out at the very beginning of the story.
You start out in 1889 and wind I'D
in 1929. So you see, you follow the
story Of the life Of Yancey Cravat,
his wife Sabra and their children
for forty years. It seems like a long
time, but it never gets tiresome, each
episode leading up to its own def
mite climax.
I am sure that Richard Dix fits
splendidly into the character Of
Yancey as created by Miss Ferber.
After seeing what the movies did
to "Showboat," I was afraid that
something awful would be done to
"Cimarron.
1t took me little time to adjust
myself to Dix's conception of the
character. But the more studied
his work, was sure that he was
carrying out the idea of Miss Ferber.
One can understand why Sabra
loved Yancey so much. Yancey was
combination lawyer and news
paper editor. He believed in print
ing all the news and he did it.
Fights and deaths resulted-Yes.
But the bark of the printing press
had more weight than the bark of
a revolver.
Irene Dunno, an Indiana actress,
had a big job handed her when she
received the part of Sabra. 1t re-
quireS a lot of character shading,
especially since Miss Dunno must
act out forty years in the life of one
woman.
You will also remember her
splendid work in the scene at the
banquet table after she was elected
to congress. Here was fine sincere
acting.
Whether you are acquainted
with Edna May Oliver, or not,
you are going to remember her after
seeing her as Mrs. Tracy Wyatt. She
will panic you and hand you a lot
Of laughs. This woman knows her
business. She just about walks away
with the picture, although her part
is a small one.
Here is a picture that the entire
family should see. Here is movie
theater that is theater.
Be sure and put "Cimarron" on
your must list this week.
Now at the Circle.

AN EXCELLENT CAST
IN PASSION FLOWER"

Passion Flower" brings to the
screen about as good cast as has
been assembled for one picture in
many moons. The three principals,
all formerly Of the stage, entered
the movies via the takers, and
consist of Kay Johnson, Kay Fran
els and Charles Bickford.
Kay Francis, who formerly was
known here through Stuart Wal
ker, steals the picture. She has a
difficult role to play, and she does
it with grand touch. Married to
a rich old man, she falls in love
with her cousins husband, although
she had disapproved of him at first
because he was a chauffeur. Miss
Francis proves several things to me
in this rather unlikable role. She
knows how to act, how to talk, and
last but not least, how to wear
clothes.
Charles Bickford has most SYM
pathetic role. AS the husband, he
can not make up his mind whether
he loves his wife or her cousin, and

ding many hundreds Of millions Of
dollars a year TO the cost Of living
Of the people"
Pinchot explained that there is
considerable difference between an
ordinary business and a public util-
lty IN that ordinary business is
regulated by competition.
"A public utility. by which I mean
an electric. gas. water, trolley. or
other company, is not regulated by
competition, he said. The people
themselves, through charters given
freely but sometimes worth millions
of dollars, permit public service
companies to be monopolies, each
with the whole field to itself.
Unless they are regulated by
honest and effective public service
commissions they run wild, as most
of the public utilities Of America
have done, and grabs every last
cent the traffic will bear.
To establish basic fair rate per
kilowatt hour for the entire country
would be very difficult, Pinchot said,
but added that in no case should
the rate ever exceed 5 cents, and
probably it should often be much
less.

PLANNING
her GREATEST
MILITARY SHOW
Fascist March on Rome
to Be Celebrated in
October, 1882.
This is the sixth article By Webb NIL.

BY WEBB MILLER
United Press STAFF Correspondent

ROME, Feb. 9.-Benito MusSolini
is preparing to reveal to the world
in Rome next year the greatest
display of military power ever wit
messed in the twenty-six centuries
Of history of the Eternal City.
This visual demonstration of
ItaIy's military. strength is planned
for the tenth anniversary of the
Fascist March. on Rome" in Oc-
tober, 1882.
Under MusSolinTs rule Italy is
rapidly becoming one Of the most
powerful military nations on the
continent.
Besides the regular army of 240,-
600 officers and men, the Fascist
militia of $4,000 officers and men
(of which only about $4,000 are in
active service) nearly 100000
youths of between IA and Is years
in the Avanguardisti organization
are given regular military training
Nearly 100000 boys under Il in
the Balilla organization undergo a
mild form of senli-military disci-
pline, drilling and physical training.
The 1930-31 budget as revised
following reductions of salaries of
army and navy officers reveals that
q per cent Of the government
income is spent on regular armed
forces.
To fulfill her ambition to be mis-
tress of the Mediterranean, Italy
is making extraordinary efforts to
expand the navy and render it
modern and efficient.
Tonnage totaling 1928, compris-
ing six cruisers, one flotilla leader,
six submarines and two destroyers
were launched during 1880.
Italy now has in construction six
scout ships of around 5000 tons,
which will include some of the fast
est in the world, ten destroyers and
thirteen submarines.

TRIXIE FRIGANZA
SINGS ABOUT HER DIET

TriXie Friganza, who is appearing
on the Indiana stage this week,
sings about her diet, but she tells
you not to say anything about diet
to her, or it might be the worse for
you. Trixie, who has been on the
stage for many years, and has also
been in the takers, is bound to
bring a smile to your lips, with her
own style of comedy clowning. She
is funny, and she can wear more
clothes at one time than any one
I have seen. She has a complete
wardrobe on when she first comes
out, although you do not know it
until she sheds dress after dress.

The picture, 1.-THE Gang Buster"
with Jack Oakie, presents this
comedian at his best. How he gets
mixed up with two gangs of crooks,
and escapes unframed is really
funny. Jean Arthur and William

of nonsense that will chase the

COST OF ORNAMENTS

In an address at the opening of the re-
cent sessions of the International Chamber
of Commerce in Washington, President
Hoover called attention to the vast expendi-
lures by the nations for ornaments, aggre-
eating nearly five billion dollars year.
This, he declared, is about 70 per cent
greater than was spent for military purposes
before the World War. 1t represents the cost
of keeping five and half million men active
ly under arms and twenty million more in re-
serves.
The President deplored the fact that the
nations felt it necessary to maintain such ex-
tensive armies and navies in spite of their ad-
herence to the Kellogg BRAND pact, whereby
they had renowned war as an instrument of
national policy and had agreed to settle all
their controversies by peaceful methods. He
spoke hopefully, however, of the efforts for
armament reduction which have been and
are being made, and called upon the business
men of the world to aid in promoting peace
Manifestly the maintenance of world
peace is the most important problem that
confronts civilization. Compared with it all
other problems are relatively insignificant.
And whoever by word or deed needlessly adds
to the difficulties of it's solution is an enemy
