“The Sea God"
Here Next Week
Drama to the depths—action and
adventure to the crested tips of the
topmost palm, is offered Wednes
day and Thursday at the Peoples
Theatre in “The Sea God,” Para
mount talking romance dealing with
the experiences which befall a bronzed
young se adog. a primitive tempered
maid of the South Stas, and a brutal
trader ,on about, over and in the
waters surrounding a cannibal isle.
Richard Arlen and Fay Wray, the
“Border Legion” lovers, are the prin
cipal wayfarers. Eugene Pallette, a
sergeant of sleuths and cowhand of
parts goes “salt” as Arlen’s first mate
firstcass, Robert Glecker is the “men
ace”; and other subordinate portray
als are given by Ivan Simpson, Bob
Perry, Maurice Black and Fred Wal
lace.
Novelty of viewpoint, or should we
gay “ear-point” is a bizarre touch of
•his pi- dilution directed by th* a .-ld
ious arid alert ' tv brge Abbot, wh
“Manslaughter’ attained wides;n\ h
favor, whi|p sgrv.ng Claudette C-U;
belt with new steps to fame’s very
pinnacle. Far from prosaic is Ab
bot’s melv.od of showing the savages
attacking ship. The audience is tak
I en below the surface of a sunlit crys
tal sea, and shown the action as Ar
I leen sees it .looking up from the ocean
foor. The m> .-tenons hum of sub
seas, the gurgles of air lines anti im
plements, the pebbly wash of diving
j armor propelled about, is captured
by a new camera-microphone devel
oped by Paramount, said to be capable
of operation at great depths without
the protection of a diving bell.
Events bizarre as an untapped
world are unfolded as the youthful
adventurer outwits pagan tribes, beats
back a rival, captures the heart of a
girl and sails away with love and
fortune, all the spoils of a victories >
spirit.

jLcn Chaney la First
and Last Talking Film
-—§4 .»
Ffaving waited until a period of
extensive experimenting had proved
that he could do as strange anti un
usual things with the microphone as
he had done in the past with the j
make-up box, Lon Chaney will make
His all-talking picture debut Mondax
and Tuesday at the Peoples theatre in
“The Unholy Three,” talking version
<n his silent success of some years
ago. directed by Jack Conway and
x\;th a supporting cast which in
cludes Lila Lee, Elliott Nugent. Har
ry Earles, John Miljan, Ivan Linow,
Clarence Burton and Crauford Kent.
Whereas in the past, people have
been hard put to tell which of the
many ‘“faces” Chaney used on the
screen came nearest to his actual
physiognomy, they will now be equal
ly baffled in determing which of the
five voices he uses in ’‘The Unholy
Three,” aprroaches his normal voice.
In presenting this unusual aspect
of voice manipulation, however, the
star by no means deserts his flair for
disguises, appearing in “The Unholy
Three’ first as a ventriloquist and
subsequently as an old woman. As
a final indication of the comprehen
sive manner in which Chaney is en
tering upon his talkie career comes
the report that he will also sing, the
feat occurring in the ventriloquist
sequences in which he makes the dum
my warble “Sweet Rosie O'Grady.”
The story of “Thj Unholy Three”
concerns the nefarious activities of
eftrea circus s?do sknv performers,
ventriloquist, giant and midget who
finding th:.t pickpocketing does not
bring them sufficient gain, hit upor
an ingenious method of robbing home'
"'hich involves the vcntriloquht’s im
personating himself the
o'Y/ii?!' of a pet shop.
According to Sol Clark, studio pur
chasing agent, advance worries anent
getting a sufficient variety of animals
for the pet-shop scenes proved friut
less, a search of bird and pet stores
in Southern California disclosing that
this state contains the most diversi
fied stock of animals in the country.
“Possibly its because of the hun
dreds of easterners living here almost
all of whom want unique pets,” ex
plained Clark, “but the fact remains
that one can find birds and animals
here which have never been heard of
before. For instance we found a
‘Goodi Fat’ which is a spotted rat
the size of a dog which comes from
Africa; monkeys ranging from a huge
orang-outang to the tinijst South
American tree monkeys; parrots no
bigger than sparrows; parakeets;
cockatoos; a tame pig. a trained
lamb hundreds of varieties of cats and
a leopard cub—all in the rgeular stock
of a single pet shop.”

All these tacts were bruoght out by
the testimony < f the plaintiffs in the
ase. The defendants tried to prove
that the proper signals were given
and their expert witnesses engineers
and superintendents, testified that the
train was stopped as soon as possible.
The plaintiffs argued that the train
could have stopped in less than the
fifteen seconds the truck was on tne
tracks as it could be seen for more
than a half mile. They produced an
expert witness of their own, a Virgin
ian Railroad engineer .who testified
he had stopped his train twice under

er time without injury to passengers
or equipment.
The attorneys for the railroad com
rany noted an appeal to the Supreme
Court. Their final action is not known
at this time. Only twice in previous
court history have larger verdicts
been rendered in a damage suit. The
largest was for $45,000, and the oth
ler for $35,000.

Farm Problem Solved
(Continued from page one)
nut*. And that boy knows more
about peanuts than old Thom or old
man Planter or whoever started this
peanut racket. He not only can tell
you about them; he grows them in big
[Quantities, acres of them, and he has
the best peanuts in the county. And
he can tell you to the fraction of a
cent what it cost him and how much
net profit he made.
We just take him as an example.
Jesse Lyles is another chap who will
solve this farm pr&blem better than
Mr. Legge. He makes a specialty of
lung staple cotton. I don’t mean he
reads a lot about it and talks about
what he reads. He plants it, after se
lecting his seed most carefully, and
he knows exactly how to fertilize it,
and whats more he knows how to get
the best price for it after it is gin
ned. Perkins Crawley and Henry
Cook are growing their special crops
and they will tell you that the only
way the farmer can get a proper price
for it is to cooperate.

Say, when you mention the word,
cooperate, $o tliosc Aurelian Spring*
boys, it’s like fitting a match to a'
string of firocrwikers. It is not just
a word to them. It is the future of
farming.
They admit the farmer is a hard
man to get to cooperate to the limit.
They admit he is an individualist by
nature, breeding, environment and ne
cessity. But they are sold on the idee,
of 100 per cent and they are being
trained to submerge their personality
when it comes to group buying and
selling. That’s why we predict the suc
cess of the farmer with the coming
generation
They tell us that by cooperating in
both buying and selling, the farmer
will sav emoney. One organization,
they say, can buy in wholesale quan
tities and sell, likewise, much cheao
er than the individual farmer. They
tell us the cooperative plan means
the farm organization can have bet
ter control of the markets and the
selling prices. They say that the fu
ture farmer will not glut bis fields
with a product which faces a surplus.
Then these young fanners tell us
they have learned beyond the shadow
of a doubt that “money” crops arc
just a part of a vast scheme of unlim
ited opportunities. One of the Lyle
boys tells us his father now has 150
improved chickens—since the begin
ning of the Vocational Agricultural
Class—and those hens are showing n
profit of $2.68 net per year—more
than he will make this year on 75
acres of cotton.
Those Aurelian Springs boys have
gone over in Virginia and brought
back a truck load of pure bred hog.<.
The community didn’t know what a
pure bred hog was before. And now
they are asking for pure bred dairy
cows.
And best of all, the boys say their
fathers like it and are backing them
in it; that their fathers realize the
boys are having opportunity to learn
which they did not have; of course,
there are arguments—but they are
sensible, business like arguments, and
we have a sneaking idea the boy usu
ally wins out; we believe those fath
ers realize, like we do now, that the
future holds much brighter propects
for their boys—and after all, that is
about .the.best an old generation can
leave tJ#- those who must afoilo^aftejf.

the class at Aurelian Springs has ac
complished since its origin in 1928.
The names of the boys and their pro
jects and*some concrete examples of
what we consider one of the most
worthwhile experiments in our coun
ty’s history.
