Bell Telephone Cashier
Found Gold Absent
in KIondike.

II any enc should ever say,
"Thar's gold in them hills to
Marcus Blinn, 1890 Cornelius ave-
nue., cashier for the Indiana Bell
Telephone Company, he'd get for
reply, "Thar's gold in them tills."
For Blinn, besides knowing his
"tills," knows his hills" And
knowing both, he is confident from
experience that he's gotten more
gold from "tills' than from hills. +"
Blinn's skepticism of nuggets and
belief in coin of the realm goes back
to Feb. %, 1898, when he joined the
Klondike gold rush and came back
with nothing but a memory of hard
ships, beautiful scenery and a
steamboat mutiny.
A company was organized in
Huntington, w. Va, to explore the
Copper river section of Alaska.
I'VE had purported authentic in
formation that thousands of dollars
of gold had been PANIED out near
Copper river. We left Seattle on the
S. S. Valencia.
Upon arriving in Copper river,
we found it necessary to change our
plans. The boats captain attempted
to unload us OH a small island.
That's where the mutiny began"
explained Blinn.

MOTION PICTURE
GRAND OPERA is
WELL ON WAY
Each New Screen 0peretta
Regarded Step Toward
Finer Music.

BIZ JHitcd Press
HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 9.-The
strong, silent men of Hollywood
have gone, and in their place is the
prospect of celluloid grand opera.
Each new screen operetta is a step
in that direction, although produc-
ers as yet haven't collected enough
fortitude to offer an unadorned
"Lohengrin" or Carmen" as such.
The reasons are many, but fore
most is the discovery that talkie au-
dienceS have shown taste for
heartier fare than continuous
round of hoop boop-a-doop" songs.
Lawrence Tibbett, Americas most
popular baritone, who led the pro-
cession of golden voices to Holly
wood, has a quiet chuckle when he
thinks how some of his best friends
tried to kibitzer him away from
the cameras and mikes"
He finds that the same ones who
wept on his coat sleeve are now
asking him how he did it.
Il have lost none of my belief in
grand OPERA" Tibbett says, "but I
feel that for the first time am in
touch with the great American pub
lie.
The grand opera public is not
great and it is not wholly American.
The motion picture public is great
and it is wholly American. 1t is
not the great unwashed; there isn't
any unwashed in this country.
John Mccormack, the noted Irish
tenor, also found a new avenue to
popularity was opened to him via
the singing films. His first opus
won acclaim both for his singing
and for the sympathetic story.
