Elliott Nugent ap- pears opposite Miss Davies in the delightful comedy. To film “Cimarron,” a seven- mile cavalcade would its way through Cshuenga Pass, Calif. Five thou- sand persons made up the mighty horde bound for a wide expanse of plain 20 miles south of Los An- geles, where Radio Pictures was to reproduce the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889. Replica of Original Old-time plainsmen, veterans of the Oklahoma Run itself, say the the film thousands surged over the starting line with the same fighting determination of the or- iginal land-hungry horde. The weird vehicles, the live-stock, men afoot, on horseback, and even astride bicycles swept over the prairie like water through a broken dam. The land rush sequence forms but a part of the picture’s action.

CUSTARD DESSERTS WILL BAKE BETTER | IN SMALL DISHES Coffee is Also Better When Roasted in Small Lots— Hills Bros.” Method | | | { The smaller the dish, the more | evenly and quickly the oven heat can penetrate to the center of the | custard. Such results cannot be counted upon when large baking dishes are used. Applying this principle to roast- | ing their fine blend of coffee, Hills | Bros. found the way to develop uni- | form flavor in every ounce. X con- stant stream of green coffee is | introduced into the roaster in auto- matically measured lots of about three pounds, and passes through in a steady flow, roasting a little at a time. There is accurate con- trol of both the flow of coffee and the temperature. This process, patented by Hills Bros.—Controlled Roasting—de- velops a delicious uniform flayor no other coffee has. The ordinary ( method—roasting in bulk—is vir- tually lacking in control. Grocers everywhere sell Hills missed against four youths accused of attacking Arlene Davis Gray at a drinking party last November 2. They will be tried for assaults.
