Some day somebody is going to
discover that Joan Blondell is put

in big Business Grip is brief but
striking.

acts as master of ceremonies, Ken

PonseIIe From Lnndon

Playing the role of Violetta in
La Traviata," with which she
achieved her greatest success in
both London and New York last
season, Rosa Ponselle, American
born soprano of the Metropolitan
Opera Company, will be heard
across the Atlantic a second time
tomorrow afternoon when part of
Verdi'S opera is broadcast over
the WABC-Columbia network from
2:15 to 2:45. Washington time.
AS in the case of Miss PonSelle's
first transatlantic broadcast in
Verdi'S La Fora del Destino" on
June l, the performance will be
on the stage of the Royal Opera
House. Covent Garden, London.
Tullio Serafin. of the Metropoli-
tan, who made his London debut
with La ForZa," will also conduct
La Traviata."
When she first sang the part of
Violetta in London last year, Miss
PonSelle was hailed by the critics
for portrayal unequaled since
that by Christine Nilsson, with
the possible exception of Nellie
Melba'S Characterization.

DURYEA PLANS
TO STAR in
WESTERNS
nv HARRISON CARROLL


tesprgiuht, 1891. Premier Byndicate)
HOLLYWOOD, Calf, June 8.
After a long uphill battle for
recognition. George Duryea seems
TO be getting started on a sub
stantial film career.
He has been signed to a long
term contract at Pathe to appear
In a series Of Westerns. Strangely
enough this the lot that intro
duced him into pictures when
Cecil d. DeMille cast him oppo-
site Lima Basquette in The God
less Girl"
Although none Of the vehicles
have been selected Pate promises
they are to be the oldfashioned
action mlodramas. These, the
studio maintains, always find a
place with the small-town exhibi-
tor, enough to make them a
profitable investment even II the
key cities scorn them.
Like Rex Bell, who is really
George Belden, Duryea is to have
another name to comply with his
new contract and type OF pictures.
This is in the same status OF the
stories, and has not been decided
upon as yet.

From Rum Row

The microphone will journey to
Rum Row for the first time in
radio history tomorrow when a
party Of broadcaSters will plow
their way to sea from New York
harbor aboard an ocean-going tug
and describe for the loud speakers
of the nation just what goes on
beyond the 12-mile limit.
The broadcast will be sponsored
by Philco in conjunction with the
New York Evening Journal. 1t
will supplant the regular broad
cast of the Philco Symphony Or.
chestra that night over the Co
lumbia Broadcasting System net
work, and will be picked up from
a short-waVe sending station
aboard the tug and relayed over
the network at $3.50 p. m, Wash
ington time.
The unique experiment had it's
inception in the nimble brain Of
Tom Brooks, radio editor of the
Journal, one of the great Hearst
dailies. Arrangements for the
actual broadcast. except for the
technical details, are in his hands,
and his nose for news will ferret
out all the details of Rum Row
that will be most interesting to
the thousands of families tuned in
on the broadcast.
The tug will sail from New York
harbor early Tuesday morning,
with complete sending station
equipment installed and in work
ing order. At an unnamed point
in the Atlantic, approximately 40
or SO miles off shore, efforts will
be made to contact one of the YES
sells regularly located on Rum
Row.
Ford Frick, noted news and
sports announcer, will be at the
microphone and will describe all
he sees. Unless seas are running
too high or other circumstances
intervene, microphone will be
run aboard the unidentified vessel
and the captain interviewed,
There are many tales to be told
OF the mysterious ships that slip
ghoStlike along the American
coast, and Ford Frick, veteran
radio reporter, can be counted on
to give radio listeners of the
nation q cracking eyewitness &C
count from the heaving deck.

Stanley Ridges, with the Ma,

one of the unusual men of the
theater in that he is equally at
home on either the musical COM
coy stage, the concert platform
or in straight drama. His ability
to memorize is little short of

Jeanette Macdonald and Robert

has gone East and the nuptialS
are now in that indefinite date
class. For the second time m
as many pictures, Will Rogers is
back in a tuxedo for scenes in

about it is that Will seems to
enjoy wearing the dress clothes
which are supposed to have
always been so distasteful to him

Clarifying Hollywood Again

About once a year some studio
produces a picture pertaining to
it's own craft and to the general
points of interest in the film col
ony.
Such is the story that Radio
plans to release as THE Miracle
City" on their new program. Origi-
nally it was to be known as
Hollywood PaSSional" but obiec-
tions overruled the title.
Howard Estabrook has written
the original story and Mary AS
tor is to be the star. Roscoe Ates
is the only other member Of the
cast chosen so far.
No doubt before the picture is
finished it will contain a long
list of celebrities as this type of
film usually ends up with most
of the notables appearing at
some restaurant or function.

cards.
Others say that folks are more in
need of recreation and that much
of the increase is due to greater
leisure time which is being spent in
card playing. Not the card playing
where money changes hand with
the turn of a card, but the more in
nocent game of bridge as it is play
ed in homes.
The report on the revenue from
stamps affixed to playing cards
shows that a little more than four
and q half million dollars was COL
lected by the government during
the first eleven months of the pre-
sent fiscal year in taxes on playing
cards. This is considerably ahead of
the previous years revenue. In fact
Tire first II months of the present
fiscal year turned into the national
Nogales international., 1931-07-04

treasury a little more than fifty
thousand dollars more than was col
lected during the entire twelve
months Of the fiscal year ending
last July.
There was still another month
to go, and that month is in the
heart Of the summer season, when
folks are taking vacations, and
spending much time in recreation of
one kind or another. From these
figures it would appear that the
revenue from this source will run
considerably higher this year than
last and that your Uncle Sam is
going to get pretty neat sum from
the sale of this particular comno-
dity.
The next time you go into a
game, look at the revenue stamp
on the outside of the playing card
package. See just what Uncle Sam
is collecting on each deck and then
from the figures just given you can
get an idea as to the size OF bust
ness the manufacturers of playing
cards in this country are doing.

The paper carries the full leased wire serv
ice Of the United Press, Of the worlds greatest
news gathering organizations. 1t also has the ex
elusive NEA feature service In Nogales.
In case anybody is interested, it is our idea that

that great outside force is going to make every

President Hoover has decided that
individual Federal income tax re-
turns should be made available to
the states which have income tax

Are Newspapers Helpful?

Roger Babson, known throughout the nation as
an accurate forecaster Of business conditions is out
in the open with some views newspapers, which we
take the liberty Of calling to the attention OF read
ers of the Nogales International
Calling attention to the fact that every new IN
vetion is covered as news long before it reaches the
retail counters and that the market is thus prepared
FOR the product before any paid advertising gets
into The newspapers, Mr.. Babson points out how ra-
dios were sold to the public long before specific sets
were offered for SALE
Them he remarks that he knows Of no business
"that does SO much GOOD and is still little appre-
ciated as the newspaper business" We take our u!r1
paper for granted little thinking Of the service it
renders Then referring to the small country papers,
Mr. Babson says they are performing an economic
function absolutely Indispensable to the growth Of
the country"
The statistician makes personal appeal for
everyone to get behind his own town paper and
boost it" as method to Contribute strongly toward
rhe recovery Of business in your own town"
The remarks Of this fact-gatherer are too long
for quotation here, although it is seldom that such
generous appreciation Of the functions Of the press
appear In print.

A Natural Alliance
Greg. Appiisd FOr)

The American oil industry finds itself in SINH
lar predicanent to-that Of domestic copper Lack OF
tariff protection has ruined the oil producing bust
ness of this country The independent producers are
asking Congress to provide tariff Of one dollar
barrel on foreign crude oil and fifty percent ad
valorem on all refined products
All the oil producing states are expected to get
behind the movement.
Crude oil is now selling at price below the av-
erage cost Of production in this country.
There is a general depression in the American oil
industry.
Hundreds Of producing wells have been capped
and thousands of workers in the American oil fields
and refineres have been thrown out Of employment.
Drilling for oil supplies in this country is
practically at stand-still.
While all this has been going on millions of bar
rels of oil from the Venezuelan fields of South AM
erica have been poured into the American market
These Venezuelan wells owned by the large oil
producing and refining companies of the United
States.
The same condition Of international financing
and dual-ownership prevails in the oil industry as in
the copper business.
The American owners of foreign copper mines
and foreign oil wells prefer to import the alien pro
duct to stimulating production from their American
properties While this gives the international finan-
cers greater profits it is very bad for the general
business of country and for the tens of thous-
ands Of oil workers and copper miners who find them
selves without employment.
The copper producers of Arizona and other states
should form alliance with the independent oil pro-
ducers in the country for obtaining tariff protection
Their interests mutual and their problems almost
Identical
Together they would form combination too
powerful for Congress to ignore.
