...President put his signature on Senator George Norris' Rural Electrification Bill, under which the Government will lend $50,000,000 in the coming year, $40,000,000 for each of the nine years thereafter for rural electrification.

A. entertainments, lovely French girls, and lots of wine, with a little fighting thrown in to keep everyone in trim. Mr. Brown clowns through this inane plot in a pleasant, fairly amusing way, assisted by Joan Blondell. The stage show, headed by M. Tito Guizar, is incredibly poor.
