‘.Pat and Mike Blight are twin boys, and they are Irish, as you have already guessed. In fact I might go a bit farther and say that not only are they Irish, but they are also Irish Setters. Sometimes I wonder whether they are Irish Setters or Irish Sitters because that‘s about what they do best, outside of the fact that they are pretty lively most of the time, as Irish Setters are wont to be, particularly Irish Setâ€" ters like Pat and Mike. Anyway, Pat‘s and Mike‘s mother called me up one Sunday when it was awfully cold and people were using the roads to skate on, and said she was going away for a couple of weeks and could Pat and Mike stay with me if they promised to be good? Naturally I said that they could bo-‘ cause in the firstâ€"place I like goodl old Irish names like Pat.and Mike, and in the second place I wanted to help Pat‘s and Mike‘s mother out even though I knew, and Pat and Mike knew, that promises didn‘t mean much and the twins were just as liable to tear up the beds and scratch on the walls and eat too fast and everything else, promises or no promises: Well, after I hunted all anu mikes nouse pecause it was on a funny street that wasn‘t even a street, I finally arrived there and found Pat‘s and Mike‘s mother wonâ€" dering whether I was ever going to come. Pretty soon I heard a lot of noise downstairs and then I knew that Pat and Mike had heard mie come in and would be glad to see me: It wasn‘t long before the two boys were bouncing up the stairs and wiggling all over. Pat‘s and Mike‘s mother told me very explicitly how to tell the twins apart. She said, "Mike is the one that curls up his lips and laughs at you whenever you look at him or speak to him." So I .said, "Fine," because there was no other way of telling Pat from Mike or Mike from Pat. You see, they are both exactly the same age, being twins, and I‘d like to see anyone else distinguish between two twin five and oneâ€"half months old Irish Setters, particularly Irish Setter twins like Pat and Mike. D. A. R. BETTER _ 0 FILMS REVIEW All the way down to my house Pat and Mike acted in a way that "Breakfast for Two. Cast: Barâ€" bara Stanwyck, Herbert Marshall, Glenda Farrell, Eric Blore. Thursâ€" day, Dec. 16. ~If one can accept Her= bert Marshall and Barbara Stanâ€" wyck, this will be diverting enterâ€" tainment, the settings are very lovely and the film is enlivened with clever gags and many laughs. Adults. "The Gay Desperado." Cast: Uino Martini, Ida Lupino, Leo Carrillo, Mescha Auer. Friday, Saturday, Dec. 17, 18. Delightful light comâ€" edy, with the beautiful singing of Uino Martini and subtly ironic touches, make this an unusually fine production. There is much fun, exâ€" cellent singing, combined with excepâ€" tionally fine photography, used with telling*ffect. Mamonlian‘s direction is superb. Family. "Life Begins in College." GCast: The Ritz Brothers, Fred Stone, Joan Davis, Nat Pendleton. Sunday, Monâ€" day, Tuesday, Dec. 19, 20, 21. ° A more appropriate title would be "The Ritz Brothers in College." Those who like the insane antics of the Ritz Brothers will enjoy this bit of nonsense. Family.‘ "History Is Made at Night." Cast: Jahe A DOG‘S LIFE was becoming to any Irish Setter, even to their real dad, Big Pat. I know that both Big Pat and Big Pat‘s dad, Gene, would have been proud of the boys if they could have seen them, because they sat up on the seat and looked at things as we went by just as if they had been riding in big cars for five and oneâ€" half months instead of just a short while, and they weren‘t a bit afraid when we finally arrived and went inside. * Just then the Big Boss came in and asked me which was Pat and which was Mike. That was easy, I told him, because Mike laughed at you when you spoke to him and Pat didn‘t. Right after I said that I turned around and looked at the twins and there they were, sitting right next to each other looking up 'Atmnndhothofthunlwdbi“ grins on their faces and seemed to be enjoying the situation like noâ€" body‘s business. â€" That worried me for a long while, and even Charlie couldn‘t tell Pat from Mike or Mike from Pat, and Charlie is good at things like that, but Pat and Mike didn‘t mind it a bit because they wagged their tails jnst the same and it i @dn‘t call Mike, Pat, and Pat, Mike. The beauty of the whole thing was that when I called Mike, Pat came too, and when I called Pat, Mike thought it was his duty to inâ€" vestigate with his brother. So that simplified matters considerably. Well, both Pat and Mike enjoyed their stay at my house & lot, except for the times I had to prick them with a big hypodermic needle. I knew that they didn‘t like that beâ€" cause neither of them laughed for a couple of hours afterward, but Pat‘s and Mike‘s mother and dad had told me that they wanted that done to Pat and Mike so there just wasn‘t any way around it. Anyway, two weeks passed very quickly and it seemed like no time at all before Pat‘s and Mike‘s mother and dad came over to get them and take them © home, and although they wouldn‘t admit it I think even they had a little trouble telling Pat from Mike and Mike from Pat when they left. because both the boys were laughing, and practically out loud. Charles Boyer, Jean Arthur, Leo Carrillo. Wednesday, â€"Thursday, Friday, Dec. 22, 23, 24. This picture brings us a love story convincingly and sincerely acted by Jean Arthur and Charles Boyer, neither of whom has ever appeared to better advanâ€" tage, and the delightfully refreshing comedy of Leo Carrillo. The direcâ€" tion is fine and understanding, the settings are beautiful and the phoâ€" tography of the best. The scene showing the collision of the ocean lines with the ice berg is spectacular and thrilling. Adults.

Secretary Hughes stated that moâ€" torists who have requested high numbers must of necesssity receive their plates at a later date than those whose numbers occur in the regular run as the plates are made in rotation by the manufacturer and the mailing is done in accord with the run. b An important point was emphaâ€" sized by Secretary Hughes with reâ€" gard to new car buyers.
