The Very old
StnHRetnrnS

Typical western heroes and vii
lains of the old school will be seen
with Louise Fazenda in the Christie
talking play, Faro Nell Or in Old
Californy," which will immortalize
comically the melodrama of the
good old Western screen. Jack Luz;
den will be the hero, Frank Rice,
the sheriff; Harry Woods, the gam
bler-heavy, and Charlie Mack the
keeper of the Last Chance saloon.
The picture will be released soon
by Paramount. r.
William Watson is directing this
travesty, based on the, short play
by Willis Steele. Much of the Pic
tlre is being filmed in the typical
desert locations of California, and
the portable recording trucks have
been going many miles afleld to get
the atmosphere of the true old West
-sagebrush, cactus, gun-toting, and
grizzled veterans of the COW camp
and barroom.
Hardened bartenders will wipe
their furtive tears from off their
sandy moustaches, and strong, silent
men of the plains will speak with
husky voices as the pathetic story
of Faro Nell is told. Louise Fazenda
plays the roll of Faro Nell, just a
che-ild of nature, but with heart
of gold.

GEORGE ARLIss will go directly

reel and other short features have
been changed.
The Four Feathers" is the most
ambitious picture brought to India
napolis this year from production
point of view. 1t was two years
in the making and has spots in the
most uncivilized parts of Africa for
the greater part of its scenes. In
these are wild and ferocious animals
as we'll as hundreds Of the savageS
termed Fuzzy Wuzzies" by Kipling.
But despite the spectacular
photography keenly interesting
romance is carried throughout the
picture adding interest such as few
pictures have been able to portray.
The theme has to do with young
officer, played by Arlen, who seeks
to regain a lost honor, and a lost
love The method in which this is
done will supply sufficient excite
ment for even the most exacting.
The story was suggested by A. E.
w. Masons novel Of the same title.
The part of the heroine is played
most effectively by pretty Fay Wray
while Powell, Brook and William
Won Eltz are seen as fellow officers
of Arlen. Berry plays the part Of
a savage chieftain and Fawcett is
pictured as Arlen's stern father.

time scenes of the famous Boxer
rebellion in China and it is this
which affords a setting for the en-
tire story.
GLAND is seen as a famous and
influential doctor in a Chinese city
when. the war breaks out. During
enc of the battles his wife and child
are killed by white soldiers. This
so enrages him that he swears
vengeance to death even unto the
third generation"
His keen knowledge of poisons,
his powers Of hypnotism, and his
ability to employ other mysterious
means Of sudden death, enabled
him to carry out a succession of
murders unlike any in the history
of criminology. He succeeded in
getting every one of his victims but
the last before being caught.
This is another of Paramount's
pictures in which the talking and
Synchronization is near perfect.

FLORIDA IS FACING
FRUIT QUARANTINE
Regulations to Curb Spread
of Fly Menace Are Being
Drafted Here.
BY the Associated Press.

by lHG ASSUCldlSu ILtSSs
Regulations for Federal quarantine
restricting the movement of fruits and
certain vegetables from Florida to pre-
vent the spread of the Mediterranean
fruit fly will be promulgated by the
Agriculture Department just as soon as
they can be drafted into proper form,
it was announced today.
DR.. G. L. Marlatt, chief of the de-
partment'S plant quarantine and con-
troll administration bureau, said today
the bureau staff was at work on the
regulations and that it was probable
they would be put into force tomorrow
Declares Extent Is Limited.
He declared that reports of wide
spread quarantine over the entire South
were entirely unfounded and that no
restrictive measures would be imposed
except in Florida.
Meanwhile at the Capitol Acting
Chairman Wood of the House appro-
priations committee called a conference
of committee members for tomorrow to
consider what action should be taken
upon the recommendation of President
Hoover to make available $4,25O,000 for
combating the pest. Wood said, mas
much as the appropriations committee
had not organized for work at the spe-
cial session, the Presidents suggestion
might be referred to the agriculture
committee, which is organized for bust
ness. .....
He said it might be possible that
number of members of the appropria-
tons group would sit in informally at
the agriculture committee hearings If
the recommendation were referred to
that committee.
A bill is expected to be introduced
shortly, he said. by member of the
Florida delegation to authorize the
transfer of S4,250000 from a $4,000 900
fund provided the Department of Agri-
culture in previous appropriation made
for the eradication of plant pests.
This is an emergency matter and
should be attended to at once" Wood
said.
Immediate Action Sought.
The acting chairman said that the
measure, when reported, probably would
be called up on the floor of the House
by unanimous consent. and if that failed
a special rule probably would be obtain
cd whereby immediate action could be
had on the bill.
