(By The Associated Press)
MAYSVILLE, Oklahoma, Aug. 17
—Post’s home town is incoherent
with grief. It is not yet known
whether the burial will be here.

has been booked for Sunday at the
Dream Theatre.
Cary Grant, Benita Hume, Jack
LaRue, Glenda Farrell and Roscoe
Karns play the leading roles in the
film.
The picture tells the story of a big
time eastern gambler who goes west
for a vacation. When friends invite
him to buy a partnership in a gamb
ling ship, he refuses, insisting upon
taking the vacation he had planned.
When an old-time enemy, operator
of a rival ship, however, goes gunn
ing for him, he changes his mind
and buys an interest. The rivalry
that ensues opens up an old feud
before matters are finally straight
ened out and the Easterner is per
mitted to resume his vacation with
the girl with whom he has mean
while fallen in love.
Grant plays the role of the gam
bler, with Miss Hume as the girl.
LaRue, "Trigger” in The Story of
Temple Drake, is the rival gambler.
