HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 10.-Holly.

Many nightclub operators have
observed as much, looking Sor-
rowfully at the closed doors of
tn cir establishments, whic h
found it easy to do a capacity
business on Sabbath ewes but
couldn't take in enough during
the week to pay for the lights.
The exacting chores of the
studio account for this contre-
temps. The boys and girls who
have made picture work their
calling have to be on their toes
each morning. And they have
learned from observation and ex-
perience that making the welkin

not conductive to an adequate qul'
vive on the morrow.
Spend Quiet Evenings
So five or six nights a week
fone finds Hollywood going in for
mild domestic amusements and
an early pillow. In fact, the
towns no more lively on an aver
age night than-say, cross Sec
ton of the folks living in your
own block.
Many players refuse all engage
mentS while they are making a
picture, setting for themselves an
almost ascetic regime. And some
homes are rendezvous simply be-
cause a quiet evening and a
chance to retire early are guar
anteed.

Laughlin Park is one of these.

Mrs. Cortright is one of those
grand women any actress could
play. All I had to do was to
throw away her lines. The slight
est coynesS would have ruined
things. She was the link between
the audience and the other char.
acters in the story, a sort Of
Greek chorus. She interprets
everything that goes on and be
cause of that, the fans love her.

same. A picture not yet released,

by an hour or so Of conversation.
And the average nightly attend

The pictures are shown in the
library. DeMille sits in deep
chair with a pipe between his
teeth and a big brass bowl on the
floor in front of him to catch
ashes dropped in the dark. The
guests distribute themselves about

last week when he received radio
gram from the group gathered in
Stovring, Denmark, for the 50th ami

late Christian Ostergaard of Tyler,
started the Stovring folk high school
so years ago and while on a recent

Standings of the Teams.

The Askov baseball team won the
first half schedule of the Pine County
Baseball League Sunday when it de-
feated Denham Is to on the home
diamond. The Askov boys went
through the half with only one defeat
against six victories and tied in the
percentage column with Sturgeon
Lake who abdicated several days ago
to enter other competition. Winning
the first half will assure Askov at
least chance to play off for the
championship following the second
half schedule.
Rutledge defeated Sturgeon Lake in
Sundays game to while Willow
River was taking the measure of Du-
quette IL to 3. Sandstone forfeited
its game to Moose Lake 9 to 0. The
Quarry City team is attempting to
sell its franchise to the Yellow Banks
CCC camp and if this is accomplished
that team will fill in during the last
half schedule, although, according to
Glenn E. Olson, secretary of the
League, the CCC team would not be
eligible to compete in the state tour

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD
us there no justice in this world?''

rs there no justice in this world?"
This is reported to have been a
question propounded the other day by
Emperor Halle Selassie of Ethiopia
shortly after his arrival at Geneva
1t was prompted by the fact that in
that same city the League of Nations
Council was preparing to gather for
the purpose of lifting the economic
sanctions imposed upon Italy last Oc-
tober because of her aggressive war
against Ethiopia. Halle Selassie is
not the only one to wonder about the
problematical existence of internation-
al justice, for ever so many other per-
sons in ever so many lands are won
dering, too, at the situation which
may, briefly, be summed up something
like this:
Last fall the League of Nations
solemnly condemned Italy as an ag-
gressor nation and decided to apply
penalties in the form of economic
sanctions which, in other words, are
synonymous with boycotting. Since
the sanctions could not, circumstances
being what they were, become 100
per cent effective-or even so per cent
they did not prevent Italy from con-
tinuing the war or from perfecting
the subjugation of Ethiopia.
And now that the conquest is an
accomplished fact, these same mem
bers of the League Council decide
that the sanctions are to be lifted,
This amounts to a tacit recognition
of Italy's coup; it serves notice upon
the world that the law of the jungle
is still very much alive for there is
as little as there ever nowhere
any factor which will restrain a big
power from swallowing up a small
country whenever it feels like doing
so. It is the very climax of the flu
tility Of the League as it is now or
ganized.

ANOTHER STURGEON,
RUTLEDGE G A ME :?

1t seems to be the popular de-
mand among some of the fans in
the Rutledge and Sturgeon Lake
communities to see another game
between these two teams. Rut-
ledge won in the only game played
between them during the season, 6
to 3 and interest in the Sturgeon
Lake community is pointed toward
the possibility of a reversal of this
decision if another game could
be scheduled.
1t has been suggested that a 6
o'clock game on some Wednesday
evening be scheduled and such a
contest would be sure to draw a
large crowd and evoke considerable
interest.
