Mr.. Nagely it seems to one
close observer, easily ranks as
the peer of the. West Coast
mines, who have come into new
prominence with the audible
films. He has a voice of mu-
steal sturdiness that registers as
near perfection as any which
have come OUT of the. sound
boxes. Given his romantic mo-
ments, he can be tender, fervent
and appealing without recourse
to the long drawn-out caresses
and back bending acrobatics
which. are so often accumulated
by painful close-ups. However,
I may be Victorian in this
latter view, and then again,
maybe not.

"Beggers of Life" may have
been a great story to read, but
it makes only average screen

fault of Director William Well

of Hobohemia or the selection of
Louise Brooks as the girl tramp,
the net result is an unconvincing
nicture. Louise is a delicate,
soft looking engenue. To imagine
her hopping freight trains or
eating slum gullion in hoboes'
camp is asking too much. She
never looked other than a high
school girl dressed up in her

fication BY Mr.. Ziegfeld and

whether its snappy titles are
lifted directly from Mr.. Me-
Evoy's pages, this deponent

the wise-cracks Of Dixie Dugan4

Sometimes they're coarse but
generally they're funny.
Some more familiar with the
story Of "Show GirIg have com
planned because the screen adap-
ton does. not adhere closely
enough to Mr.. McEvoy's lines.
On that point It might be peril
nent here to quote All Santell
who directed the picture. He
says:
Literal situations IN books
can be used on the screen but
It is impossible to take them
word for word. "Show Girl, is
q word story. not action. Had
we translated it literally to the
film, nine-tenths of the picture
would have been words and ore
tenth action"
We all know action and sit
uation make the picture. Much
can be written subtly which can
not be flashed on the screen be-
cause 6f censorship. No pro-
Queer is living who would not
gladly welcome q story which
could be photographed just as

and thousands Of dollars would
be saved if such q story could
be found. Authors are paid
huge sums for books, but they
would be paid double this amount
If the story could be filmed

Show Grip is classic of
slang, written IN most un-
usual form, but it would be

IOWA DAIRY
INCREASES IN VALUE

AMES, Ia, Dec. l3.-(P-C. W.
Larson. director Of the National
Dairy council, places the value Of all
Iowa dairy products last year at
Sl5f.000. 200. equal to an average in
come of S6Ss for every farm fam
lily in the state.
The significance Of the valuation
was stressed by DR.. Larson, former
chief Of the federal bureau Of dairy
industry. in an address at the dcdica-
tion of the new Dairy Industry
building at Iowa State college. The
old building was erected - years
ago and DR.. Larson pointed o4t that
az that time the total value Of dairy
products in Iowa was estimated at
only $780, 900. 900.
At that time. he said. the value
Of dairy products was about 10 per
cent Of the gross value Of all crops
in the state, whereas last year they
'-ere worth about a third as much
as all crops. Only one other state
produces rs much butter as Iowa and
