V & ( ;!. By Lois Owent. One hundred and three years ago America's foremost humorist was born in an obscure little town in Missouri. Samuel Clemens a man who was to become in his 75 years of life the most loved and widely read author of all American literature; a man who was to plead the cause of the lower classes armed with his weapons of wit and under standing; whose vitrolic pen was to arouse the ire of half of Eu rope by its quips concerning tradi tions and royalty came to a long since forgotten couple in Florida, Missouri.

"Night Must Fall;" Jack Bittner stars in the leading role which Robert Montgomery recently took on the screen.
