Judging the Movies (Continued from page 20) to a climax which in itself provides the best comedy in the picture. But in “Kid Boots” one is asked to keep track of too many romances and too many beautiful girls. The action becomes involved, the cutting back and forth fast and furious, and the comedy: climax when. Kid Boots & Company drop on the courthouse with a parachute, is palpably artifi- | cial and effortful. Funny? Yes, | | but not to be compared in this | | respect with the fight in which the | fake Battling Butler knocks out the | real one. But maybe I’m laboring the point. “Kid Boots” is good for several laughs and Eddie Cantor has the satisfaction of knowing that he ean | resort to pantomime without cramp- ing his style. The Pure, Pure Fish (Continued from page 5) Sweet Pattootie floated clear ac the next county in the tender str: of “Palpitatin’ Mamma, Papa’s Get- tin’ Back His Breath.” Her decision was Her | mind, what there was of it, was hard | as a rock. George, the concrete tire salesman, was not for the likes of her. She would stay at home and go about her happy, wholesome way, singing at her menial tasks and brightening the lives of the people in her perish. After all, she would be more | appreciated here at home, faithfully tending her father’s stills, milking the chickens and watering the cows, than she would be as some rich man’s plaything in the great city.

Rain and Telephone (alls THE annual rain fall in the United States would weigh over three and one-half trillions of tons. This vast weight is drawn up to the clouds by the unseen but effective power of the sun; rep- resenting energy equivalent to three hundred billion horse- power. The annual telephone conver- sations total over twenty-five billion a year. As silently as sunlight, electricity, mastered by the human mind, carries the voices of the nation. There must be the man-power of 300,000 individuals to build, maintain and operate the tele- phone system. There must be the money- power of over seven hundred million dollars a year to pay for operating the plant, in ad- dition to three billion dollars invested in the plant.
