The drama of a great man and the love that inspired him is told with power, humor and profound emotion, with Don Ameche as Bell, Loretta Young as the lovely Mabel Hubbard, out of whose deafness came the inspiration for the tele- phone, and Henry Fonda as Thom- as A. Watson, Bell's assistant. B LEGION AUX. TO HOLD INITIATION Initiation will be the main fea- ture of tomorrow night’s 8 o'clock meeting of the American Legion Auxiliary in the Dugout.
