Bogalusa Resembles
California, Says Scribe

In speaking of the convention re-
Gently by the Louisiana Federation Of
Business and Professional Women's
Clubs, the Shreveport Journal had
the following complimentary remarks
about Bogalusa:
"From all reports, Bogausa is a
most wonderful little city, whose peo-
pie have delightful idea of hospital
ity, which is exclusively their own.
One delegate, speaking Of Bogalusa,
says that the style Of architecture and
exquisite flowers more resemble
California than any other place in
Louisiana. The program was most in
teresting and helpful, and in order
that nothing would be left undone,'
for the visiting delegates, practically

TRACTOR AFIRE;
CALLS OUT DEPT.

Tuesday afternoon the tractor at
tached to the highway department,
marked in front of the garage of A.
NJ. CessariO on Superior Avenue, and
with engine running. "stood by" for
a supply of fuel. The gas man had
already started to fill the tank when
in some manner the motor caught
fire. The gas station tank was
quickly capped and a fire alarm
given.
The North Side fire trucks nego-
tiated the distance between the fire
and the station in close to nothing
flat and the chemical apparatus ex.
tinguished the blaze before much
damage could be done.
It is a wise thing whenever a cal
owner is having his gas supply re-
plenished to shut off his engine.

sWHAT IS WORTH WHILE" AT
 CAJAX IS EXCELLENT

Based on the idea that a mans real genuine self. the self that decides hls motives is the only thing worth while a truth that hits the spot with most audiences, What Is Worth While" at the Galax proves an interesting at traction.
 The acting in the production IS al most flawless, bringing forward with great effect the general idea of the story. It all relates to a girl who in theory an aristocrat with a long line of ancestors. was unable to love any thing but the real qualities in man. All of the men she knows have been ground out by the mill of convention until they are little more than figure heads Still when the girl really meets a real man, he happens to be far beneath her in outward culture, though with personality as fragrant as spring violets. On account of his lack of the finer graces she urges him into her world, unable to give him up or marry him as things stood.
 The dramatic thing in the story is the result, brought out with much realism by the acting of Louis Calhern, who enacts the "commoner."
 Claire Windsor gives a portrayal full of sweet womanhood, and wins much sympathy at the last for the wife an.l aristocrat who realizes what she has exchanged for the reverend though rough western character.

ALL ACTS GOOD AT THE
 LYRIC FOR LAST HALF

| A charming girl opens the performance | at the Lyric for the last half. She is pretty plus that something else that puts an actor over in vaudeville. Miss Clare Carroll sings some blues in her own way and a song about men, both of which proved quite a hit with the Thursday audience She went off to applause and a good laugh at her last song.
 A well-dressed couple and blacI7face are in the second spot. There is lots of fun in this, but the outstanding feature is the musical offering, where the black face beats the drum. He can everlast- ingly beat a drum. Good music and some trombone musical comedy filled out the turn, which was one of the most popular on the bill.
 A peep behind the scenes is most original. The act starts with the cur tain up on the regular behind scene eff fects Stage effects are lying about, and the manager is arguing with a stage hand Performers are introduced and the thing proceeds. The manager re- marks during the performance were the cause of considerable mirth. As one of the spectators remarked, "He is some manager.
 The violin, piano, accordion and the human voice make up the fifth act, which is billed as act of music and song. The violinist is of the jazzy va riety; the pianist, who also plays the accordion, is full of fine spirit. The singer is the posseSsor of a sweet con- tralto Together, they made up an en- tertaining act. Of all the stage properties, Nestor and Vincent have the most assorted and out landish and the greatest in quantity. They get lots of fun out of the unex' pected and are a very pleasing feature i of the bill.

 "In the field of foreign commerce" he continued, the shrinkage in our ex- ports thunders at the doors of every American home the warning that we have no isolation from the problems of the world.

 Without @ great shrinkage of industry MT Hoover contended, the country could not for generation absorb enough m- ports to balance exports But a favor able trade balance could be continued, he asserted by the reinvestment of the bal ance in longtime credits. Means must be devised, he said, to combat the com petition of foreign combinations for ex- port and import, and he suggested the legalizlng of combinations for import into this country Distinct signs are evident in foreign commercial organizations, he added, of a militancy which calls for a remedy.

 LONG ON COMEDY
By EsTELLE BETHEA HALE

"A Week From Today" a musical comedy satire, and "The Star Rover" a pictureization of Jack London's fa- nous novel, are the outstanding fea- lures of the highly entertaining bill at Loews Bijou for the last half of the week.
 The musical comedy satire carried three separate sets of scenery. Two comedians, who keep the fun going at rapid rate, and a bevy of talented young women offer a number of songs and dances. The act is entirely new, and has only recently been booked over the Loew circuit, and the hit it made with local theatregoers at per formances yesterday is the same as it has made over the rest of the circuit.
 Walter Kaufman. a dancing come dian, appears all by himself in his act called Home Brew.' The audiences yesterday liked it, because it was new and original, and an appropriate num- Der of songs and dances are sand wiched in with the monologue.
 The offering of this popular vaude- vile house this last half of the week Is long on comedy, and Walsh and Bentle, old Birmingham favorites, who are funnier than ever, received several encores for their efforts in an act of new stories and songs.
 bit of old Ireland is introduced when Evelyn and Gertrude O'Neill of- fer their act of Irish songs and stories. This clever couple also render an ec- centric dance number in an original manner.
 The Skating Macks complete the vaudeville bill with unique dances upon roller skates. Courtenay Foote, n Jack Londons The Star Rover" which is declared to be one of the most entertaining pictures that has been seen at the theatre in some time.
