That is the problem treated by the new Marlene Dietrich picture, “Angel,” which opens tonight at the Coliseum Theatre. “Angel” was di- rected by Ernst Lubitsch and fea- tures Herbert Marshall and Melvyn Douglas in top male roles. Marlene Dietrich plays the wife of Herbert Marshall, who is a diploma‘ ‘0o busy with state affairs to have time for romance. She goes off on ¢ <ecret trip to Paris, where she meet Melvyn Dougias, who is returning tc England after a long sojourn in In- | dia. Immediately they fall in love, and spend the one evening she has free together. She refuses to tell her name, saying that although she re- grets it, the evening must be looker upon as an incident which cannot be repeated. Douglas names he “Angel.” In spite of the appeal o Douglas, she goes back home and Juneau's Greatest Show Valun STARTING TONIGHT IN WHERE WIVES FEAR TO TREADI ¢ WOMAN WANTS TO DO . . SHE DID!

Interesting items: radio in every room; electric fly traps; swim- ming pool (to come); a rain-on-the-roof cooling system for the valley's scorching summer days; interior decoration in simple but colorful English style; 11 rooms and a five- or six-car garage (al- though it holds only a station wagon and one shining new car). Well, it has ALMOST everything—not quite. Jobyna Arlen isn't around. She and the squire, after 12 years of marriage, have parted for the nonce. I don’t know how the lady feels about it, but the squire doesnt seem to be very happy. If the gossips would lay off, it might be that Breezy Top would have everything. Dick left his hermitage for dinner with Virginia Gray one evening —-and next day there was a “romance” in print. “There isn't any romance in having dinner with a good friend —and neither Joby nor I am interested in anyone else,” said Dick. Once mayor of Toluca Lake, Dick is now mayor of nearby Sunland. His intention to live permanently at Breezy Top is a fact appreciated by the natives who indignantly squelched a Bob Taylor-for-Mayor campaign. . “Taylor,” some of the Jocd! mercants shrewdly observed, “is not a real Sunlander—he doesn't trade with us.” | with a running start DINEAT THE Royal Cafe ening was Mrs. C.

The milk will be clean, pure, and safe from contamination. Special milk trains will serve the large cities, rushing the precious fluid at express speed direct from cows to customers. In no other land do con- sumers enjoy such a wonderful milk distribu- tion system as we have in this country. In Europe, milkmen still dip milk from their cans into the open containers of householders. Only a generation ago, our own milk sup- ply was insanitary and the source of much disease. Bacteria in milk took a staggering death toll among babies. Since then a mar- velous change has come about. Today the dairying industry is almost a miracle of cleanliness and rigid sanitation. In the mod- ern dairy, every piece of equipment is taken apart, scrubbed, and completely sterilized twice every day—an eight-hour job. This scrupulous care saves the lives of thousands | of babies every year. Besides making this important food safe for babies and grown-ups, the milk industry has conducted a widespread educational campaign, through advertising, to make bet- ter known the great health value of drinking milk. As a result, the public now consumes one-third more milk per capita. The use of | cheese and other milk products has also been | sharply increased by advertising. The dairy- ing industry now provides farmers with one- fifth of their total income, and is actually the biggest industry in the United States. This development of the country’s milk industry is an educational story. It illustrates the progress in food merchandising, which Copyright 1938, Advertising Number 14 has improved the quality of alnost every- thing you serve on your table. It is interest- ing to see how important a part advertising plays in stimulating this progress. , Every housewife over forty remembers the old-fashioned grocery store where her mother bought the family food, much of it scooped out of open bins and barrels, where it was exposed to dirt and smells. The cat in the cracker barrel was no fairy tale in those days, but the flies really got first chance at everything. All this is changed now. Modern food stores are models of cleanliness. Their qeatly arranged counters and shelves are lined with attractive packages, cans, and bot- tles of well-prepared foods. a4 Not only are these processed foods clean and attractive. They also save many weary hours of kitchen labor for every housewife. Perfectly baked bread wrapped in wax pape fresh ground coffee in cans, ready-c breakfast foods, mixed pancake flour, canne fruits and vegetables of every conceivable variety. A total of 125,000,000 tons of pack- aged and processed foods was produced in this country in 1935. A ton for every man, woman, and child! This great change has been brought about by modern merchandising' methods. The demands of up-to-date merchandising reach back into the food factories and con- trol the processing and packaging. Advertis- ing is the most compelling force in the whole system, forcing manufacturers fo devote every resource to giving the consumer betteér values in quality, safety, and convenience.
