MIDNIGHT FROLIC AT LAKEVIEW PARK Annual Dance at Jubilee CHICAGO CUBS BEATEN Cincinnati, Sept. 5. -- Hitting safely in every luning and with each of the nine men in the game getting at least one hit and scor- ing at least one run, the Cincin- nati Reds overwhelmed the Chic- ago Cubs here yesterday 12 to 3 to record their fifth straight vic- Ambition Plus Luck Gave Sally Eilers her Chance Sally Eilers, who is co-featured been scheduled to do. wiht George O'Brien in the Fox outdoors romance, "A Holy Ter- ror," coming Monday to the New Martin Theatre, is thankful to a pair of pants and another girl's perverse nature. Miss Eilers, at that time just out of Hollywood High School, had long cherished a desire for a screen career. With the hope of getting some extra work she ac- companied her friend, Carole Lombard, who was with Mack Sennett, to the studio It hap- pened to be the same day that Sennett was looking for a new ingenue because a featured play- er had walked out on him fol- lowing an argument over her wearing a pair of pants as called for by the script in a particular scene. Bennett saw Miss Eiers, gave her a screen test and then offered her ea contract and the part the recalcitrant actress had The part was in "The Good- bye Kiss" and proved that Sen- nett knew his potential stars. Other roles followed, each ad- vancing her reputation with the film loving public; "Dry Mar- tini," "Show Of Shows," "Dough- boys," "Sailors Holiday," "Par- lor, Bedroom and Bath" and "Let Us Be Gay." More recently she went to the Fox studios to enact the role of Spencer Tracy's "moll" in "Quick Millions." Her parformance won her a long term contract with that organization and the lead in "The Black Camel," which fur- nished her opportunity for an- other personal triumph, In the supporting cast of "A Holy Terror" are Rita La Roy, Humphrey Bogart and James Kirkwood. Irving Cummings di- rected. Character of Hill-Billy Women Depicted in Film quite independent, working alongside the men in most busi- ness and social capacities, earn- ing their own livings, buying their own clothes and supporting themselves in many instances even after their marriages. That this is not true of the mountain women who dwell on stoney little farms in the valleys between the towering mountains of West Virginia, is seen in '"Tol'able David," the film, adapted by Columbia Pictures from Joseph Hergesheimer's fam- ous story. In this picture, when heart failure takes away the head of the house, and an accident in- capacitates the eldest son, there is no one left to work the bar- ren fields and so eke but even that poor existence which the family had previously enjoyed. They must move into town to a poor shack, giving up the farm on which they have lived all their lives. For women folk of the moun- "tains to work the farm them- selves, is out of the question. Cooking, caring for the house, feeding hungry mouths, milking the cows, feeding the little live- stock they possess--this is their work. Beyond this, to till the fields also, would be more than their strength would allow. They are dependent on their men to do the work which brings them food, just as those earlier Am- ericans, the Indians, were de- pendent upon their warriors to go out and bring down the deer, wild fowl and other food. "Tol'able David" boasts an excellent cast. Richard Crom- well, a newcomer to the screen, is "David." Supporting him are many well known stage and screen troupers, including Joan Peers, Henry B, Walthall, Helen Ware, Noah Beery and George Duryea. John B. Blystone di- rected. \ And as we understand it, the railroads want a 15 per cent, rate advance to help them get back the business they lost because their 'rates were too high.--Judge. Pavilion To Be Better Than Ever Starting at five minutes after twelve o'clock midnight, Sunday night, the annual midnight frolic will be held at the Jubilee Payili- on, Lakeview Park. This mid- night dance has always attracted large crowds and Manager "Bob" Fraser, who operates the pavilion is sparing no pains to make the frolic more delightful and en- tertaining than ever. The Hollywood Ambassadors' Orchestra, well known syncopa- tors, has been secured to provide the music and the dancing will be continued until early morning. Those who have attended these frolics in the past need not be told that there will be many at- tractions and novelties. An effort is being made by Manager "Bob" to have George Young, Margaret Ravior and oth- er famous marathon swimmers present at the frolic but it is not likely that they will be able to come this time. They have as- sured Mr. Fraser however, that they would like to pay a visit to Jubilee Pavilion where they were always welcome, while they were in training at Johnny Walk- er's camp on the lakeshore, just a stone's thirow from the pavilion. He is therefor confident that if they do not attend the frolic, Oshawa will have the opportunity of seeing them at a dance some later date. Brooklyn Subdued by New York Giants New York, Sept. 65--Bill Walk- er, giant southpaw, chalked up Ins sixth shutout and his fif'eentn victory of the year yesterday, as the McGrawmen blanked their cid rivals, the Brooklyn Robins, 3 to 0.

In "The Man in Possassicn" Montgomery plays the part of a a British blade who impersorates a butler in the home of a dashing young widow. For the role he sought advice about wardrobe needs from the Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer research department. To Montgomery's astonishment he learned that the well-dressed English butler must have five complete changes of uniform. For morning wear he has a sev- ere frock coat with a striped vest. Then there is the afternoon uniform with brass buttons, standing collar, four-in-hand black tie and high-cut vest. For evening he wears a uniform tail- ored in Navy full-dress style with low vest, wing collar and black bow tie. In addition he must aiso have an informal uniform with sleeved vest for working about the house and a white-coat- ed outfit for bachelor service or gtag dinners, Sam Wod directed the picturi- zation of the .
