Others in the cast who do excellent work are Phil Began, who has a special song number; Dorothy Dare, Wini- fred Shaw, who also sings one of the big production songs; Luis AL berni, George Humbert. William Davidson, Harry Holman. Soledad Jimenez, Herman Bing and Flor ence Fair.
 The DeMarcos, famous dancers make their film debut in the pic ture and another novelty is the speciality singing number of the Canova Family.

BING CROSBY IN
 STRAND PICTURE
Featured Tomorrow With w. C. Fields in Para-
 mounts Mississippi" :.

The screens leading opponents of song, comedy and beauty, Bing Crosby, W. c. Fields and Joan Bennett, respectively, vie for hon. ors in Paramount's Mississippi" a flood of mirth and melody which begins a four-day engagement at the Warner Strand theater tomor- row.
 Mississippi" is a story of Dixie in the days when the ladies wore crinoline and the gentlemen didn't enjoy their morning coffee unless it had been preceded by a duel. Into this colorful and somewhat dangerous country comes Bins Crosby, a Yankee youth from Philadelpaia, to claim the hand of his lady, played by Gail Patrick. He won't duel with his rivals for the lady's affection, not because he is afraid, but because he thinks the custom ridiculous.
 Crosby is branded coward by the others and goes off with Fields, the captain of a river steamer in order to escape their taunts. Un- der the tutelage of the clustering old braggart, Crosby rapidly deyel- ops into gun-fghting terror, billed all along the river as the terror.
 The comedy climax of "Missis- sippi" occurs when Crosby discov- CTS that he hasn't loved Gail Pat rick but her little sister, Joan Ben- net, all along. And she despises anyone who duels So Crosby and Fields have to go to work undoinS his reputation all over again.
 Crosby, who has shown definite talent as a comedian in his recent pictures, develops into superb partner for Fields, at the top oi his form in Mississippi" And Crosby's score, composed by Rich ard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, IS just as chock full of hits as "Sne Loves Me Not" and Here Is My Heart" were.
 Queenie Smith, singing star oi the Broadway stage, makes her debut in a supporting role of Mis- sissippi." Melodic diversion is fur nished by the singing of the Cabin Kids. who are featured with Claude Gillingwater, John MilJar and Fred Kohler, appearing in the supporting dramatic roles.

CAPITOL

"The Casino Murder Case" which opens tomorrow at the Capitol theater, a new and entirely different Philo Vance has been presented to the screen to thrill the theater public in s. s. Van Dine's gripping murder mystery.
 The scientific gentleman who solves most puzzling crime in the current picture is our good friend, Paul Lukas, who is always depend- able for an excellent characteriza- ton.
 Lukas is assisted in his detective work by a new leading lady for the screen-Rosalind Russell, a prominent recruit from the Broad way stage who has only been in pictures for short time.
 The baffling plot deals with the eccentric Llewellyn~ family. One member is murdered, another dies mysteriously and two others are strangely poisoned although they recover. It befalls Lukas. as Philo Vance, to discover the guilty pois- oner and, naturally, to cast sus- picion on every one.
 Others in the cast are Ted Healy as Sergeant Heath, Purnell Pratt as the district attorney and Eric Blore as Philo Vance's Man Fri day.
 The companion feature is Rug gles of Red Gap" starring Charles Laughton, Mary Roland, Charlie Ruggles and Zasu Pitts. The pie ture, set in the booming 19OVs. shows how Ruggles, won in a poker game in Paris, upsets the little town of Red Gap, U. 5. A. when he goes democratic in bis way and becomes a gentleman, in stead of a gentleman's gentleman.

 Newspaper work is colorful, TO- mantle and adventurous-at least compared to the everyday exist ence of the average person-and a screen play that takes full ad- vantage of the color and romance of the Fourth Estate is bound :o be good entertainment for the public at large.

One of the periodical la- fncnts of the phiIatelist, rec Vivcd again for the moment, it seems, has to do with the rrippIing restrictions on stamp reproduction. Under existing legislation, only parts of the borders of the design of stamps of the United States may be reproduced on . scale at least four times as large as the actual stamp design and then only in black and white. Foreign stamps may be repre- . duced only from plates that have been mutilatcd to a ccr- tain extent, and then only in black and white.
 The only foreign govern ment restricting the illustra- tions of stamps for philatelic purposes is that of Great Bri- tain. The British restrictions permit illustrations of stamps for philatelic purposes, limit ed to black and white repro auctions under control of the British postal authorities.
 The Spanish War provision- al proprietary stamps of the Michigan Mutual Life Insur- ance Company arc little known. In 1898 the company had offices in Detroit and was probably the largest local inc surancc company. On July s, 9, and II, 1898, the local In- tcrnal Revenue office of De- trOit could not supply revenue stamps. Policies had to be de- liyered.
 From its regular postage stock the company surcharged the following three values: sc. violet brown; 1Oc green and 15c indigo. The hand stamp was a tall "I. R." in Roman letters, and the color of the ink used was reddish violet. The stamps were attached to the policies on the day the policy was issued and the stamp further cancelled with pen in manuscript, "M.M.L.1. e., usually in two lines, fol- lowed by the date "7-9-9S."
 At that time the fee re- quired on Q thousand dollar policy was soc. Commonly eight 1Oc or ten Sc stamps were used; but number of policies carried the 15c stamp, possibly because this stamp was in the stamp drawer at the time. Mir. J. E. Scott, for mer treasurer of the P. F. S.,

was employed by the insur- ance company at that time in a different department. Later, learning of this provi- siOnaI stamp, he was able, through records Of the com pany, to get in touch with pOl- icy holders; and through the source of cancelled policies and policy holders he was able to acquire a number of stamps. Only . small quantity were salyaged.
 Soon after the outbreak of the Civil War in April, 1861, consideration was given the demonetization of the stamps in use by the return to the department of all stamps in the possession of postmasters and the introduction of a pro- posed new issue. This new issue was, of course, the issue of August and September, 1861.
 By the first of June the Federal government no longer recognized pOstmastcrs in the seeded states and postmas. ters in the federal states were notified to treat all mail from seeded states as unpaid mail matter to be held for postage, with instructions to send to the Dead Letter office at Washington such mail as could not be delivered by post payment. Luff records that Montgomery Blair, postmaster general, issued an order late i'm May 1881, requiring all post masters to return postage stamps to the Department, al- though no such order has been found in the files of the department.
 In August, 1861, a circular letter was sent to postmasters in the federal states notifying them of the new issues of postage stamps. They were given authority to exchange these stamps for the demon etized issues, provided they were presented by the proper persons, satisfying themselves that the stamps offered in ex- change had not been previous ly used or sent from any of the disloyal states.
 Several markings were used by postmasters to Obliterate the demonetized stamps. One such surcharge reads. "Old stamps-not recognized" An- other. "Not good for postaGe."
