Also The Weaver Brothers and El- viry in \Down In Old Arkansas\ Sunday Monday and Tuesday; Son- day Matinee at 2:30 p. m.; Shirley Temple in \Just Around The Corner\ There's so much to laugh at, so much to love, so many things to take away and remember in Shirley Tem- ple's new picture, \Just Around The Corner,\ that even the most glowing comment can hardly do justice either to Shirley or to the delightful show which 20th Century-Fox has fashioned around its Number One star. You'll simply have to go see it for yourself! - For \Just Around The Corner\ Is not only the best picture Shirley Tem- ple has ever appeared in, but also one of the most entertaining bits ever pro- duced by the studio that has given us so many great pictures in the past. And it finds Shirley in her happiest role, one which allows her an occas- ional outburst of that mischievous hu- mor which is said to be so character- istic of her irrepressible spirit outside the Btudfov Among thosfr who share in all this fun are Charles Farrell, aa Shirley's Dad; Jeeta Davis, g to a keanel-foa of Park Aveane life**- es; Amanda Doff (a pg visitors season. orange juice; decond, reduced elec- trical rates; and third, free coeoa- nuts. «The nickle glass of juice was •won by the Citrus rorwters' Exchange after a long fight.

A dazzling moderu girl, having a modern good time on a co-ed campus, wearing swank clothes, keeping swell dates — that's Sonja as you'll see her in \My Lucky Star,\ her new hit for 20th Century Fox. A credit to Darryl F. Zanuck and to everyone who had a hand in its mak- ing, this is a picture that winks and flitters with fun and romance and the magic of stars hanging low on a still frosty night. It has songs and laugh- ter that seem to sail through the air like ski jumpers and sonja's magnifi- cent \Alice In Wonderland\ ice ballet —climaxing what is- by all odds her happiest screen story — is a thing to make you cry out in wonder and de- light Sharing star honors with Sonja and giving an excellent account of him- self is Richard Greene, handsome young British actor last seen in \Four Men A Prayer,\ while Joan Davis, Ce- sar Romero and Buddy Ebsen are fea- tured in widely divergent comedy roles which will delight their fun-lov- ing fans. <jordon and Revel's delightful melo- dies lend fresh enchantment to the breath-taking ice ballets in which Sonja surpasses even her sensational performances in \Thin Ice\ and \Hap- up Landing.\ AJso Dick Powell and Olivia de Havil- land In \Hard to Get\ Some of the best matches are made —not in Heaven, as the old saying goes — but in the Hollywood casting offices, They don't have to stand the test of marriage, of course, but they do have to stand the test of the film public's romantic ideas. \I don't know what he sees in her\ (or vice versa) is probably one of the most overworked- sentences in the English language. And that's what the casting directors have to circumvent. Latest result of their art is the pair- ing of Olivia de Haviland and Dick Powell in \Hard To Get,\ a delightful romantic comedy. British Taxes Exceed Levies On Americans Chicago. — Although taxes seem quite heavy enough in the United States,, the bill paid by Americans per capita, was considerably below that paid by citizens of Great Britain in 1937, according to a study made by the Federation of Tax Administrators here. Citizens of Great Britain paid $107 for all taxeo, while those in the United States averaged $92. The biggest difference In the two tax systems is in. the sources of rev- enue, the study shows. In Great Britain, 34 per cent ot the total col- lect! ona came from income taxes; in the United State*, property taxes con- tributed the largest share, or 38 per cent. The ewe flock may get some of their feed in the field in an open* wint- er, or they may be. fed some low-grade roughage. Legume ' hay, however, should be the basis of most rations for New York farm, flocks.
