Mr. Patteson said that to the best
of his knowledge the Ford dealer

greater length of time than any
other automobile agency in this
part of the state. "There are men
in the automobile business in the
Valley who were in the business
twelve years ago. but none of them
have operated continuously with
the same car. so far as I know,” he
stated.

required hours can now be perform

It has been two years in the mak
ing. but if advance reports prove
true the First National picture ‘ Gold

lor.
In the cast are Dick Powell,
Adolphe Menjou. Gloria Stuart. Alice
Brady, Glenda Farrell. Frank Mc
Hugh, Hugh Herbert, Joseph Caw-j
thorn. Grant Mitchell. Dorothy I
Dare and Winifred Shaw.
It is a catchy romance with a
fashionable summer hotel as the set
ting. A wealthy widow, who is es
sentially penurious, is the target ot
the gold diggmg propensities of a
trio of schemers.
