THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1931 elieve Tide Turning in Favor of Old Music Hall { (By Thos. T. Champion, Canadian Press Staff Writer.) London, Sept. 15--1Is the pub- ic tiring of "talkies" and of film itertainment in general? The jestion is exercising the big men mongst the amusement caterers D ndon. There is an impres- gion' abroad that a return to the style of music-hall entertainment 20 years ago or more might ove profitable. At once the rther question arises--is there i nowadays a sufficient number of | "variety artistes' of the old-time bre to draw upon? No doubt |. f a big demand for single turn 3 verformers should arise the sup- iy will somehow be forthcoming. Perhaps it was by way of test- ng present-day public taste con- cerning the music-hall as we used to Know it that the Palladium li management put on a programnie |" which included several who used . to head the bill a generation ago. li Chief among the veterans to come forward was Gus Elen, whose re- | presentations of coster life used N ; to rival those of Albert Chevalier in the favor of the public. Not a few, indeed, believed Gus Elen to be the more, finished artist, for Chevalier's ditties--take "My Old Duteh" for example--often had something of the mawkish in their sentimentality. Gus Elen's coster, on the other hand, was al- ways robustious. One of his songs has become almost a classic. At any rate the present-day Pal- jladium audience fairly lapped up the chorus: It's a great big shame, and if she belonged to me, I'd let 'er know who's who; Naggin' +/ n feller wot is six foot three, And or only four foot two; And they 'ad'nt been married not a munff nor more, When underneaff 'er fumb goes Jim, isn't it a pity that the likes of 'er Should put upon the likes of 'im! Gus Elen is 70 years of age, but his technique remains as su- 7 Help Canadian Prosperity by eatingTWO "Shredded W heat" . Biscuits a day.

Tp perb as ever it was. '"'E Dunno Where 'E are" is the song which he made famous when the miadile -aged of today wers children, and yet, thanks to his inimitable ren- dering, it comes up as fresh as the latest flower. The Palladium programme also includes an art- 1ste every whit as clever--Vesta Victoria. How many years is it since we were all singing 'Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow bow"? Nearly 40, if we are not afraid to confess it. The "Bow Bow" song is not included in Vesta Viec- toria's present repertoire. Per- haps the refrain, if it is to be ren- derend with the volume that or- thodoxy requires, is too much for Vesta Victoria nowadays. But she gives us "Waiting at the Church," which seized the fancies of all the boys and girls of a gen- eration back. Vesta Victoria in her prime was nearly the equal of the unforgettable Marie Lloyd. A comparision indeed on some oc- casions might have tipped the sczle in favor, of Vesta. Another representative old-ti- mer in the Palladium programme is Harry Champion. The red- nosed gomedian, who flourished a battered umbrella and bawled at the top of his voice about mo- thers-in-law, about losing your clothes while bathing, and about even more delicate subjects, was common enough (sometimes in a dcuble sense) in the days gone by. Harry Champion belonged to this family of popular entertain- ers, but unlike the general ruck of them, he always had a distinct personality. Whether his style of performance is worth very much now, except as a reminder of what used to please the multitude 30 | years back, may be doubted. The reception he received at the Fal- ladium, though, shows that he is sure of a vociferous! whenever he again "obliges." |CHURGHILL STARTS 'ON CRUCIAL WEEK Grain Cars Busy and Ocean Freighters Await Oversea Cargoes Churchill, Man., Sept. 16.--In- dustry sprouted in Canada's nor- thern seaport as Churchill awoke to its crucial week. Grain cars shunted to and fro in the sprawl- ing yards, rumbled onto the wait- ing dump, disgorged their con- tents into the caverns of the 2,- 500,000 bushel elevator. Tied up at the dock, two ocean going steamers bobbed on the blue har- bor waters, waiting to carry the first grain cargoes overseas by the Hudson Bay route. By nightfall, half a million bu- shels of top grade wheat from the fields of Northern Saskatchewan will have been poured into the bins on the edge of the Churchill River. Early to-day, the remain. ing 130 grain-filled cars began to file on to the titling table where they are juggled about until the last kernel is dislodged... On Fri- day and Saturday of last week 200 cars had been dumped. All but a few cars, according to plans, will be dumped to-day, several being kept loaded so that a complete demonstration of the port facilities may be made for Hon; R. J. Manion, Minister of Railways and Canals, expected to reach Churchill Wednesday. Ele- vator operation was checked over closely to-day by two of Dr. Man- jon's departmental lieutenants, Col. A. E. Dubuc, chief engineer, and D. W. Maclachlan, engineer in charge of Churchill develop- ment. Ships Await Cargoes Loading of the Farnworth and the Warkworth, which pulled into port last week from Newcastle- on-Tyne, England and Montreal, will not begin until to-morrow. While only about one-third of the loading galleries have been com- pleted, sufficient accommodation i= afforded to permit rapid load- ing of the two vessels. Both hoats are expected to be well out across the Bay by the end of the week, : Dr. Manion, who left Ottawa early Saturday on the 2,000-mile journey to Churchill, is not ex- pected to remain at the port for more than a day. He is being accompanied on his flying inspec- tion trip by Capt. R. V. Bennett, brother of the Prime Minister; A. W. Merriam, the Premier's sec- retary, and John I. McFarland, manager of the Wheat Pools' Sell- ing Agency. During their inspection tour on Monday Col. Dubuc and Mr. Mac- Lachlan journeyed through the massive elevator, rushed to com- pletion this summer after foun- dation work had been done before the ows of last fall. They viewed, as well, the 1,854-foot dock, finished within the last few days, and were taken over the townsite, now being surveyed: for the construction of a model com- munity next summer, when the town will bg thrown open to the publis by the Provincial Govern- ment, ECHO OF N.Y. SEWER GRAFT CASE HEARD New York, Sept. 16.---The at- tempt of Attorney-General John J. Bennett, Jr., to recover for the city $330,000, allegedly part of the profits of the late John M. Phillips, whose sewer pipe sales to the Queens Borough Govern- ment figured in the conviction and imprisonment of former Borough President Maurice E. Connolly, went forward at a private hearing before Commis- sioner Decoursey Fales, appoint- ed by the Canadian courts, to hear testimony. here. The case is before the Cana- dian Courts because the money was deposited in Canadian Banks by John M. Phillips, Jr., who died jn an airplane crash shortly 'after his father's death. A writer says the modern girl is wrapped up in herself--and that's what her main coverin looks like to us; Re ns welcome | occasionally Court Decides Against Election of Dr. Phelps As S. African Archbishop Geneva, Switzerland--The pres- tige of the world ' court as a strictly juridical body has been seriously hurt by its verdict de- claring the Austro-German cus- toms union project illegal, ac- cording to the feeling of many Americans in corridors of the League of Nations today. American adherence to the world court is likely to be made difficult if enemies of the court in Washington point out the manifestly political character of today's judgment. The majority of the judges, declaring the cus- toms pact incompatible with Austria's commitments under the treaty of St. Germain or the Gen- eva protocol of 1922 or both, seem to admit that they were swayed by political rather than judicial cons!derations. The French, Polish, Rumanian and Italian judges naturally voted against the pact. Al] the judges in a neutral geocraphic position, like President Mineit- ciro Adatchi of Japan, Wang Chung-hui of China and Frank B. Kellogg of the United States, expressed the minority position that the customs pact was legal and stated that they based their judgment on strictly juridical and not political grounds. The Belgian judze, Baron Rol- in-Jaequemyns, voted. with the minority, though he might have been expected to take the French view, Sir Cecil Hurst, the British judge, was also in the minority supporting the pact. The Austrians and Germans here take some comfort in the fact that the decision was so close. Also, hy a tremendous irony, they are. vastly relieved that the judgment' went against them. Germany and Austria have already renounced the pact and if by some chance the verdict had been favorable they would have heen placed in a difficult, in fact, a ridiculaus, position. NEW GRASSES ARE | DEVELOPED IN IMPORTANT WORK Fine New Varieties Grown in England--Canadian Points Out Value London, Sept. 15--The making of two blades of grass to grow where one grew before. This has been accomplished by I'rofessor Stapledon at the Welsh Plant Breeding Station, Aberyst- wrth, who has bred leafy pedigree grasses which often give twico ae big a yield as the plants grown from foreign seed. Also, they are hardier and have a longer grow- ing period. In a year or two these superior grasses are expec- ted to be on the market for the henefit of British farmers. The importance of this achieve- ment is emphasized by Dr. O. Mc- Conkey, who during two years ieave from the Guelph Agricul- tural College, Ontario, has stud. ied the subject of grass cultiva- tion at Cambridge, Aberystwyth, Aberdeen and various grassland ceutres in this country, and in Continental countries. In his monograph on his inves- tigations entitled 'Recent ad- vances in pasture management," Dr, McConkey points out that since grass is the raw material of milk, butter, cheese, meat, mut. ton, wool and hides, pasture is the Empire's most important crop. The products of grass fcrm 94 per cent of the total ex- ports from New Zealand, 60 per cent from Australia and over half from the Irish Free State. About 70 per cent of the total area of the British Isles consists of grassland, and it is estimated tnat the British grass crop-- that is the home production of grassland products--is worth $625,000,000 a year. The total annual consumption of grassland products in the Uni- tad Kingdom reaches the enorm- ous sum of $1,875,000,000, or uearly $50 per capita, while that of wheat is only $500,000,000. "The limiting factor for the production of these products is not the number of cattle and sheep, which can be increasea in- definitely, but the raw material which they transform," states Dr. McConkey, "With a fundamental under- standing of the 'pasture animal complex' it is possible to grade up the pastures of the Empire, as hae been demonstrated in a prac- ticul way in various regions, to an increased carrying capacity from acything between 50 and 10) per cent, a practical possibility of no small economic importance tc the Eritish Commonwealth." Dr. McConkey remarks that one of the first impressions of a Can- ardian visiting England is the ap- parent low consumption of fresh milk, and the difficulty of sscur- ing fresh cool bottled milk in res- taLrants and homes, and he con- siders a practical step in relief of the agricultural depression would be the development of this potential market hy marketing a higher grade, standard fresh, cool, bottled product which ap- peals to the consumer. For the first time in the history of agri cuitural research there had becn a strong co-ordinating influence throughout the Empire. Grass: Jand studies had been the hasis of this co-operative effort. A world search for new grasses is sugges- ted by Dr. McConkey, "Thee ir ne doubt that careful exploration in Scandinavia and Russia would yield strains valuable for Cana- da," he says. 'The best drough- resistant grass in Western Cana da today was brought over from Hungary." LINDBERGHS REACH 'OSAKA FROM TOKIO Osaka, Japan, Sept, 16.---Col- onel and Mrs, Charles A. Lind- bergh slipped into Osaka on Monday between the lashes of a typhoon which Saturday descend- ed upon Formosa and spent it- self in Western Japan, Storm signals were still flying at various places of the island sea over which. the Lindberghs will pass en route to China after | spending several days sightseeing at Nara and Kyoto. The Lindberghs drrived at Kit- sugawa airport after a three-hour flight from Tokio. They were greeted by airport officials as well as officers of the Japan Air Transport Company.

LABORITE IS ASKED TO RESIGN SEAT London, Sept. 16.--+As the re- sult of his action in voting for the National Government in the House of Commons, Holford Knight, K.C., elected as Labor member for Nottingham, has been requested to resign by the South Nottingham Labor Party, which, at a meeting, vesterday, unanimously decided to disassoci- ate iteelf from his policy and procure another candidate, Interviewed later Mr. Knight said: "As I expected, they stand by the party machine.

Church of the Province of South Africa, Dr. Phelps in whieh the Supreme Court here gave judgment againet Dr. Phelps declaring that the Archbishop was incapable of being a trustee of one of the Anglican Churches in South Africa because he was con- gecrated in South Africa and not in England. The action was brought by the "Church of Eng- land in South Africa," a small body of three churches which re- fused to recognize the right of the majority of South African Anglicans to have declared them- selves to be the Church of the Province of South Africa and in- dependent of direct control by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justice Watermeyer, who de- livered the judgment, said that though Dr. Phelps had been pro- | perly elected Archbishop of the | Province of South Africa and Bishop of Cape Town, could not be held to be the legal successor of the corporate "Lord Bishop of Cape Town," - created by Royal Letters Patent in 1833. frustes of one of the churches of the "Church of England in South There- | fore Dr. Phelps could not he the | Africa." The judgment expressly relates only to the facts disclosed in the present case, which {is in tke form of an interlocutory ap- piication against Dr. Phelps. Dr, Phelps has given notice of appeal. The two previous Arch- bizhops of the Province of South Africa had both been consecrated Bishops in England before their election to the Archbishopric. The question of the good deal of church property is #.e0 indirectly involved in the care just decided by the Supremo Court. Complete recognition of the local Church of the Province of South Africa has always been accorded by the Church of Eng.
