fHE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1930 PAGE SEVEN "THE LOCAL SCREEN ------ Who's Who & What's What in the Amuse- ment World Interesting Pen Impres- sions of the Coming "Attractions on . SPANIEL GUARDED DEAD BOY'S BODY Handsome Arlen Collegiate Chatter Thrills in New Congratulations are due Lillian Pirie, Gladys Thompson and Ruth Lethbridge, former students of our Collegiate, who have successfully completed their first year at the On- Rod LaRocque Plays Leading 'Role in "Beau Bandit" at New Martin Theatre Today Rich in the pictorial beauty of the open range and built around a pow- erful story of the old west, "Beau Bandit," Radio Pictures' outdoor all- talking triumph opens at the Martin Theatre today, following en- thusiastic reception on its showing "in other cities. The scenes in "Beau Bandit" are not confined to the narrow limits of a sound studio stage. Instead, the pic- ture was filmed outdoors in almost its entirety, giving it. a sweep and a movement possible only with the use of nature's own scenic sets. : Rod La 'Rocque, cast as a sauve, entlemanly "bad man," plays the ead in "Beau Bandit," a glamorous story of the open plains, Ideally suited to the part, La Rocque is said to give ong of the most remarkable performances of his long screen car- cer in this all-talking production. Doris Kenyon Sings in Film The leading feminine role is played by lovely Doris Kenyon, whose sing- ing voice is heard on the screen for the first time. Miss Kenyon for the past two years has made a number of concert stage appearances throughout the country, following in- tensive study in vocal training, Crit- ics have been enthusiastic .in their praise of her talents, Miss Kenyon sings "Just a Little Kiss," composed by Harry Tierney, of "Rio Rita" fame, Director Lambert Hillyer, ace of outdoor picture directors, took his company into the Mojave desert of Arizona to film "Beau Bandit," The ictyre was made in the majestic Prec of the desert, with a not- able company of players, extras, and a posse of western rodeo champions, An admirable supporting cast is featured in the production. Mitchell Lewis, one of the foremost of the screen "heavies," plays perhaps the strangest role which has been pore trayed: for the talking screen. Al. though Lewis appears in morc than 400 scenes, he does not speak a line, His characterization is .that of « vicious Mexican deaf mute. Lewis' pantomine more than makes up for his lack of dialog, for he is said to play his role superbly. Notable Supporting Cast Other capable supporting players are Walter Long, George Duryea, Charles B. Middleton, Bill Patton and Barney Furey. A group of eight of the hardest riders and ropers in the west, all rodeo champions, make up a sherriff's posse in. "Beau Ban- dit" Wallace Smith, who prepared the talking screen versions of "Bulldog Drummond," "The Delightful Rogue," and other successes, wrote and adapt- ed the original story of "Beau Ban- dit," titled "Strictly Business." HOUSE OF DAYLIGHT PLANNED By a new system of sunlight ad- mission, a five-story building to be erected in the centre of Cologne, Germany, will have daylight in every nook and corner. The bufld- ing is to be called the 'House of the Housewife," and will be ased at first to house an exhibition of new ideas in labor saving in the home, The interior of the house will receive daylight both through the glass front and from the roof through various skylight openings arranged in such a way that the light rays will enter the different stories crosswise from the roof and the street. Josephs Rings, of Essen, the architect, says that the entire building will be {lluminated by daylight right into its inner. most part, MIXED DRINKS TOAST COFFEE Several kinds of beverages were necessary to launch a campaign to promote coffee drinking'in Britath recently, The 300 guests at the banquet in London had the unique experience of honoring a toast in coffee--and all drained their cups to be the last grounds. They were attending the inaugural banquet ofthe Coffee Board of Great Bri- tain and they heard more about coffee than they had ever heard before. They toasted the rulers of the coffee-producing countries ~-but not in coffee; they drank to the health of the Coffee Board, chiefly in champagne; and to the coffee-producing countries them- solves in liqueurs. But for the "Immortal Beverage" plain coffee was the chosen draught, AUGE PROPELLER TRAVELS Under the guardianship of pos- ses of police all the way, the sixty- geven-ton rudder for the Canadian liner "Empress" made a remark able journey from Darlington, England, to a - Clydebank, Scot- land, shipbuilding yard recently. The load on the sixty-foot motor truck--the largest in the world-- was the heaviest ever borne by British roads. The journey Te- quired five days. Street and bridg- es were negotiated with only an inch to spare, and in some places telegraph poles had to be moved to make way for the monster. It took an hour to round one right- angle turn in the road. A crew of six men worked in relays, The huge load went through Glasgow early Sunday morning at a speed of seven miles an hour, Rome, May 30.--The feust of the Ascension, commemorating Chirst's rising up to Heaven as told in the 16th Chapter of Mark, was celebrated yesterday In 'the Roman churches with services of rejoicing, From St. Peter's to the lowliest suburban chapels, white-vest-ment- ed clergy sung or sald the mass of the day, in the presence of great congregations, Ascention Day is a public holiday in Italy, so the laity was not kept away by work. In accordance with the wishes of Pope Pius, the sermons preached stressed the teaching mission of the church, the text generally used he ing that of the day's gospel, "Go vo into the whole world and preach the Gospel to every creature." At twilight vespers were sung in the principal basilicas, NH NEW MARTIN STARTING SATURDAY fl ALLTALK ROMANCE OF Bringing in one all glamour of the virile border days. Great as all Outdoors! Pulsing Action Drama Filmed Entirely in Nature's Own Locale. Sturdy Four-Year-Old Boy Wandered Four Miles Over Moor London, -- After un all-night search, partly over some of the wildest country in the Brendon Hill district of West Somerset, a two year and two months old child was found dead on a recent morning on a moorland track 4 1-2 miles away from his home, By his side was sitting his faith. ful companion---a spaniel, The ohild, Thomas John Ford, son of Mr, T., ¥ord, of Luxboro, was missed after going out with his mother to feed poultry, and, although sturdily built, it remains a mystery how he was able to wan- der so far from home, When discovered, he was In a half erouching position in a shal- low pool, Death was, apparently, due to exposure, As the rescuers approached the spaniel growled loudly, but recog- nizing his master he hurried away and returned home by another route, PENN RELIC HOAX BRINGS JAIL TERM London, May 31---Hunter Chas. Rogers, laborer, and so-called "king of hoaxers," was sentenced to nine months in jail at the Berkshire assi- zes for uttering forged documents purporting to bear the signature 'of William Penn, founder of Pennsyl. vania, : The sentence was the sequel to Rogers' attempt, last January to sell a collection of his own paintings and "art relics" in Toronto. He claimed the paintings were the works of old masters and that the papers were of great histori: value, The collection was sald to be worth $500,000 and to have been in the possession of a wo- man descendant of William Penn, who ordered them sold in America out of dislike for Efiropean art deal- ers. BANK FAILS, MEN GET MONEY How to force two peasants to return money which they had de- posited, and of which they merely secured repayment although they used long knives in the act, is a question puzzling officials of the Swabian Bank at Timisoara, Tran. sylvania, which recently failed, The peasants have been arrested in con nection with the knife incident. The two men each had $40,000 on de- posit in the bank. One morning they demanded repayment from the cashiar, engaged on clearing up the institution's affairs. He explained that according to the law payment was impossible as the bank was in liquidation. The peasants then drew long knives and seized the cashier engaged on clearing up the the choice of a knife thrust or re. payment of the money. They were paid and politely withdrew, LEIPZIG FUR FAIR LARGE Russian's exhibit at the Inter. national Fur and Hunting Exhibi- tion at Leipzig, Gormany, Is one of the largest ever shown, tion to its regular display covering 2,000 metres, the largest of any foreign country at the exhibition, it has a special attraction in a game park of about 400 fur-bearing ani- mals housed in special enclosures in the open.
