The attention of the Lewis County Health Association officers called to the past showed that some people con- fuse the Christmas seal campaign There with the Ked, Cross \roll call. is no connection between the two. The Christmas seal is conducted by the Lewis County Health Association, which is affiliated with the state com- mittee on tuberculosis and public health of the State Charities Aid Asso- ciation. Years ago the Red Cross did sponsor the sale of Christmas seals, but for some years past the Christ- mas seal campaign has been con- ducted by the National Tuberculosis Association, through the state and local affiliations. Under agreement between the Red Cross and the National Tuberculosis Association, the Red Cross roll call is conducted from Armistice Day, and the Christ- mas seal sale starts its campaign the day after Thanksgiving day, which is the day the Red Cross stops, and con- tinues to Christmas. Last year the returns from the seal sale in Lewis county amounted to $2,062.82. The goal for Lewis county based on the average per capita con- tribution is $2,712.99. HARRY J.

Following Fox's Movietone Follies for 1929, this new musical movie is even a bigger hit than \The Follies.\ Among the songs brought out, which are popular hit* are, \The Hunting Song,\ sung by David Percy to MJss Moran, with a chorus of forty taking part—another is \Take a Little Tip,\ interpreted by twenty boys and girls. \Too Wonderful for Words,\ by Dave Percy, \Beauty\ sung by Miss Moran. \Yours Sincerely\ by Miss Moran and twelve boys. There are also two other songs that reafch the audience, in \Stepping Along,\ and \Good Old Mary Brown,\ making eight songs in all that are rendered in this movie. The cast consists of Lois Moran, Dave Percy, Helen TwelvetreeB, William Orlamond*, EMzzabeth Patterson and other good artists. The story is one to Interest all college students, as it is around the. excitement wrought up over a prtzze contest for the best mus- ical comedy written for the college. The trials and tribulations of the cast in preparing and bringing the revue to a point where It is ready for the stage, and the petty Jealousies that go with a school act of any Mind are more than brought out in *'WordB and Music.\ There will also be the usual added programme, which Is by far the best offered in any theatre in the North country. \Oh Yeah,* Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, December 9, 10,11 For the first three days of next week the management of the Lowville opera house have underlined a comedy drama of the railroad that has every- thing. It is a talking picture .with a faugh, but that laugh starts*at the first scene and ends when you are going out of the door on your way home. It is a dramatization of the pop- ular story in the Saturday Evening Post, called \No Brakes.\ The cast in- cludes such comedians at Zasu Pitts, Bob Armstrong and Jimmy Gleason, a trio of fun provokers and fun lovers that will takke a grouch and make him human. Our advice to wives who have grumbly husbands is to take him to see this play and he will go home with a smile on bis face and a good cheer in his heart, and then you can strike him for the Christmas money that you want. The remainder of the programme Is made up of the usual high standard. \4-DevUa Thursday. Friday, Satur- day, December 12, 13, 14.
