The Grand National Steeple-
chase of 1929 will have a strong
IL international flavor with crack
jumpers from the United States,
ireland, France and Belgium to dis
pute the way with home-breds in the
annual March classic.
Although many of the 100 horses en-
tered will be scratched before race time,
the probabilities are that none of che

ner Of the 1929 renewal probably will
net $4,000.
Chief interest for Americans Is the
entray of Howard Bruce's Billy Barton,
American owned and bred, which put
up such a great race last year, fell at
the last fence, but was remounted and
finished second. He is stabbed in the
same quarters he occupied in 1928 and
is under the charge of Hon. Aubrey
Hastings. Announcement of the weight
allotments reveal that Billy Barton will
shoulder l61 pounds, 10 more than last
year.
Seven other American owners have
entered among them IL horses, pur-
chased in recent years with the direct
hope of winning the Grand National.

was thrown away and the singer
had mastered herself as well as her
audience.
1t was during the Brahms suite,
Gypsy Songs" that she first got
near to her audience. There was
a lightness as well as dramatic
toucls which brought out the full
beauty of this group.
She was at her marvellous best in
the folk song group. She gave the
translation of these in her own
characteristic way. And that helped
her to get over the mood of the
songs. She was at her dramatic
best while singing Song of the
Bride" and she was at her saucy
and nifty best while singing of the
sailor lassie who has as many
sweethearts as the lads. This was
in a Sadero number.
was not so keen for London
derry Air. 1t was probably my own
taste and not that of the singer.
The final group was all in Eng
lish, and "As We Part" really was
a sincere benediction.
Her encoreS were given with that
honesty of purpose which proves
that the singer is happy as well as
sincere. There were MANY encores.

am not so much worried over
that fine dumb and restrained con-
cert pose as I am with the natural
dramatic and comedy instinct.
And that is one reason that a con-
cert by Sophie Braslau is different
from most of the others.
This woman lives the mood of
her song and I do not call it an
affected pose. She seems to get very
near to the audience.
Her contralto voice is one of those
large machines that is hard at times
to handle. But she knows how to
shade. She knows the richness of
her voice and realizes mighty well
what her personality will do in put
Ting over the spirit of the song.
The Braslau concert yesterday
afternoon at the Mure will linger
in the memory of those who were
there as different afternoon in
song. I admired the lower register
as well as the higher one and at
times there were signs of a strain.
But this woman'S personality and
her fine understanding of the mood

pleased. She started out with a
heavy one, BasSani's "L'Amorosa
Lontananza" and a certain nervous
ness was detected but this very soon

and rings true. It is more than just
good and spectacular theater, it is
a human account of how men and
women cheated and earned their
gold in Alaska.
There is charm and even histori-
cal significance to this movie story
1t has been produced upon very
large lines. The scenery is there.
So Is the cast, and above all 1t is
nearly correct except as to the hair
cut of Ralph Fobes as Larry and
the manicure of Dolores Del Rio
as Berna.
And so that you will not mis-
understand me this Del Rio woman
has snapped out of just the mere
pose and the pink tea Russian af-
fairs into character that really is
human with the exception of that
manicure impression that she has
even in Alaska.
The characters are not those that
you would meet in the Sunday
school room. They are from life of
6, certain period. Del Rio as the girl
who goes with her blind uncle,
grandpa or whatnot into Alaska for
gold, is reasonable in her way of
putting over the character. This
woman has a fine sense of theater,
although it has not always been
tntelligently directed and controlled.
Here there is intelligent direction
and a eO0d raSnOose
I believe that I am ready to say
that the story is worthy of a fine
effort on the part of the cast as

KIDNEY PAINS AND
RHEUMATISM GONE
Farmer Is Able to Work Again,
After Years of Illness.

Trying to work a farm, while
crippled and in constant pain for
several years, was the hard task
faced by Matt Reiland, Route 4,
Stockton, Ill. He tells of his re-
covery, in the following letter:
Il suffered from kidney trouble
and rheumatism for several years.
My back ached so I could hardly
bend. My head ached, and the
pains in my limbs we're very severe.
1 was anemic, my blood was poor,
and was so weak and dizzy that
my farm work was almost impos-
sible. But today, life looks entirely
different. My rheumatism is all
gone and there are no kinks or
pains in my back, My kidney trou-
bic has disappeared, and my sleep
is not disturbed. I am eating hearty
meals and feel fine in every way.
1t feels wonderful to have good, rich
blood coursing through my veins.
I trace all this change to the day

Lieutenant Frank Owen, head of

rule prohibiting school children

middle of the block does not apply
to newspaper carriers crossing the
street while delivering their paper

Carriers on roller skates or pull

carriers not actually engaged in
delivering their papers must obey
the rules and cross at intersections,

actor.
Mysterious things begin to hap
pen. Warning notes are left in
obvious places saying that nothing
but death will accompany the
revival of the play in which the
star was killed.
In the mysterious scenes effects
are produced that smack strongly
of a Lon Clancy. picture. Horrible
makeups, masks, secret paSSageways
and a burial pit are included in the
chamber of horrors.
This picture is one that the
audience win be at loss to figure
out until the final curtain. The
ending is extremely pleasible, but
one that could hardly be foretold.
Most everyone will guess the wrong
man. The direction and camera eff
fectS are just a trifie too modernistic
in spots. Instead of making things
clearer, at times the ilnpressionistic
photography confuses one.
Laura La Plante, Roy Darcy,
John Boles, Montague Love, Bert

do good work in their parts. No one
