PORT SAS = BA CTR BBO Ee It THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1929 Interesting Pen Impressions of the Coming At- tractionson . . . CHARLES FARRELL IN 'FAZIL A FL. OF DESERT LIFE Romance and Splendour ; Feature Fine Dramatiza- tion of Life of Desert ' Prince 3 Charles Farrell is promised in a totally different type of char acterization in the title role of "Fazil," the new Fox film which will be presented at the Regent Theatre three days beginning Monday. In this Howard Hawks production Farrell, co-featured with Greta Nissen, portrays a man of great self-will, but it is quite distinct from the cocksure confid- ence in Chico ni "Seventh Heaven" or the dreamy aspirations of Gino in "Street Angel." The gelf-assurance of Chico was the ingenuous and infectious con- ceit of a lowly sewer workman who believed that some day he would reach the heights. The mas- terfulness of Fazil is the inflex- ible assurance 6f the man who has arrived, the superb arrogance of a prince. For Farrell typifies a sheik of the desert, a leader of his people whose family has "be- longed" for centuries and who is constantly but not annoyingly aware of that fact. The intensity of his personality ig heightened by the immutable tradition of his race in which he is steeped. At the same time he has a youthful impetuosity.

In this screen on of Pierre *Frondaie's play, 'L'Insou- mise" he is 'made the motivating force for a dramatic struggle be- tween the 'convictiong of 'East and 'West, He moves through Venice, |} where he captures the first woman who has ever moved his heart; through Paris, where 'he takes her on his honeymoon, and through Arabla, where the conflict that in- 'eévitably ferments between the pair moves to its end. The Fox company has essayed in this pleture to put such a union to its logical test and its logical conclusion, rather than develop it along the lines of the sugary tales of desert amours whick have ap- peared lately. At the same time they have aimd to preserve the ro- mantic values, as might be evi- dent from their inclusion in the cast of Greta Nissen. ¢ She portrays the pleasure-scek- ing Parisian girl who enters all unwittingly into a situaiion fraught with dynamite. That sit- wation brings out, with its picture of a Mohammedan seraglio, the curious paradox in the viewpoint of Eastern men, who rigorously demand the single standard of their women yet feel fully sanc- tioned in keeping a harem them- selves. Collegiate Chatter Arthur Slyfield, librarian of the Oshawa Collegiate, is in Washing- ton, D.C., attending the American Libraries Association Conference, which is being held in the Munici- pal Auditorium, May 13--18. Mr. Slyfield will be the only Ontario re- preseatative at the conference and the only Canadian representative to address the gathering, which in- cludes librarians from practically all states. The subject of Mr, Slytield's address will be, "A Sur- vey of Ontario School Libraries." It is worthy of note that the Osh- awa Collegiate which has had an inaugurated library just two years is representing Ontario at such an event, . Before returning on May 24, Mr. Slytield will enjoy a trip through several of the southern states, in- cluding Tennessee and Virginia, A party of the convention members will make the trip.also in order to inspect some of the libraries of the cities visited.

Mr, Patterson for the past two years has been in charge of all boys' physical training and athle- tic, with the exception of the sea- ior rugby team which is coached by Mr. Kirkland, also several P.T. classes handled by Mr. Mackenzie.

CANADIAN ARTISTS WELL REPRESENTED Collection Well Divided Be- tween Modern and Aca- demic Tendencies Ottawa, Ont., May 18.--Thirty of the most interesting works in painting and scupture which were entered for the Willingdon Arts competition are now on exhibit at the National Gallery. That the response by Canadian artist to His Excellency's contest was general is manifest by the collection being fairly well divided between mod- ern and academic' tendencies. Here and there the works display a definitely original outlook.

With. regard to the sculpture, Elizabeth Wood's 'Passing Rain", a brilliant and original effort on landscape sculpture, divided the honors with a well-constructed and strongly modelled head by Sylvia D'Aoust, while honorable mentions awarded to John Byers for his "Portrait Mask" and Claude Gray for his "Chief Little Fars" repre- sented the decorative and repre- sentative qualities. Owing to a misunderstanding, the name of Henri Hebert R.C.A. was included as having been awarded an hon- orable mention.

For many of them, doctors feared death loomed close at hand, The disaster death toll stoo at 125, but the element of what physicians called "delayed reaction," darkly men- aced the other victims who still were living, ¢ : A typical example of "delayed re- action" was given today' when Ben Jones, former professional . football player, died -at his home in Grove City, Pa. Jones told friends after he was removed irom the clinic follow- ing the 'explosion that he felt no ill effects from the experience. He mo- tored 150 miles to his home and died soon after arrival $ While hospital attendants admin- istered oxygen and did every other thing within their power to prevent additional deaths among the stricken, several investigations of the disaster were in progress.

DEMISE OF AUTOS DUE T0 BAD ROADS Be Retired in 1929 | MAKE FINE BONFIRES Chicago and Los Angeles Both Have Cremation Plants | | } Cars that have gasped out their last bit of usefulness, two million strong and of a one time valué of two billion dollars, will during 1929 pass into oblivion through smash-ups, cremation, and junk- ing. g onfires, whose chief fodder are automobiles used to the point of exhaustion, are now the latest thing in making certain the cdm- plete removal of old wrecks from highways. Los Angeles and Chi- cago have both recently burned geveral hundred cars in public de- monstrations. With the automobile registration figure for the U. S. A. nearing 26,- 000,000 vehicles, a fairly large re- placement sales volume is to be expected. The spread of good rouus, however, is lengtehning car service. One of the greatest costs the mo- tor owner faces is that of depreci- ation. Aside from bad driving, which includes undye ripping of poles and other peoples' cars, the road surface over which the car is driven has most to do with its pre- mature death. Replacement and repairing of broken springs and other disrupt- ed parts of the 'car's anatomy cost sizeable sums, and strangely, rare indeed is the motor owner who reckons these charges as tolls col- lected by bad roads. Modern auto- mobiles are well built and certain- ly most breakage cannot be right- fully charged to ordinary wear and tear.

It is a hurricane of laughs and keeps the audience in a constant state of mirth from the opening "shot" to the final "closeup." If the reaction of the spectators is at all acurate as an indicator, this picture should add immensely to Mr. Denny's already overwhelming popularity, Denny plays the part of a young millionaire, recently returned from an extensive trip to Africa, who falls in love with a strange girl whom he sees in a dining room of an exclusive hotel. He is unable to ascertain her name but learns that she is sailing that day for an ocean voyage. He is unable to secure passage on the same boat but comes across a friend of his who is booked to take the cruise for his health and does not want to go. Denny changes places with him sails under his name and promises not to reveal the fraud. You can picture his consternation when he learns, on board ship, that he is supposed to be a mentally unsound invalid. The antics of the sparkling Denny in this situation and the fact that he is mistaken for a detective by two jewel thieves, who are taking the same boat, combine to furnish one of the most hilarious comedies that have appeared here in many months, Olive Hasbrouck is delightful as the heroine and Lucien Littlefield is a riot as the male nurse who 13 the bane of Denny's existence. Co- lette Merton and Otis Harlan of- fer a very realistic performance as the two crooks, Joseph P. Henabery, who has di- rected some of Denny's outstanding hits, handles the megaphone very capably. The story is an adaptation done by Earle Snell and Gladys Lehman from E, J. Rath"s popular novel, "When the Devil Was Sick." SPLENDID FILM 1S LATEST RELEASE Reginald Denny's newest, and finest comedy, "Clear the Decks," is to be the attractive offering of the New Martin Theatre starting Monday. Denny enacts the role of a weal- thy young engineer, just returneu from an extensive trip to Africa, who falls in love with a beautiful girl. He is unable to learn her name but ascertains that she is embarking that afternon on the 8.8. Kee Wee. Unable to secure accommodations upon the boat he | i friend of his who is supposed to be slightly unbalanced, and is being compelled to take the voyage for his health. 'While on board. ship, Denny is forced to submit to various trials and tribulations to preserve his' incognito. These hilarious situa~ tions, combined with the machina~ tions of a gang of jewel thieves aboard the same ship, who mis- take Denny for a detective, provide Denny with one of the most up- roarious comedy stories of his car< eer. "Fazil" Screened in ™ The Arizona Desert For two weeks, under a blaziug sun that made the Arizona desert a blast furnace, where humaus shrivelled beneath the heat radi- ating from that maddened, copper- red orb which cast a mirage into the sultry flame-blue sky, the piec- ture company making "Fazil," un- der Howard Hawks' direcuon, worked as long as there was good light for filming a scene.
