Thas is very true, but 1 ean 'go it one befter' as you Americans say. Variety, is the keynote for success in the entertainment world. "Long-ago, 1 learned," he continu- ed, "that the public eraves variety an its entertainment rations. The les- son was brought home forcefully to me in the days when 1 was str gling for recognition in the music halls and cafes of rural France. When a small degree of success carried me to Paris. I was even more impressed with this essential entertainment quality. Still later, touring the prin- cipal cities of: Europe, 1 had an op- portunity to study the work of the popular artists of all countries and again 1 learned the value of variety in entertainment. Plan is Success "During all the years that I played on the stage in Europe, I made it my practice to change my material as frequently as possible. When 1 came to America as a member ot the Para. mount organization, '1 carried with me the thought that each characteri- zation 1 played should be as different as possible from its predecessors. "So far I have succeeded in carry- ing out this plan. My role 'in 'In- nocents of Paris' was very different from the characterization in 'The Love Parade' And my present role in 'The Blg Pond'--that of a young Frenchman who is tossed into Amer- can business affairs without any pre- vious training--is equally distant from the other two. * "1 believe so strongly in the value of variety that 1 do not like to sing two songs in the same production that are of the same type. In 'The Big Pond' 1 have three different mu- sical pumbers and they are each dis- tinctive from 'the others. There is a love song, a low-comedy number, and .a Cinderella song for a little child: and in addition, I sing a par- ody of one of the songs at another point in the story. French Edition Filmed "I hope that it will he possible to find equally distinctive stories and characterizations in the future. With- out variety of characterization, the actor" is" automatically doomeéd to speedy oblivion." Not only does Chevalier's current vehicle "The Big Pond," have the distinction of being very different irom his preceding pictures, but ig i also the 'fizst.« American-made "3ll- talking production to be filmed with complete. French dialogue sithultan- eously with the making of the Eng- lish-speaking edition. Claudette Col- bert, who speaks English and French with equal fluency, is featured: in the leading femine role of both ver- sions. Hobart Henley directed the dual production.

SOVIET LEADER FOILS OPPONENTS Stalin ment of Red Congress to Debate Policies Moscow, June. 7----A strategical victory for Josef V. Stalin was seen in indications that the Communists party Congress, orinally scheduled for June 15, will be postponed for several. weeks. Stalin and other Kremlin leaders had desired a later date but ap- parently consented to the selection of June 15 as a concession to the rank and file of the party following troubles in the collectivization of farm land, Stalin had severely rep- rimanded lower party functionaries for excess in carrying out agrarian policies and there wag considerable dissatisfaction, strengthened by pressure for an immediate party congress, Elements disagreeing with Sta- lin's policies supported the move and Stalin yielded. The now-ex- pected postponement was attribut- ed to technical reasons in prepara- tory work but representetl a victory for the Soviet leader. Local party conferences have started in sll parts of the Soviet Union to choose delegates to the congress and to indicate the atti- f tude of the various regions toward the Kremlin's policies in the last 30 months, The Government leaders have been trying their utmost to obtain unequivocal endorsement of the Stalinist program but the Press in- dicated today that the expected en- dorsement would be far from unan- imous. Alexis Rykov, whose posi- tion is similar to that ofi Premier and Michael Tomsky, president of the Trade Union Council, were re- ported to have opposed Stalin's headlong speed in carrying out poli- cieg and indications are that they have found considerable support, PLEASANT THOUGHTS Her husband--' "What are yon mooning there for, gazing at the stars?

WOOD WASTE GAN BE PROFITABLE Many Products Can be De- rived From Leftovers of Forest Cutting Vancouver, B.C. -- Utilization of of wood waste in. the lumber indus- trv.of the Pacific Northwest is be- ing criminally neglected, ac cording to C. S. Cowan, formerly dssistant for- ester in British Columbia, and now chief fire warden in the state of Washington. "It is known that valuable explos- ives can be manufactured from wood, but very little has been done in a practical way," said Mr. Cowan. "And meanwhile the lumber industry ré- ports hard times. Among the other possible by-products of the lumber industry are tar and resin and lac- quer and rayon. Cellulose, that mar- vellous wood substance, can be con- verted into a great many articles of importance to commerce. "Alcohol is a product that can be obtained from wood in: large quanti- ties, and the sugars found in our make." woods might also be used profitably in the manufacture of feed for cat- tle. "Then there are the lignin products most of which are now being wasted altogether. Western 'hemlock, which there has been an unsatisfact- ory market for years, offers great possibilities as a base for tannin. Tannin should be extracted on the coast and shipped cast to the markets in powdered form. "Naval stores could be produced in paying quantities from stumps and selected resinous timbers Leaves and twigs of conifers also 'contain oils that are in constant demand.

In a considerable sense, the estab- lishment of diplomatic relations with Canada, as a matter separate from the former dependence upon the diplomatic connection between the United States and Great Brit- ain, is a concession to the new nat- ional feeling in the Dominion, That we. should have a Canadian minist- er at Washington and consequently an American minister at Ottawa, seemed at first an anomalous pro- position. It was met with a cer- tain reluctance in this country. It was the reluctance of only inertia. But the arrangement was distinctly indicated by the development of Canada, our nearest and most in- timate neighbor, into a virtually independent nation, Canada is now our best customer.

Head- ing a notable cast are Conway Tearle, Virgigia Vaili and Ricardo Cortez. This all-talking picture a Tiffany Production, tells of Commander Hall, a noted explorer, who is plannihg to go to the South Pole in a huge Zep- pelin. He selects Tom Armstrong, a naval officer, as his chief licuten- ant. On the eve of the departure a banguet is given in Hall's honor, He leaves the affair early, preferring to spend the evening quietly at home with his charming wife,- Miriam, Reaching his home he finds her in the arms of Armstrong. Hall says 'nothing. After Tom's depdrture Miriam tells her husband of her love for the naval officer and asks for a divorce. Hall advises her to wait until the Zenpelin expedition gets back 'from its trip. The next day the big airship starts out. Dur- ing the trip Hall tells Tom that he will give Miriam her freedom. He blames the boy for not fighting against his love for a married wo- man, although he still fee's compas- sion and tenderness for his friend, The voyage of the Zeppelin is fill- ed with exciting incidents that are heard back home by Miriam. Finally the airship reaches the antarctic re- gions, encounters terrific storms, is blown against a mountain of ice and wrecked. Starvation and the ex- treme cold take toll of the men until only Hall and Armstrong are left. Then appears an aeroplane, brought to the scene by radio distress signals from the Zeppelin before it went to pieces. There is room in it for only one passenger. Hall orders Arm- strong to return, believing his wife loves the youth and making the sacgi- fice for her sake. relations between . the two coun- tries are highly important to both We need at Ottawa a sagacious business man as our representative and also one who has genial per- sonal qualities. Technical diplo- matic training is a matter of sec- ondary importance in the situation. "Colonel MacNider seems to fil! admirably both these requirements, a gallant soldier, former command- er of the American Legion, former assistant Secretary of War, a grad- uate of Harvard, and a successful business man, with political exper- fence, he possesses the merit of a| very high reputation. He is known as an earnest supporter of the St. Lawrence canal project, but he is sagacious enough not to use his personal advocacy of that scheme in any way that would conflict with divided Canadian opinions on the subject. He has a chance to repeat in Canada the record of popularity and influence which Mr. Morrow achieved in Mexico. SLASH IS CAUSE OF MANY FOREST FIRES Victoria, B.C.--Forestry experts and logging operators are trying to determme a solution of what is known as the slash problem. In the course of logigng operations a great deal of smal timber is invariably left behind. A great quantity of this tim- ber is dead and when in this way be- comes a serious fire hazard. The government has in many instances compelled the logging operators to burn this slash, and usually this is sometimes these slash fires get out of control and important tracts of virgin timber are destroyed. The argument among some loggers is that the slash should be hauled to various central points for burning rather than fires should be set with the intention of covering the whole area on which logging operation have been carried out. Chief Forester P. Z. Caverhill con- siders that in certain areas it will be necessary to provide for increased protection against fires of this kind. done in the spring of the year.
