NEW ANGLES OF VITAPHONE
 MAGIC IN DESERT SONG"

In no other picture has there been so convincing a demonstration or the possibilities of the Nitaphone as in 'The Desert Scng," which comes to the Bradley Theatre on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and which will 20 down in screen history as the first musical play to be transferred m its entirety 10 the motion picture screen.
 Other "all-talkng" pictures had al- ready been made by Warner Broth CTS. and also many which included singing, but when they undertook the production of "The Desert Song" they were confronted with new problem the inclusion of a large chorus for the ensemble numbers with it's mem bers grouped all over the settings which constituted the scenes of the play.
 How we'll they met this situation is indicated by the fact that the chorus consists of one hundred men and women, and that they bring to the screens first operetta the most glorious ensemble work ever heard in America.
 Many of the singers were soloists who had never before worked in chorus, or who had graduated from that estate into principal parts, and SO great was the number of these that the ensemble of "The Desert Song" might almost be described as a chorus of principals. Sigmund Rom berg's lifting music is played by the Vitaphone Symphony Orchestra.

The Empress of Australia" sails at 4.30 and we are aboard ship at three. What contrast % the average bedlam sailing of a liner from New York. Special boat trains from New York and the West arrive and their passengers go aboard. There are no crowds on the dock. There are no cork popping parties aboard ship. All is quiet and orderly. The dock is al- most deserted. The good-byes to friends are about as exciting as the departure of night boat from Fall River. We say our farewells and step ashore. leaving our sailing friends calmly having afternoon tea.
 On the dock scarce two hundred have gathered to see the Kings son arrive. There are few of the French natives in the crowd. English roy- alty is of slight or no interest to the French-Canadians.

Disappointment was expressed in but

end dealers ordered large stock OF

One dealer stated that most of the

Trading Slow.
Shipments of butter are all in for
the week and business in this COM
modify was unusually dull.
Merchants in pork and lard reported
a dull week, with business picking up
slightly yesterday. They reported that
housewives are buying no more than
they possibly need. The first part of
the week was slow, they announced. A
dozen carloads of pork were shipped in
dealers expect this shipment to last
throughout the week if business makes
q steady rise over Monday and Tuesday.
No change in the business slump was
reported at the poultry and egg mar
kets. I'VE have no comment to make,
other than that last week was pretty
bad one, and that we're hoping trade
will pick up next week" If business
does rise, the dealers said, they will
order fresh shipments. The sale of eggs
was much lower this Easter than sales
during Easter of 1928.
Merchants along B street southwest
reported brisk business the last few

BEATEN CUE PLAYER
IS HERO OF CONTEST
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, Mich, December H.
Spencer Livsey of Los Angeles was the
hero of the fourth game of the world
championship pocket billiard match
played at the Recreation Building last
night, despite the fact that he was
beaten by Ralph Greenleaf, former
world champion, 125 to 106. He gave
one of the greatest defensive exhibitions
of skill as well as brilliant shot making
that has been given by a newcomer into
the title ranks in years. 1t took 20 in
nings, almost three hours of play and
some remarkable playing for Greenleaf
to win. Livsey lost Is points in the
eighth inning, when he made three
scratches in a row.
The former champion paved the way
for his triumph when he broke through
one of Livsey's very effective safetieS in
the fortieth inning. He was trailing
by 106 to los and his cue ball was
lodged firmly sgainst the rail at the
lower end Of the table. No shot seemed
possible, but after long dehberation
Greenleaf sent his cue ball to the side
rail. caromed of. struck the seven ball
and knocked it into the pocket for q
count. He gained excellent position and
ran 10 more to clinch the game.
Two other games were played yester-
day. Erwin Rudolph of Chicago de-
feated Onofrio Lauri of Brooklyn, las
to 81, in 10 innings, and PaSquale Nata-
lie of Detroit conquered Joseph McCAnn
of Jacksonville, Fla, 125 to 80.
