THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1930 PAGE SEVEN Interesting Pen Impres- sions of the Coming Attractions on (EX J Who's Who & What's What in the Amuse- ment World Amos 'n' Andy Come To Life On Regent Screen The Fresh Ajr Taxicab Company of America, Incorpulated, has come to the talking screen. Yes, sir, the famous radio entertainers, Amos 'n' Andy, are now the attraction at the Regent Theatre where their first full length talking comedy, "Check And Double Check", is holding forth, Re- vealing themselves to be as funny and as entertaining on the audible screen as they ever have been on the air, Amos 'n' Andy, Kingfish, the lodge and the unseen Ruby Taylor | and Madam Queen are all part and parcel of an uproarious, always di- verting comedy that should make Amos 'n' Andy (if it is possible) more popular than ever. From beginning to end, the appro- priately titled "Check and Double Check" is the kind of comedy you hoped to see Amos 'n' Andy in. There they are on the screen. The drawling, self-important Andy, the excitable, pop-eyed Amos, doing all those side-splitting things you've been listening to for the past year. As a matter of fact, on the screen, all these things seem much funnier, for Amos 'n' Andy are natural com- edians who are thoroughly at home before the camera and microphone. Tossing "checks," "double checks" and "I'sc regusted" around with reck- less abandon, Amos 'n' Andy arc a barrel of fun, playing their roles of President and man of all work of the Fresh Air Taxicab Company with evident enjoyment and enthusiasm, In brief the Amos 'n' Andy of the radio come to life on the audible screen in a manner to pleasc the most rabid Amos 'n' Andy tau. And i there are any who are not Amos ' Andy fans now they are surc to after seeing "Check and Double Check." | A strong supporting cast is scen in Support of the king pins of the air, headed by that pleasing ingenue, Suc Carol; Irene Rich, Charles Morton, and Duke Ellington (himself) and his well-¥nown Cotton Club Orchestra, The first Amos 'n' Andy talking comedy, "Check and Double Check", was directed by Melville Brown. The engagement of "Check and Double Check" at the Regent Theatre com- mences today and continues until next Wednesday night. A uwost ap. propriate featurette "Armistice Mem. ories" is included on the same pro- gramme in addition to many others enjoyable items, ALBERTA COAL MORE POPULAR Gains Materially in Mani- toba and May Replace American Coal Edmonton, Alta.--Sale of Alber- la industrial coal in the province of Manitoba has increased considera- bly of late and this is attributed to the subvention of $1 per ton which was granted on June I, last, Since that date the shipments of coal to the Manitoba market has reached the figure of approximately 100,000 tous, and F. G. Neate, secretary of the Dominien Fuel Board, estjmates that at this rate between 300,000 and 400,000 tons may.be marketed within the year of the subvention. "What we should aim to do is to push the American industrial coal out of the Manitoba market, Mr. Neate said in an interview here re- cently. This amounted to about 100,000 tons a year. Under the subvention, Mr. Neate said, the Alberta coal mine opera- tors appeared to be pleased with the Increased sale of coal to Manitoba, and some of them had obtained a bigger market in the province than they had anticipated. A Substantial increases were being 160ked for in the immediate future. The federal subvention will be in effect until June 15, next, but a year's exten- sion has been granted on the spe- cial freight rate of $6.75 per ton to the Ontario market. Alberta mine operators are seek- ing a subvention on railway coal shipped from the province of Alber- ta to points east of Kenora, which, if granted, would possibly open a market for about 400,000 tons of coal from Alberta. This matter is now under consideration. It is un- derstood the views of the operators are being obtained, after which the question will be taken up with the rajlway companies. However, ac- cording to Mr. Neate the whole question is one of government pol- icy to be decided after reports have been received by the federal author. ities from the operators and rail waye. The Ontario market for Alberta coal was opening gradually and slowly, Mr. Neate said, there being stiff competition, especially in the | Five 'Missions' (Indian Settlements line of coke, which was being pro- duced at plants in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec at the. rate of about 700,000 or 800,000 tons a year. | PAY TRIBUTE TO GREAT FARMER Sir Francis Watts Was Prin- cipal of Imperial Col- lege, Trinidad Port of Spain, Trinidad. --Agri- culturists from all parts of Trini- dad, standing with bowed heads in Radio's most famous comedians, AMOS 'N' ANDY, bridge the gap | mencing today. from ether to the screen in their first all-talking motion picture, showing at the 4 And Double Check" "Check Regent theatre for four days, com- ON( SHOTS AND CLOSE oP. a rude little wooden hut in the heart of the Arena Forest, recently paid tribute to the memory of the late Sir Francis Watts. .Hon.
