ARE YOU USING BRUSH
SHELTERS FOR STOCK?

With winters grip spread over
the entire state, stockmen are again
reminded by Frank Robinson, Co.
Extension Agent, of the value OF
good natural brush shelter in the
Wintering of beef cattle.
Tests made by the Montana Agri-
cultural Experiment station, he said,
have proved the economic value of
good brush shelter. In these tests
natural shelter was compared with
a shed provided with an open door
to the south. One test was made
in a severe winter and the other
in mild winter.
In the severe winter test the COWS
in the brush lot lost 1916 pounds less
per head than those in the shed lot
In the mild winter test the cows
in the brush lot gained 34.9 pounds
more per head than those in the
shed lot Practically identical ra-
tons were fed the cows in both
groups in these tests.
These trials indicate that where
natural brush shelter is available
it is at least equal to expensive shed
equipment and certainly much less
costly.

Tosca, tortured by stormy romance
with Jacobin painter, betrayed by
Scarpia and driven in the end to
a leap from q parapet to her death
"Tosca" is one of those tales that
solves all its dramatic difficulties
by killing off all its leading par
ticipants and 1t must be significant
in some way that no one ever has
complained.
The new Italian film is properly
fiamboyant in its approach to its
melodrama. Some of its sequences
kindle some real excitement, most
notably perhaps the one wherein
Scarpia and his henchman surround
the farm where Tosca and her lover
have, hidden a fleeing battler for
Italian democracy. Imperio Argen-
tina really acts up q storm when
the muscle boys put the hot iron
to her painter. A lot more of the
melodramatics would be more palat-
able If Director Carlo Koch were
not one OF those men who like to
take artistic pictures that have no
particular bearing on the action.
The cast, in addition to Miss Ar
gentina, includes Michel Simon,

For their own film version of

have tried wedding of the Vic

The story of Peter nyitch Tschai-
kowsky related in Song of My
Heart" may not be the way it really
was with the great Russian COM
poser, but the producers deemed it
best thus for movie audiences. To
the accompaniment of the masters
music, they have turned out a fable
about the princess and the pauper.
AS goo goes in the sentimental mu-
| sical world of the cinema, it may
be a mite better than most, and as
such not an unWise addition to your
summer film diet
Whatever of extra merit the
screenplay at the Little has, it
seems due to the presence of Swed-
ish player Frank Sundstrom in the
hero role. He not only has the
delicate ascetic look of the emotion
ally wrung composer, but he also
seems plausible sort for attracting
the high-strung attention Of 8
Romanoff princess.
If it happens not to be true to
the facts of either the Romanof
girls, or Tschaikowsky's life, SYM
phony Films can be comforted in
the knowledge that neither can sue.
Moreover, both it and audiences
will be opiated against unhappiness
by the volume of Tschaikowsky
music in Song of My Heart"
Mostly in excerpt, but at times
fully, the sound track carries such
compositions as the Swan Lake and
Nutcracker ballets, the Piano Con-
certo No. /, the Fourth, Fifth and
Sixth symphonies; the 1872 Over
ture, Marche Slav and Romeo and
Juliet Fantasy. This is indeed a
worthy Tschaikowski album, pre-
senting in original form some of
the most popular compositions
stolen by latter-day American mu-
sic makers.
A not very artful flashback trick
for telling the composers story is
employed in Song of My Heart" It
serves to present him as another
tormented musician, a genius with
the vanities and terrors that go
with uniqueness.
Music is his exclusive obsession
when he should have been dating
alluring MuScovites of the other
sex. This worries his amusing sew
ant, played by Mikhail Rasummy,
but it is not destined. to last for
ever.
There does come a day when one
of the lovely young witches entices
the composer into matrimony. This
is followed by another more mean
ingful one when he finally learns
that his mysterious patroness is not
a rich old crone but a beautiful
Romanoff princess. Russia's laws
being what they were-and seem to
be under the new management
this was not a normally rewarded
love. Outside of an idyllic interlude
at a beautiful villa in Italy, the
Little's film suggests the hero and
heroine communicated principally
through the formers music.
Naturally. this is superior form
of communication but certainly not
an altogether suitable one for two
such intense humans.
A pair of overaverage subordinate
characters helps to make Song of
My Heart" a better film. One OF
these is the loyal valet, a servant
who fancies himself as the worlds
most logical human. This humorous
creature, played by Rasummy, and
a Grand Duke with human feelings
impersonated by Sir Cedric Hard
uicke, are quite useful to Sund-
strom and Audrey Long In the
major romantic roles.
Music lovers with turn for the
sentimental may find something in
this account Of the song in Tschai-
koWsky's heart.
