ee I I TTR MARAIS AB URORO] Interesting Pen Impres- sions of the Coming Attractions on ... Who's Who & What's What in the Amuse- ment World Nancy Carroll at Regent In New Dramatic Triumph Again Naney Carro Carroll proves her-{ self one of the audible screen's most versatile aétresses. This popular titian-haired star, having romped ayly and successfully with Charles ogers in that amUsing musical comedy of fairways and putts, "Fol. low Thru," has turned her talents io a new Paramount comedy drama, "Laughter," in which she creates a role worthy of her well-remembered Baillie Hobart of "The Devil's Holi- ay." In "Laughter," however, the mood is lighter and gayer than in "The Devils Holiday:" the action more decisive and pointed; the dia- logue (the work of Donald Ogden Stewart) wittier and brighter. Miss Carroll's delineation of the charact- er of Peggy Gibson of "Laughter |i has more life and shading than the ambitious, heartless Hallie. It is a human, understandable charact- erization that makes Nancy Carroll pne of the talking screen's outstand- ing Inminaries. Playing opposite Miss Carroll and happily cast in one of the best roles allotted him since he deserted the New York stage for the screen is Fredric March, debonair leading man for Ruth Chatterton in "Sarah snd Son," and the young attorney of "Manslaughter." Interpreting the character of a young reckless and unconventional music composer loving Nancy and wanting her to get a divorce and marry him in Paris, March is all that could be de- sired. Here is a role that calls for light hearted, intelligent come- dy, and March, evidently enjoying his role, makes the most of it. The third leading member of this distinguished Paramount cast fis Frank Morgan, as Nancy's husband, a power in the world of finance. Morgan is now starring in the suc- cessful New York stage hit "To- paze,"" and has been seen on the screen in "Queen High" and '"Dan- gerous Nan McGrew," This is his first important screen role and his work in "Laughter" lives up to the many laudatory things that have been said about him. 'Also featured in the cast are Glenn Anders, a member of the N.Y. Theatre Guild; Diane Ellis, Leonard Carey, in a fine comedy bit as a butler; and Ol- lie Burgoyne.

THRILLING. | | - ROMANCE! BETTER MEN OFFER THEMSELVES FOR: (Continued from page 3) which only a resident of St. Thom- as, acquainted with the conditions wheh exist in that city, is in a po- sition to offer an opinion, The Council-Manager form of niunicipal control was inaugurated in Chatham after a very extended newspaper campaign of education, in which the merits of the system were' clearly outlined in an effort to convince the ratepayers that it would be: a desirible thing to ndopt. You will readily see the value of this propaganda work, when you realize that the success of any system depends almost en- tirely upon the co-operation which is received from the ratepayers at large. No system of government can be a success unless the peo- ple whom its effests are "sold" on the idea. The people of Chatham therefore were prepared to accept the Council-Manager form of con- trol when it was introduced, and were inclined to give it a fair trial, and to co-operate in making it a success. Mayor and Seven Aldermen The city of Chatham has what is known as a Council-Manager form of government. The elec- tive representgtives are a Mayor and seven aldérmen. The Mayor is elected for a term of one year, The aldermen are elected for two- veaf terms, four being elected one year and three the next. Question Number 7 asks "In your opinion is Commission form of government more satisfactory than council form of govern- ment?" This question cannot be answered as I have had no oppor- tunity to observe the working of .| some of these actually Commission form of government. Chatham's form of government is the Council-Manager system, Question Number 8: "In your opinion is city manager plan of | government better?" is also di Ci cult to answer since the sy stem In | Chatham is a combination of coun- cil and city manager control, Question Number 9: "Has the commission form of city manager plan reduced your tax rate?" The answer is "No," bug this answer | requires some explanation, For Greater Efficiency The object In instituting the Council-Manager form of govern- ment was not exclusively one to reduce the tax rate. The object was to get more efficiency in muni- cipal control; to see that full val. ue was reccived for money spent; to promote more business methods in the conduct of the city's affalrs; to co-ordinate the various depart- ments of clvic administration; to promote economy in expenditures without impairing the interests of the citizens or retarding the growth of the city; and to intro- duce such activities for the ad- vancement of the community ontalling extra expenditures----which could only be introduced through the adoption of the City Manager idea, such as industrial promotion for example, It was felt that an ex- perienced civic administrator glv- ing all of his time to municipal promotion and management, would give a class of service which could not: be equalled by elected repro sentatives who of necessity devote only. a part of their time to the w orl, Chatham's system works out in the following manner: The Maror and Council, elected by the people act as a board of directors of a great corporation, dealing chiefly with the policies which are to be adopted in the management of the city. The City Manager acts much in the same capacity as the General Manager of a great coropr- ation. He is rezponsible to the Mayor and Council, to carry out ON NEXT GALLEY their policies. It is his duty to look after the details of manage- ment, consulting the council when he considers the matter of policy is at stake, and of course, report- ing to the Council upon the man- ner in which he has carried out their instfuctions in detail, Tn all of his actions he reports to the council and asks for approval, Doing Work by Committees The City Manager performs the work which was formerly done by council committees. He receives and attends to all complaints and suggestions from ratepayers. He investigates thoroughly and promptly all matters referred to him by either the council or the citizens at large, Wth the result that many minor complaints from ratepayers 'which formerly were presented to an alderman, brought up at the next meeting of the council which in some instances might be a 'couple of weeks away, referred to a council committee to investigate and reported upon at the next council meeting---another two. weeks away--are now pre- sented direct to the City Manager. That official investigates immedi- ately. If it is something that the manager can rectify at once, the thing is done. If it is something which should bg brought before the attention of the council, the Manager presents it at the first meeting of 'he aldermen, along | with the results of his investiga- | tions and also 'his recommenda- tions for the guidance of the coun- cil, Another advantage of this, is that a paid official will usually investigate such complaints more thoroughly than 'an' elected repre" sentative, from: the mete fact that the alderman in most instances has a limited amount of time to spend in the conduct of his alder- | guanic duties, Also the Manager's | street cleaning, purchasing, | trial "Scotland Yard" at Regent on Tuesday "Scotland Yard," forceful Fox Movietone drama of an imposter's attempt to usurp another man's place in society, including the af- fections of his wife, is to have its local premiere showing at the Re- gent theatre next Tuesday after- noon when it comes to Oshawa for a two day engagement. Edmund Lowe is featured in a dual characterization in which he displays the full range of his cele- brated acting ability. As "Dankin Barrolles," notorious thief, he brings to the screen a masterful portrayal of a smooth-working man of the underworld matching his wits with the cunning of Scotland Yard, As "Sir John Lasher," he is the per- sonification of gentlemanly charm, culture and poise. To Joan Bennett, as "Xandra," wife of "Sir John Lasher," falls the honots of the femine lead. William K. Howard, who directed Lowe so effectively in "Good Inten- tions," directed 'Scotland Yard," with every attention to the subtle nuances that mark this picture. recommendations are apt to be more equitable and un-prejudiced, gince he does not have to look at every question from the stand- point of a man who will be com- pelled to appeal to the ratepayeri for political support at the end of the year. In addition to this the council is fortified and justified in the action it may take, by the in- vestigations and recommendations of a man who is devoting all ot his time, and his best judgment to questions which arise, and who, as a result of his experience from year to year in considering the problems peculiar to his communi- ty, stores up a vast amount of knowledge which is of especial value to the community, and par- ticularly to men newly elected on the council board. Councils coms and go from year to year--some of them competent, others of them probably not so competent--butl the City Manager goes on continu- ously, and the aldermen learn t¢ look to him for valuable counse which assists them to become bet ter representatives, Controls Many Departments The City Manager of Chatham has direet control over the engin- eering* department, fire depart- ment, city buildings and property, {the sanitary department, parks, indus- promotion and the General | Works department. In addition Ito this he is secretary of the po lice commission, secretary of th board of health, and has a general supervision of all administrativ departments, such as the cler treasurer, tax collectors, ete, Question Number 10 "What office staff does he place?" He replaces as ot above the formal committees /« merly appointed by the counc Since his appointment in Chathe the offices of Clerk and Treasurer have been combined, The total assessment of Chat- ham is $13,534.689.00. The rate of taxation is on the dollars, Chatham's assessment is made upon approximately 80 per cent of the actual value of property. Question Number 15: "If there has been a reduction in the num- ber of aldermen in your city; what advantage do you think that has?' The most apparent advantage is that it centralizes responsibility. Better Men Offer Services Chatham has long since discard- ed the Ward system of electing men to civie bodies. Before Coun- cll-Manager plan of government was adopted, thera was a genera: apathy displayed by good men who should have offered themselves for public service. With the intro- ducton of the present system there has been an improvement al- though conditions are not yet per- fect in this respect. They are | fact far from satisfactory. But generally spoakipg, there seems 1 Le less diffuclty getting good men interested In council work when the number of aldermen is reduc- ed, Municipal apathy in this res- pect is a problem which exists in all parts of Ontario today and Chatham is by no means free from it. Council-Manmger government has not solved tlfs problem local- ly but it undoubtedly has helpad. The abolishing of councll com- mittees has algo assisted in getting more men of ability interested in aldermanic work. Men who hesi- tate to seriously sacrifice time in looking after the | of municipal management are not [80 averse to serving on a council which virtually acts as a board of directors for thg civis corporation. With smaller councils also, alder- men have a greater realization of their responsibilities, and there- fore apply themselves more seri- ously and studiously to their duties, Smaller councils are less cum= bersome., Chatham with over 16, 000 population is governed by a Mayor, seven aldermen and a City Manager. Authority is centraliz- ed, and in the ordinary working out of the system, there is a better chance of electing only the best ot the men who offer themselves for public service. The alternating sys- tem of electing aldermen for two year terms insures cach council of possessing at least some experi- enced representatives, The fact that the Mayor is elected yearly, tends to increase the interest oi the ratepayers in the municipal elections from year to year.

Dad Martin, owner of the ranch, wagers with Cooper, a rascally ranchman, that his horse, to be ridden by Ted Duncan, will beat Cooper's in the re- lay race. Martin's daughter, Peggy, arrives from the east and all go to the sta- tion to welcome her. Mary, her old- Jer sister, ,is loved by Ted who goes to town to buy her a wedding ring. Cooper learns of this and arranges for Ted's abduction in order to pre- vent him from riding Martin's horse, Meanwhile, there is a big barn dance with excitng western special- ties, with much dancing and singing. During the rodeo exhibition, Peguy observes Cooper talking to one of his henchmen. She hides in a bush and learns that Ted is a prisoner. With Lone Pine Ranch is is agog with ns | Hank and Tom, she rides to the old shack in which Ted is tied with one of Cooper's men on guard. Peggy takes up a scantling and screams, The bandit rushes out only to be lassoed and disarmed by Hank. Peggy knocks him insensible and Ted is released. He rides madly for the Ranch and arrives in time to pilot~ Martin's horse to victory. Everybody is happy, especially Lightnin', a negro cowboy and cook who confides in his favorite frog, and consumes immense quantities of food. After the race, Ted is congratulated by Martin and Mary, Peggy reaches the ranch at this juncture and gives Mary the engagement ring of which Ted had heen deprived by his kid= napers.
