A 3iE4t national Picture
New Sound Film
Moves Audience
Emotions Swayed by Song and Dia
logue in "Lucky Boy" At
Pannele Three Days.
It is strange what the introduc
tion of sound can do to the emotions
of a movie fan when that sound is
the heart-throb of a stirring human
interest story.
Tiffany-Stahl has performed a
unique accomplishment in their lat
est feature production, "Lucky Boy,"
starring George Jessel which will be
j shown at the Parmele theatre Thurs
, day, Friday and Saturday. They
have combined a powerful photo-,
play, one fraught with laughter,
heart-ache, romance and adventure,
with all the sounds that go along
with these emotional experiences in
real life. The sound eeauences follow
! straight through the picture. There
is heard talking, sobbing, laughter,
singing. George Jessel, whose great
est gift is his wit and his ability
to portray his emotions through his
voice, loses none of the dramatic
force that has made him famous on
the speal-ing Ftage, for his jokes and
, heart-throbbing songs are faithfully
voiced.
The picture is the story of an East
Side boy who has melody and rhythm
in his soul, but little else to distin
guish him from hundreds of boys born

One of the most unusual features
of the picture from an artistic view
point is the photographic and sound
reproduction of a Broadway- musical
comedy chorus. This is really a mas
terpiece. "Lucky Boy" was directed by Nor
man Taurog and Charles C. Wilson.
The sparkling dialogue and titles are
of George Jessel's authorship and
Rudolph Flothow supervised all dia
logue and singing sequences.
Margaret Qulmby plays an appeal
ing and charming role as the society
sweetheart of Jessel, while Rosa
.Rosanova does excellent work in the
role of Jessel's mother. Others in the
cast include Gwen Lee, Richard
Tucker, William Strauss, Gayne
Whitman and Alary Doran.

post of the American Legion held
their regular meeting at the com

ber of matters of the greatest im

Nehawka, Greenwood, Louisville,
Elmwood and Plattsmouth to decide
on the time and place of the annual
picnic for the Legion and Auxiliary
and their families and in which all
of the posts of the county will be
asked to participate.
One matter cf great interest was
the selection of the delegates and
alternates to the American Legion
state convention at Hastings the lat
ter part of August and which will be
of more than passing interest be
cause of the fact that one of the
Cass county L;gion members is be
ing strongly urged for state com
mander. Col Phil L. Hal! of Green
wood. The delegates named to the
state convention were W. T. Distell,
Frank H. Smith and Leo Boynton
while as the alternates Fred Lugsch,
W. R. Holly and Clarence E. Ledge
way were selected.
The local post will also urge the
selection of W. T. Distell of this
city as a delegate to the national
Legion convention at Louisville,
Kentucky.
The post voted that the local Am
erican Legion Auxiliary be given the
power to beautify the Legion square
in Oak Hill cemetery as they may
see fit and which with the ability of
this active body of ladies assures
that this plat in the cemetery will
be made a real place of beauty and
a credit to the two service organi
zations. Commander Lugsch was
selected as the Legion representative
to co-operate with the ladies of the
Auxiliary in the work.
