In this picture the star is Mickey Rooney, who makes the characâ€" ter a regular page from life. All the inâ€"idents and action portray the actual career of the boyhood of Thomas Edison, one Oof the most famous and valuable of the inventive geniuses of the ages of the world. While there are romantic and dramatic touches in the play that perhaps do not exactly paralâ€" lel the life of the great inventor, in the main the picture gives a graphic as well as an accurate account of Edison‘s boyâ€" hood struggles. Negdless to say that Mickey Rooncy makes the whole drama appear a very page from life itself. In the production, actual life and the acâ€" tual things of life have been drawn upon to give the film the touch of truth and historic accuracy. Thirty thousand persons, the total population of Port Huron, Michigan, augmented by cother thousands who came from Detroit, and crowds who lined the railway right of way between both gities, participated in the world preâ€" miere held in honour of a great Ametrâ€" ican, Thomas A. Edison. ‘This comâ€" memorative tribute to him and to Mickey Rocney as "Young ‘Tom Edison" was sporsored by business leaders of worldâ€"wide reputation, political figures naticnal importance and officials of M.G.M. There were four outstanding events held in ccnjunction with the world premiere. First, the reâ€"enactment of the train trip from Detroit to Port Huron: second, the gala state and civic celebration: third, the luncheon tenâ€" dered by the "We Knew Edison" Club 1t the same time that the "Edison Piongers‘‘ in New York City were asâ€" upon truth thous of P dusticn.

At Ki‘rkland Lake dlast week Magisâ€" trate Atkinson scored a Ukrainian who \hart lived in Canada seventeen years without becoming naturalized, and much of that time appeared to have lived from the avails of gambling. The man was found guilty of keeping a {g'amiing house and given the stiff per:â€" alty of $200 and costs or three months. After hearing the evidence of the polâ€" ice and the man‘s own story in reply, Magistrate Atkinson left no doubt in the minds of the spectaters and deâ€" fendarts in the case, that he had no time for such people as the accused. He concluded his remarks to Karcha by Isa.yi:ng that "the sooner we clean these \ kinds of people up the better it will ibe for every one. I want these people ‘»to know what I think of them.

Police at Cochrane have a real proâ€" blem <con theéir handsyâ€"also a youns lady. As a matter of fact the youns lady is the problem, or, rather, the fact that the young lady does not know who she is or where she comes from. According to the accounts coming from Cochrane, the girl, now in Cochâ€" rane hospital, was found by fire rangâ€" ers in an isolated part of the bush country, a considerable distance from any settlement.

When found, the girls who is about eighteen years of age, could not tell who she is or where she comes from. She seemed to b¢ convinced that she had amnesiaâ€"I6s of memâ€" oryâ€"and had no explanition for her presence in the bush. She said she: thought here name Vivian, but said that this represented the full exâ€" tent of her information about herself j so far as she could remember. | The young lady is about five feet.i | | five inches in height, has fair hair, which reaches to about ‘her shoulders, and her weight is about 150 pounds.

When this tclégram was, found communication was ‘at oncei opened with New York in the hopesi that the girl‘s identity could be disâ€" covered. The police, however, recozâ€" nized the fact that the telegram might ; nct have any bearing on the case a.ti all.
