THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, JULY. 21, 1928 What's What and Who's Who in the Amusement World Great British Naval Spec tacle is Splendid Achievement in Flimdom "The Battles of the Coronel and Falkland Islands," to be presented at the Regent Theatre, com- mencing Monday, is the greatest naval picture produced in any country. But it is something more, Not only is it a pictorial re-enact- ment of the most stirring 'and dra- matic naval engagements of mod- ern times, but a national effort to put on record a national achieve- ment in the national interest, The producers have been given the fullest support and assistance of the Admiralty, without which indeed a filmy such scope could nev- er have been made. The Navy have, in fact, co-operated to make the fil ma chapter in the British the film a chapter in the British the producers are due to the offie- ers and men of the fleet for their valuable advice and assistance and for the time they have devoted to helping to secure results which without them would have been im- possible. It is one thing to reconstruct land battles where the actors are men and women, but quite another thing in a naval action where the stage is the sea and the real act- ors are ships of war. The naval stations at Malta, Portsmouth, Weymouth and Devonport have been visited and many hundreds of miles of sea have been traversed to secure pictures of incidents record- ed in the film, No fewer than thirty-five ships have been used, from the mighty super-dreadnought "Barham' down to the humblest dockyard tug. Counting the crews of those and the hands at the different dock- yards, between 38,000 and 40,000 men have heen concerned in the making of the picture. Over 4.000 were actually employed by the pro- ducers. On one occasion 400 dock- yard '"maties" were on the com- pany's payroll for working all night at the Portsmouth dockyard to permit night scenes to be photo- graphed. In the morning one was overheard to ask another what was the name of the film. ' 'Sons of Toil, I should think, mate," was the quick reply. INDIVIDUALISM OF ~ 11.5, DENOUNCED Philadelphia Preacher At. tacks Regime of Repub. lican Party An indictment of the intense and self-centered individualism of the Re- ublican party of the United States bas delivered by Rev. Dr. George Chalmer Richmond, former rector of Old St, John's Parish, Philadelphia, in the course of an address Wednes- day night in the lecture hall of St, James United Church on the subject, "The Religion of the United States «Is it Christian or Pagani" Dr. Richmond concluded that the Demo- . cratic Party would be victorious in the coming election because of the wing of American realism to the emocratic ranks. His remarks at some stages were objected to by members of the audience, On the subject of the Coolidge overnment, the speaker was critical, he regime, he said was too selfish and partisan and catered to the de- mands of classes rather than tothe masses. Power is their religion, ra- ther than the teachings of Jesus, he declared; they have produced a lorified capitalistic civilization which s not concerned with the welfare of the people at large. The woman today who says she as nothing to wear sounds as if she were boasting.--Brandon Sun, MAY NOT STABILIZE NEWSPRINT INDUSTRY FOR TWO YEARS YET Montreal, July 21.--Stabilized con- ditions in the newsprint industry are not expected for at least another two, and possibly, three years, It took three years for the indus- try to come back after the crash in the newsprint market in 1921, The present situation, however, cannot be compared to that of seven years ago. Then it was a case o rapidly declining values and the re- adjustment of the whole commodity price fabric, Today it is a matter of bringing down production to a point where it more nearly approxi mates consumption, For over a year The Financial Post has been pointing out that pro- duction was rapidly outstripping con- sumption, For a long time it was the general opinion that newsprint plants had to operate at rated capacity in order to make a profit, The spread. between the cost of production and selling price was limited, and it was only by operating at 100 per cent that a good profit could be made. In a recent collection of Pottery shown by a New York shop, the ex- hibits were gathered frome seven European countries and America, and included Danish, Italian, Dutch, Korean and Belgian potter- ies, French and Austrian modern- istic pieces, and crude types of pot- tery from the mountains of North Carolina and other American des- igns.

These missing men are believed to be in a position approximately 40 minutes latitude from the nearest land, it was asserted following re- ceipt of a report on the conference between the commander of the base ship, Citta di Milano, and Capt. Rii- ser Larsen, the Swedish aviator who has undertaken extensive reconnais- sances in his plane. These conditions are underlined in a comparison of notes which the Italian and Swedish officers believe make airplane ex- plorations impossible without the aid of ships. Hydroplanes to Assist Search for this group by an ice- breaker could he augmented by the two Italian hydroplanes Sista by Majors Maddalena and Penzo who now are stationed at Virgo Bay and Hinlopen respectively, it was stated here Wednesday. If any other ves- sels or planes assist, it is believed that they probably will be hased on the northeastern part of North East Land. It is reported here that the Swedish steamer Quest, which has returned to King's Bay, will not continue the search for the missing Arctic explor- ers hecause, in Lieut. Tornberg's opinion, it is hopeless to search for Professor Malmgren's body, {| EXCAVATION MAY BRING CIVILIZATION OF OLD TO LIGHT Albuquerque, N. M., July 20.-- Excavations now under way in Northern New Mexico near the headwaters of the Cimarron River are expected to reveal a prehistoric civilization which existed 20,000 years ago, according to Barnum Brown of the American Museum of Natural History, New York, Fossils of eight bison of an ex- unlike anything used by modern Indians have heen unearthed in the tinct species and seven spearheads unlike anything used by modern Indians have heen unearthed in the first sixty square feet excavated. Mr. Brown pointed out that the wpearheads are made of chalce- dony and jasper and that the craftsmanship is equalled only hy those excavated in Egypt. The scene of the excavation Is where 20,000 years ago an ancient lack was located, Mr. Brown he- lieves. He hases the time on the accumulation of strata whieh vary from 4% feet to 13 feet, Fossils of the bison indicate a more maseive animal than the buf- falo which romaed the Western plains in the nineteenth century. The hump is not so high, the head is broader, the nose narrower and the horns considerably larger. The valley in which the exca- vating has heen started Is five miles wide. Major diséoveries of valua:ble importance are expected as the work continues. With the finding of another fossil, however, the work will cease until archae- ologists of the country have been notified in order that they make a thorough inspection before any- thing is moved, AEROPLANE DUSTING OF SWAMP REGIONS MAY KILL OFF PEST (By Canadian Press) Washington, D.C., July 21.-- Hope for eventual extermination of the malaria spreading mosquito and his less dangerous, but pesky brethren is seen by Public Health Service authorities in recent re- sults of aeroplane dusting experi- ments in swampy areas near Bam- burg, S.C. These experiments have demon- strated the value of the aeroplane in spreading Paris green over large marshes and swamps where drain- age or other methods of eradica- tion are impracticable. Navy planes with dusting equipment were flown over the South Caro- lina swamps, releasing the poison- ous powder over the mosquitoes' breeding places. At least 90 per cent of the larvae, the investiga- tors estimated. were killed.

Stern Brothers have also loaned Sid Saylor to the cast, which includes Tom London, Bud Osborne, Walter Shumway and Ben Corbett. Chicago's famous underworld looks just like an ordinary business district to Lon Chaney and was a distinct disappointment to the Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer star. Chaney stopped a day in Chicago on his vacation to see what this famous district looked like. "Just another main street," he reported. At Last!

New York, July 21.--The scrap iron industry has decided to have a "czar," so it recently organized as the Eastern Scrap Iron Association and elected Benjamin Schwartz, Baltimore lawyer , as director general, "The 'junk' man developed into a big business man as a result of the war," says the announcement of the newly appointed "director" of junk, which was made public here Tuesday by J. Zimmerman, managing editor of The Waste Trade Journal. "The 'junk shop' has given way to yards of great acreage, where tens of thous- ands of tons of scrap are broken up into proper sizes by special machin- ery and classified according to' speci- fications of the mills, "With the tremendous growth of the scrap business, however, has come a multiplication of problems of modern competition. The evils exist- ing in the scrap iron trade, the lack of co-operation, the losses and waste of cut-throat competition, the failure to secure a fair profit, have been dis- cussed by leaders of the industry during the last year, with the result that the Scrap Iron and Steel Associ- ation has been organized." Mr. Schwartz has drawn up a pro- gram to bring about better under- standing among junk dealers and steel mills; to standardize specifica- tions and otherwise iron out the wrinkles in the industry. A scrap institute will be inaugurated for reg- ular discussion of trade problems, ac- cording to the announcement which : further says: "The tute also expects to study a andardize trade cus- tom, including contracts, terms of shipment, &ec, set up machinery of arbitration, establish a traffic bureau initiate a credit service, [It is hoped that thr a representative organization there will develop an appreciation on the part of the public which the of the important i the scrap iron industry occupies in pid Ass fabric of modern civiliza- Ho ch 2® Eimer of Piadelphis 0!

While horses, speed automobiles, yachts, airplanes and rallroad collisions are introduced for the purpose of thrills the en- tertainment value of the picture is by no means dependent upun these mechanies. "The Sporting Age" is a power- ful drama, well acted and carefully directed. It deals with the prob- lems of the present day and pre- sents them in a clean, wholesome manner. In place of the usual villain, this Columbia attraction has two leading men, Holmes Herbert and Carroll Nye. The former portrays the husband of the heroine, while 0 After ll 2 ESEFEEESE aa Modern Problem Portrayed wn Film "The Sporting Age" the latter delineates & youth whom the wife tries to infatuate. Belle Bennett is starred. This actress rises to the occasion and gives a powerful performance. She makes Miriam Driscoll live. In the char- acter the audience sees the matron, who upon approaching middle age makes a last desperate struggle to retain her grip om youthful lure and charm. Herbert does an excellent bit of acting as the blind man and builds up his role in masterly style. Nye wins friends with his emotional role. The scene where he is filled with: remorse at his unfaithfulness to his employer stands out vividiv as an exceptionally fine piece of work.
