EARLE THEATER
ROOF FOR
PICTURES

The Earle Theater roof is to
open on Sunday, June IA, for tine
presentation OF motion pictures.
The top OF this newest Of Wash
ington's theaters was built for
garden, and because of this the
many essential attributes neces-
sary for the proper presentation
Of pictures is made possible.
The roof will have a capacity
Of 1900 persons and three high
speed elevators will be in con-
slant operation to carry patrons
aloft. For the protection OF
those who wish to view the Ma
tional Capital panorama $50 feet
above the street, there have been
erected safety screens measuring
five feet in height, so constructed
that the view about the city is
not impaired.
The featured motion picture

charge set at 35 cents, thus do
ing away with the necessity of

ing completed at midnight. Floydt

I see by the papers that
Henry Miller has been named
president of the Actors Fidelity
League with Louis Mann, George
Cohan and Ruth ChattertOn also
named to offices.
What amounts to zero In or
ganizations- now that Equity
dominates actor and producer in
a field without competition is
the Fidelity. It's members are
made up of struggling Mohicans
who staged q memorable battle
in 1919 for the actors inde-
pendence. Fidelity lost and the
loss was made unduly formal q
year ago when Equity cinched
the right to tell the actor and
the producer where to get off.
What happens at these formal
meetings Of the Fidelity, one
wonders?
President Miller probably
calls it to order with meticulous
formality, asks for reading of
the minutes, verifies that there
is no business before the chair,
whereupon they all lapse into
retrospection concerned mostly
with what might have been had

This being Memorial Day,
Mr.. Phillips, is the time not
ripe to recall to the minds Of
your readers the dear departed
things Of yesteryear's movies?
(ProbabIy but go on: Mr..
Phillips).
Let us, then, reflect upon the
old-time people and things for
. while?
With the modern opposition
of AiIeen Pringle, Nita Naldi
and Betty Compson, what chance
would an old-time vamp have
today? / don't mean Theda.
Theda's coming back to the art

But think of her competitors
in the days gone by. Miss
Miss well, the name slips my
mind.
Reflect, also, upon the old
time, slapstick comedian of the
movies. Charlie Chaplin is the
only one who survives. Well,
we, might say that other sur
viyors are Ben Turpin, Ford
Sterling, AL st. John, Harold
Lloyd. But the Old-time come
dian has gone.
And the leading men? The
old ones weren't as gOOd-lOOk-

was Bushman-King BaggOtt,
too, and Harold Lockwood. Do
you see what / mean, Mr.. Phil

No doubt this appeals to You
now as a rather crude piece of
sarcasm, but let me make my
point clear:

Gains $3S,OOO,OO In
Grain Values Over 1923
Increased Prices for Corn Brings To-
tai to STA, zoo, O0O-Wheat
Shows Profit of zoe Per Blu.

Minnesota farmers realized $685.
100000 more on their corn, wheat
and oats this year than in 1923, ac-
cording to the Sears-Roebuck Agri-
cultural Foundation which reports
that the national increase in grain
values amount to $55O,000,000. Oats
alone were responsible for a gain of
271a millions, while wheat brought
farmers of this state an added four
/ millions and corn an extra seven mil
lions over last year, the report states.
While the Minnesota corn crop for
1924 fell considerably below that of
the preceding year, the better price
this year brought the total income to
$114, 100000, as compared with
$107, 100000 the year before.
The two million bushel increase in
the wheat crop this year brought the
value up to $25,O0O,O00 as compared
with $21, 100000 in 1923.
The oat crop of this state this year
is up to 1873 million bushels as COM
pared to 1853 million the year before
with the result that farmers will have
taken in 10 n million dollars on this
crop as compared with 46 millions
the year before.
The yield per acre on corn in
Minnesota the report states, dropped
to 26 bushels per acre as result of
unfavorable weather, but the profit
per bushel to the farmer was 10
cents as compared with 8 cents in
1928.
The wet days, on the other hand,
were a great help to the wheat and
oats production, the former rising to
1877 bushels per acre as compared
with IL the year before, and the lat
ter to 44.2 from 81 in 1923. The
profit per bushel of wheat this year
was 20 cents where only 13 cents was
taken last year and 10 cents profit in
oats for the 5 cent loss of the pre-
ceding year.
The increased yield per acre OF
small grain and the increased price
per bushel on all grains has aided ma.
terially in restoring the farmer to a
better financial basis, the foundation
report concludes. The higher grain
prices have resulted in higher live
stock prices and this has brought
new vitality to agriculture.
