Lost Zeppelin" At
Orpheurn Theatre Sunday

"The Lost Zeppelin" a big all
talking special dealing with ro-
nance and thrilling adventures in
the antarctic regions, opens Sun
day at the Orpheum Theatre.
Heading the cast in this produc-
ton are Conway Tearle, Virginia
Valli and Ricardo Cortez. The
story was written by Jack Matte
ford and Francis Hyland and the
dialogue by Charles Kenyon, auth
or of "Kindling." 1t is a Tiffany
Production.
Love is one of the big themes
in "The Lost Zeppelin"-the love
of a young wife for her husbands
aide on an antarctic expedition.
The husband, Commander Hall,
learns of her infatuation just be-
fore the Zeppelin is to start. She
asks him for a divorce. He tells
her to wait until the return of the
Zeppelin.
Reaching the antarctic contin-
ent, the huge dirigible strikes a
mountain of ice and is wrecked. A
call for help is sent out by wire
less and then the radio apparatus
breaks down. Food grows scarce.
All of those in the party except
Hall and Tom Armstrong, his
aide, perish. Then an aeroplana
reaches the scene, and the aviator
explains he can take only one man
back with him. Hall orders Arm
strong to go.

MUSKRAT FARM TO

CROP THIS SPRING

Butte. Mont, Feb. 12.-UP-A
crop that has been carefully Guilt
waited and nurtured for three years
will be harvested for the first
time this spring.
1t is a muskrat crop on the Ed
N. Davis fur farm-probably the
largest of its kind in the north
west-located on the Missouri riv-
er, % miles from Great Falls.
"Y s." admitted Mr.. Davis,
"this is our first crop and we viii
probably harvest between $4,000
and 10000 pelts. Montana laws,
you know, require that fur farms
let their stock increase for at least
two years, before taking the first
crop"
The animals will be taken in
live traps and later killed in ethyl
gas chambers-this latter is par
ticularly recommended as the
most humane death.
Even fur farming has its profit
able by-products. Musk, used as
the base of perfumes, is taker
