 cussiOn from Visitors,

Boston, Jan. 20 tP, - A distin- guishcd defender of jazz and de- termined opponent have crossed each others paths. They are W. Franke Harling, young Boston composer, who has come into prominence with his opera, "The Light from St. Agnes," and the | Rev. Martin D. Knecland secretary of the Lords Day alliance. Both were received within q few min utcs Of each other by Governor Fuller at the state house yesterday. Although they did not meet each had something to say about iazz. Said Harling:
 Jazz Is the pulse of America. Most people associate jazz with road houses. The spirit in America today must express itself and in music that expression comes in the deep throb of the melody that is called jazz. It is unique to America for no other people has this spirit"
 Said Dr. kneelan1, whose mis- sion at the capitol was to oppose pending bills 10 liberalizc the Sun day:
 Jazz is Ethiopia transplanted. It's the tom-tom of the jungle over again. We don't need this jazz. My daughter turns the radio on every night and everything is jazz. even the lectures. It's all excitement. Now they are trying to make it jazz Sunday. It's all fast and furi. ous-and false"

"THE ANCIENT HIGHWAY"

Thousands of residents of Co., quille, Roseburg and other towns In Oregon will be able to say, in the years to come, that they witnessed the biggest log jam ever staged and pictured in the logging country. They saw Irwin Willat and a com pany of 100 Paramount players film the log drive on the middle ford of the Coquillc river.
 Incidentally, the desire to see this wonder scene was so great on the part of the Oregouians that they traveled on foot many miles through an almost impossible wilderness to satisfy their curiosity.
 Actual shooting of the scenes came only after weeks of prepara- ton under the supervision of fam ous logging expert of the north country. The drive was staged in the vicinity of the Baxter and Bar ker lumber camp, and at q time when the river had reached its highest point in years, adding much to the spectacularness and to the danger of the scene.
 All the labor and risks were un- dertakcn by Willat and his Para mount players to immortaize for the screen James Oliver Curwoods story "The Ancient Highway" which will be shown today and Saturday at the Capitol thcatcr.
 The featured players are Jack Holt. Billie Dove and Montagu Love.
