which now is headlining the
stage show at Warmers Earle Thea
ter, certainly must have something
lot of other radio and dance bands
do not. You can go into the Earle
this week with the firm conviction
you are not going to be even mildly
enthused over Mr.. King and his music
your heart that Mr.. King directs his
orchestra with an ear of corn. instead
of baton; that his musicians still
play the same arrangements the same
way they played them in years gone
by; that the Waltz King and his
crew have of late been losing ground
with people who dance, because they
bow to no new musical fashions
But you will have those ideas modi-
fed when you listen to Wayne Kings
music.
When the first haunting note of
Americas Waltz Kings theme song is
waited down from the Earle's ampli-
fiers, there is such salvo of applause
as hasn't been let loose at any band in
many moon. And Mr.. King goes
right on from there to win over any
heretics and unbelievers who may be
lurking in the loges. He doesn't play
modern dance music-he doesn't even
come close to it when he tries--but
he does purvey whole hatful of
soothing melody which falls sweetly
upon the ear. Mr. King has style
which truly is his own, and which
makes his appearance at the Earle
this week worthy of attention. (His
program is devoted entirely to Wayne
King music, too, the lady who inter-
rupts his radio sessions having been
left at home)
Eddie White, singing comedian,
who has his share of popularity
around these parts, also is very much
present on the stage bill, winning
good, rousing applause for his dizzy
patter and dizzier song medley. The
vaudeville bill includes the Three
Queens" trio of attractive damsels,
who do bit of bright tap dancing
to open the program.
The motion picture at the Earle
this week is one of those items you
can take or leave and probably will
want to leave, if you are looking for
anything intelligent or important. 1t
is called Millions in the Air" and
it has to do with an heiress who
wants q career, SO tries out on the
amateur hour sponsored by her father.
She meets a young but wholesome
lad, who peddles ice cream and also
wants a career. You can write your
own scenario from there, and if it
doesn't come close to the one the
Paramount people used, you 60 three
seats below the foot of the class.
The best thing about millions in
the Air" is Willie Howard He has
ample opportunity to let his dizzy
humor run rampant, appearing as
the amateur who had been getting
the gong ever since he first tried out
on amateur night in Bowery music
hall, back in 1903, when the gong was
a hook. HIS main idea in life is to
"sing 'Rigoletto' all the way through"
which gives him the chance to top
his merry antics with that superbly
lunatic quartet scene. That's been
hilarious ever since Willie first did it,
and will continue to be hilarious
every time he does 1t.
Another excuse for Millions in the
Air" is Eleanore Whitney. who is al
lowed a few moments of topping
dancing. Wendy Barrie, John How

Ambassador Augusta Rosso and others
from the embassy will be out front for
the opening to have look at country
man Luigo Pirandello's drama. It is
reported that Miss Brown has devel-
oped mild fury because the Wardman
Park Theater has no box which can be
flag draped for the Ambassadors
party.
"Six Characters" was first played
In this country in New York in 1922
and was called by critics "the most
original philosophical play of the CEN
tury" and was presented again in New
York nine years later by the Theater
Guild. The studio production is the
first in Washington.
The cast for next Tuesday and
Wednesdays playing is headed by
Adele Gusack, Ralph Howenstein,
Betty Rice, Robert Duke and Karl Gay,
all of whom have appeared in other
Studio of Theater Arts productions.
Elmer Evans. Sonic Nordholm, Frank
Westbrook, Dorothy Bolton, Louise

Vernon Lyden and Martha Sutton also
will take part.

projects to be essayed by a local pro-
ducing group will be consummated

ambitious refers to the fact the play
Is Charming Pollock's four-act drama,
''The Fool" which requires cast of
25 and also requires that II of those
25 have to be on stage at one time on

ard Wentworth, directing the play for
the Pierce Hall Players, about ready
to tear out portions OF his hair, for
the play is being done at Pierce Hall
and the stage at Pierce Hall was not
designed to hold De Mile mob scene.
It was suggested that the runway the
Earle uses when the Roxyettes come to
town might be borrowed to provide
more stage room at Pierce Hall, but
Mr.. Wentworth would have none of
this. It seemed like good idea at
the time, but Howard just didn't ap-
preciate 1t.
Frank S. Koonce (rumored to be
slated for Paramount screen test)

the very act of that smacking.
The result is far from the heroic

To tell you that the ghost, in the

to Florida, imported thither by a

transplanted the haunted castle, is
to tell you most of the rest of the

ghost and a descendant of the
ghost. And his acting is as it has

its ghost, and Jean Parker appears
as the young girl who has tough

ORE MOVEMENT
PROMISES MUCH
THIS SEASON
Sibley Electric Hoist Ready to
Do Its Share When Active
Season Starts.

1t is estimated by those in position to
know that the ore shipments for the
coming season viii attain a grand total
of IS, 100000 tons. The stocks on lower
lake ports are exceptionally low, it is
said. Only Is .8O8,527 tons were on stock
at the beginning of this month, a very
low total
The consumption of ore by furnaces
during February was 1882 ,306 tons and
two stocks were added to the active list.
February consumption. at that, was
3I9.262 tons under the figure for the
previous month. The figures for March
have not as yet been made public.
The Oliver Iron Mining company, in
anticipation Of an active season and ac-
tive seasons 10 follow, has electrified
the Sibley mine with a Wellman-Sea-
ver-Morgan electric hoist.
The new machinery was being tuned
up this week and adjustments made by
local forces preparatory TO putting the
same in operation. Steam power has
been utilized heretofore at the Sibley
All other mines here, the Pioneer and
Zenith are electrically operated
The completion Of the installation was
completed several weeks ago by Adolph
Almansey, factory representative of the
machine company. The installation was
completed at that time and only a few
minor details were TO be arranged which
is being done this week
Central district and lake front fur
naces were the main consumers of ore
during February, the total amount used
by the furnaces being 2951 .568 tons in
January and last ,269 tons in February.
At the close of last month 101 stacks
were in blast, 50 in the central district,
one eastern, A lake front, and four all

were IN blast the previous month
The pre-depression movement of iron
ore was 5O,000,OOO tons. Shipping men
admit that should the steel trade strike
a seasonable lull this summer. the ore
movement might not hit the IS ,0OO, 900
prophesied for this seasons shipments.
However, if the amount should reach
the prophesied figures, it would be a
notable step in the comeback attempt
by an industry that hit rock bottom in
1892 when shipments failed to aggre-
gate five million tons

splashed their way TO victory over the
Seniors at the natatorium Friday be-
fore the Seventh and Eight Grades at
an assembly program arranged for the
prime object of creating interest in
swimming among students below the
high school age.
The meet also gave an idea of what
available material was at hand for next
years swimming contests.
Many of the excellent swimmers on
this years team will be lost for the
team next year by graduation How
ever, the meet showed that available
material will not hamper the team in
their contests next year.
The Seniors who are to graduate were
lined up against the Freshmen, Sopho-
mores and Juniors in the events at
Fridays meet and the lower class men
defeated the Seniors by a score of 42
to 80 points.
A highlight of the meet was the ex-
hibition of fancy diving by Leonard
Klun who is home for the Easter va
cation from the University of Mime
sofa.
Mr.. Klun has been state champion in
diving three times; once Northwest
champion and now one of the strong
divers on the University team. He is
in his Freshman year as diver at the
University.
The exhibition he put on for his erSt-
while class and schoolmates was one of
the best seen in the local pool for some
time and a source of inspiration to the
students.
