STRAND

Mickey Rooney and Wallace Beery in their first co-starring ve- hicle "Stablemates" arrived at the Warner Brothers Strand theater yes- terday and received a tremendous oviation from capacity audiences who attended all performances.
 This picture is one that meets the standards of the Strands cur rent policy of presenting "the pick of the pictures" at all times, and il is surely one that should be seen by everyone before it concludes its engagement Thursday evening.
 Beery is seen in the role of a once brilliant veterinarian who changed to a race track bum be- cause he was framed into murder charge. Rooney, fresh from hit triumph in Boys Town" and Love Finds Andy Hardy" won more ad- mirers, if possible, in his charac- teriZation of the stable boy and jockey who befriends Beery in or der to get the latter to operate on his injured horse.
 The work of the stars is ably supported by the performances of the supporting cast consisting of Arthur Hohl, Margaret Hamilton and Marjorie Gateson. Included in the film are scenes of Santa Anita,

POLI'S

The Great Waltz, glamorous musical drama based on the life of Johann Strausss, recreates the TO- nance of old Vienna when it opens a four-day engagement Saturday at 1oew Poli theater. Starred in this drama are Louie Rainer, Fernand Gravel and Milliza Korjus, new opera star discovery.
 Strauss, played by F,rernand Gra- vet, is fired from his responsible bank job for paying more attention to musical notes than bank notes. His sweetheart, played by Louise Rainer, consoles him. At a Vienese cafe, Strauss plays waltz he has composed for an unexpected audi ence from the Imperial opera, among them the prima donna, Mill iza Korjus. He is a tremendous suc- cess, but invited to play at an aris- tocratic gathering, he cuts an awk- ward figure and hears the prima donna burlesque the waltz he has composed especially for her. He de- cides to forsake the aristocracy and forget his love for Miss Korjus and marries his former sweetheart. Dur ing the Viennese rioting for a con- Stitution, Strauss reScueS the priIna donna from an angry mob and es- corts her to safety in the Vienna woods. He is torn between his mar riage VOWS and his love for the singer.
 The Strauss music is featured in '@The Great Waltz. Some of the greatest of the melodies are vocal ized by Miss Korjus.
 The large supporting cast feat ures Hugh Herbert, Herman Bing Henry Hull, Lionel Atwill and Minna Gombell.
 On the same program is another smash feature, worth of being the first attraction on any program Young Dr. Kildare" featuring Lew l Ayers, who has made such start ling comeback to screen fame, and Lionel Barrymore. The latter has the role of the garrulous but gifted Dr. Gillespie, the man that Max Brand painted as the medical men, tor of young Dr. Kildare, and ir this part Barrymore has another oi those roles that he revels in, and one that you'll love more than any of his previous ones. The picture also marks another triumph foI young Ayers, and matching his good fortune in the cast is Lynne Carver who gets the first feminine lead ir her career. For the collegiates, there is good news in the presence of Jc Ann Savers, known at the Univer. sity of Washington as the ski queer of the 1897 ice carnival. who make. her debut in the new picture.

In his room he has sxfOOt hardwood spear with 12-lnch razor edge point and six foot bow with 8OpOund pull. These were the implements that Sasha carried with him back in 1914 when he went into the Brazilian jungle for the first tme because with the World War under way it was safer there He did not come out until after the armistice and he has made number of trips back to the jungle since then The bearded six-foOt Latvian is known as the Tiger Man m the Brazilian jungle because he hunts jaguars with his bow and arrows and his spear. He uses these crude weapons because they are "mOre efficient" and give him few seconds of real blo0d-curdling excitement But his quandary is concerned with men, not beasts of the jungle For Sasha Sieme finds civilized man approaching the madness of 1914 and again the jungle looks 'safer".

Trees Soften RavageS of Wind Erosion In Great Plains
Bring New Hope To Harried Farmers
By NEA Service

By NEA Service
 Uncle Sam's shelterbelt trees root in the prairie soil across 5000 miles of the great plains, sturdy hope of new prosperity in western farming.
 Less than four years after the government planted the first tree, an Austrian pine, on the farm of H. E. Curtis near Mangum, Okla, much of the gigantic project has already exerted marked influence on adjacent land. Crops grow where formerly it was impossible and shelterbelt plantings them- selves have attained 92 per cent Sur- vival in some parts.
 From teh Dakotas to Texas long rows of ash, elm, locust and many other varieties shed for another winter. They cover 6858 miles in six states, serve almost 14,000 farms. Nearly 85,000,000 trees cover 100000 acres.
 This man-made windbreak is not, of course, 8 cure-all for the ills of agriculture. But tree planting is es- sential in the Stabilization of prairie plains farming, protecting crops, soil stock, game. Wind erosion is one of the most destructive forces in the plains, and shelterbelts, properly Io- cated, will check and control this movement of soil, federal forestry experts contend.
 THE CASE
 OF CASEY
 Take the case of Ed Casey who farms near Mitchell, s. D. Early in 1885 dust and wind had just about licked Casey. Seriously he consid' cred abandoning his farm and moving to the Pacific northwest. Then came the shelterbelt project. Casey agreed to cooperate in the work as 8 last resort.
 The planting began on his farm in April, 1885, while the wind still whipped black soil wholesale from his land and sent it whirling into some other state. Workmen found fences completely buried by drifting topsoil. But somehow they anchored the tree roots.
 The story shifts now to 1887 when assistant chief,( E. W. Tinker of the Forest Service, visited the Casey farm. MT. Casey had decided to stick. Where two years earlier the topsoil covered his fences he now exhibited fine crop of watermelon. A cottonwood tree planted in 1885 was slightly more than 20 feet tall. Birds had come back to build nests and even pheasants were taking refuge in the new growth.
 Said MT. Casey: South Dakota sure looks good to me again" The government by no means found cooperation in every locality such as MT. Casey offered. Countless farmers considered the project im- practical and still do.
 In June, 1886, 8 check was made to determine the percentage of survival. It was found that of the trees planted in 1885, 77.3 per cent were growing, while of the trees planted in 1886, 82.4 per cent were growing. The summer of 1886 brought the worst drouth in the plains history. A check in Sep- tember, however, showed that 51.2 per cent of the trees were still alive. In 1887 and 1888 as high as 92 per cent survived.
