In "The Champ‘", many scenes were actually filmed in Mexican border locales, including the famous hotel and race track at Agua Caliente.

The handâ€" some mounting given the RKOQO Radio picture by Producer Harry E. Edington, and the clever and wellâ€"knit original screenâ€"play by Norman Krasna, all blend smoothly with the acting to make "Mr. Mrs. Smith" a real event in film cireles, and a picture that is crammed with entertainment. The two stars are ideally cast in this merry offering, and Gene Raymond, topâ€"featured, does a splendid job as the rival partner. Also featured are Philip Merivale and Lucile Watson as Raymond‘s straitâ€"laced. parents, and Jack Carson as a playboy.

Among the rules by which the young couple get along is one which requires them, in the event of a quarrel to remain in their bedroom until the matter is settled.

She possesses a fine colâ€" oratura soprano which she uses to great advantage, especially in duets with Wilbur Evans, St. Louis Municipal Opera Company baritone star who makes his screen debut in the film. Evans has a warm friendly personâ€" ality and his voice is equal to any on the screen today. He sings two selecâ€" tions from the classics in the film. Miss Fellows also solos a pair of songs, including the popular "Star of Love."

However, her scheme backfires when Marian remains true to her exâ€" fiance and Linda finds herself in love with Niles. The remainder of the story concerns the attempts of Linda, transâ€" formed overnight into a grownâ€"up glamour girl with the help of her couâ€" sin, to trick the man into a proposal of marriage.

Once in a blue moon, a picture comes out of Hollywood, which, forgetting all about the soâ€"called movie art, proceeds to tell a delightful story, tells it cleverâ€" ly and with sincerity, and, when finâ€" ished, leaves every patron with a smile on his face and warmth in his heart.

Other private individuals in the United States ranking above Jack Miner were Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller, ; Charles Lindbergh and J. P. Morgan. ‘\Last year when a survey was made Jack Miner ranked first in Canada, but was 13th in the United States,. In other .words during the last year he _has climbed from 13th place to fifth | place among 130,000,000 people. It is interesting to note that with the ex> ception of Lindbergh, the other names preceding Jack Miner were men whose wealth had made them famous, but Jack Miner has become known by his activities in connection with the study of bird life. He is the "father of the sanctuary idea of conservation of bird life," which has been copied the world | over, especially by every state in the |United States and every Province in | Canada.. The beauty of Jack Miner‘s | research work and of his establishment of the Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary is , that future generations will benefit by same and that his life and activities have been the means of creating love in the hearts of this generation for | birds and animals. As Jack Miner | says: "If I can get a child to have love |for a bird or an animal how much Lgreater his love will be for his fellowâ€" | men." Nationally speaking Canada must reâ€" member it has commited itself through its war effort to the masses of Canâ€" adians and other Britishers, not by a political formula, but by our very blesâ€" sed lives and reasonable amount of fairness. The bureau in making this survey bases such information on the amount of space given the various individuals in tha press of the land. Jack Miner‘s great accomplishments have been feaâ€" tured both in the feature and editorial section of all leading publications on the continent because such editors fully realize the importance of Jack Miner‘s life work to humanity. ments have employed any persons of alitcn enemy origin (even at casual work) while Canadians or other Britâ€" ishers walked, or walk, idle. Thanking you, Mr. Editor again for your valuable space, in The Advance. Yours very sincerely, William Stewart While Jack Miner is a poor man in comparison with the names with which he ranks, yvet the public has made a beaten path to his door just as humanâ€" ity wishes to see where Ford, Rockeâ€" feller, Lindbergh and other famous live and have laboured.
