SOVIET ARMY CAST
 FOR LEADING ROLE IN MOVIE SERIES

MOSCOW, May 11.-Soviet Rus sia's red army of 100000 well-fed and well-clothed fighters is to be- come part of moving picture TO- nance.
 The films, of course, will contain certain amount of communistic propaganda.
 Vsevolod Pudovkin, leading com munist movie director, who has made such pictures as Storm Over Asia" Mother" and "The End of St. Petersburg" now is preparing for production a series of photo plays based on the communist com bat troops
 'The Red Army is a source of much film material" said .Pudov- kin. There is all sorts of drama in this organization. I intend to make series of five or six dramas each of some nine or ten thousand feet in length. Will there te any propaganda in these films? Well, of course, all our pictures, to a certain extent. expound the com munist theology"
 The new Pudovkin series will not be of the talkie type. They will have sound effects, however. Pudov- kin is not against the "talkies," but he believes that for universal ap- peal the "silents" will continue. Pudovkin has never been to America, but he hopes some day to achieve this adventure, although he has no especial urge for Holly wood.

Sub to Trap Ocean Life
 BeIo,u Pole
Specially Made Instrument to Be Carrie d by
 Wilkins Sub

HULL, England, May 18--A spe- cial instrument to ascertain if mi croscopic life exists under the ice, is to be attached to the submarine in which Sir Hubert Wilkins will at- tempt to voyage across the North Polar basin under the ice.
 The instrument has been design ed by Prof. A. c. Hardy, head of the department of zoology and oceanography in the University College of Hull. It will make a continuous collection of the mic roscopic life, if any, in the waters as the submarine voyages under the ice.
 It is matter of great scientific interest to know if this microscopic drifting life. the plankton, as it is called, which is present in various quantities in all the seas of the world, is to be found in the waters below the ice at the North Pole. a The organism Wiii be caught in a continuously moving band of fine mesh silk netting and carried into a preservation chamber, the mecha- nism being driven by propeller in the water
 The machine will be attached to the hull of the submarine below the bows and reloaded with fresh silk rolls from time to time through a pressure chamber.
 The instrument will undergo its tests in the North Sea before being fitted to the submarine.

W HEN IS LEES
 HOLIDAY? ACTOR REPLIES, YOUTH
Rob ert Am es and Ann Harding Have Leading
 Roles at Coliseum

What is the holiday time of life? The calm era of advanced years when ones battle for success has ended, or the zestflil time of youth, with it's greater capacity for enjoy ment?
 Philip Barry, playwright, declares himself in favor of the early years of manhood or womanhood, when ones mind is keenly tuned to re- ceive the most from every impress sion.
 Time for Meditation "A holiday, then, declares Barry, is not only time of play, but an opportunity for meditation and ob- servance which will enable the in dividual to become acquainted with himself and to determine how to utilize his future to the greatest possible advantage. It was to point this theory that Barry wrote "Holi- day" the stage success of last sea- son.
 |
 Edward H. Griffith, director of Holiday" 8 Pathe picture showing at the Coliseum theatre, agrees with Barry.
 Director Acquiesces T believe, with Barry. that holi- day time in youth is really an ef- ford to find oneself and learn what one wants most to do for the re- mainder of his lifetime" declares Griffith.
 Robert Ames plays the leading male role in this revolutionary yer sion of Holiday" which features Ann Harding in the leading femi- nine role. Others in the cast are Mary AStor, Edward Everett Hor- ton, Hedda Hopper. Hallam Cooley, Monroe Owsley, William Holden, Cheighton Hale and Mabel Forrest.

High Court Rules Against Grain
Firm in Case Appealed From
Barnes County

Ruling that a mortgage taken as

cause 1t constitutes a preference, the
North Dakota supreme court affirmed
a decision of the Barnes county dis
trict court which refused to set aside
a mortgage because 1t was executed
prior to the date on which 1t was
filed.
The higher court held that the date
of delivery of a mortgage, rather than
the date Of its execution, controls.
The action was brought by the
Tenny company. a grain commission
firm, against John w. Thomas. opera

1929, Thomas procured $4,000 from
his brother. Harry, and purchased two
grain elevators at Valley City.
He obtained various sums Of money
from the Tenny company and at the
time the action was brought against
Thomas he owed the firm $21 900

THEATRE

Gary Cooper knows his West! His
knowledge of the modern West,
gained through years of ranch life in
Montana, gives authenticity to his
role in his latest starring picture, Il
Take This Woman in which Carole
Lombard appears with him.
The story. laid in present day
Wyoming and New York, was adap-
ted from Mary Roberts Rineharts
popular novel, Lost Ecstasy" Coo
per, as a carefree, picturesque young
rancher, captivates the heart Of
wealthy. society-weary Carole Lom-
bard, whose father, angry over her
escapades in the metropolis. exiles
her to the Wyoming range country.
Cooper, in II Take This Woman"
wears the bona-fide habiliments of
modern ranchers. His costume blasts
the popular conception of a Western
err. for Gary insists on ~portraying
things as they are. The outfit accen-
tuates his rugged physique, and is. tn
some ways, even more striking than
the Western costume Of fancy.
Cooper explains the favor which
the neckerchief and high-heeled
boots hold with the cowboys. THE
kerchief ordinarily hangs closely
about the wearer's neck. but, when a
cowboy rides behind a herd OF NOV
ing livestock, the neckerchlef is
pulled up over his mouth and nose.
This mask guards against the suffo-
eating dust. It also protects against
sleet and freezing wind.

STATE WEAVES CASE
IN TRIAL OF BOWLES
Oregon Capitalist Ex-Secretary Also
Accused in Death of His
Wife.
By the Associated Press.

HILLSBORO, Greg. March THE
first week of the trial of Nelson C..
BowleS, Portland capitalist, and his for
mer secretary, Miss Irma Loucks,
charged with the murder of Bowles'
wife, ended today with the State
tediously seeking to fashion bonds of
circumstantial evidence about the de-
PENDANTS.
Relentlessly the State has pounded
away at the time elements, attempting
to establish discrepancy in statements
made by the defendants as TO when
Mrs. Bowles visited Miss Loucks' apart
ment, where she was stabbed to death
last November H. Bowles and Miss
Loucks declare the miIlionaire's wife
took her own life after learning of
intimacies of the defendants
The testimony of Gideon Shook,
deputy coroner, that the brown V-neck
Slip-over sweater worn by Mrs. Bowles
on the morning of her death, did not
completely cover the cash in her breast
was the high point of interest in to-
days testimony.
Both the state and defense had con-
centrated attention on the garment,
which evidence shows was not cut by
the blade as it penetrated to the young
society woman's heart
Shook testified today that when he
viewed the body the wound extended a
half inch above the sweater. Bowles
and Miss Loucks showed instant in
terest and the girl leaned forward to
consult with one of the attorneys.
The States contention had been ii
the death was a suicide, the sweater
would have been pierced by the knife
and the garment would have beer
pierced by the knife. but the garment
would have been disarranged in a
struggle.
