THE LOCAL SCREEN -------------- Who's Whe & What's What in the Amuse- ment World "Beau Ideal" And "The Gang Buster" At The Regent "BEAU IDEAL" If you're looking ror adventure, drama, sweeping action, colorful backgrounds and exotic atmosphere * --"Beau Ideal" is at the Regent to- day and Monday. It is the talkie sega uel to the famous "Beau Geste." t has those and in addition, pro- mises real quality as an artistic film production, as its director, Herbert renon, is among the foremost in the film industry. Story, it is reported, is the key- stone of "Beau Ideal." It is the se- quel to Brenon's great silent film success, "Beau Geste," but assumes the advantages of the talkie over the silent film, Those who have read the novel know the plot has punch. A capable cast, characters that are more human and within the wide scope of the action, distinguish "Beau Ideal." Percival C, Wren wrote the sequel to hig best-sellers, and "Beau Ideal" proved an equally ~spular novel. Elizabeth Meehan adapted the story to the screen and Paul Schofield wrote the scenario, Radio Pictures gave it production, It is based on the fact that the fate of one of the Geste brothers-- John--was left in doubt at the end of "Beau Geste." In "Beau Ideal" an American comrade of the Geste boys' childhood goes to England and claims Isobel, whom he has always loved, He discovers that she is pledged to John, and that the latter, escaping from Fort Zinderneuf, was tried for desertion and murder of an officer and sentenced to ten years hard labor in the Penal Battalion of the Foreign Legion. The American, played by Lester Vail, joins the Foreign Legion in Morocco, then deliberately has him- selt sentenced to the Penal Battalion to find John Geste, played, as in "Beau Geste", by Ralph Forbes. Through, many startling adventur- es he carries out his" program, meets John when they are both near death, and finally--by promising away his own freedom to an Arab girl who loves him--effects the release of Geste and himself from imprison- ment. Radio Pictures has cast the pro- duction with Forbes, Vail and twen- ty-odd principals in the big cast, among whom are Loretta Young, Irene Rich, Leni Stengel, Don Al- varado, Otto Matiesen, Paul MacAl- lister, George Rigas and Hale Hamil ton, many from the silent "Beau Geste." Beautiful scenery of the desert, with its mountainous dunes; pictur esque characters literally by the thousands, colorful "sets" and direc- tion by Brenon have gone into "Beau Ideal." There is also a comical "Our Gang" comedy and Krazy Kat Car- toon on the Regent's current bill, "THE GANG BUSTER" Underworld ~angdom is subjected to a rapid- -fire attack of rollicking 'razz" in the new Jack Oakie wric- ture, "The Gang Buster," the Para- mount picture which opens at the Regent theatre on Tuesday for two days with a cast of well-known fea- ture players supporting the star. Oakie, fresh and funny from two recent laugh successes, 'Sea Legs" and "Sap from Syracuse," works his chin and grin into a series of upset- ting Situations as a small-town insur- ance salesman with big-town ideas. The story centres around Oakie's adventures in selling insurance in a gang-ridden city where every pros- pect is a potential victim for the warring racketeers. An interesting romance pops into the foreground to add zest to the action. Acting on an unexplainable im- pulse, Oakie saves William Morris, a prominent lawyer who has won the disfavor of a racket leader, from be- ing run to death by an automobile. Grateful, Morris signs up for a large insurance policy with Oakie, and Morris' daughter, Jean Arthur, evid- ences her favor in a very nice way. Oakie, however, is disappointed when Morris' application is rejected by his company because of the danger to his life. The girl is kidnapped by the gang leader who hopes to force Morris to hand over ingriminating papers he holds. Oakie penetrates the head- quarters of the gang, unwittingly in- stitutes a gang war, rescues the girl in an hilarious chase through a be- seiged mansion, and Save¥~ Morris from the menace of the racketeers. A. Edward Sutherland, who direc- ted Qakie in two previous comedies, "Sap from Syracuse" and "Fast Com- pany," made this fun-revel from the story by Percy Heath, a sceen writ- er who has been coming to the fore in Hollywood. The dialog was pre- pared by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, and Harry Fischbeck is responsible for the camera work, which is said to be an example of perfected action photography. William Boyd, who opposed Gary Cooper in "The Spoilers," and George Bancroft in "Derelict," does equally well in the role of a comedy menace in this Qakie picture, in which he plays the part of the chict racketeer. Francis McDonald, fav- orably received in many Paramount pictures, most recently th "Morocco" has another menace role in "The Gang Buster." In addition to this finc screen pro- gramme, Manager Osier has added George Wade and His Corn Huskers, radio stars from station C-K-G-W, Toronto, in a stage offering of old favorite musical selections, dances and songs. These clever and talent- ed artists have no doubt been heard over the air many times by Oshawa VAUDEVILLE ACT AT THE, REGENT Patrons of the Regent theatre, next Tuesday and Wednesday cven- ings will be/treated to an extra added attraction 4n addition to. the big screen show which features Jack Qakie in "The Gang Buster" as Manager Leon Osier has engaged George Wade and His Corn Husk- ers, radio stars of station C-K-G-W, as a special vaudeville offering, With a company of fifteen talented artists, The Corn Huskers will keep things humming for twenty minutes or more with clever songs, dances and musical selections and their first stage appearance in Oshawa should draw packed houses to the popular Regent during their local engage- ment, Their act will be presented twice nightly, commencing 'at seven-thirty and nine-thirty. There will not he any matinee presentatiolbs of the act, but the usual hivh class screefi programme will be offered cach af- ternoon. WOMAN WITHOUT COUNTRY FINDS REFUGE IN CANADA Dominion Reports Windsor Case Decided on Compas- sionate Grounds am Ottawa, March 27.--The anomal- ies which the conflicting natural ization regulations of Canada, Great Britain and the United States give rise to, and their accompanying hardships, were exemplified in a return tabled in the House of Com- mons yesterday by Hon. Wesley Gordon, Minister of Immigration. The return showed that only five permits for entry into Canada had been issued by the department since the last session of Parliament One case was that of Mrs. Paul Roherts, of Windsor, Ont. The par- ticulars explaining the reason for issuing a permit to her show this woman to be a person "without a country." Born in Scotland, she came to Canada in 1912, and a year later proceeded to the [United States, where she married an American citizen. Coming to Canada for a day's visit a year ago, Mr. and Mrs. Roberts crogsed by ferry from De- troit to Windsor. Returning that night, Mrs. Roberts was rejected by the United States immigration au- who will have an op- portunity of seeing them in person. There are fifteen people in the act which will be presented Tuesday and Wednesday nights only at 7.30: and 9.30 on the stage preceeding the fea- ture screen presentation, theatregowers, Today and Monday Y TORN RELL) aT! oo Mighty Sequel to "BEAU GESTE" 14 DAYS ONLY * 2- 2 Humanity Will Never Forget This Terrific Production!

As her marriage took place subse- quent to the passing of the Cable Act by the United States Congress, she was not regarded as an Amer- can, citizen. She had no right to remain in Canada, as, by her mar- riage to an alien, she had forfeited her British gitizenship. On compas. sionate grounds, however, she was granted a permit for one year's re- sidence in this country. Her hus- band was able to support her, and they took up residence in Windsor, Mr. Roberts working in Detroit. Mrs. Roberts could not be de- ported to Scotland, being now an alien under British law; and she could not be admitted to the United States, being an alien to that coun- try under United States law. Her permit for residence in this country expires on December 20, 1931. te mee nn: CANON CODY MAY BECOME BISHOP Report Is That He May Be Named Archbishop of Rupert's Land Winnipeg, Man, March 28---Dele- gates from 11 Anglican dioceses in Western Canada will convene in Winnipeg on April 15 to elect a new metropolitan for the diocese of Ru- pert's Land and speculation is rife throughout Canada as to who will succeed the Rt. Rev. S. P. Mathe- son as archbishop. Outstanding among names men- tioned in connection with the bis- hopric is that of Canon H. J. Cody, rector of St. Paul's Toronto. Canon Cody for a generation has been one of the foremost figures of the Church of England in Canada. As an inducement for him to accept the post it has been suggested that the primacy of all Canada might fall to him. The latter office, however, dian House of Bishope. Only One Parish on Cody has been identified with! only one parish--8t. Paul's, with which he became connected in 1894. One of the founders of Ridley College, in St. Catharines, he alse assisted in the founding of Havergal College, Toronto. Seniority among the bishops in the ecclesiastical province of Ru- pert"s Land lies with Bishop I. Stringer, of the Yukon, but it understood he is unwilling to al- low his name to go before delegates. Bishop A. U. dePencier, of New Westminster, is also mentioned, but as he is already metropolitan of | the ecclesiastical province of Bri- tish Columbia, it is thought he would not consider nomination, Others Mentioned Two younger bishops, favorably regarded, are Rt. Hon. I. R. Sher- man, bishop of Calgary and Rt. Rev, J. A. Richardson, bishop of Fred- ericton. Both are well known in Winnipeg, Bishop Richardson guad- uated from St. John's College in 1808 and later was made rector of St. Luke's Church. In 1900 he left for Fredericton, N.C., succeeding to the sce six years later. BiShop Sher- man was born in Fredericton. Grad. uating from Oxford university he was ordained priest by the present bishop of London in St Paul's cathe- dral, in 1913. On his return to Can- ada he was given the curacy of Trinity Church, St. John's. Later he became rector of Holy Trinity chureh, Toronto, and in 1027 was elected bishop of Calgary. Of the eleven bishops represent- ed at the conference two dioceses will be vacant. Only nine bishops, therefore, will be in attendance in addition to the clergy and lay dele- gates from each diocese, JUDGE ADVOCATES USE OF LASH AS CRIME DETERRENT Chief Justice MacDonald of | Manitoba Believes It Is | Effective Winnipeg, Man,, March 28.--To whip or not to whip is the vexatious problem at present engaging the keen attention of the city's legal { luminaries. Chief Justice MacDon- [ald, recently, in sentencing five ban- dits to penitentiary and lash left no doubt as to what he considered fit and proper punishment for those Ho persist in crimes and pecadil- oes. "I believe thoroughly in the lash," remarked the chief justice. Lately I have received some first-hand in- formation through a convict te whom the lash has been recently ap. plied. He received ten lashes. He suf- fered so much he states he never again will take the chances of being whipped. He feels no resentment against society and admits getting what he deserved--a just adminis- tratfon of the law. And the law pre- scribes a whipping." Apropos of the severity of the punishment, what about tie mental suffering of the vietim of a holdup, It is never erased, he said. Justice MacDonald holds no | brief for those who denounce severe sentences for young thugs. The well-known Scottish wool- len firm of Patons and Baldwine, Ltd., have purchased a three-acre factory site near Toronto, On- tario, where a large woollen mill is planned. - H "i "One Heavenly Night," opening Tuesday at the New Martin Theatre, brought a welcome gift to American picture lovers in the pgreon and voice 'of a lovely English light opera star, Evelyn Laye. Appearing mn a richly mounted production, with dis- tinguished support, an unusual story and melodious music, Miss screen debut was auspicious. A romantic comedy 'with music, the picture provides opportunities for the vocal efforts of both Miss Laye and John Boles in a love episode that, while the outcome is not hard Ito imagine, yet held the interest of a capacity audience to the end, The drama unfolds in dialogue, action and son. The dialogue is fine, the ac- tion well timed and convincing, and the portrayal of the cabaret and night life of Budapest gives frequent occasion for song bursts from the entire cast as well as the principals. The story opens with a music hall scene, very cffective as to atmios- phere and settings. Lilyan Tashman, as Fritzi, a cabaret singer, is in trouble with the police for sundry scandalous proceedings. She is ban- ished for six months to the castle a count, who as a magistrate is sup- posed to watch over her conduct dur- ing the period of her sentence. Dis- liking the proposed exile, Fritzi per- suades Lilli, a flower girl beautifully played and sung by Evely n Laye, to accept the banishment in her stead. The Count, not knowing Lilli's real character, assigns to her the real ticipates her joyful acceptance of his advances. With the discovery of the depection comes the climax, in which Laye's | Fritzi's colorful reputation, and an- | Baht New Martin Presents New Film Star In | "One Heavenly Night" the old love problem is solved in the | good old way, that owes much to the romantic at- mosphere of the story and more to an all-star cast of principals, and the support of a large and well-directed company, Evelyn Laye, as Lilli, brings to the screen a richly beautiful voice, and remarkable artistry as comedienne, She is a distinct acquisition to the American screen. John Boles was particularly effective in a role that called for much dynamic nower and fire. He looked and acted the part of 'lover-hero to everyone's satisfac. tion. Hilarious is the character cn- trusted to Leon Errol, whose ridicu- lous legs are no more funny than his clever delivery of indisputably comi- cal lines. . His every annearance was the signal for uproarious laughter. He at times threatened to steal the show, but the brilliant direction of George Fitzmaurice maintained a proper balance between the various elements with good and satisfying effect. Lilyan Tashman as the lady of unblushing indiscretions was never more fittingly cast. She was in sup- reme command of her role at all times. Surprisingly enough, the story is vy Louis Bromfield, who as a serious din novelist of the first rank, would scarcely be exnected to pro- vide screen fare of such highly en- tertaining gait. To Mr. Sidney Howard . the playwright, goes the credit - for the screen adaptation while the music is by Herb Brown and Bruno Granchstaedten. We recommend "One Heavenly | Night" as excellent entertainment. can only be bestowed by the Cane- SPEEDY EMPIRE AIRMAIL PLANNED Eight Day "Service From England to Australia to In his career as clergyman, Can- | { | build immediately fast aeroplanes which could maintain such a sched- ule with ease, cruising with full load of mails on board at speeds around 150 and 160 miles an hour. Sir Robert McLean pointed out that the average speed in summer on the Indian air route between London and Karachi, operated by air liners carrying mails and pas- sengers, was about 28 miles an hour, taking into account all stops, Mails, he added, should not be kept | stationary for 16 hours of the 24 ' | London, 28.--Day end | March is | don with the most distant parts of | because they had to travel at the same rate as passengers.

Where traffic did not justify sep- |the Empire in little more than a arate passenger and mail services week, are, according to authorita- |tive British expert opinion, well within the bounds of possibility. A schedule of regular, business- | like operation, dependent on the | establishment of high-speed ser- vices concerned solely with the car. riage of mails, was sketched by Sir Robert McLean, one of the leading men in the British aircraft indus- try, in the course of an interview | with Lord Amulree, the Air Minis- ter, arranged for a deputation of the London Chamber of Commerce. It epitomizes the possibilities of im- mediate and dramatic acceleration in all existing air services. The times quoted Were: London to Calcutta ...3% days London to Bydney ....7!4 days London to Wellington, '24-Hour Schedule Acceleration of this order invol- ves a 24-hour schedule throughout the flight and the efficient lighting for right navigation of the routes. Given this organization there is no doubt that British aircraft con- 4 days structions are today in a position to over a route mail service operating on a 24-hour schedule should be given preference. Extending The Route Lord Amulree, who expressed much sympathy with the opinion that the development of efficient day and night air mail services was desirable, stated that proposals for extending the England-India ser- vice to Australia were being con- sidered by Australia and by the Governments of India and of the Straits Settlements. The advance in speed and efficiency of British | military aircraft during recent years has an important bearing on this desired development of Em- pire air services. The latest Brit- ish one and two seater fighting aeroplanes attain speeds of approxi- mately 220 and 180 miles an hour respectively even when carrying a gervice load; the latest multi-en- gined bombers are little behind them. Evperience gainéd in the design, building and flying of these service planes is already being in- corporated in the construction of civil aircraft , thus developing a plot | Nacio | WESTERN FARMER 15 RESOURCEFUL sells Badger Hole to Store: keeper, But No Badger Cadillac, Sask., March 28.--In this depressed period resourceful-! ness has been shown b¥ many an] astute citizen seeking to Increase the family exchequer. The palm is awarded to an enterprising young farmer of this district, however, for initating something really ori- ginal in the way of badger games. Discovering a likely lookng hole on his farm, he set his brains to work and walked to town where he interviewed one of the town's store- keepers. The farmer put over his proposition dnd sold the badger hole to the storekeeper for $5.00. The storekeeper went out to the farm, trapped a nice fat badger and | sold the pelt for $23 Two weeks later the young farm- er took his dog for a walk around the farm. Coming to a likely- looking spot he instructed the dog to dig. When a likely-looking hole had been excavated the farmer again proceeded to town to inter-| view the storekeeper. The storekeeper is still for the badger to.come up. waiting 'SCHEME OF SHALL FARMS PROPOSED Phas Being g Sponsored jh Saskatchewan to Help Unemployment | Saskatoon, Sask, March 28. | Creation of garden *"cities'" in Sal { katchewan to check the annual treks {of farm folk into the cities and pros vide relief from the heavy winte: relief disbursements was the pan< acen offered here recently at al meeting of leading elvic bodies: sponsored by Mayor J.
