Interest will center, in addition to
the production, upon the work OF Rod
La ROGUE as a rich young man who
has more money than brains. La
ROGUE may become a matinee idol
because he has the looks and the way
about SHIN which women like. He
knows how to wear clothes. He looks
like Monte Blue, but Of course is
more polished in manner. In this
movie his work is definite and pleas
ing.
Leatrice Joy is cast as the girl of
the can factory who becomes a great
prima donna, but loses her voice
during a fire. This role is not great
one, but gives De Mile a chance to
put Leatrice on sort of a fashion
parade.
It is not the story which counts,
but it is the way that De Mile has
developed his scenes. The photography
is excellent, as one would expect in

DEAILLE DOES NOT CARE
HOW MUCH A PICTURE COSTS

Cecil s. De Mile is up TO his old
tricks-that Of lavishing money upon
a photoplay.
The latest object of. his wrath in
money is called Triumph" a story
with a moral
From the standpoint Of a produc-
ton builder. De Mile compares IA
vorably with Belasco. When De Mile
stages a Jittle supper scene. he actu-
ally serves real food OF course this
is realism. but it costs money.
Triumph moralizes a wee bit, but
not too much. IT concerns the efforts
Of girl in can factory to become a
great prima donna and the struggle Of
a son Of the idle rich to become a real
man.
De Mile attempts TO Show that
money will not buy an ounce OF
happiness and that real happiness Is
not a matter Of dollar and cents, but
rather a matter of the heart. In
driving home this lesson. De Mile has
staged Triumph on A large scale.
His sets look costly and are. When

Am now speaking OF the Johnny
Hines movie. 1t is a hard job to get
hold Of a new piece of comedy bust
ness. The only chance that a come
dian has nowadays is to develop the
old stun in his own way. and that is
what Hines does in Conductor 1892.
For example, when he loses a collar
button, Hines takes off his shoes and
walks around in his socks until he
steps on the button.
At times Conductor 1892" iss com
edy. and then suddenly it, becomes
melodrama. A fire scene is well han

that Hines is convincing, There are

ERoM THE HURoNITE.

Thomas Sterling is chairman OF the
senate committee on postofflces and
post roads, which apportioned to South
Dakota in 1923 alone q sum OF $1.4s6,-
500 for highway construction. Since
the law under which the committee
functions became effective. South Da-
kota has received a total Of $i,S24,4l1
federal aid. IL Senator Sterling should
not be returned TO Washington In the
coming election, the chairmanship oi
this committee would 60 to the rank
ing member, Senator Moses OF New
Hampshire Senator Moses is known 70
be antsgonistic to federal aid for this
sort OF work, and failure on the par'
OF South Dakota people to return Ster-
ling TO the senate would certainly look
like endorsement OF the New England
senator's stand In road building In
South Dakota.

SPIKES McMAsTER GUN.

The advertising Of the Standard oil
Company that has recently appeared
dicate that Gov McMaster. In his con-
tention that Senator Sterling was the
favored recipient OF the Standard Oh
support in the South Dakota primary,
was on unsafe ground to say the least.
This corporation is taking no side In
the fight, and It can well afford TO let
matters rest where they are.
Early in August, when Gov. McMaster
launched his campaign for cheaper gas
oline. whether knowingly or unwilling
~. he PLAYED directly into the n d
Of the Standard OIL Company. This
came about very easily. Practically y
every Independent dealer In the state
had on hand large supply OF gaso-
line In order to do business at all he
would have to carry stock. He was
not buying distress" gasoline. but was
ptrcnasing as rule from renneries
that had always had his business and
with which he had a credit connection.
Hence, when the larger OIL eompanies
took advantage of the McMaster cut
in price and used II as leverage TO
dispose OF their already oVerfiowing
storage tanks, was there any oppot-
vantage OF this condition. There was
no.. For this reason the enIre heIu
fer the sale OF gasoline In South Da-
kota, and 10 certain extent, the same
condition applies 10 other central and
northwest states, was abandoned by
the independents TO the big concerns.
The effect OF the short sighted policy
Of the Governor Is already becoming
felt, and he now admits ne 10 powerless
TO prevent the rapid rise In the price
OF petroleum products. condition that
this summer viii more than wipe out
all the alleged saving that II Is stated
was made 10 the consumers.
Consider the matter from another
angle. 1t is stated that the cleaning
or the field from Independent competI-
tion without the investment OF one red
cent, netted the Standard OIL Company
100000 10000 in the increased price
Of its stock alone.
Without the so-called gasoline war
McMaster would have had no campaign
issue. His record as chief executive
OF South Dakota is entirely without in
c.dent. other than the responsible y
for a large increase in state taxes. The
facts speak for themselves, and II be-
comes increasingly apparent that South
Dakota cannot afford to make the mis-
take OF sending TO the Senate one
