Gangland and penitentiary life, rearing newspaper offices in big cities, and romance in the country are mingled in dramatic plot in "The Last Gargster." in which Ed ward c. Robinson come to the Loew Poli theater Saturday in the story of a mans term in prison and the effect on his family.
 James Stewart, Rose Stradner, Metro Goldwyn-Mayer's glamorous discovery from Vienna, Lionel Stander and others of note surround Americas Number one gangster star, in the new drama.
 "The Last Gangster" deals with the downfall of a gang everlord trailed by "G-men," jailed on an income tax fraud indictment and imprisoned for 10 years during which time his wife changes her identity to save their child from the dis grace of his name. She remarries. He emergeS into a new world and through a series of dramatic devel- opmentS works out his own regen- eration.
 Unlike usual gangster pictures, the story deals with the motives and emotions of criminal rather than his actions. Edward Ludwig directed.
 A vicious riot in a prison mess hall, a grim trip in an armored pris- on car, details of prison life, work ings of newspaper offices, gangland hideoutS and other vivid scenes pro- vide the background for the central love theme as enacted by Stewart and Miss Stradner, the latter play ing the gangster's disullusioned wife, the former newspaper man who befriends her and with whom she finds happiness in eventual mar riage.
 With Lionel Stander playing the gang everlord'S chief lieutenant, the supporting cast includes little Doug las Scott as Robinson's son. John Carradine, Sidney Blackmer, Grant Mitchell, Edward s. Brophy, Alan Baxter, Frank Conroy and Louise Beavers.
 "The Last Gangster" is based on an original story by William A.  Wellman and Robert Carson with the screen play by John Lee Mahin.

Much space is available than would appear from the road. It's the best pond the youngsters could find in the neighborhood and they certainly are getting good out of it this winter. Observer

JANUARY ROSES

The mists of the morning With a love chaste and pure, Kiss the lips of my roses By the mocking birds door; And the desert winds cry, And the silver and gold Of the winter night glows In the sky's magic fold. You bring me a message From a thousand fond hearts, You wander and whistle Like the dear fairies darts; Here's toast to your valor, Here are birds mellow notes; The music of New Years From their sweet golden threats. Dear Roses, you bring me The loved fragrance of May, Your musings and whispers Are the prayers of the day; Your song is eternal For your hearts are on fire With the sunsets own color In this land of desire.

 Homers not carriers . All of which may not have
 anything to do with pigeons, but it's what we're talk ing about "A recent news item from Glasgow Scot land stated that fishing boats were using "carrier pigeons instead of the radio to send messages home to employers and to the families of men aboard the boats This done because the birds were found cheaper than installing radio transmitters. However carrier pigeons would never be used for carrying messages, carrier pigeons not used for this sort of work The true carrier pigeon is large bird with long wings and body and much bare skin around eyes. It is more of a fancy breed than anything else. Birds used to carry messages employed simply in races, "homers' or homng pigeons. The two types are often confused but it's the hOmng pigeons that actu ally do the carrying.

"The more painstakingly we look into the mining situation in Alaska" says The Alaska Sports man editorially in the December number, just issued, the more thoroughly we become convinced that the present need may not be so much for more prospectOrs as for investors to take over and de- velop the properties the prospect ors have already discovered and which are lying idle for need of capital to buy the machinery, la Dor. and other equipment nec- essary for exploration and devel- opment.
 'In the propectors' heydey in Alaska the man without funds could develop the placer claims that were then to be found and, on a small grubstake and with a shovel and sluice box, make money.
 To-day is the age of machin- cry. Most of the placer grounds have been stripped of their easily obtained gold, Dredges are going over the grounds which the pros pectors scratched.
 No, it IS doubtful if Southern Alaska needs prospectors more than capital for the development of its mineral resources. There are prospectors who have been sitting on their claims for thir- ty years waiting for an engineer 10 come along"
