THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1930 PAGE SEVEN Interesting Pen Impres- sions of the Coming Attractions on Who's Who & What's What in the Amuse- ment World ¢ FE IRA "Border Romance" ATR pay She's petite and she's cute and - she's clever and If you aren't care ful with your vowels you can turn her name, but a substitution of an "a" for an "i" into a destroyer « --but = Armida herself couldn't destroy anything bigger than a fly. Armida is the sparkling-eyed little Mexican heroine of 'Border Romance," the Tiffany all-talking- and-music outdoor drama, shows ing now at the New Martin thea- tre. She was born in- the small town of La Colorado, Sonora, Mexico. At the age of seven, Ar- mida: was allowed by her father, Joaquin Vendrell, who had moved to Douglas, Arizona, and there ace quired a theatre, to go on the stage and sing and dance, With only inherent talent and no train. ing, she made an instant hit and during "school vacations continued the work for several years, Today Armida fs nineteen and playing leading roles in important talking pictures, From Douglas, Los Angeles, Armida went to playing in Spanish theatres. A representative of Fanchon and Marco saw her. and gave her a featured position, dan- cing' and' singing, in prologues, Jus Edwards saw her, took her to New York and around the coun try on the old Kelth-Alhee circuit, and then took her back to MGM, where she was featured in two Pramas Fee TEASE AEs CONSTANCE BENNETT -As she appears with Lew Ayres in "7 "the sensational all-talking dra. matic triumph, "Common Clay" which will be featured at the Regent Thursday and Friday of next week, Armida, Don Terry, Showing At The New Martin Tonight : A Gallant, Dashing American--A Spunky, Sparkling Sen. orita--A Gun Pulled and Another Fired--Horse Thieves --Rurales--All Providing Romance, Adventure and Thrills for "Border Romance" Starring dancing and singing short subjects. After that John Barrymore picked her for a well-remembered role in "General Crack," which won her the 'hightest commenda- tion from the critics, Following this, she played in 'Under the Texas Moon" and "On the Bor der." Armida's edusation was obtain. ed chiefly at the Lincoln School in Phoenix and St, Joseph's convent in Los Angeles, Aside from the excellent instruction and advice of Gus Edwards during her tour around the country she has never received any training. For years before this she had practiced her own steps and songs in ber own fashion, and the result is a per- sonality as distinctive as it is at tractive. All the talent and pep that Ar- mida has is bundled up in ninety pounds of flesh, She is four feet, eleven inches tall and has brown eyes and black hair, ASK PROTECTION FOR SALMON STOCK Anglers Seek to Guard Against Placing Dams in Spawning Streams Wndsor, N.B.-~The West Hants Fish and Game Association has passed a resolution, which has been communicated to Federal officials, to the effect that the salmon and trout fishing streams should not be further encroached on by ob: structiohs, dama, and other imedi- ments without fully safeguarding the right of the fish to ascend the river, It is understood that the Associa- tion takes the view that salmon and trout Ashing i= one of the great attractions for the tourist trade, and as the tourist trafic means so much to Nova Scotia nothing should be allowed to interfere. with its development, Tt 1s reported that omeials of the Marine and fisheries Department at Ottawa have tacitly admitted that salmon fishing and hydro de- velopment cannot go along hand in hand, The law provides that adequate fishways approved by the officials of the Marine and Fisher- fes Department must be installed in every dam to permit the fish to ascend the rivers to spawn, al- [Aun rsas-------------- law in this' regard has not been complied with in some of the larg- er power developments in the Pro- vince, Jiven in eases whers fishways have heen installed and the fish have gone up the ladders, no way has heen found to prevent the re- turning fish, large and small, from being destroyed in large numbers by passing through the turbines. Nearly all the water goes through the turbines, and naturally the sal- mon will follow the heavy water, with disastrous results to the figh, The fish in their natural course ascend to the headwaters where they find suitable sand and gravel patches on which to deposit their spawn, In case of power develop ments, necessitating a continuous flow of water throughout the dry season, the fish continue to fre- quent these rivers below the dam, but as there is little or no spawn- ing ground so far down the rivers, some members of the West Hants Association feel that it is only a matter of time until the number of salmon below as well ag above the dams will be decimated, and fishing in some of the previously best streams of the province will pe a thing of the past Naturally the questicn is no lime ited to salmon alone because gas poreaux and other small fish, on which the big fish live, eannot con tinue to multiply unless they toon | can ascend the rivers to spawn This further tends to diminish the supply of fish, affecting not only the fly fishermen, the tourists and others, but the net fishermen along | the shore, North Sydney, N.8 --This port will be again honored by a visit from the Roosevelt used by Robert Peary on his trip to the North Pole and now known as the Eleanor Bol- ling, which recently returned from the South Pole as a supply ship to Richard Byrd 7 sx 07 AC ARTE tlantic City . is always 663 ER in season There's never a dull moment et Atlantic all-year-round on-time! slr=gporta= at a week-end, with us, you'll return homefesi- ing ht=fresh--=vigorous!

Chief of the Micmac In- dians, whose childhood playground was the wilderness trail between L'lauille and lake Kedgemakoo- now rides in his own motor car, listens to hiy own radio and would like to take a ride in an acroplane, Ho was born in the reign of Wil- Ham 1V and celebrated his 100th birthday recently but retains all tho vigor and brightness of a "youth of sixty. Chief Ben lives in the midst of hig people at the Indian settlement of I'Equille, near this ancient town and 'gladly relates, to all who call ut his cottage, the stirring tales of pioneer days when the numerous hunting and fishing resorts in this digtriet, now approached by smooth highways, were locked 'behind trackless forest to which 'only the Indian held the key. Born near Lake Kedgemakooge, Ben lived in the teepoo of his fath- er until he was 19 when he follows ed the trail to Bear River and set out to geo the world on a barkens tine bound for Boston, But the life of a sailor was not the life for uw son of the woodlands and young Pictou returned after two years of wandering, settling at L'Equille.
