comes home regularly to beat his
wife and torture his son and then
gets his.
He gets his, because for three
solid acts and two and a half hours,
his wife and son conspire to let
him have It with a potion of strych-
1ine in his demi-tasse. But it was
Broadway's conviction that the
murder took too tiresomely long. At
any rate, "A Room in Red and
White" is nice seeting for Bor-
gian crime, with its crimson Grapes,
coiling staircase and expensive fur
nishingS.
The other lethal incident of the
week was Chester Erskine'S drama
tization of Liam O'Flaherty's Irish
novel, The Puritan" concerning
the highly moral young man who
Stays a scarlet lady because he
considers it his duty to do SO.
Later, he repents the crime and
moreover, is apprehended by the
police. Turning from the church
and his high moral tone, he tries
to turn over new leaf and finds
it too late. A grim tale, this
would have been exciting murder
stuff it if did not get too deeply
involved in vague rhetoric And
so, consequently, became weak
imitation of Crime and Punish
ment."
Broadway also played host to an
intimate musical, THE Illustrators
Show" a new version of the revue
which was raided by the police
some time ago. There is nothing
in it that will interest the gendar-
merle or even the public except
perhaps, 10 beautiful showgirls.

Director Henry King is going
around congratulating himself that
the production will be ready for re-
lease so soon. With a little bad
luck, he and his company of play
ers and technicians still might be
quartered at the hotel in North
Bay.
Part of the picture, as you know,
was taken at Caliander, North Bay,
and in the babies private hospital.
DafOe Gets Credit
DR.. Dafoe gets most of the credit
for speedy completion of the shoot
ing in Ontario. He forced the movie
people to make haste slowly. At
the outset, he announced that there
was going to be not the slightest
interruption in the babies routine
of sleep, feeding and play. And there
wasn't.
Only the adult cast required re-
hearsels, though, and those were
reid in the hotel in the afternoons
So most of the rare minutes in the
nursery were actual shooting time,
and five reels of film were used. At
that, the quins still are the worlds
highest-paid actresses, considering
the short intervals they spent be-
fore the camera.
Jean Hersholt, the Country Doc
tor in the picture, and Dorothy Pc
terson, the nurse, are seasoned trou-
pers.
Couldn't Remember Lines
"But the first day we worked
those two couldn't remember any of
their lines in the presence of the
kids" King recalled. "They said
that holding the quins in their
arms was the most trying experience
Of their lives.
"They couldn't have been more
frightened if they had been facing
five hungry lions. I mentioned this
to the doctor He said, Well,
they were facing five very strong
personalities!

Edith Wharton's New England tale.
The town still is ringing with crit
ical praise accorded to Ethan
Prone" after its opening night and
Producer Max Gordon may now be-
take himself to his Hollywood
haunts, for he has another hit on
his hands No play on Broadway
this season has so truly touched a
susceptible playgoer's heart or so
effectively caught his eye.
Perhaps you are not yet acquaint-
ed with Edith Wharton's bleak mar
rative. Briefly, then, Ethan Frome"
deals with wretched farmer, tor
mented by poverty and a graceless
wife; and who, thereupon, falls des-
perately in love with the maid-of-
all-Work in the house. 1t deals with
the infinite despair of these three,
with their clumsy lives and their
thwarted hopes and leaves them in
a worse plight than the audience
finds them in the first place.
For this gripping tragedy, Mr.
Gordon has enlisted a heaven sent
trio of principals, consisting of Ruth
Gordon, Raymond Massey and Pau
line Lord Their genius in the pro-
lection of emotional roles are
brought to the fore, here; Miss Cor
zion as the gaudy little wench with
n simple soul; Mr.. Massey as a
Yankee ,Jlowman with glum
tongue and sombre speech; Miss
Lord as a neglected and nagging
wife. 10 Mielziner, a sensitive
draughtsman, has provided settings
that provoke both terror and bliss
in the course Of the night and has
gone so far as to put an embank-
ment of snow and starry sky on
the stage.
Murder Stalks Stage
Murder stalked the stage again
last week in couple of rev, SAN
culinary shows. In one, the victim
is bumped off on Park-av; in the
other, the assassination takes place
in Dublin. No wonder that Broad
ways dramatic critics are now
dubbed the Homicide Squad. The
first of these plays, "A Room in Red
and White" by the actor. Roy Har-
grave, tells as nasty plot as any
horror drama has spun. Something

acts and two and half solid hour

Coquelin, original Cryano of the
stage. Coquelin's own nose was the
snub variety, having concavity in
stead of bridge, so it was easier
for him to accentuate his own de-
formity than follow history.
Richard Mansfield and Mr.. Hamp-
den adopted the Coquelin model,
although the. later's nose is of
aquiline mold.

NEW CHEW is
NEW ALL THRU

A. A. Anderson of the Anderson
Chevrolet Co., today confirmed re-
ports that Chevrolet would shortly
climax its IS years of manufacture
by introducing complete new line
of cars embodying new beauty, style,
safety, durability, and above all,
performance capabilities.
Mr.. Anderson cited official mo-
tice from Chevrolet headquarters in
Detroit, confirming the report that
the new car would be a valve-in-
head six, the type on which Chev-
rolet has concentrated with such
conspicuous success.
More than 100000 Chevrolets
have been produced in the COM
pany's quarter-century of opera
tion," he pointed out. "Of the num-
Der nearly 1000, 900 are still in active
service. 1,125,0OO of the 1896 Models
have been sold this year to date. Ac-
cording to word from Detroit, the

Voters in the three city WARDS
should not let awe of the big ma
tional ballot cause them to overlook
the little one handed them by the
election officials next Tuesday. The
little ballot will be upon the ques-
ton of the special five-mill levy Tor
street improvement work. It only
affects the district inside the city
limits. Every ballot which is not
voted is in effect vote against the
proposition. Every voter should
express his views on the question,
one way or the other. The millage
is small to the individual, probably
not over ten property owners In the
entire city being called upon to dig
ND more than couple of dollars
for it, but the street work contem-
plated will affect every citizen who
comes to town. There certainly
should be more street improvement
work done, and the special millage
is the only way it can be accom-
plished.

EXP. STATION
GREAT HELPTO
IRRIGATION

How the irrigation branch ex-
pertinent station at ProSser has aid
ed in the development of irrigation
agriculture since its establishment
in 1919 was described by Dean E. c..
johnson, director of the agricultur-
al experiment station, before the
Washington Irrigation Institute
which held its twenty annual
meeting at Grand Coulee dam Oct
ober Is and 16.
Practical everyday problems OF
the irrigation farmers are those
studied at the station, Dean john
son said, and as soon as informa-
ton is developed it is passed on to
the farmers by means Of bulletins,
demonstration days, articles in farm
publications and newspapers and
extension service programs and
meetings.
He praised the work of H. p. Sim
gleton, who was made superintend-
ent in 1929 following the death Of
the former superintendent. Single
ton, he said, conducts the expert
mental work with crops and live
stock in addition to the admins
trative duties of the station.
In outlining the achievements of
the branch station, the dean dis
cussed four phases of experimental
work including agronomy, irriga-
ton, horticulture and livestock
feeding conducted there.
The station has developed and Sc
lected strains of alfalfa and sweet
clover best suited to the irrigated
soils and climate of Washington,
and recently introduced corn hy-
birds from the middle west which
have out-yielded all varieties and
local strains. Strawberry clover has
been found to be valuable pas
ture plant for wet saline land since
it grows under wet conditions and
maintains itself during adverse
dry conditions.
A fruit variety orchard is MAIN
tanned for trial Of promising varie-
ties and now contains 40 new var
ieties Of apples, 8 of pears, II Of
peaches, of cherries and 2 Of Or
iental fruits. The total orchard
planting at the station is now ap-
proximately 20 acres.
The site of the station was select
ed by special committee appoint
ed by the president Of the state col
lege during the period between 1917
when the enabling act was intro
duced into the legislature by Mrs.
Ina p. Williams of Yakima and 1919
when the first appropriation was
made. During the first two years
the land was cleared and prepared
with the aid of citizens from the
surrounding community and in 1921
the experimental program was UNI
dertaken. Since 1922, the division
Of western irrigation agriculture Of

seven years out Of the last 10.
The balanced performance Of
the power plant in the 1896 models
is credited with large share Of the
spectacular success which that pro-
duct has enjoyed, Mr.. Anderson as
serted. Our 1896 owners" he said,
report not only ample power for
every possible requirement, but also
durability, and oil and gasoline
economy even after many thousands
of miles. We have it on good author

The only office on the huge bal
lot which voters will be handed next
Tuesday, for which two candidates
are to be voted for is that of repre-
sentative. This district sends two
representatives to the state legisla-
ture. Voters should vote for two
candidates for this office. L. E.
johnson, on the republican ticket,
is one of the candidates to whom
the support Of the voters In this
district especially should be given.
The other republican candidate for
the office is Chauncey Price OF
stevenson, down in Skamania coun-
ty. The district has been ably rep
resented in the past two sessions OF
the legislature by Fred Kemp, Pros
ser miller. Mr.. Kemp is one of the
few men in the last session who pre-
vented the state from becoming en-
tangled with dozens Of wild-eyed
laws which were advocated by the
red element which was sent to
Olympia from the coast counties.
He did a good job there and de-
serves vote of confidence from
the residents in his district. Aside
from the fact that Mr.. Kemp is q
Benton county man, he has made
good in his job. While Mr.. Kemp's
name will be found in the demo-
cratic column on the ballot, republic
can voters may cast ballot for
him, by putting cross following his
name. Inasmuch as two men are
to be selected from this district,
johnson and Kemp can be recon-
mended without reservation.
