OUR CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!
December 24th and 25th
v»’
The solemn question of whether
there really is a Santa Claus comes
in for some highly mirthful con-
sideration in "Miracle on 34th St."
A rare blend of laughter and sen-
timent ,it is the type of picture that
easts a warm and pleasant glow
over the audience. Were the uni-
versal appeal of the story not
enough for an exhibitor to work
with in exploitation, there arc also
on hand such performers as Mau-
reen O'Hara, John Payne and Ed-
mund Gwenn, the latter as a white-
whiskered man with a benign smile
and a conviction that he really is
Santa Claus.
Locale of the story is mostly
Macy’s at New York's 34th Street,
and the period between Thanksgiv-
ing and Christmas serves as the
time.

10, 000 fans. This will be Fort Val-
ley's first big chance to jump into
the national spotlight and more

Annual Football Banquet held i'
the university cafeteria last Tues-
day evening.
Captain's Former Coacli Speaks
E. A. Guess, head coach at
Booker T. Washington High School,
Pawhuska, and former coach1 of
Langston eleven, was the principal
speaker. Coach Guess, who was star
halfback on Hampton Institute's
football team between 1928 and
1932, centered his discussion upon
the desirability of working up to
ones maximum. The speaker char-
ged that the athlete who does not do
his best "is not loyal to himself,
to his team or to his school", Fur-
thermore, he was of the opinio.t that

Mrs. Mae Reed of Oklahoma City
is a visitor in the home of her bro-
ther, G. L. Armstrong, 105East

She will also visit in the home
of Miss Lucille Walker at 410 East

Before returning to her home
she will stop for a few days in
Muskogee.
Providence was kind to the Major Latimers who experi-
enced a frightening accident on Sunday evening enroute Io
Marshall, Texas where they had planned to pick up daugh-
ter Rita Io bring her home for the holidays. The car, driv-
en by Mr. I41 timer, struck the slippery wet pavement down
near Hugo, and turned over three limes, finally coming to '
a slop on the UPSIDE IX)WN. Neither Mr. or Mrs. Latimer ' |
was actually hurt, although they were badly shocked by the
accident, and had to change their plans, returning to Tulsa
by bus, with a wrecker following with the car. All’s well
that ends well, and Rita arrived early in the week, with
Mrs. Eliza Wilson of Chersaw, S. C., mother of Mrs. Lati-
mer, joining the family group on Wednesday morning, for
a holiday visit with her daughter’s family.
Speakitig of families, the T. T. Moores, having had
the fun of completely decorating their house with
hand-made bells and baubles bespeaking the Yule-
tide, arc anxiously awaiting the arrival of T. T.
Moore, Jr., who has just completed his first quart-
er’s college work, and is homeward bound from
Wilberforce . . The whole gang will migrate to
Bristow for Christmas day . . where they will par-
ticipate in a family reunion in the home of the N.
