GRIPPING film AT
AMERICAN TONIGHT

David Powell as Richard Freneau
in Gloria's Romance" is beginning to
think that man cannot be murdered
successfully unless he wears on his
hands a left glove only. For a long
time poor Mr. Powell has had to go
to the base of the Soldiers and Sail
ors' monument on Riverside drive.
New York, and be murdered every
morning.
"One gets quite accustomed to any
thing - even being murdered every
morning after breakfast, with an adj
miring, horror-stricken audience gag
ing at one!" says Powell; but never
no, never!-should one be murdered
with right glove only covering ones
hands"
TO elucidate: 1t appears that the
glove for Mr.. Powell's left hand was
forgotten on each and every occa-
sion when Director Edwin was ready
to film the murder scene which forms
an important bit in the Rupert
Hughes story that will unfold on the
screen of the American theatre to-
night The first time Powell lost it
himself en- route to the location. The
next time he started out with it, but
somehow it was mislaid while the
players were rehearsing the scene,
that everything might be perfect when
the director called "Camerai" And
still another time Powell, by chance,
brought with him two gloves for the
right hand. instead of a right and
left, as he should have done. The
company of actors. director and cam
eraman would assemble and every
one would be ready for action, and
then a cry would go up, Where is
that left glover"
AS Mr.. Powellis hands register
quite plainly in this murder scene
and the one Immediately preceding
it, when he stops to light a cigarette
and is seen by Gloria from her bou-
doir window, supposedly just across
the way, ii was absolutely necessary
/ that both his hands be gloved, for
| such seemingly unimportant details
as the omission of a glove when the
player has worn gloves on each of
his hands in previous scene, make
or mar a production. Someone al
ways had to be dispatched back to
the studio for that missing glove,
and nine times out of ten the boy
brought back right glove, a white
or light colored one. but never by
any chance did he return with dark
glove for the left hand.
! By the time that the scene you
will note on the screen was actually
| taken, Powell had a nice accumula-
ton of gloves for the right hand only
and he is now seeking someone that
accident has deprived of the left hand.

BEGIN DEVELOP
MENT AT HAYSTACK

C. T. Smith, manager of the Hay
stack Mines Company. leaves today
with material and equipment neces-
sary for good mine work.
The Haystack property has not only
a gold record. but has conditions and
gold-bearing veins that promise, with
development, to make money.
The area owned by the Haystack
Mines Company comprises four full
claims and two fractions. The area
controlled is centrally located in the
mineral belt and embraces numerous
veins, both fissure and of the con-
tact order.
Mr.. Smith will direct work to ex-
plore the large contact vein making
between and with the altered granite.
rhyolite and schist. The richer ore
follows this contact Along the line
of contact the main crushing took
place, and where the gold-bearing
solutions were most effective in re-
placing atoms of rock with particles
of gold and silicate substitution. A
sample of ore coming from the crop
ping of this contact vein, brought to
The Silver State, is rich with free
gold and shows an abundance of syl-
yanite, the form of gold which makes
Cripple Greek famous. The native
gold peeking through the tellurines
and quartz shows liberal display of
the yellow metal.
The sample speaks much for the
future of this property and is not
of the best ore that is being found.
A shaft will be sunk on the contact
vein and it is the view of practical
mining men that within a short dis
tance a larger body of ore will be
opened.
Mr.. Smith, who has a full knowl-
edge of the diggings, is confident that
in a short while he will have shipping
ore and that later prospect work as
sures him the confidence of the pub

assist themselves through cooperation
and said that under the regional bank
ing system farmers may organise ma
tional banks, saving from 3 20 I per
cent on short-time loans. This has
been done, be said. In Montana, with
the result that the farmers are getting
money 70 handle their crops at 8 per
cent. Before this cooperation, !"
said Mr.. Stillman. "the farmers were
paying per cent for money TO pay for
the marketing Of their crops. When
they asked the hanks for 8 per cent,
they were told the banks could not
loan them money for less than 8 per
cent. The farmers got together with
the result that they moved their crops
last year on per cent money.
