"Irish Luck" is the story of a bellâ€" | hop "detective," who goes lcoking for trouble, and finds it. Murder is comâ€" mitted at the Hotel Royale, and Buzzy O‘Brien is hot on the trail of killers, much to the disgust and annoyance of t practically everybody, especially Steve Lanahan, police captain friend of the family who spehds most of his time | getting Buzzy out of difficulties. When Buzzy‘s Irish heart goes out to Kitty Monahan, who needs a friend, he finds himself involved in theft, murâ€" der, and blackmail, and even Steve has a tough time helping him, because Buzzy likes to do his own "investiâ€" gating," and is constantly double= crossing his policeman pal. Buzzy makes an enemy of Fluger, the house detective, a most unwilling ally of his softâ€"hearted mother, and a partner in crime of the colored porter, Jefferson, before he finally solves the mystery and is saved fram an untimely end by Steve Lanahan. A surprise ending is the feature of "Trish Luck," and there are as many thrills as laughs before the exciting climax of the film is reached. Frankie Darro is supreme in the comedy role of Buzzy O‘Brien, and gives a real life portrait of the wideâ€" ’.awake Irish kid who is two Jjumps ahead of disaster. Darro shares honors with Mantan Moreland, colored comeâ€" dian who gets every possible laugh from his role of Jefferson. porter at the hotel, forced into "criminal investigation" by ‘Buzzy. S | 10 CEDAR STREET NORTH Another "tcps" performance is that of Dick Purcell, as Lanahan, who gets his hands on the missing Buzzy just in time. Lillian Elliot again plays Darro‘s harassed mother, and wins the smiles and sympathy of the audience. James Flavin, as the house detective, is a suave villain, and Sheila Darcy and Dennis Moore are excellent as the boy and girl in the case. "Trish Luck" was directed by Howard Bretherton from a wellâ€"written screenâ€" play by Mary McCarthy. § ’I"he'picture was Grant Withers‘ first producing job. The film star was an inveterate pracâ€" tical joker. At his Hollywood home he had an electric chairâ€"disguised as Jn ordinary upholstered one. As soon as a guest had relaxed in it the actor would leap high in the air, tingling with the shock. One day a pretty girl came to interâ€"} view"him. She sat down in the electric| chair, and the film star could not resist | pressing the button. Nothing happened. â€" T there with shining eves animatedlyv. Finally the actor asked: "Don‘t you feel rather strange?" The girl replied: "Oh, yesâ€"just as if electricity were flowing through meâ€" but I always feel like that when I‘m talking to film stars, they‘re so magâ€" netic.‘"‘â€"The Montreal Star.

"By far the greater number of you ratepayers have to work for a living and to be at your work at a certain time and be sober when you are there,. It surely is not too much to expect a township employee to do the same," Mr. Cavanazh concluded. Next testimony was given by Counâ€" cillor Heino, who seconded Councillor Cavanagh‘s motion to have Mr. Evans relieved Oof his duties. He first denied that "a certain group outside the Counâ€" cil" had had anything to do with his or the municipal body‘s decision in the case. Only place there was any discusâ€" «ion was at the Finance Committee lmeetings, he said. Reasens for his action, said Mr. Heino were: 1. It was not until the members of the Finance Committee had been to Timmins two or three times that the report and recommendations of the auditor were put into practice by the clerk. 2. Some time ago last year the Counâ€" cil asked the clerk to draw up list of the township insurance in order that a summary might be made. It was not done. 3. The Council asked the clerk to notify the tenants in the township building regarding certain matters. It was not done. 4. Last fall the Council asked for a list of the accounts receivable, water, sewer and taxes. They got the ‘watcr accounts but no tax or sewer accounts. 5. Mr. Evans was directly connected with the mining company occupying space in the top of the township buildâ€" ing. That company was in aArreers of rent to the amount of $400. 6. Mr. Heino charged carelessness with the matter of widening Railroad Street and property transfers. 7. Believing there were irregulariâ€" ties in relief last fall, the Council asked Mr. Evans to investigate. He never did. 8 The Council asked Mr. FEvans that ne must abide by government regulaâ€" tions in the matter of relief vouchers. He never did. 9. On three different occasions he called the township office only to find Mr. Evans out. _â€""I happened to be in another placs and I found Mr. Evans under the inâ€" fluencse of alcohol when he should have been at the office," Mr. Heino charged. A reâ€"hash of what the other members 1of Council had said was given by Mr. Heimer. He referred first to the west end of the township and the establishâ€" ment o0f the Schumacher office. People there were not being treated fairly, he said, when they had to come all the way \to South Porcupine to pay their water ‘and tax bills. If things were not done in relief matâ€" ters in the manner ordered by the government there would be the same trouble in Tisdale that there was in Timminsâ€"the government would take over the administration of relief, said MVMr. Helmer. Referring to the matter of accounts, Mr. Helmer said that he knew tHiat the township was being neglected but that he left it for the Finance Commitâ€" tee to find out for itself. In a very ambiguous manner (Mr. Helmer charged that there were some township _ employees drawing *"big money" who owed money to the townâ€" ship. "The least any township employee] can do is to give the Township one hundred per cent for what he is being paid. I can‘t see why Mr. BEvans ever needed to be out of his office.

All the pro« perty it had a li¢en on should have been sold last year," he continued. In his conclusion, Mr. Helmer charged of his duties that he‘s paid to do and neglect of his office." No one, said Reeve Evans, was less desirous of seeing a man lose his job than he. Still, he concurred in the statements of other councilliors that M.r. Evans absented himself from his office during business hours; that he was, away, doing business other than the township‘s business; that he used |his office and the township building for | business other than that the township | paid him to do. | The clerk was careless, said Reeve â€"|Evans, in matters of rents, relief and ‘|taxes. His carelessness, for example, was responsible for his failure to make .\ the 1939 poll tax demands on the Holâ€" linger and the Pamour Mine and the f|consequent loss to the township of >‘ hundreds of dollars. reliet man to do the outside checking," said Mr. Helmer. The Reeve then referred to the estabâ€" lishment of the Schumacher office. It was resented by the clerk, he said, and when a comparatively "green" was put in charge the clerk gave him no assistance. When the first tax instalâ€" ment was due, for example, and thouâ€" sands of dollars were being paid in to the office, Mr.: Evans did not put in an appearance. The Reeve said that Mr. Evans did not have the proper attitude towards the public for a municipal servant. He also charged that the former clerk fallâ€" ed to provide coâ€"operation and conâ€" structive leadership for the staff under him. Only one man on the Council favourâ€" ed the exâ€"clerk. He was councillor Pairâ€" hurst. The first intimation he had that anything was wrong, said that counâ€" cillor, was on March 2, when he was called to a "little getâ€"together" in the enginger‘s office. There it was brought out. "This thing was kept secret up until that moment" said Mr. Fairhurst. He asked what the councillors had against Evans and they "spieled a long list." Mr. Fairhurst said that he told his colleagues that there was nothing brought up that could not be settled around the council table. Referring to Mr. Cavanagh‘s charges that the former clerk did not carry out the recommendations of the auditors in theii" report, Mr. Fairhurst said that the day after the "getâ€"together" he came to Timmins and went and saw Auditor Georgze Ross. Mr. Ross told him that the books were in fine shape; that the changes had been made in the Schumacher office and that everything was in good shape. Another meeting was held, this time in the clerk‘s office. "Cavanagh opened up in as coldâ€"blooded a way as it could be done,"‘ Mr. Fairhurst stated. "Sure, I‘m §# interrupted. Last summer Mr. Cavanagh thought the clerk was the "last word," Mr. Fairhurst said. What had made him change his mind? He seconded his motion last year to raise the clerk‘s salary. “Tl‘;ue, I thought we would get better service but we didn‘t," said Mr. Cavanâ€" ach. There was some bickering bazck and forth between the two men on questions and sideâ€"lines irrelevant to the subject. They were finally brought back by the Reeve who interrupted. Last summer even, continued Mr. Fairsurst, the Reeve asked him to write out a motion raising the clerk‘s salary. When it was on the table and the Reeve had the casting vote, he voted against it. -U'Ihere was nothing against Frank Evans that could not have been settled Popeye Cartoon tough guy," Cavanagh and Fox News 2 and Due to the tremendous popularity of the REVIVAL NIGHTS, the Goldfields Theatre will show EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT, commencing, Friday, Feb. 2, 1940, an outstanding hit of Last Season.

The| event was to‘ do honour to Mr. Robinâ€" son previous to his leaving for Kapusâ€" kasing where he had been appointed chief of the town fire brigade. At the time the first group of friends gathered at Mr. Robinson‘s home, the guest of honour was up town, for the party was a real surprise one. He was located, however, and steered to the fire hall, where by a strange coâ€"incidence his services seemed to be in demand. The chief suggested that there was a phone call for a chimney fire and asked "Cordy‘" if he would take the call as there did not seem to be anyone else around for the moment to go. With his usual readiness to accommodate he quickly agreed, and by another coinâ€" cidence a car being in waiting at the. hall door he was asked to use this to get to the address where the chimney fire was in progress. In an incredibly short time he was on the way home but also immediately seemed to "smell a rat,‘" but before he became too insisâ€" tent upon the discrepancies and pecuâ€" of this telephoneâ€"chimneyâ€"fire |call he was at his own home, and to use mixture of metaphors, the "eat | was out of the bag." Shortly after Mr. | Robinson‘s arrival home, Fire Chief | Borland in a few wellâ€"chosen words exâ€" RICHARD ARLEN and ANDY DEYVIN~EL in "THE MAN FROM MONTREAL" by the whole Council Mr. Fairhurst reâ€" iterated. He maintained that ‘a@all the members of Council should have sat in on the committee meeting at which i was decided to ask the clerk to resign. The matter he charged, was "cutâ€"andâ€" dried and came as a bombshell." The whole reason, said Mr. Evans, after Councillor FPairhurst finished, for not having the discussion public on the matter was to avoid hurting the former clerk or his standing in the communâ€" ity. But, such things as the failure to demand poll taxes from the Hollinger and Pamour were entirely irrevocable. There was no way to correct such misâ€" takes and the loss to the township. "Anyone would have thought you lItad a little office boy on the canpet not the township clerk," said Mr. Fairhurst. T don‘t like the dirty way it was done. There was no British fan play shown in this case." â€" : "HEROE3S OF THE SADDLE The Reeve referred to the matter of special emolument, namely $1,800, given Mr. Evans. Assuming that he had been working for a corporation on a nonâ€" contributing pension scheme he would get seventyâ€"five dollars a month for life, said Mr. Evans. So he did not beâ€" lieve $1,800 a cent too much. The stenographen got up and left and that phase of the Council meeting was over. Everything which happened after was antiâ€"climax.

The good wishes that he and Mrs. Urâ€" quhart carried from Timmins were backed by the belief that he would be equally successful in his new position. In the death of L. V. V. Lumley at schumacher ten years ago, there passed away a veteran of many wars with a remarkable record of service to his King and Country. One of his last requests was that he might be buried with military honours, and the Timmins branch of the Canadian Legion saw that his request was fully granted. The late Mr. Lumley had been ill for some time, and his death was due to pneuâ€" monia and heart failure. He left a widow and a widowed d@aughter, who had four children, in Toronto, and a son in Victoria. Among the losal items in The Adâ€" vance ten years ago were: "Mrs. A. W.
