The Lunts Score

Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fon'
tame signed for the movies
while playing here in Elizabeth
the Queen" Their first flicker
for Metro Goldwyn has just been
released. It is Ferenc Molnar's
"The Guardsman," and the con-
sensus of opinion of New York
reviewers is that a smart, So
phisticated comedy has arrived,
one that is brilliantly acted and
retains all of the snappy flavor
of the Theater Guild production.
incidentally Lunt and Fontanne
made this while on a vacation
from Broadway and received $50
900 for the six weeks work. This
is making a vacation pay divi-
dends. Alfred Lunt once ap-
peared in the silents. 1t was in
support of william Fields and

and Mr.. Farrell's inability to make
some of the spurious dialogue
sound real. Indeed, the Farrell
outbursts designed to reflect the
bitterness and humiliation of a
struggling composer can be listed
among the scenes which failed dis
mally of conviction.

London boarding house he meets
Mary Ann, an orphan slavey and
YOU may guess the rest. The road
to fame and the final reel cllnch
has amelodious background.
Romantic Scenes
Director Henry King is at his
best when dealing with the
lyrical motif in the script. He
kept his action confined so long
with upstairs and down and
back room happenings his pic
ture lapsed into dull sequences
When he eventually came out on
the beach for more romantic
backgrounds the story gathered
pace and interest.
Janet Gaynor contributes one
of those tender and moving char
acterizations which she makes so
gracefully appealing. She is
served better by the author than
in her co-worker. But Mr.. Far
rell is adequate enough in the
love scenes, which the ladies
prefer. Beryl Mercer could not
make up her mind to be the
hypocritical landlady of zang'
Wills novel, preferring to adorn
the role with a leavening sweet
ness that made her seem to be
miscast.

Sphinx Pays Tribute

Here's another that certainly
couldn't be used. 1t tells of a
celebrated American actress
who has been playing on the
stage for years and years. She
still thinks she's very kittenish,
however, and insists upon play
ing parts that are just a little
sexy. The people laugh-but
she doesn't know.
A short time back she de-
cided to travel through Egypt.
In regal style she visited the
various points of interest. And
in due tim> she stood before
the Sphinx. Suddenly, as
though overcome by the great
and historic figure, she fell
to her knees before it.
"Oh, wonderful Sphinx" she
cried dramatically, Il am un-
questionably the create est
actress in al. the world. Please
speak to me. Will you speak
to me?"
For the first time, the
Sphinx spoke.
Hello, mamma" it said.
About a Horse,
Here's another that couldn't
possibly be turned into column
material. In a field at the
Hart's Island prison there is
horse, "Doin' Time" He prob
ably had a nicer name in the
days before he was sent to
the island-but that was long
time ago.
He never does any work.
Pensioned by the city, "Doin'
Time" is a privileged character
who goes cavorting about the
field like the big shot he is,
while other horses trudge
through their days toll.
It's strange in a way, because
other horses can't be put in
the same field with him when
the days work is over. He's
too mean and unruly. If a

500 Ball Teams Legion Slogan

Five hundred Junior Legion
baseball teams will compete with
each other during 1881, and the
district champions will meet at
saltwater next July to decide the
state title, according to c. A. (Chic)
zwiener of Ortonville, department
Legion athletic director, recently
appointed state Legion adjutant.
Director Zwiener states that
Junior baseball is growing in favor
every year. In 1928, he said there
were 211 Minnesota teams; in 1929
the North Star State had 1868; and
in 1880 the total reached 401, with
several thousand of boys actively
participating.
Throughout the entire nation
hundreds of thousands of boys in
thousands of Junior Legion base
ball teams play the game every
year under proper supervision. .
Mr. Zwiener declared
while every team hopes to win
in the local, district, state, regional
sectional and even in the Junior
World Series tournaments it is the
aim of local Legion leaders, not to
perfect Just one championship-win-
ming team, but rather to organize
several teams in which as many
boys as possible may play the game
according to honest and sports
manlike American ideals"

There is great hue and cry now being made
that the state will take a six million dollar licking
on the activities of the rural credits board when
its affairs are concluded. That is not surprising.
That's just what bankers said when the state
tics decide loans It is the history of every venture
of government into private business. This depart
ment was designated as an emergency measure in
time of stress and not with any idea that it
make money. 1t was designated to provide money
for farm loans risks that the banks and private
individuals would not take. Leading banks have lots
enough on what they called gilt edged loans, there
no surprise in the information that the cred

The loss can be charged up effort made to

Famous Fishes Go Bye-Bye as
Cans Get Food

One hundred and forty bills are
being fired back and forth before
the California legislature in the
hottest battle of laws ever waged
in that state, and which has
brought sportsmen and conserva-
tionists on one side and the canning
interests on the other definitely to
grips, according to reports to the
American Came Association.
Conservationists, backing the
state department, are fighting to
block the passage of bills to permit
the killing of game by landowners
on their land when and how they
/ please, and to make easier the COM
mercial use of kelp, a sea plant
which supplies food and shelter for
fish along the Pacific coast.
California Conservationists, q
statewide organization, has hurled
bills proposed not only to protect
the sports of hunting and fishing,
but ito save the canning interests
from the inevitable effects of their
own reckless slaughter"
They are claiming that CONNER.
cial fishing is clearing the waters
with purse nets which are some.
times "half g. mile long and sixty
feet deep, and in which Is to e
tons of fish have been taken in one
haul, much of this of use only as
fertilizer"
The wholesale seining of small
fish, and especially of sardines, they
declare, has caused an almost to.
tai disappearance of the game fish
that feed on them. In waters fam
GUS for game fishing no tuna, vel
lowtail or white sea bass of any
consequence can now be found
broadbill swordfish are practically
gone and marlin swordfish are
scarce.
It is said that the commercial in.
terests have thrown their weight
against all bills to change the al
legedly Anticipated fishing laws OF
the state and are seeking a still
more liberal code.
