tale he unfolds in the Warner

paragraph. From the creation
of the world, mans inhumanity to
man has been the cause of all
unhappiness and sorrow To this

story in view. has added And IS

The author has awaited himself,
therefore, of two Of history's most
fruitful sources of romance and

says Mr.. anuck, themes for the
most spectacular screen entertain

the great later-day field of dra-

action and poignant sorrow to a
number of film successes. My

the Warner Bros. have made a
production on Vitaphone nothing

A milestone In washington

marked this new week, beginning
Monday, when the National Thea
ter Players enter their Tooth week
of amusement-vendin in Wash
ington. A minor, though second.
airy record, Is also made for the
current season, the new week
marking the sixteenth; in itself q
fairly full season for any stock
company. The early start this
season, fully six weeks ahead Of
other years, accounts for the ex-
tended tour that the Players win
enjoy this season.
For this Tooth week observance,
naturally, a speciaI effort Is being
made. Toward that end David
Belasco was called upon for lease
of the script Of The Girl Of the
Golden West" and 1t is this APP
pealing saga Of one period in the
early days of California, that will
be offered this coming week.
1t Is unusual when a repertoire
company even considers q big
scale production for one week.
The average company must needs
hold itself within two sets-never
more than three, because OF the
time required to build and paint
them. The Belasco opus h s four
sets and about IS characters and
each OF these characters must be
equipped with period wardrobe.
Actors supply their own conven.
tional wardrobe, business, evening,
sports, ETC., but costume stuff de.
wolves on the management.
Not since the halcyon days Of
Izetta Jewell and her troupe at
Polls has a company operated to
such an extensive engagement in
Washington and indications are
fairly apparent Of the truth of
the prediction made two years
ago by a Washington critic: THE
National Players bid fair to be-
come a perennial Washington in
stitution."

BIZ United PrCss
ST. PAUL, Dec. 20.-Minnesota' S
so-called newspaper gag law was
upheld a second time today by the
state supreme court. The court up
held an injunction prohibiting the
Saturday Press from publishing.
In decision handed down in the
case of the Saturday Press, Mime
apolis, prohibited from publication
by an injunction, invoked by Floyd
B. Olson, Hennepin county attorney,
the supreme court ruled:
1.-THE laws of 1925, Chapter 285,
do not violate the due process OF
law guaranty contained in our state
and federal constitutions, nor do
they violate our constitutional pro-
vision for freedom of the press"
Howard A. Guilford and j. M.
Near, publishers Of the weekly,
previously had appealed from the
Injunction, which Olson secured
after he charged he was slandcred
maliciously by the publication, but
they lost their case.
The ruling Of the high court to-
day was on an appeal from an adj
verse judgment in Hennepin county
court.
Several Of the country's most
prominent publishers, backed by the
Civil Liberties Union, have fought
the law which the trainers main
tanned was aimed at the so-called
scandal sheets.

1t is true that cherry trees are not
a-bloom In February in many parts Of
the United States, but there are mock
cherries-"Winter cherries" they might
be called. These are in reality nothing
more nor less than cranberries, but they
make excellent substitutes. There are
plenty of twigs and branches of trees
that can be substituted for cherry tree
limbs. Hatchets come in all sizes, from
tiny miniature ones to big ones for
chopping wood. Cooked hats can be
made from folded paper. In fact, al
most everything can be reproduced in
paper of one kind or another.

any kind of tree to which circles of

twigs. Make as realistic miniature
