ALASKA BOYS MAKING GOOD IN PICTURES

James Brennan has received word that his sons, LeRoy and Richard, are now at Hollywood, where they are en- gagged in moving picture work with the Paramount Company. AS the re- suit of a test made in Seattle recently the two boys were given a two-year contract by that we'll known producing concern. Out of two hundred and some who took the test only eight were chosen and the Brennan boys were among the number. In a recent issue of the Union Record appears an article about the successful applicants and in part says: "LeRoy and Rich ard Brennan, brothers of 13 and 15 years, are comedians destined to re- place Harold Lloyd and the inimitable Charlie when those public favorites are cursed by the ravages of encroach- ing senility and lumbago."

MUCH IMPORTANT WORK DONE BY 9TH CONGRESS GIVES IT
 NOTABLE PLACE IN POLITICS

Farm Loan Board were enlarged, and everything remotely touching agri- cultural interests was assured of lee way if it only had the support of the farm bloc.
 A great deal of this agricultural legislation was showed ahead over the indignant protests of party lead CTS, but the bloc was numerically powerful enough and determined enough to jam its program through, fri respective of party discipline and control.
 President Harding exercised his veto power on two important meas ures-the soldiers bonus bill, which had passed the House by to 1 and the Senate by a substantial majority, and the Bursum bill, which would have increased Civil War pensions The House re-passed the bonus bill over his veto, but the necessary two- thirds were lacking in the Senate by narrow margin of a few votes.
 Tariff Act Is Far-Reaching
 The Tariff act of 1922 is another far-reaching piece of legislation for which the Sixty-seventh Congress al ways will be remembered. After the low-rate Underwood Act, which had been in effect for eight years under Democratic administration, the Re- publicans wrote and damned to en- actment an entirely new system of tariff rates, in many respects the highest in history, and reposed in the President discretionary power to lower or raise these rates.
 The Tariff Act more nearly men, aced the solidarity of the formid- able farm bloc than any other single piece of legislation. It was portrayed by the Republicans as "protecting' the products of the American farm and denounced by Democrats as 'in- creasing the price" of everything the liltl tO Duy uS SDlll was mainly along party lines, there being insurgents on both sides of Congress-
 Two conditions which the farmer has long complained of were reme-. died by Congress in the passage of legislation giving the Federal Gov ernment greater control over the big packing industries, and in regulating the trading in grain futures.

MOVIES

In confirmation of all the advance information that has been gleaned about Rita Weiman's first photopIay written directly for the screen, the Goldwyn presentation of "The Grim Comedian" at the Empress Theater, rouses us to add word of common. dation for the authors admirable work as well as for the fine treatment it has received at the hands of the director, Frank Lloyd, and a cast of excellent players. Though the subject is delicate, there is nothing suggestive or undignified in the story. The drama revolves upon a mothers sacri. flee for her daughters welfare But to reveal the story would be to mar the observers enjoyment. Suffice it to say that te background Is theatri- cal life behind the scenes
 Many of the most beautiful night scenes we have ever seen on the screen show the white lights of Broad. way at their whitest It is said that MT. Lloyd, the director, took his four leading players all the way from Cali. fornia to New York to photograph a few scenes on Broadway. These were taken by Norbert Brodin. The results are well worth the effort. The prin, cipal players in we'll balanced cast are Phoebe Hunt, Gloria Hope, Jack Holt and John Harron.
