THE ROYAL FAMILY
ON PARADE NEXT WEEK
What is most certainly one of the
cleverest displays of brilliant acting
that film audiences have been priv-

Tuesday and Wednesday of next!
week. ' !
“The ‘Royal Family of Broadway" |
is based on the famous play, “The
Royal Family,” by George 8S. Kauf-
man and Edna Ferber. It depicts
the home life of a leading family of
American stage performers.
But it is not the impressive quali- |
ty of the original playwrighting |
alone which makes this play awon-
derful movie, Most of the splendid
attributes of this production are
found in the stirring craftsmanship |
of Fredric March, Ina Claire, Hen-
rietta Crosman and Mary Brian, as’
presentable a quartet of sterling ac-
tors as one could wish for. |
The “Royal Family of Broadway" |
is rich in comedy, romance, pathos
and drama, it is invested with spark- |
ling glamor—it moves with the daz-
zling speed of a meteor.

NEW POSTOFFICE BUILDING
MIGHT BE STARTED IN 1932.
Assurances have been received
from Congressman J, M. Chase that
construction of a new government
postoffice building for Bellefonte is
expected to be started not later
than the spring of 1932. In the
public buildings appropriations an-
nounced by the Secretary of the
Treasury, last week, $125,000 was
allocated for the proposed Bellefonte

earth's surface, Up on Bald Eagle
mountain, or to be more exact in a
slight dip between the mountain
chains, about north of the Clemson
home, is the home of Oscar Shivery.
Some years ago he had a well driil-

ground stream with head enough
that it flowed out of the casing in
the well. Several years ago, how-
ever, a pump was installed in the
well to insure a regular supply.
At the Frank Fisher farm down
Pennsvalley, known by the older
residents as the General Buchanan
farm, are a well and a cistern less
than twenty feet apart. The well
