Raleigh, April 19.-One of the war
NEST contests in years for the vice
presidency of the North Carolina Edu-
cation Association is in prospect when
the association meets in Durham
Thursday and Friday of this week for
it's annual convention and election of
officers, according to reports being
heard here. The main contest will he
over the vice-presidency rather than
the presidency, due to the fact that
the vice president is by custom always
advanced to the presidency. Accord
ingly, DR.. w. G. Jackson, administra-
tive dean of the Women's College of
the University of North Carolina, in
Greensboro, will automatically become
president of the association this week,
succeeding Miss Oma Clare Lafferty,
of Charlotte, incumbent, since DR..
Jackson was elected vice president
last year.
The two leading contenders for the
vice presidency of the association IN
this weeks meeting are Junius II.
Rose superintendent of the Greenvllle
citv schools, and Ben L. Smith, super

Made In Canada

The picture was good
enough to be graced by the
presence of Queen Mary at
its initial showing in London
and Seton Margrave, dis
tinguished critic, calls it a
bstter drama of the Empire
than "Calvacade." In fact he
thinks it ranks with Covered
Wagon" as a screen story of
the pioneers of progress.
With no malice I point out
the star of the picture is
Richard Arlen and that most
of it's scenes were filmed in
the Canadian Rockies.
Last summer Gaumont-
British sent a production
unit to the Dominion. For Is
weeks, or until the snow
stopped them, they made a
film of one of the Empires
most romantic engineering
feats-the building of the
Canadian Pacific railway
across the Rocky Mountains
to the sea.
As The Era describes the
completed product:
''T'hey had a good story, a
worthwhile subject, and
have made a fine film.
TT is an easy film to re-
view. It has the simple,
pioneering quality Of earlier
epics.
The scene shifts from the
drama of the construction
camp at Moodyville, at the
foot of the Great Divide, to
the Dominion Government
and back again.
Real human drama Is
woven into the almost super
human obstacles overcome in
driving the last link to reach
the sea-trains swallowed in
swamps, forest fires, ava
lanches, strikes-with the
more personal elements of
saloon fights, mountaineer-
ing thrills, rioting, and dis
affection.
"The greatest thrill is the
most personal of all-the
final trek of a small band of
heroes-Richard Arlen, re-
formed gambler; Barry Mac
kay, and the rugged pioneer
Of the railway, Major Bell,
to find the old trail across
the mountains.

Movies Need Stage

"They know that they've
got to develop talent and
have got to have place to
develop it," he continued.
"Tt's becoming increasingly
difficult for your established
screen player to return to the
stage, even if he wants to,
because with the increase in
picture production he's too
much in demand. But even if
he did return, that would not
help revive the stage nearly
so much as the development
of entirely new prospects.
And while those who are
holding the torch on Broad
way are the old familiar
names like the Katharine
Cornells, the Lunts and Fon-
tannes and Noel Cowards, the
Helen Hayes and the LIE Gal
liennes, there will be those
new names springing to the
fore, as sure as the fact that
people are still born.
"Whenever an outstanding
play comes to Los Angeles,
picture folk turn out for it
en- masse. For most of them,
it's like a breath from home.
All the more reason, since so
many of them owe their be-
ginning to the stage, that
they should lend it a hand by
any sort of encouragement
they can to insure a glorious
comeback"

More Graphic Plays

81 think one reason for
this is that plays are being
written more graphically,
because aut h ors have
motion picture production
in mind for them when
they write them. I'm no
advocate of photographed
stage plays, but I contend
that a good play can al
ways be the basis of a good
film, and I do believe that
particularly in the last year
or two, motion picture story
technique has improved ire

their talents to both mediums
these days. What they have
learned in Hollywood they
have taken back to Broad
way and vice versa.
While he insists that he
shouldn't tell screen invest
ors where to invest their
money, Barrymore admits
that he was much encouraged
when subsidization of stage
plays was started by some
film executives a year or so
