
ter to his brother who elected to stick
by the farm telling of the joys of city
life in which he said:
"Thursday we auto'd out to the
country club where we golfed until
dark. When we motored to the beach
and Fridayed there."
The brother on the farm wrote
back:
"Yesterday we buggied to town and
base balled all afternoon. Then we
went to Med's and pokered till morn-
ing. Today we muled out to the corn
field and gee-hawed until sun-down.
Then we suppered and then we piped
for a while. After that we staircased
up to our room and bed-steaded until
the clock lived. Ainad Temple Bulle-
tin. While you are meditating a revenge
the devil is meditating a recruit.
"Walter it's been half an hour
since I ordered that turtle soup."
"Sorry sir but you know how tur-

LABOR AS SEEN
FROM STANDPOINT
OF NECESSITY
Present problems have caused
young people and old every where to
think more about labor and Its differ
ent aspects. By quoting several of
the great men of history it is possi-
ble to show that labor is perhaps the
best thing in life for the man or wo-
man. James A. Garfield compared labor
with talent when he said "If the pow-
er to do hard work is not talent it is
the best substitute for it." Talent is
supposed to be ability to do some
thing well but here this great man
has compared the ability to work with
talent. Work is the most Important
thing in the life of man.
Another of the presidents of the
United States said "Labor disgraces
no man. Unfortunately you sometimes
find men that disgrace labor." Ulys-
ses S. Grant a hard working man
made the state above. If a man is
ashamed to work for an education it
seems that if he had an education he
would be ashamed to use that educa-
tion for the best results because with-
out work there is no success.
Gompers president of ttie Ameri-
can Federation of Labor since 1882
with the exception of one year 1884
says "Working men are the founda-
tion of society." We have all heard
the importance of the foundation and
realize that without proper founda-
tion there is no superstructure. It
seems that perhaps the superstruc-
ture of American civilization has be-
come a little bit ashamed of its foun-
dation and during the last three or
four years has returned to the point
where a closer contact with founda-
tion can be made.
Labor in all its aspects is the thing
that makes life worth living. We can
consider the men who live in warm
climates. They have very little to do
except eat and sleep. Here we find
no initiative no interest in life no
love for the better things such as art
music and the other of the finer
things. There is little parental love
where labor is practically unknown.
Labor makes the life of the aver-
age person a pleasure without they
have found some labor that does not
suit their temperament or their train-
ing. The thing that the people of to-
day go to schools for is to learn to
labor and to use lives more success-
fully. Technocracy will never succeed
for the man who labors until he has
no longer hours than four will be un-
happy. Twenty hours per day in
which to rest is too much. Look how
lazy the American is today that has
sixteen hours to rest. If laziness
grows in proportion to the amount of
rest the technocrat would not even
feed himself when he became hungry.
Labor is necessary for the balanced
life. Labor is necessary for happi-
ness and is very necessary for peace.
Benjamin Franklin said that the idle
mind was the devil's workshop. There
will never be any shutting down of
the mills that produce the devil's
products but there is less output
where there is more labor.

Magic Masters Boom
Business By Exposure
Masters of conjuring and sleight-of-hand
always have delighted in expos-
ing the tricks of magic according to
the late great Harry Houdlnl Ameri-
ca's famous magician.
Many of the celebrated tricks and
effects of conjuring and magic are
hundreds of years old. As each great
magician edded some new improve-
ment to the trick he told how he did
it.
With each generation came a larger
public. The explanations only seemed
to whet the appetite for more.
How Houdlnl Got His Name
Many people have wondered about
the origin of the unusual name of
"Houdini" adopted by the great mag-
ician' of our own age.
It was because of his great admira-
tion for Robert-Houdin the brilliant
French wizard of the nineteenth cen-
tury that Houdini took the name
meaning "Like Houdin" the compli-
ment of the gifted disciple to an older
master.
Robert-Houdin fascinated the pub-
lic of his day with published accounts
of his tricks . . . and Houdini has fol-
lowed him in describing the most fa-
mous tricks of all time the suspen-
sion or "levitation" mind reading
card tricks the inexhaustible bottle
disappearances Indian fakir tricks
and mystifying escapes. Two of Hou-
dlni's well known books are "The
Unmasking of Robert-Houdin" and
"Miracle Mongers and Their Methods
A Complete Expose."
Among other moderns who have
drawn back the curtain of mystery
and given us a glimpse of the inside
workings of magic show are Ottokar
Fischer in his "Illustrated Magic"
Professor Hoffmann in his "Modern
Magic" Evans with his "History of
Conjuring and Magic" and Albert A.
Hopkins whose "Magic Stage Illus-
ions and Scientific Diversions" is a
standard work.
Howard Thurston acknowledged
the most brilliant performer of today
has written explanations of 400 tricks
many of which the amateur can easily
learn to perform.
Magic Revealed in Camel Ads
Current interest in magic has re-
vived new impetus as a result of the
new series of Camel cigarette adver-
tisements which feature explanations
of magic deceptions in order to bring
out the thought that Camel cigarettes
contain "No tricks . . . just costlier
tobaccos in a matchless blend."
The Camel ads are based on explan-
ations published by the magicians
themselves according to the R. J.
Reynolds Tobacco Company.
Professional magicians were con-
sulted before the campaign was re-
leased. They took the view that "ex-
posures" from within the profession
have always created a new public fol-
lowing for magic. Hence a great many
magicians have heartily endorsed the
new cigarette campaign.
With schools reporting great inter-
est in magic among the children mag-
ic shops doing a flourishing business
in magic apparatus and publishers
finding that sales of magic books are
rising the Camel advertisements are
likely to be credited with starting a
new fad in entertainment.
Wisdom is the jewel that the righte-
ous man extracts from a sad experience.
JOKES
KIND WORDS
A very tired traveling man got Into
a Southern town at a late evening
hour when the one hotel the town af-
forded had finished serving supper.
The apologetic colored waiter ex-
plained with much confusion that
"dey v-Tsn't hahdly nothln' lef so af-
ter having tried ordering steak then
lamb stew and other dishes that had
been on the menu the weary patron
said: "Oh well give me a couple of
eggs and a few kind words."
Presently the waiter returned and
placing the eggs in front of the man
said: "Heahs paht of yo' order Boss"
and then bending near him he added
"and dis heahs de rest of it Don't
eat 'em."
Auto Salesman: "It runs so smooth-
ly you can't feel it so quietly you
can't hear it has such perfect igni-
tion you can't sfell it and for speed
you can't see it."
Londoner: "My word! How do you
know the bally thing is there?"
"What do you think of our stad-
ium?" "It is certainly wonderful. And I
would like to go through the curricu-
lum. They say you have a fine one
here."
Teacher: Why is English called the
Mother tongue?
Billie: Cause father never gets a
chance to use it.
"Did you hear that Jim got poison-
ed eating chickens?"
"Croquette."
"Not yet but he's pretty sick."
"After all fools make life amus-
ing. When all the fools are dead I
don't want to be alive."
"Never fear you won't."
i m
"Did you see the Johnson twins?"
"Yeah."
"Don't you think the boy is the pic-
ture of his father?"
"I sure do and the girl is the talkie
of her mother."
Old Lady (to grocery clerk) : "Don't
you know that it is very rude to whis-
tle when dealing with a lady?"
Clerk: "That's what the boss told
me to do ma'am."
Old Lady: "Told you to whistle?"

told you anything we'd have to whis-
tle for the money."
