EXPOSITION INTERESTING Attendance at the Pacific South west Exposition in Long Beach is fully expected to reach the predicted million mark, according to informa tion received from the publicity de partment of the exposition by Mrs. F. J. Hokin, society editor of The Cour ier, who called in the press room while visiting the exposition Satur day. It was said that the half million mark had been reached by the middle of this month, and interest in the ex hibition is increasing. Only a general view of the many features of the big show can be gained in an afternoon's visit, and there are many exhibits that invite to a longer study. The general plan of the walled city on the Long Beach waterfront is attractive and the buildings of foreign countries are quite unique, especially that of Guate mala. Belgium, Czechoslavia, Den mark, Ecuador, Higiland, Italy, Japan, China, Mexico, and Persia have sent varied exhibits illustrative of their art, industry and products. France has historical treasures there, including notably, the coach of the Emperor Na poleon. The Persian display of rugs would tempt the attention of anyone interested in that art; the glassware enthusiast would be happy in study ing the Czechoslovakian colored glassware. The New Zealand exhi bition was disappointing as it only contains photographic views and maps of a country that might have sent many interesting things. The new Pickwick night coach in the transportation building attracted much interest and the visitors were allowed to file through the coach and see all its numerous compact conven iences. This “world’s first motor stage sleeper” is soon to be operated on the run between Los Angeles and San Francisco. The art exhibition is especially worthy of a long visit as there are some very creditable paintings, stat uary and textiles on display. During a two-day visit in Los Ange les, the Hokins also saw and great ly enjoyed Colleen Moore and Gary Cooper in “Lilac Time” at the Carthays Circle theatre. This is a wartime aviation peture in which both the star and her leading man have done ex cellent work, with fine support from a talented cast.
