WOOD, Jan. Sit
amazes me-this Industry I can
hardly believe my ears about the
following bit but nevertheless,
here it is: 1t would seem that
when Twentieth Century-F o x
signed the Dionne quintuplets for
their picture they didn't want to
take a chance on the possibility
that another group of quintS
might suddenly appear, thereby
stealing the Dionne's thunder, so,
with Lloyds of London, it took
over a $500 900 insurance policy
to the effect that should some new
quintuplets be born and should
they live for three months, the
company would collect the dough.
Also that should one of the quintu-
pletS die it still would collect
100000 because they had a
quadruplet clause in the contract.
Good for the Russians: They
suddenly decided that propa-
ganda films describing Russian
movements are not all the go on
the screens of the world, so in the
future their endeavors will be of
world nature and not propaganda.
And Ito carry on their project)
Is million dollars have been gar
nered from the government to
erect a Russian Hollywood on the
shores of the Black Sea. Whether
or no some of them will be dub
bed in English is yet to be ascer-
tanned, so we'll simply have to sit
breathleSSly by and see what our
pals (the Russians) are going to
turn out.
After we had everything nicely
patched up between James Gag
ney and Warner Brothers, we find
that it isn't really patched up
after all. He's now off salary and
refusing to start his new picture,
"Over the Wall" until the studio
agrees with him in making only
four pictures this coming year.
That age-old adage about Love
me, love my dog" certainly fits
in magnificently with Bella Lu-
COSTS latest move. He was prac-
tically signed on the dotted line
for two pictures in England until
he discovered that his four police
dogs would have to be placed in
English quarantine for six months
before they could join him, so
then and there he decided that it
was too long a time to be sepa-
rated from his four-footed friends,
so he didn't sign the contract.

Clarence Brown in placing
O'Neilps "Ah Wilderness" upon
the screen.
The art of Director Brown was
examplified in the highest degree
in staging the scenes which were
not in O'Neill's play, but which he
fitted neatly into the complete
picture: Those scenes at the high
school commencement, interpo-
lated sequences, wholly in the
mood and nostalgia spirit Of the
playwright.
My fedora is DOTTED to Director
Brown because the high school
graduation could very easily have
been burleSque rather than power
fully real. These scenes had to
be comic, but at the same time
preserve a Semblance of reality.
The young actors could easily
have overdone their platform his
trionics, given a Mack Sennett
veneer to something whose value
depended upon dignity and the
subtle touches provided by the di-
rector.
Director Leo McCarey, who
bossed "Ruggles of Red Gap" is
another who excited my admira-
ton for the manner in which he
contrived to introduce Lincoln'S
Gettysburg address into this roll
licking comedy, so that the IA
nous speech inspired close attell.
ton even a hushed reverence.
Charles Laughton, the actor, gets
the medal, but the director should
share the credit.
Of course, for complete picture
direction, 1 agree with the New
York critics unanimous choice.
Nothing in 1885 surpassed John
Ford's- direction of THE In
former" just as nothing surpassed
it as a picture.
A POOR TITLE
"King of Burlesque" is an ex-
ample of poor picture titling. It
suggests strip tease entertainers,
slapStick and stuffed bladder
humor, whereas the feature at the
Fox Theater is, they tell me, d
first rate screen musical comedy.
Will Hays, naturally, would not
permit any of the startling things
that characterize modern bur-
lesque. The nearest to nudity to
be found in the picture are the
revealing costumes of Alice Faye.
Producer Arthur Hopkins could
tell Hollywood how harmful the
word "BurleSque" is when applied
to other than it's chosen sphere.
He had a smash hit play with
Barbara Stanwyck and the late

resigned. Chairman Hatch was given
the power to appoint vice chairmen.
Mrs. Byrd Brownell of this city was
named county chairwoman by a unani-
nous vote of the 500 or more delegates
present.
In the election of Mrs. Brownell, Ely
was Signally honored and her unani-
nous choice was in contrast with the
choosing of Ed. Hach as chairman. Mr.
Hatch had opposition in the person of
Dr. Weber of West Duluth.
Mr.. Early received the unanimous in
dorSement of one of two national dele
gate assignments to be given at the
district meeting. George w. Atmore of
Duluth was endorsed as alternate
Margaret Culkin Banning was in
dorsed as delegate at large from Min
nesota to the national convention. o. J.
Larson was named alternate. .
Mrs. Anne Smith of Duluth was re-
elected executive secretary.
Congressman VIM. A. Pittenger was
Endorsed for reelection.
Delegates were sent to the district and
state conventions uninStructed.
Many very complimentary remarks
were heard over the manner Mr. Atmore
presided over the convention and ruled
on mooted points. Besides being firm
in his decisions he had a method of
tempering the firmness with a display
of the humor for which he is noted.
One of the highlightS of the conven-
ton was the keynote address of Bern
ard Wennerberg of Center City.

Ordinary dirt roads are improved by
drainage and grading, then four-inch
mat of the stabilized material is placed
TO width of Is feet. After this mat
has been thoroughly compacted by traf-
fic over a period Of several months, a
one and one-half inch oil aggregate mix
is placed over the stabilized base as the
final step in the road improvement.
Officials of the local plant explained
that in order to utilize the crusher waste
for this type of road construction, it
would be necessary to construct a mix
ing plant consisting of chiefly hoppers
having controlled feed, clay processing
unit, Calcium Chloride controlled feed,
and a pug-mill for mixing the various
ingredients
The clay obtained from bank near
the plant is dumped by truckloads into
the hopper placed over a screw feeder
After mixing, the material goes to an
elevated bin for loading to trucks or
cars.
Owing to the time required to equip
for production, the rock crllsher is not
prepared to handle immediate orders
but contemplates being equipped to go
after next years business.
