And it offers all the small niceties that make travel pleasant— courteous service, a distinctive air of hospitality, barber, valet service, show- er bath, radio and library.” We appreciate this expression of satisfaction on our service. Accommodations on the air condi- tioned, roller bearing OLYMPIAN are designed to suit those who wish all the luxuries of travel at reasonable cost or comfort without frills at economy prices. Equipment includes club-observation | car, bedroom car, standard sleepers, modern tourist sleepers and luxurious | Hiawatha - type coaches. Appetizing hot meals in the beautiful dining car cost as little as 50¢. In addition, there is an economical Off-the-Tray service in tourist cars and coaches.

By HUBBARD KEAVY AP Staff Writer (Seeing them for vacationing Robbin Coons) HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Sept. 5. — “I LOVE YOU AGAIN.” From a story by Octavus Roy Cohen. Directed by W. S. Van Dyke TI. Principals: William Powell, Myrna Loy, Frank Me- Hugh, Edmund Lowe and Carl “Alfalfa” Switzer My wife, who didn't see this picture, accuses me of bheing too enthusiastic about it and wishes I would stop trying to tell what William Powell said in this or that funny situation. But, she says, if I musi re-enact paris of it. how about those where William was making love to Myrna? I told her I couldn't imitate a love-sick dove, or whatever it was William was cooing like, but that if she would name the night I would take her to see “I Love You Again.” That is quite a compliment, because I have willingly seen only about four pictures a second time in my entire lfc. Tf ny wife does not agree with me (and that goes for anybodv eise) abont the entertainment merits of this fiim, then I wiil willingly eai these words. And not baked in a cake, eitier. This story is based on a novel Oohen wrote, but it took five screen writers to put it in its present shape, plus the magic touch of Director Van Dyke. It's too bad they can't put the same five writers on every story and have Van Dyke direct each one. All of us would go to the movies oftener. Powell's latest “thin man” picture, about a year ago, was PERCY’S CAFE OPEN ALL NIGHT . STOP at PERCY'S ANY TIME for Dinaers er Light Lunches that all Jonrcau is t about. TRY OUR FQUN- 3 TAIN, TOO! good, but he wasn't up to his old fettle as he is in this. It's really his picture. Myrna is just his stuoge, as are McHugh and Lowe and the others. It is Powell at his very bes! and, as I keep telling my wife, it is the best Powell piciure I ever saw. It’s about an amnesia victim who . . . oh, well, why try to tell you what it's about?
