EVANS ROAD SHOW
COMING JAN. 23-4-5

The Harry Evans Players, a dra-
matte stock company of eight clev-
er artists, who are at present
touring Montana are booked to
play at the Farmer-Labor Temple
in Plentywood for three nights
commencing Thursday, January %,
presenting a different play each
night.
Their initial offering will be a
three act farce comedy "In The
Wrong Bed" which is considered
one Of the funniest plays of the
current season.
In addition to the play, each
night there will be six acts of high
class vaudeville, featuring a male
quartette that has few equals and
no superiors.
Special scenery and paraphar-
MALTA is carried to properly dress
the stage and every effort is made
to mount each play just as pre-
scented in the larger cities.
It is seldom company of this
CALDER visits the smaller towns and
it is imperative that they receive
unanimous support.

NO HOLDUPS OR SEARCHES REPORTED

Business men feel a bit better
this week over the situation. 1t is
reported that several thousand of

be a big boost for business as most
soldiers are good spenders and
they are not all dry like Quarter
master General Melvin.
Your correspondent has heard a
rumor which he was not able to
verify that a young lad has been

to the falling off in business be-
cause of the blockade there have
been no arrests so far due TO his

DENIES MURDERED
MAN WAS MEMBER
OF THIEVING GANG

While in Plentywood on business
during the week Mrs. Georgia Lo-
gan, mother of Raymond Logan,
who was brutally murdered recent
ly by an unknown person or per-
SOILS, visited the Producers News
office and advised the editorial
staff that published stories of the
murder contained inaccuracies re-
garding her son.
Mrs. Logan stated that Raymond
was about 20 years of age at the
time of his death and that he lived
on homestead seven miles north
of Daleview. She denied that he
was mmber of a gang of thieves
as stated in a news story.
Mrs. Logan was unable to shed
any new light on the motive fol
the crime other than stated in pre-
vious issues of The Producers
News.
The Producers News takes this
opportunity to express regret if it's
story of the brutal murder reflect
ed in any way on Raymond Lo-
gan's family or caused his living
relatives any pain. Mrs. Logan is
lady of dignified and cultured APP
pearance and we deeply sympathise
with her in the loss of her boy
under such shocking circumstances.
No trace has yet been found of
Raymond Logan's suspected muir.
derer and The Producers News is
unaware of any efforts on the part
of the sheriff's office to run him
down.

Harry Polk in desperation picked

since it came into possession of

Probably the fact that Lard was

JOAN CRAWFORD IN
DRAMATIC FILM
"Untamed" Gives Star a Chance
At Emotional Talking Role.

Joan Crawford-a restless flame
of a girl, flaring high one moment
and dying down to a flicker the
next-is appearing January 1920
Fl at the Orpheum Theatre in
"Untamed," her first all-talking,
starring vehicle directed by Jack
Conway.
Miss Crawford is one of the in
teresting enigmas in pictures. A
girl who is expected to be gay
and hilarious, coveted for parties
because she can be depended upon
to add to the occasion with a
whirlwind dance or smart line, and
yet who sometimes breaks under
the strain of trying to be "the life
of the party"
People think her happy-go-lucky,
frank, intellectually independent.
Yet she is SO sensitive that a
blunt opinion often sends her into
dark, moody spell which she has
to fight for hours.

the difficulties encountered
in enforcing a law which is

ESPIONAGE INQUIRY ON STOOLPICEONS
ASKED BY WHEELER In RESOLUTION

Washington, D. c., Jan. IA
resolution to authorize an investi-
cation by the senate labor COM
mittee of espionage in industry in
the United States was introduced
in the senate by Burton K. Wheel
er of Montana. The resolution was
referred to the labor committee.
Publicity on plans of detective
agencies laid bare by The Produc-
ers News and the Central Press
Association to blackmail progress
sive senators and congressman
who were friendly to labor and
favored Soviet recognition put a
crimp in the plans of the stoolpig-
cons for the time. If the commit
tee on labor reports the resolution
out, interesting developments are
expected and the plans and plots of
the detective agencies may be brot
out in the open for the first time.
The resolution reads:
WHEREAS various court pro-
ceedings and published investiga-
lions have tended to show that a
large number of private detective
agencies are obtaining large sums
of money from business concerns
and organizations by falsely repre-
senting movements among their
employees, by joining labor organ
izations and advocating revolution
airy methods for the purpose of dis
crediting said labor organizations,
and by manufacturing scares con-
corning radical propaganda and al
legged plans for the use of violence
in industrial conflic; and
WHEREAS these agencies, and
