Forest City – S. L. Rothafel, of New York city, was here Tuesday. He motored up in the morning and on his return took Mrs. Rothafel with him, who had been visiting her parents here, Mr. and Mrs. Julius Freedman. Mr. Rothafel is probably one of he most prominent men in the motion picture industry in this country, being manager of the Capitol theatre in New York. He started his career here several years ago when he was manager of the Family theatre. Later he went to the metropolis and became manager of both the Rivoli and Rialto theatres. He entered the world of the “silver screen” when it was in its infancy and has grown with it. [“Roxy” Rothafel discovered the “Missouri Rocketts” when they traveled to New York, in 1928, to perform in the Broadway show, Rain or Shine. They were such an instant hit that he persuaded them to stay in New York—and the rest is history.]

Lynn, Springville Twp. – A lady of this place made a rather unusual find recently. It was a set of false teeth lying in the grass by the side of the driveway.

Any one having lost such property will be able to recover it by inquiring at the Lynn store.
