The White Front Bar opened with
the polls yesterday morning. Joe
Gross was there at 5:55--five min
utes before the voting began-serv-
ing stimulants to all corners.
The international counted 80 cars
standing in front Of Republican
county headquarters before daylight
and about an equal number over on
Morley avenue in front of Demo-
cratic headquarters.
Both the Democratic and Repub-
lican county organizations were on
the ground bright and early. It was
a great battle from the moment the
polls opened.
j. B. Robinson of George B..
Marsh, Inc, dropped into The In
ternational office shortly after sew
en- bells yesterday morning and said
he heard our LOUD speaker way up
on Marsh Heights at 6 a. m. Said
he thought it was a radio in Phil
Herlods home BY the way, Phil was
one of the Democrats out bright and
early rolling in the votes.
The talk of the town: That big
Democratic parade. 1t was undoubt
edly the biggest election eve event
in the entire state. A Radio Home
man said that during the parade he
saw more life in Nogales than any,
time since he came here two years
ago.
Broadcasting election returns and
getting out a paper all in one night
is one job that we are glad only
comes twice every two years.
Red fire used in the Democratic
parade badly damaged Bob Fleisch-
ers pants. Bob says he may charge
it up to the Democratic committee.
Dad Larcom was as busy as a bee
working for straight Democratic bal
lots.

Tiger Rose To Be
Offered at

On Monday night the National
Theater Players will revive Will
lard Mack's celebrated melodrama
of the great Northwest, Tiger
Rose"
First produced by David Be
lasco, Tiger Rose" brought Le-
more Uric to stardom. 1t is in
teresting to recall that. at that
time, Miss Uric spelled her name
with a final "h"-Ulrich. Viii
lard Mack, the author, played a
role in the original company, as
did William Courtleigh and Pedro
de Cordoba.
Not since the original company
played Washington, ever so many
years ago, have native theater-
goers seen this play. Just be-
fore his death last year Mr.. Be-
lsco expressed an intention to
revive the play-and for this rea-
son prevented any other pro
Queer from having the script.
The National Theater Players
have the honor of being the first
to get repertory rights. Later
the play will be done in the
movies.
The action Of the play takes
place in Canadian a Hudson
Bay trading post. Indians, French
Canadians, Scotch and Irish all
give the drama q cosmopolitan
flavor. The Northwest Mounted,
Canada's famous police force, fig
ures prominently in the play.

Joan Crawl lords
Picture Is
Winner

Those who are familiar with
the origin Of LEFTY LINTON"
Joan Crawford's current Metro
Goldwyn-Meyer feature at the
Palace Theater, will doubtless
marvel at the changes to which
the story has been subjected.
But the chances are that they
will almost unanimously approve,
for the greater part of them GER
tainly have been for the better,
and Director Clarence Brown,
with the able cooperation of a
strong cast, has turned out a
very good picture from material
which was not particularly prom
Using.
The picture tells the story of
q girl who played about too
much before she found real love.
Her past, as usual, rises to
plague her-the past in this in
stance being a South American
loafer, not Argentine, as the
song has it, but Uruguayan-a
touch of originality in itself.
The flesh-pots of Montevideo
have lured the girl overmuch,
and when she breaks away from
them the Uruguayan overtakes
and passes her steamer, New
York bound, by the simple ex-
pedient of taking a plane.
Ultimately she lets him kill
himself, though she might per-
fectly well have prevented him.
and she manages to clear herself
from the shadow of the electric
chair by permitting some rather
disastrous assaults on her reputa-
ton as an alternative. No, 1t is
hardly a picture for the Riddles
about the only moral is that
you shouldn't leave your rubbers
at the scene of the crime.
Joan Crawford and Robert
Montgomery, however, are a most
personable pair, and Nils Asther,
as the South American snake, ap-
pears so richly deserving of killing
that no one worries when he
drinks from the envenomed cup.
Lewis Stone and Louise Closer
Hale are other principals.
A Krazy Kat comedy. which is
titled THE Birth of Jazz" and
which may remind you vaguely
Of Ted Lewis, is an important
supporting attraction. Another
is a Boy Friends" comedy which
teaches one not to have house
guests. The neWsreel shows
some remarkable shots of the
Gizeh pyramids and the Vic
toria Falls, and Of the recent
parade of the school safety
patrols.
