VOIH & LOEB NEWS
By C. S. BEARD
F. L. Roberts, Dr. J. A. Knight
and Lewis Robin are now on their
vacation.
Joe Richard has been seriously
ill for the past week but at this
time he seems to be gaining
strength. “Uncle Joe” is almost 80
years of age. He has asked all of
his friends to pay him a visit at
his home in Loeb.
W. L. Swearingen lost several
sheets of roofing in the wind storm
last week, but it was quickly re-
placed.
The Kirby mill at Loeb has been
closed down for repairs several
days but resumed operations on
Tuesday.
Grading is almost complete on
the Keith estate at Loeb, although
the recent storm stopped work
there for a week.

Just as if they had been ordered
to do it in preparation for their
roles in the current RKO Radio
picture, “Vigil in' the Night,” in
which they portray the roles of
sister nurses in a hospital, Carole
Lombard and Anne Shirley have
recently played real roles in a real
hospital!
When “Vigil in the Night” had
been before the cameras but three
days, Carole was rushed to the
hospital for an emergency appen-
dectomy. Three weeks later Anne
Shirley employed the idle interim
to have an operation upon her
right knee which had been injured
in childhood and was begining to
be bothersome.
Both actresses had plenty of time
for a concentrated study of the
habits and mannerisms of their
real-life prototypes.
Brian Aherne shares stellar
honors with Carole Lombard and
Anne Shirley in “Vigil in the
Night,” which will be shown on the
Palace screen next Thursday and
Friday.
