This big Metroâ€"Goldwynâ€"Mayer allâ€" talking picture, in which the famous blues and sptrituals of the Southern darkies are sung, is claimed to be to the mo‘lion picture what such plays as "Pcorgy‘" and others were to the speakâ€" ing stage. In any event "Hallelujah" has attracted more attention than any ~ther picture in months. Filimed on the Mississippi cotton plantations and in Memphis, Tennesâ€" see, with an allâ€"Negro cast, it is a draâ€" matic and intimate story of the lives of the coloured folk of the South. The cast includes many wellâ€"known colourâ€" ed stage stars, such as Daniel Haynes, famous bass of the New York producâ€" tion of "Show Boat," Nina Mae Mcâ€" Kinney, Fannie Belle de Knight, forâ€" merly in "Lulu Belle" with Belasco, Victoria Spivey, the celebrated "blues" singer of phonograph record fame, Everett McGarritty, William Allen Garâ€" rison, and many others. The story is an original by the direcâ€" tor of "The Big Parade," and based on personal experiences of his own. While the cast was a New York stage cac: for the most, the negro extras were recruited from actual workers on the cotton fields, and the harvesting of cotton is the background for the picâ€" ture. The noted Dixie Jubilee Chorus sings in the sound sequences. "Hallelujah," Kinz Vidor‘s muchâ€" heralded Negro drama, to be shown at the Goldfields theatre, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan. 20th, the hospital was reached Mrs. Berndt and the other children were found to be suffering from frozen feet, hands and faces. Edna Berndt was seen to be badly burned as well as suffering seriâ€" ously from exposure. Her iungs had been so affected by the smoke that it made her an easy prey for pneumonia. Everything possible was done for Edâ€" na, but it was impossible to save her life and the brave young girl passed away on Wednssday afternson last week. that occurred. Within half an hour the Berndt family were warmed and clothed and placed as comfortably as possible in the sleigh to be taken to Cochrane. The trip by road was about seven miles and though the driver urgâ€" ed his team to the utmost it took nearâ€" ly an hour to make the trip. When SAID TO BE FIRST ALLâ€"NEGRO TALKING PICTURE FILMED | â€"Edna Berndt was awakened by the |noise of crackling flames in the house ! and at once gave the alarm, and then ,‘made her escape outside only partially clad. . When she was safely outside. | however, she found that three of the children were still in the burning house. The fire by this time had a | firm grip of the house and the smoke ,v«as fairly paralyzing. The brave .younq girl, however, dashed into the burning house and fought her way upâ€" stairs. Despite smoke and flames she made her way upstairs and succeeded in finding the three youngsters. One after another she dropped them from an upstairs window into a deep snow drift at the side of the house. Then she leaped down herself. The girl was badly burned in making the rescue, but joined her mother in taking the childâ€" ren as rapidly as possibly to the home of the nearest neighbour half a mile away. Neither mother nor children had time to save any clothing, and they had to make their way through the snow and cold only dressed in night atâ€" tire. Part of the way some of the chifldren had to be carried, and the mother and oldest daughter conseâ€" quently had a desperate time. When the shelter of the neighbour‘s house was reached the whole family collapsed. They were given warm food and clothâ€" ing by the kind neighbour‘s wife, while the man of the house brought out his horses and sleigh to take the family to the hospital at Cochrane. This neighâ€" bour and his good wife deserve speciali mention but unfortunately the newsâ€" paper despatches have no mention of the name of this family who proved such true neighbours in the disaster ; To the heroines of the North Land should be added the name of Edna Berndt, of Nahma, four miles south of Cochrane on the T. N. O. There was a fire at the Berndt home on Monâ€" day morning of last week and Edna bravely dashed im‘o the burning house to reseue her brothers and sisters from the flames. Shz sustained terrible burns, and died in the Cochrane hosâ€" pital on . Wednesday afternoon from pneumonia that developed as a result of the smoke, burns and inevitable exâ€" posure following the fire and the trip to the hospital from Nahma. Mrs. Berndt and six other children are in the hospital at Cochrane, suffering frozen feet, ears and hands. They are all expected to recover if no complicaâ€" tions ensue, but the little heroine, Edna, has passed on. The father of the home was away at the time of the fire. NAHMA HEROINE DIES IN THE GOCHRANE HOSPITAL Edna Berndt Rescued Bro‘jhers and Sisters from Fire, but Later Sucâ€" cumbs Herfeif to Pneumonia Resulting from Exposure. Fire said to had been caused by an overheated furnace destroyed the inâ€" terior of the Baptist Church, at Sudâ€" bury, early Friday morning. Damage was estimated by Fire Chief Andrews at $30,000, or 80 per cent. of the valuse of the structure. ,Owing to unfavourâ€" able weather conditions, the fire proved to be one of the most difficult to handle in the history of the department. The chief and 20 men, including voluntesr firemen, were on the job five hours, working in weather 18 degrees below zero. Two of their hose nozzles were frozen almost at the start of their operâ€" ations. They were thawed with hot water. Lieutenant David Lefebvre was overcome by smoke but was revived quickly fter reaching the zero air outâ€" side the burning building. He remainâ€" ed on the job until the last spark had been extinguished at 8..10. a.m., and is none the worse for his experience.

This meeting was for the purpose of discussing informally such matters as would be of general interest to the varâ€" ious judges in what is termed the norâ€" thern district of the province. The adâ€" ministrative problems of Northern Onâ€" tario from the legal and court standâ€" point were especially considered at the meeting on Friday. At the session of the judges on Friday last the judges had no recommendations to make, and there is no report of general pubhc inâ€" terest, Judge Proulx, of Sudbury, reâ€" ported. Only five of the nine district Judges were able to attend: Judge Proulx, Judge Hewson, of Manitoulin Island; Judge Valin, of North Bay, in the Nipissing district; Judge Stone, of Sault Ste. Marie, in the Algoma disâ€" trict, and Judge Caron, of Cochrane. FIRST ANNUAL MEETING OF JUDGES OF DISTRICT Mrs. Hew Paterson of Victoria, although large list of other prizes is being posted. The tournament will be played over the Colwood Golf and Country Club‘s course, which winds through a vast forest of Douglas firs, some of them 25 feet in circumference, and ancient, gnarled oaks and cedars dating from the time when Vancouver Island was sighted by Capt. George Vancouver. If the entry list becomes too formidable the Victoria Golf Club will be held in reserve for the overflow. All visiâ€" Vietoria, often called the "Everâ€" green City," is on the Southern tip of Vancouver Island and is one of the most picturesque and interâ€" esting cities in Canada. Is is the gateway, via the Malahat Drive, to the center of an island paradise with vast trees, lakes full of trout, big game and imposing mountains. There is splendid salmon fishing in streams which flow into the Gulf of Georgia and the Pacific. tors to Victoria are eligible for this tournament. Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"That Faisley holocaust seems to have been due to the absence of coolheadedness among adults in attendanceâ€"and smoke. In fact, a good many disasâ€" ters are caused just by smoke and loâ€"czseâ€"mindedness among people whom we would expect to stand steady. Friends in South Porcupine, Timmins. and other parts of the North will deepâ€" ly regret to learn of the death of Mrs. Alice Spence who for some seven years was a respected and esteemed resident of South Porcupine. â€" The sad event took place at the home of her daughâ€" ter, Mrs. Myrtle Turner, 14 Portland street, Toronto, on December 31st, 1929, after a long illness The cause of death was intestinal cancer. At the time of death the late Mrs. Spence was 57 years and 4 months. The funeral took place at Toronto on Jan. 2nd.

Tributes to the soundness of the soluâ€" tion of the liquor problem as worked out by the Ontario Liquor Control Act amnm1i administration come when they z2re not particularly needed. The late A. J. Allworth was well known and highly esteemed in Timâ€" mins, and there will be general regret at his death, He had been a frequent visitor here for several years past and had made wide circles of friends in town and district.

Allworth were called to Toronto last week owing to the serious illness of Mr. Allworth‘s faâ€" ther before he passed away.

Mr. Allworth, Sr., who had reached the great age of 87 years, passed away quietly on Saturday afternoon. Funâ€" eral service was held in Toronto and the remains taken to St. Thomas for burial. Two daughters, Mrs. White, of Detroit, and Mrs. Mannell, of Oakâ€" ville, and two sons, E. M., of Timmins, and L. H., of Toronto, survive. Mrs. A. J.
