White Cleans Up

George White was one Of the
Hollywood port a tions who
stirred up the Legion of Decency
a year ago. His "Nasty Man"
sung by children, and Your Dog
Loves My Dog" were considered
the limit of bad taste.
This is just to say that Mr..
White was apparently reformed
by his critics. HIS new "Scan-
dals" is discreetly clothed and its
whole mood and manner is such
as to indicate that this year he
decided he would not be a legion
target again. Incidentally those
who have seen the pre-view state
that observing the Will HayS-Joe
Breen decency code resulted in q

Dickens Story
For BeIasco

Man Of Aran," the prize
British Gaumont film that Robert
Flaherty spent two years in the
making on the bleak Aran IS
lands, will be followed into the
Belasco by another Dickens story.
The Mystery Of Edwin Drood,"
opening Thursday.
This novel of Dickens, the last
one written by the beloved Vic
torian master and left half COM
pleted at his death in 1870, was
completed by directors and see
mario experts in as much keep
ing with the spirit of the original
as possible.
Claude Rains, famous British
star, is featured as the psalm.
singing master, and Heather
Angel, English actress, has the
leading feminine role. Douglass
Montgomery, Of the the Theater
Guild Company and the movies,
has another important male role;
and supporting are David Man
nerS and Valerie Hobson.
Many attempts have been
made since the death of Dickens
to complete "The Mystery Of Ed.
win Brood" and it will be in
teresting to speculate how near
the movie ending approximates
the book attempts and the count
less unpublished endings of the
millions who have read the novel.
In New York, "The Mystery Of
Edwin Drood' is playing to capac'
ity houses since it opened last
Tuesday. Miss Doris Arden, win
ner of Variety's box score, gave
The Mystery Of Edwin brood"
three stars for eXcellence.

Louise Erik, Charles Hughs, Red
Stevenson, Dan Anderson, An

Helen Beakle as dance director

WOOD, March 26.
Note to the chamber Of commerce,
to say nothing of the senate: All
joking aside, the rumor about the
moving of the motion picture in
dustry to another State has
ceased to be a rumor. 1t may not
tranSpire this year, but next year
it will and the State Of New Jer-
sey will be the "lucky Pierre" to
house this fifth largest industry
in the world.
Here be some facts startling,
but true: The mention Of Florida
as a probable site was all part Of
a publicity campaign to frighten
the California gubernatorial body
into doing away with the proposed
State tax, for in reality, Florida's
extremely hot summers do away
with any consideration for that
spot. However, while crying "Wolt,
wolf" in that direction, the pro-
ducerS suddenly realized that to
go Eastward, tax or no tax, would
save money due to transportation
costs, sending players from New
York out here, shipping prints
back to the head office for official
OK and various and sundry eX-
penses seemingly small in item,
but Gargantuan in their entirety.
The first move will be taken by
that major or majors, Merto-Gold-
wyn-Mayer, who now have an op-
ton on acreage just outside Jer-
sey city, as matter Of fact, a little
hamlet incorporated and run by
the State of New Jersey. The Sec
ond movers will be United Artists,
coupled with Twentieth Century
with whom they have close affilia-
tion. Next in line will be Fox, and
then Paramount and Warmers,
who both have studios on Long
Island.
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer will make
use of their players, when not be-
fore the camera, in Broadway
stage plays to be filmed at the
completion of the run. When the
show goes on the road lesser lights
will be put into the leading roles,
thereby still making money with
the play.
Here is where you may look for
ward to seeing Joan Crawford as
the first Metroite to star on Broad
way. Her hankering for footlight
appearances has developed into a
colossal yen, which she has salts
fled so far by building a theater
on her own grounds and giving
short plays therein.
The answer to the question,
what will happen to the homes
of the famous who have built such
extravagant manses here for them
Selves?" is that such homes as
those Of William Powell, who has
just expended a useful fortune on
a new home which he has only
occupied for two weeks; Harold
Lloyd's vast estate, Pickfair and
many others Of similar size will
either have to be rented, sold or
just closed up during the stars
working months and reopened for
vacations.
Since this moving propaganda
has become widespread, many
States have made overtures to the
industry, and in most cases, where
the State is fully cognizant of the
Importance and value such an in
dustry would be to them, they

LIVES IN DANGER AS

New leveel breaks sent additional
hundreds of farm families fleeing in

Friday in southern Missouri and

pounded through the levee> on the
Missouri side near Kenneth, in three
places, and fourth break was ex-

The waters rolled over an area ap-
proximtaely mile wide between
Kennett and the levee. Farmers and
their families fled to higher. ground
in advance when warned by national
guardsmen, taking livestock with
stem.
Seven men, including some guards
men, were rescued when caught be-

MORTGAGE LOANS. AUTHOR
lied BY NEW STATE Law

Washington, d. C.-March 8, 1885.
Enactment by the State of North
Carolina Of legislation with respect to
mortgage lending should be of the
very greatest interest to all who are
concerned with the program of the
Federal Housing Administration.
Under the new laws all such finan-
cial institutions as state banks and
trust companies, building and loan
associations and other lending agen-
cies re authorized to make mortgage
loans in accordance with the terms
and conditions laid down for insured
mortgages in the National Housing
Act. That is to say, such loans may
be made against first mortgages in
amounts up to 80 per cent of the ap-
praised value of property and for
periods of as long as 20 years, pro-
vided that the mortgage requires
monthly payments on principal and
interest sufficient to pay it off by the
time it falls due, and conforms in
other respects to the requirements of
the National Housing Act and the
regulations laid down by the Federal
Housing Admin stration.
Under this new state legislation,
all financial institutions subject to the
state law are now placed in a posi-
ton of competitive equality with the
national banks operating in the state.
1t will be recalled that under the
National Housing Act itself all ma
tional banks are authorized to make
long-term loans up to 80 per cent of
appraised values against insured
mortgages. Thus the last obstacle to
complete cooperation on the part of
every financial institution in the state
has been cleared away.
All institutions which have not al
ready done so may now send in their.
applications to the Federal Housing
Administration for approval as lead
ers under the insured mortgage plan.

WANTS N. C. GINSENG PRICES

J. A. Brown, of Montesano, Wash

a friend of his has planted an acre of
ginseng which is now in the fourth
year and that the plants are hardy
and of good size, but he has been
offered so little that he has refused
to sell as prices are less than suffici-
ent to cover cost of raising. Mr..
Brown says that he has seen adver-
tisements of Ashe county herb deal
ers in the paper and would appreciate
them writing him a card telling him
what price they could offer on the
above mentioned product.

Now he has seen all of the visible
mountain ranges. In doing so he has
looked over some Of the most attrac-
tive and picturesque country in this
part of Montana. They are the bad
land brakes along the Missouri river
which winds its way between the Ju-
dith mountains and the Little Rockies
The brakes, dotted with patches of
jack pine and fir, rimrock lodges and
high cut banks, for rough beauty are
hard to beat They TEEN with deer,
lynx, bobcats, coyote and an occasional

Under the spell Of this wonderful
view he is apt to overlook, as he con-
tinues on down the south side, the
abandoned tramway along the rocky
side of the mountain below the road
and the huge ore buckets hanging at
regular intervals along the endless
cable, as though waiting only for the
operator to release the brake, allowing
them to continue their work of trans
porting ore from the mine to the mill
two miles below. The tramway built
by the old August mining company and
worked under the gravity system, the
loaded buckets going down bringing
the empty buckets up. They dumped
automatically, stopping only to load.
He drops on down past the old mill
into the historic mining camp Of Lam
