The picture is a n4odernized
screen version of the stage play
'Deburau' as produced By Belasco
some years ago with Lionel At

process of undermining took some
thing away from the story-not
being familiar with the. original
script it is impossible to say but
It falls short somewhere OF being
p success. A superfluity. of sub.
titles would infer that it does not
lend itself well to screening. Marie
Provost and Monte Blue do good
work in the title roles, such as
they are, and here we would pick
another flaw.
The picture portrays in its lead

Permanent CLOSING
POWELL ALFALFA Mill.
IS NOW THREATENED

The news of the likely closing of
the Peters alfalfa mill at Powell came
like a bolt of lightning out of a clear
sky here last week. 1t was learned
that due to the better freight rate
at which alfalfa meal might be ship
ped to Omaha from points in Colo
RADIO, the M. C. Peters Mill company
had written Mr.. Lyall, the manager
of their Powell interests, that the
plant here should in a few days time
be boarded up and permanently
closed. 1t was not the desire of the
M. c. Peters Mill company that this
should be done, as it meant a loss to
them and a severe blow to the farm
ers of the Powell fiat, but they find
that the difference in freight rates
out of Colorado and the ~indisposition
of the officials of the Burlington rail-
road company to make what they feel
to be the necessary concessions in
freight rate adjustments, compels
them to close the Wyoming mill.
The threatened closing of the mill
is very serious, in face of the fact
that there is a total of somewhat
more than 10000 tons of alfalfa hay
on the Powell fiat to be marketed.
There was an immediate prospect of
the opening of the Garland mill in
addition to the operation of the mill
at Powell, and altogether the threat
ened closing is very disheartening to
the whole project.-Powell Tribune.
