CAIN AND MABEL
 AT STATE TODAY
Marion Davies and Clark Gable Starred in ROl-
 licking Comedy

Lifting music, magnificent spec tacles, rollicking comedy, thrills and romance combine to form the rare entertainment to be found in Cain and Mabel" which begins a four-day engagement at Warner Brothers State theater today.
 These ingredients, added to the fine performances of its two fa- nous stars, Marion Davies and Clark Gable drought together for the first time by public dennand), 1, and that of an exceptionally tale ented supporting cast, make this picture one of the outstanding screen productions of the year.
 One of the big features of the musical comedy is sensational number called Thousand Love Songs," which for sheer beauty, novelty and magnitude of its scope, is truly remarkable. Staged by the famous dance director, Bobby Connolly, it is really six numbers combined in one, there being that many different set- tings and backgrounds.
 Miss Davies, with Charles Teske, the famous ballet dancer, as her partner, heads one hum dred and sixty chorus girls in a series of intricate and spectacu- lar dance routines.
 "I'll Sing You a Thousand Love Songs" is the theme song of the number, sung by David Carlyle, and with its music forming a Hitting background running through out the piece. There are also five other popular airs, all of which add to the glamor of the set.
 Still another magnificent num- Der is the "Coney Island" speciality act, filled with song and dance and I hilarious laughter.
 Based on the story of H. c. Witwer, who wrote SO familiarly of Broadway and the fight arena, the plot carries more substance than that of the usual musical comedy. The romance is woven about Miss Davies ae a beauti- full waitress who rises to stardom on the musical comedy stage and Gable as a heroic youth who bat- ties his way to fame in the prize ring.
 Gable is responsible for most of the thrilling action. No fiercer film battles have ever been fought than those in which he is matched with professional boxers.
 Among those who add greatly to the hilarious laughter of the production are Allen Jenkins, Ros- COG Karns, Walter Catlett, David Carlyle, Hobart Cavanaugh, Ruth Ronnelly and William Collier, ST.
 The companion feature is "I'd Give My Life", a melodrama that will grip your heart strings. Tom Brown, Frances Drake and Sir Guy Standing head a remarkably fine cast. Follow the Init parade" al the State! Always @ great show week after weeki

COLD WAVE HITS
PRAIRIE SECTION

Evidently determined, in some meas
ure at least, to %"atone" for his belat-
ed visit, Old Man Winter knocked with
a vengeance for admittance to Sheri-
dan county last Sunday while mcst
people were snugly wrapped in heavy
blankets and enjoying a late Sabbath
morning nooze.
81 degrees below zero, official tenn
perature recordings showed, which
probably hits close to a record fol
early December. Relief was not long
in coming however. BY Monday the
mercury had travelled all the way back
to zero.
Accompanying the cold snap in mos.
sections of the northwest came a heavy
snowfall. The vicinity of Havre is re-
ported to have 10 to Ia inches and
| heavily drifted roads. In eastern Nortf
Dakota and all through Minnesota
there was also heavy precipitation. On
ly eastern Montana and western North
Dakota had very little moisture
Stockmen were not at all disappoint-
ed. Livestock is still ranging the coun
tryside picking what available feed il
left, and because of the scarcity o
feed, it was hoped there would be ever
further delay in snowfall which woulc
drive stock to shelter for feed.

LAND TRANSFER
HALTED BY BOARD

Efforts of the Lions club to secure
a r~ecreational park as a WPA project
have been temporarily halted at least
through refusal of the state land board
to transfer land neal the city of Plen-
tywood for that purpose.
II had been proposed by the Lions
club hat an exchange of the proposed
site owned by the state be exchanged
for an equal value of land in another
section of the county. Petitions were
circulated in Plentywood and signeo
by 365 residents of the city protesting
against the abandoning of the swim
ming pool, picnic grounds, and park
within the city limits" 1t was in rec
ignition of this petition that the land
board based its action last week.
Officers of the Lions club asserted
the petitions were misleading" in that
they had never proposed or thought OF
suggesting the swimming pool Oh pic
mic grounds within the city be aban-
doned. They also commended that many
signers of the petitions had affixed
their signature with this in mind, ano
undoubtedly would not have done Sc
had they fully understood the projec
which was being sponsored.
1t was also pointed out that, Will.
the swimming pool and recreation parl
referred to within the city limits
wa not only in any way a municipa
proposition, but was privately owned
and operated for commercial purpos
es, the project which had been sug
gested on the Iond to be acquired from
the state would be public enterpris
which would be operated for the ben
eft and use of all.
Although efforts of sponsors hay
been temporarily halted through &C
ton Of the state board, P. G. Neville
president of the local Lions club, sal
further action would be taken an
that the proposed project was not t
be abandoned" at this time.
