Liquor Control and Oil Con-

Alcohol Commission were large

the NRA was thrown oat, they
lost authority, and at p4 ut the
government has not contro- what
so-ever over liquor or oil. Prac-
tically everyone believes that it
is necessary to replace these bur-
dens with new and legal ones; but
everyone also seems to have a

Joan Crawford's Party Swaps
Greetings With East

WOOD, Feb. O..
Through the miracle Of the long
distance telephone, the farewell
party that Joan Crawford gave
to Helen Hayes was linked for
more than half an hour to the
birthday celebration that Charles
Macarthur was staging for Alex
ander Woollcott in his New York
penthouse.
Joan's party was in full swing
when the guest of honor confided
that gay times were also going on
in the Macarthur penthouse
across the continent.
Someone's bright idea of max,
ing it joint celebration took only
a few minutes to accomplish.
Helen, joan and Ruth Chatter
ton, on the Hollywood end,
snapped greetings and repartee
with Macarthur, Woollcott and
Noel Coward in New York.
Among the listeners-in out here
were Jean Dixon, Adrian. Jerry
Asher, Franchot Tone and the
Fred AStaires.
Besides being a great friend.
Woollcott is the godfather of
Helen's little daughter, Mary.

Colleen Ready
On Trigger

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 9.-There
seems to be no end to the kidnap
scares going on in the Holly
woods. Colleen Moore, who was
the recipient Of a few threaten
ing missives, thought a prowler
was about her chateau the other
night so she hoped up with the
old family shotgun and was about
to do targetry when she discov-
cred the proWler had skipped.
For those with "Peepin' Tom" in
Stincts, let it be said that Colleen
Moore is known as Annie Oak
ley" to her friends-so be careful
if you value your hide.
Speaking of Miss Moore, her
Dolls House, soon to go on a
tour of the world, with the in
come derived therefrom to be
used Tor the various orthopediC
hospitals, is becoming more lavish
by the day. For the princes bed
room, Colleen took her diamond
necklace, had it broken up and
made into teeny little chandeliers,
while the princess bathroom
floor is of rose quartz and the
princes is of carved jade. An
other addition is the smallest
Bible in the world. For your edi-
fication, this is the most beauti-
full Dolls House in the world,
with the next most important in
size but not in lavishnesS, be-
longing to Queen Mary of Eng
land. Furthe. more, it will be ex-
hibited in England because the
queen requested it, as we'll as in
China. Japan and France. You
will readily understand why they
have insured it for $500, 900 when
you realize that up to date it has
cost over half . million.

London, became very popular for

Produced by Metro GOIdwyn.Mayer
Featuring Ricardo COrtez. Virginia
Bruce and Constance Collier. Di-
rected by George Il. Seitz. story by
Arthur SOmers Roche. Screen play
by Wells Root. Photographed by

Mystery story lovers, spook-
and-thrill devotees and the
great army of cinema fans
have a treat in store for
them when Shadow of
Doubt" comes to town.
All the Well-knoWn chill
getting elements are put to
use of course-but they're so
magnificently dressed in mod
ern clothes, as it were, and
with grand gobs of giggle-
trimming in the form of smart
dialogue.
Highhght of the entire pro
duction is the superb perform
ance of a newcomer, Constance
Collier, a grand old lady of
the stage, who is destined to
become a big faVorite with the
movie fans.
Naturally. the yarn is all
about a mysterious murder.
Practically everyone in the
cast is a suspect, and it's a
pretty safe bet that you can't
guess the answer. Whether
you do or not doesn't matter.
It's swell entertainment.
Plaudits to Associate Pro
Queer Lucien Hubbard for the
class in productions; to Di-
rector Seitz for his splendid
blend of thrills and fun; to
Regis Toomey (seen much too
seldom on the screen) for an
excellent performance; to Seen
artist Wells Root for his snappy
dialogue.
The entire cast, including
Ricardo Cortez, Virginia Bruce,

Isabel Jewell, Bradley Page, Ar

he thanked the people for the wonder
full celebration they had given him.
The speech Of the Very Rev. w. j.
Fitzgerald. Provincial Of the Diocese,
follows in part:
ct affords me great pleasure to be
here with you and to be able to cele-
brate this great occasion of the Golden
Jubilee of Father Louis Taelman, mis-
sionary Of Saint Tgnatius. Yesterday
you listened with rapt attention to the
talk given by Father Sullivan and am
sure that you will agree with me that
in Father Taelman we have q great
missionary as he is great in his hun1il-
ity, and his love for his people We have
before us one of a much carried out
purpose of Christ and it was not so long
ago that all Of these hills and valleys
were filled with red men. It has taken
long and faithful work to convert these
men and among these men who have
done most to bring this great deed
about were Father DeSmet and Father
RavalIi. 1t is on account of their great
work that these Indians have been fill
ed with Christ'S message. But most
of all, we want to pay tribute to this
great man who has labored so years
to teach, preach and nurse these In
dams, the principals OF both civics and
religion. Great honor is felt for you,
the people of this nation, and him, for
we have gathered together to pay hom-
age, together with every great tribe
in the Northwest"
Alec Beaverhead, leader of the Kali
ispell tribe, was next speaker of the
day. He spoke in Indian and his speech
was later interpreted into English by
Lessa, an Indian Of Camas Prairie, |
speaker and interpreter of seven Indian |
languages. MIR. Beaverhead Just ac-
knowledged his pleasure at being able |
to be present at this celebration and ex-
tended the tribute to Father Taelman |
from his tribe.
The next speaker was Peter Beaver
head, son Of Alec Beayerhead, who ask
ed that his people as well as all the In
dians, try and live up to the principles
taught them by the good Father. His
speech was also in Indian.

Saint Ignasius took on the APP

1t was colorful celebration with the
Mission range Of mountains In the
background and thousands of whites
intermingled with their red brothers,
paying homage to this wonderful old
Catholic priest. The people had gath
cred together to formally place the
name of another alongside Of those Of

builder Of Montana history.

came to pay tribute to the pioneer In
dian missionary, who has followed
so earnestly, the footsteps Of his boy
hood hero-saint, who has carried on
the work Of preaching, teaching, and
nursing the Indians-who started so
many years ago with an eager and self
sacrificing devotion.
It was unQuestionably, the most elab-
crate celebration of this kind, that has
ever been held in Montana. It even
surpassed the Diamond Jubilee celebra-
ton Of five years ago, In observance Of
the erection of the historic mission rs
years ago, in the profusion Of array,
exhibits, Indian performances, church
services and in every scope.
From the most remote corner and
the closer regions of the far-flung res
servations had come thousands OF IN

Selfish nation. The celebration was un-
ique, in that it did not embrace any
sideshow or carnival attractions.
