Roads Open After
SIS Inches Snowfall
Thermometer Hits One Below
for Seasons Low Mark;
More Snow Coming

County snowplows worked double
time this week to keep the county
roads open for travel. Many routes
were closed early this week but most
of them were open and many were in
first class condition by Wednesday
night.
State roads also were nearly i'm
passable because of snowdrifts Sun
day but the highway department
plows have them open and buses and
trucks were running on schedule be-
fore the middle of the week. Rail
roads reported brief delays because
of the heavy snowfalls.
Many men throughout the state
received employment clearing roads
and streets and farmers regard the
moisture as boon to next years
crops as moisture was needed In
many sections of the state.
Five and one-half inches of snow
fell here Saturday and Sunday, max,
ing a total of Is inches this season
according to N. B. Andersen, weather
observer. The thermometer dropped
to one degree below zero January
for the low mark this winter. 1t ha:
fallen to zero on three other occa'
sions.
Mr.. Anderson predicts late spring
with more snow.

Redwood Man Played
With Bernie Bierman
At Litchfeld High

A picture of Litchfeld High
school football team printed in a
Twin Cities newspaper last week dis
closed that E. o. Beckstrand of Red
wood Falls once shared grid honors
with Bernie Bierman, newly appoint
ed University of Minnesota football
coach.
Mr.. Beckstrand played end on
Litchfield High teams of 1910 and
1911 when Mr.. Bierman was the
promising backfield man who later
followed football as profession until
he now has national reputation for
developing winning elevens.
Bierman and Beckstrand were
members of the Swede Hollow gang
at Litchfeld which yearly fought it
out" with the North side clique in
football, baseball and other sports.
Mr.. Beckstrand also recalls Bier
man on crutches, watching high
school football practice while he was
suffering from bone infection. Later
Bierman dropped the crutches and
joined the squad which made state
high school football history in 1911
by winning games from several of the
states best teams.
Mr.. Bierman later went to Mime
sofa where he became a college star
before going to Tulane. Mr.. Beck
strand has not seen his former team
mate since high school days.

o. L. Kipp Says Work Is Part
of 1888 Program; County
Board Consulted

Highway No. will be relocated in
1888 between Sanborn and Redwood
Falls but will continue to go through
the city on Mill and Bridge streets,
it was revealed Wednesday at the
state highway department office in
st. Paul.
Several highway engineers are
surveying near Sanborn at the pres
ent time and although the exact route
has not been approved, the depart
ment expects to straighten the road
between Sanborn and Redwood Falls,
cutting out eight sharp turns and re-
ducing the distance more than two
miles.
Use Mill Street
o. l.. Kipp, construction engineer,
stated that the route as now being
planned would enter the city on Mill
street and turn onto Bridge street,
the route now in use. The corner of
Bridge and Mill street will be improv-
ed, he said.
He also stated that while the sur
vey is being conducted now, the de-
partment has not made allowance in
it's budget for completing the work
before 1888.
Highway engineers were here two
weeks ago to explain their plan be-
fore the county commissioners who
discussed possibilities of it's, being
moved east to the township line. The
majority of the commissioners fav-
ored the Mill street location.
Straight From Sanborn
Springfield has urged that the
highway be relocated direct from
Jackson to Morton, leaving Redwood
Falls, Window and Sanborn several
miles west of the new route but
touching Springfield and approaching
Morgan. C. M. Babcock, state high
way commissioner, stated that such a
location would be impossible under
the highway amendment which states
that the three towns are to be includ-
ed in the route.
The proposed route would proceed
straight north from Sanborn, elimin-
ating mile west and mile back, to
near the city limits where it would
swing diagonally to Mill street, COM
ing into town just west of the water
tower

Those against it predicted that
a theater audience could not be
found for a play which took more
than five and one-half hours of
actual playing time. How far
they were wrong is shown by the
record. Strange Interlude"
opened in New York at the John
Golden Theater on January %,
1928, and ran for 432 consecu.

Besides the imposing royalties

Crossed 100000

It was inevitable that Holly
wood would glance with covetous
eyes on a play which crossed
more than 100000. Hence
Metro oldwyn-Mayer bought the
screen rights to the O'Neil long
distance drama, Notwithstanding
that it presented technical prob
lens large enough to frighten the
average studio.
So we have Nina Leeds and
her love problems in the screen
version with Norma Shearer as
the heroine, Ralph Morgan, AL
exander Kirkland and Clark Ga
BILE as the three stern males who
tried to make her life happy and
contented. The movies were
obliged to innovate in order to
express the subconscious thoughts
and accordingly those who see
Strange Interlude" as a picture
will also witness the first Holly
wood attempt to screen and voice
the ONeill So-called 'AsideS."
Condensing the six-hour play
into two hours was not the
gigantic problem it appears at
first blush. Eugene O'Neill him
self wrote that the play could
stand cutting, was repetitive in
parts. Some of his long speeches,
particularly character musing, are
of such duration that it was
impractical to include them as
written in the screen script.
Movie audiences would never
stand for long stretches of
dialogue minus action, no mat
ter how brilliantly written or how
sound the expressed psychology
In these long speeches the studio
found the short cut to average
feature length.
While most of the nations
dramatic critics waxed lyrical and
poetic in praise of Strange Inter
Jude" and while it was awarded
the Pulitzer prize, there is a
vigorous minority to dispute an

award for greatness. Alexander
Woollcott christened the play,
THE Abie's Irish Rose" of the
intelligentsia." Strange to say
Hollywood takes this back-handed
compliment as a portend for the
success of the movie.
The Woollcott sheer may be
the very thing to solve the sales
manship problem of Strange
Interlude." For it is the exhibit
tors task to prove that Eugene
O'Neill is not too ponderous, too
cultural, too stepped in psychology
and the mysticism of God the
Father to be appreciated by the
movie masses, and have his plays
accepted as fine entertainment.
This much is certain. For the

the end of Hollywood attempting
to step out of the beaten path
