That would appeal to Emil Jannings, character star as a setting for his dramatic talents, and the idea, evol- ved by him, has been translated in- to a motion picture called "The Street of Sin" ° 4 This new Paramount production, Janning's third in America, a succes- sor to his magnificent success "The Wa: of All Flesh" is declared by many to be even more powerful in theme and characterization, It will have its local premiere at the Re- gent Theatre on Monday. The story is by Josef von Stern- berg and Benjamin Glazer, and deals with the life of a huge rowdy, who rules the slums with his fists, por- trayed by Jannings. : , The essential characters in addi- tion to the star are Fay Wray, lead- ing woman for Eric von Stroheim in "The Wedding March" and Olga Baklanova, noted actress of the Mos- cow Art Theatre, The former is a Salvation Army girl who sets up a shelter in the slums; the latter por- trays one of the fallen sisterhood who is in love with J=nnings. The saintliness of Fay Wray, the growing goodness of Madame Bakla- nova and the devilishness of Jan- nings continue almost to the end of the . picture when a tragic climax brings the star to the point of real regeneration, The texture of the background is rough but vitally interesting, a vivid slice cut from tle heart of Lime- house. The director is Mauritz Stil- ler, whose work showed so 'excel- lently in "Hotel Imperial" and "The Woman on Trial" in which he di- rected Pola Negri.

He is a genius of heart drama. Many have asked what could eclipse "The Way of All Flesh" a picture that cri- tics have declared contains the finest characterization in mo- tion picture history. The ans- wer is "The Street of Sin," which comes to the Regent Theatre on Monday for three days. It is bold, powerful, cruel as lightning, soft as moonlight, a picture of gasps, tears and heartaches, waggish humor and sordid life. The Jannings of - "Faust," "Va- riety," "Tartuffe" "The Last Laugh," "The Way of All Flesh," and "The Last Com- mand," is the Jannings of "The Street of Sin." MADE IN ABERDEEN (The Passing Show, London) A London author just returned from a holiday in the north tells me that a feature of the booksell- ers' shops and the railway station bookstalls at Aberdeen was the prominent display of the work that consists exclusively of jokes at the expense of that city and its inhabi- tants, The book is published in Dundee, but the jokes were made in Aber- deen, They are a cheap and use- ful form of advertisement.

No frost damage has been re- ported and early wheat is now past the danger stage. A score of points reported cut- ting early wheat last week, while as many more saw binders going into the fields this week. In a great many districts harvesting will be general hy August 20. Many districts will be a week to ten days ahead of last year. . Correspondents estimate wheat yields at from 20 to 40 bushels per acre, the estimates given av- eraging 30 bushels per acre, which figure maintains early estimates given for the July report, Coarse grains on the whole are reported in excellent condition with oats and barley ripening in some areas and a few early fields cut. In'new districts only did grain fail to overcome the early period of drought which tended to umever growth in June. Green feed is gen- erally reported very good and some of the best hay crops in years are noted. -- eee eee FARM CREDITS TO BE STARTED SOON System Goes Into Operation When Hon. J. A. Robb . Returns The system of farm credits au- thorized in 1927 by legislation of tion soon after the return of the minster of finance, A board consisting of four mem- bers one of whom, as chairman will be the minister, is to be ap- pointed to adminster the system. Another member w'll be the com- missioner or chief executive, For purpose of financing the en- terprise five million dollars is to be raised by bonds or advanced in cash although this is to be paid back, out of the interest on loan. In addition to this basic capital there will be a further-stock issue of which the Dominion Govern- ment and the provincial govern- ments, adhering to the plan, must subscribe five per cent. while each borrower must subscribe for 5 per cent of the sum borrowed by him and pay for the stock at the time. Provision is made for provincial boards to work in conjunction with the farm loon board. So far, Alberta, British Columbia and Nova Scotia have undertaken to participate in the plan. The objective of the system is to furnish credit to farmers and tho hope--dependant, however, upon administraton costs--is that this may be at a lower rate than that of the chartered bapks. oe Ga am parlament is to be put into opera- Time C 144 Helene Costello, sister of Dolores is featured in "Good Time Charley" the Warner Bros. production which comes to the New Martin Theatre next Monday for a run of three days. Warner Oland and Clyde Cook are also featured, and Julanne Johnston, Montagu Love and Hugh Allan are prominently cast. Michael Curtiz directed. "Good Time Charley" is from the pen of Darryl Francis Zan- uck and tells the serio-comic life drama of a small town song-and- dance-man, his trusty pal, and his orphaned daughter who grows up and triumphs of the stage while her father's star is waning. The pal has kept secret from Charley the fact that the theatrical manager has been the cause of his wife's early death, and Charley is an inmate of the Actor's Home, when he learns the truth. In mad fury he gropes his way to the office of his enemy, and with failing sight, shoots his reflection in the mirror, hastening to give himself up, as a murderer. Complications, swift and moving, tangle the lives of the actors in the glittering pan- orama--and the climax is a terrific one. There is a haunting beauty about the character of happy-go-lucky, well-meaning, erring, old Charley as played by Warner Olai.® and his changing fortune are followed with breathless interest. Never has life beyond the f{ootlights been more realistically depicted.

J. Green, farmer, living near Carp, Ont. With Mr. Green live his sis- ter, Mrs. James F. McVetty, and a hired man, John W. Murray. A few months ago they noticed a pe- culiar taste to their porridge and they gave it to a pig which died afterwards. The tea also had an unusual taste. Chief Constable McCarthy is having an analysis made of the pig's stomach, About two years ago the Green home was considerably damaged when namite which had been hidden in a stick of fire wood ex- ploded in the kitchen stove, Later the hired man, when splitting wood in th shed, found loaded cartridges embedded in tha wood, Subsequently there was another smaller explosion eviently from cartridges. Mr. Green thinks some one is try- members of his household, but knows of no enemies anywhere. 11 LIVES LOST IN A WEEK OF FLOODS Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 17.--Eleven lives and several millions of dollars damage stood as the cost of this week's storms and floods in five Southeastern States tonight as the floodwaters drained toward the sea, and cities, towns and communities emerged from isolation. Ruin from raging waters stretch- ed through the valleys of streams from Northern Virginia to the Lake Okeechebee district of Flori- da, All of the dead, except one, were inhabitants of the Carolinas or Virginia; one man was killed in Georgia. No estimates of the damage to highways in Nortp Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia were avail- able, but Georgia officials announec- ed that $300,000 would be requir- ed to restore highways torn by the flood torrents.

Others in ( the strong cast are Julanne Johnston, Montagu Love and Hugh Al- lan. Michael Curtiz directed. "Good Time Charley" is the merry, pathetic, absorbing story of the heyday and fall and final rise of the song-and- dance-man of a small town stock company. It is the story, too, of the orphaned daughter who grows into lovely womanhood, and complicates the otherwise humdrum existence of her old father. A haunting, glamorous pic- ture of life behind the foot- lights. A picture no human should miss seeing. ANGLO-FRENCH PACT WOULD CURB ITALY SAYS PARIS RUMOR London, Aug. 16. -- What are alleged to be secret clauses in the Anglo-French agreemnt have been' received from French sources. According to this intelligence there are three clauses, The first is said to be that the Mediterranean Sea is to be divided into spheres ot influence, the Eastern for Great Britain and the Western for France. This is declared to be directed against the growing in- fluence of Italy in the Near East, The second clause is said to provide that in the Pacific the British and' French fleets will co- operate from Hong Kong down through the Malay Straits to Burma, and it is stated that ap- proaches may be made to Hol- land for Dutch co-operation in the East Indies. The third clause co-operation against cles in the Atlantic.
