The Arizona ranch of Judge Ha Bill Northcote, turns out to have plenty of open spaces but comparatively little wilderness. In fact, to Judge Hardy's prob- able disappointment, it has practically all the conveniences of home along with horses to ride and steers to rope. The one convenience lacking, or endangered, is a steady water supply— and the judge and family go west to see what can be done about saving this. Incidentally, Andy ar-old motherless Hardy learns a few tricks from “Jake,” daughter of the ranch foreman; Mar- jan Hardy develops 2 romantic crush on Jake’s daddy; the judge all along about that picnic “scandal” in which he'd been involved with Dora Northcote long years and there’s a great co-do about old Indian blankets, to save the Northcote ranch and the learns that his wife knew before; which in the end Hardy fortune.

The new Peck off- spring (Tommy Kelly) is but slightly “bad”—although he does find a frog in his soup—and becomes more a typical, enterprising American youth than a problem child. He attends the circus, gives sleeping pills to the lions, thus crabbing Benita Hume's lion-taming act, later saves the day for the child bareback rider (Ann Gillis) by subbing for her when the Hume fury has incapacitated her, and finally gets off in time to win the big race at the summer camp from his boy rival. «Little Tough Guy in Society” is of the biff-bam-bop school of juvenile manners popularlized by the Dead End Kids, furthered by the present series from Universal. In this school, toughness is indicated by punctuating all_ remarks by slapping, pushing or mauling the face of the penson addressed, so that the audible effect is of constant machine- -gunning. Mischa Auer plays a psychiatrist who imports the tough guys from the East Side to leaven the snobbery of Jackie Searl, spoiled son of wealthy, flut- tery Mary Boland. Edward Everett Horton is the family butler _and the consequences are about what you'd expect, topped by a free-for-all battle with hold-up men. ——————————————————— 1 L E we - 'DEANNA DURBIN | | _ Wh ¥ AT HER BEST IN MUSICAL HERE Herbert Marshall Heads Cast in New Hit "Mad About Music,” Capitol | Deanna Durbin’s always an event latest picture is “Three Smart Girls” was a sur-| prise, bringing to the screen a fresh sparkling and lovable little star 100 Men and a Girl” w a revela- cn of the tremendous sir ng abil- ies of this amazing youngster, and “Mad About Music,” see t night at the Capitol Theatre 1 as- tounding display of both acting and | singing.

They were expensive too. It was a great thing for us when the orange was pro- moted to a regular place on our year-round breakfast table. Now the drinking of delici- ous, healthful orange juice is a universal custom. What brought about this change? It was accomplished entirely by advertising. Farm- ers who raised oranges wanted to sell more of them and they advertised the benefits of drinking orange juice. Many of us tried it and liked it, and we bought more oranges. Production of oranges went up and prices came down. Annual consumption of oranges increased from 7 per capita to 58, and every- body is Happier for it, consumers, farmers, railroads, ‘and grocers. A distinguished physician recently de- seribed how he and other nutrition experts had tried for years to educate the public to drink tomato juice. But they didn’t get any- where. Then certain food companies started canning tomato juice. They advertised its pleasing taste and health-giving properties. As a direct result, nearly everybody drinks tomato juice now, and in 1937 the public bought 5,750,000 cases of it. - Spinach, ‘long known as a valuable food, has been the bane of many a youngster’s existence. To make children eat it was like pulling teeth. Then, along came Popeye the Sailor. Backed by an advertising appropria- tion, he actually converted children into en- thusiastic spinach-eaters. Popeye’s thou- sands of fans want to be strong, and they thoroughly enjoy their spinach. Sosidind ‘eel drmatics.

A traveling doctor fed the Emperor on lettuce leaves and he got well. Even that long ago, it seems that some- body knew about the value of green leaves in the human diet. Members of his court imi- tated the Emperor’s eating habits and all began eating salads made of lettuce leaves. But there was no advertising in those days, and salad eating did not become a general custom. Centuries later, Napoleon knew about the value of this kind of food, for he ate it daily. When in the field, his chef pre- pared salads of green leaves from a nearby tree, if lettuce was not available. But the general public was not greatly influenced by Napoleon’s eccentric eating habits. In this country, less than a generation ago, green salads were almost unknown in the average home. Today we are a nation of salad-eaters. What caused this remarkable change? Advertising, and almost nothing else. Companies that sell dressing and other salad ingredients have educated the public to the health value of fresh green leaves and have taught people how to prepare salads. As a consequence, the average person’s diet has become lighter and decidedly more healthful. Oranges, tomato juice, spinach, and salads. These are only a few of the better foods popu- larized by advertising. There are many more, and the American table is now the best in the world. The good work continues. Adver- tising puts more health in our food and more zest in our meals. Copyright 1938, "Advertis ing Federation of Amerres
