DELUXE STAGE SHOW AT WARMERS STRAND TO-DAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY 2 HEADLINE ACTS

The management of Wnrners' Strand has booked another Bensn- tional seycn-act vaudeville bill for presentation today, tomorrow and Sunday.
 Headlining this brilliant stage offering is the O'Hanlon-Hambou act Cuban Cabaret with tho Havana Scxtctte and ono of the greatest bands in vaudeville today. An international fayorite this act is one of vaudcvillc's distinctive 7 novelty presentations, n whole show in itself.
 other acts include Foley and IaTour in "A Vaudeville Entrec" Frank Radcliffe & Co.,, in Dark Dolngs," Gould & Robcy in Fun for Fun's Sake" the Austins. "Mu- , sical comedy favoritcS', Duane & That's Different" and Montgomery & Fields in "The LT Parade. Seven big all-star acts that Broad way pays top prices to see brought to Waterbury at the Strands little prices.
 That the minor players are just as important 10 the complete Buc- cess Of u screen production as tho featured stars, is borne out In ayrhe Divorce Racket" screen prcSentation on this program.
 True, James Rennic in the lead ing role, and Olive Borden and Judith Wood in the supporting leads, contribute all their rccog- nized ability in the feature parts, but even their BupcrlatiVc per- formances would not ring SO true were the rest of the cast mediocre.
 Perhaps it is because most of the so-callcd minor players in "Thc Divorce Racket" have had q background of stage experience that lends this picture its graphic 1. realism and rapid development. There are things that are easily learned on the stage which can be learned only with the greateBt difficulty before the camera. It would be impossible to recruit real character actors from among the ranks Of players who have had no stage training.

 Recently some Oregon farmers got in touch with the Forest Bureau with the idea of coming tc Alaska to homestead They were advised that they could not take up homesteads in 16O acre tracts as provided by law-as is generally cus- tomary in any new county They could homestead On five-acre tracts. Needless to say the Oregon farmers are not interested in 5-acre homesteads and therefore they have dropped the idea of conl- ing to Alaska to settle
 Along the Alaska railroad, the Agriculture Department has expended thousands of dollars in promotive etfort-sending MT. Snodgrass out to the States-to get farmers to come to Alaska to sof!le.

Attorney General John Rust@ard

MT. Rustgard is a candidate for reelection to the office of at- torney general which office he has now held twelve years. This year he must explain not only what he has done, but more im- portant to the fishing population of this Division, what he has NOT done.
 In 1927, at his own request, he appeared with Walstein G. Smith and opposed the bill to tax the big catches of fish traps. Tn that hearing, he took the side of the fish trust and was respon- sible for defeating the bill which would have been of great help to seiners.
 In 1929, Representative J. E. Johnson, of Ketchikan, was a. bout to introduce resolution in the legislature directing the at- torney general to test the fishery laws of 1924 which says that there shall be no exclusive grant of the right of fishery" but

every regulation shall be of gen. eral application. Lawyers are a. greed that the fish trap is an exclusive form of fishery and un- lawful under the laws of the United States. MT. Rustgard per- suaded MT. Johnson NOT to in- troduce that resolution. Why?
 In 1881, Senator Wesley l.. Jones got President Hoover to nominate MT. Rustgard to be the federal judge at Nome. But the man who persuaded Senator Jones to do this was P. E. Harris of fishery trust fame, big can- neryman, big trapman. Harris has one fish trap that catches over one million sockeye yearly, on which he would have had to pay a decent tax instead 9f the mere $200. which Rustgard pro- cured for the trust in 1929 when he voluntarily appeared against the trap tax bill.
