yesterday, with Shuffletown
Farm’s Frances, a white -and or
ange pointer bitch owned and
handled by R. Z. Cates of Spar

on her birds. When she was over
ridden by the gallery and a scout
she stood on her game for better
than ten minutes until finally

DlNEHURST SCOREBOARD

SCOREBOARD CATCHES A CINEMA
Paul Muni gave a great performance last night in the Carolina
theater in “We Are Not Alone,” as to how a gentleman acts in
prison while waiting to be hanged by the neck until dead x x x The
picture afforded Muni an opportunity to recite a short but excellent
anti-war sermon x x x This was the highlight of the show x x x
Jane Bryan, the girl of the cinema, played practically her entire
part by facial expression x & x The plot was sort of stupid but the
acting saved it x x x x Too many cinemas make the wife out as a
terrible sort of person and the blonde as divine x x x this sort of a
story attracts more sightseeing interest x x x x x the little lad in
the picture was good but when he knocked off the surgery shelf the
only two bottles needed to make the plot and broke the one which
had to be broken, so he could put the poison pills back in the other
one, the coincident was too thick to make well constructed drama
x x x as a matter of fact the picture was melodrama.
P. S. It is the opinion of -this critic that the Doctor knew he
was in love with Miss Bryan long before he discovered it in the
Courtroom.

OUTRAGE, SAYS BISHOP
A statewide campaign to stop
the killing of state raised wild
turkeys released recently on pri
vate hunting reserves was cen
tered in Moore County today as
a result of the infantry assault
on a flock of these birds which
talked over the deep river bridge
into the main street 'of Glendol
darly this week and were met
it the gates of the village by a
Withering blast of fire resulting
in six casualties. The dead birds
weye identified by state bands at
tached to their legs,
J. D. Chalk, Raleigh, state
game commissioner, dispatched
Special Warden A. Davis, Park
ton, and Fred D. Williams, Fay
etteville, to Moore County upon
being advised by sportsmen aJ>out
the Glendon battle. Court offi
cials in Carthage said that the
state officials_ were collecting evi
dence, and hoped to make ar
rests within 24 hours.
Thirty-two turkeys of the 3,
003 raised at state reservations
in Hoffman and Fayetteville
were released on the property of
the Horse Shoe Quail farm op
erated by Julian Bishop and
Charlie Summerson, with the us
ual gentlemen’s agreement that
these birds would not be hunted
until one year after their re
lease. Hundreds of birds have
been released throughout the
state upon the same terms, and
Commissioner Chalk hopes to
make an example of hunters who
participated in the Glendon mas
sacre.
