they came from Ohio.
Until a few ypars age, the couple
occasionally went to early mass at
Father Reilly’s church, speaking to
no one along the way nor even to
each other. For the rest they kept
indoors, receiving their clothes and
even their ford in packages from
mail order houses. Three times a
year the mailman brought them an
envelope containing a check which
apparently kept them supplied with
necessities and left them something
more bsides.
Thursday George Powers, solicitor
for a laundry firm, set out to drum
tip business among the newly arrived
cummer residents and came to the
plain, weather beaten house where
the couple lived. He beat on the door
a few times then went to the police

natural causes between two and three
weeks ago. John was taken to a hos

DITTMANN
“Jimmy and Sally," the Dlttmann
theater’s offering which opens Fri
day for a two-day rim, is whole
heartedly recommended by this
department. In fact, we believe
that this Fox comedy romance
with music Is one of the ablest of
the season and thoroughly suited
to Jimmy Dunn's style. Also, we
are of the opinion that his film
sweetheart, Claire Trevor, also
portrays an interesting character
ization.
Jimmy, cast as a high pressure
press agent, is so sold on himself
that he neglects his girl friend.
She happens to be smarter than
he believes her to be and as a re
sult he gets more than one sur-1
prise. On more than one occasion I
she gives him pointers which help
to build up his ego.
When Jimmy falls for his boss’
sweetheart, a dancer with the lead
ing night club, he starts something
which he had not reckoned for
As a result some of the big shots of
gangland toss him around. This is
enough to make the sourest indi
vidual in town howl with laughter.
