PAGE TWO THRILLS OF MELODR. FRILLS OF COMEDY'ON BROADWAY By JOHN O'DONNELL New York, April 27.—An audience which would rather shudder than shimmy and which prefers the thrills of melodrama to the frills of comedy has come to the front with a ven- geance in the current Broadway sea- son. At a time when a lean season is petering out into a growing list* of dark theaters, slashed salaries, a steadily increasing volume of tickets on the cut price mart, and with only a limited number of unquestionable hits holding their own—at this time the drama of shriek and horror, shud- der and fiendishness, continues. +o pack the theaters. The Crime Wave The obvious explanation is the New - York crime wave; the Broadway the- atergoer is fond of the crook melo- drama because he likes to see the familiar. incidents of daily life por- trayed on the stage. “The Bat,” “The Cat and the Can- ary” and “Bull Dog Drummond” are the leaders in the current melodrama. The first of these is now the oldest Broadway attraction, and at the com- pletion of 18 months is easily capable of finishing out two years. “The Cat and Canary,” a shivery affair of spooky mystery, and “Bull Dog Drummond,” an_ out-and-out melodrama of the old school imported from England, have settled down for long runs, “The Hindu” has succeed- ed “The Green Goddess” in meeting the demand for oriental fiendishness, and “Whispering Wires” is a melo- drama based on radio. Desire to Hiss It is in,“Bull Dog Drummond” that the frankest appeal has been made to the old-fashioned desire to hiss the beetle-browed and unrelenting villain and to cheer to victory the cool, chaste and athletic hero. Warmed over and served in new dishes, this is the dramatic pap that the last generation applauded during one night stands in tank-town opera houses. But in Times Square they hiss the villain and piercing feminine shrieks echo across Broadway as walls open and a clutching hand advances to- ward a sleeping heroine. Perlinps theatrical managers are taking lessons from movie kings. “Why Girls Leave Home” and “Ten Nights in a Bar Room” are now suc- cessful movies; “Nellie the Beautiful Cloak Model” and “Bertha the Sewing Machine Girl” are soon to be re- leased. Sophistication! MARTIN FAILED TO QUALIFY FOR LAND OFFICE JOB Minot, N. D., April 27—Martin Ja-| cobson of Minot, recently appointed by President Harding to be register of the Minot land office, failed to - qualify for office yesterday at 4:30 p. m. when his appointment was to b2- come effective, A. J, Schroer and William O'Leary, who have been receiver and register respectively of the office, withdrew from their duties yesterday at 4:50 p. m. Mr. Schroer and Mr. O'Leary were appointed during the Wilson. ad- ministration. The office is temporarily im charge of Miss Gladys Tate, but no business is being transacted, Miss Tate receipt- ing for the different records ete, when Mr. O'Leary and Mr. Schroor checked out. Just what future action will be ‘taken regarding the handling of the office is not known at this time. It is presumed that Mr. Jacobson did not accept the appointment because of the fact that a recent order was issued consolidating the Dickinson, Williston and Minot offices with the Bismarck office. This order is to become effect- ive June 30, it is said, when the rec- orda of the Minot office and the other offices will be moved to Bismarck. If Mr. Jacobson would have accepted the appointment he wou!d be in office only about two months, before the office would be moved to Bismarck.

It is encouras- ing then to note what ithe Shinola 1c jhas to say regarding its business dur- jing the year just past and the pros- [pects for 1922. In a letter to the job- |bing trade this company says: ‘ompany, manufacturers of Shinola, “The sales of Shinola during the year 1921 were nearly fifteen per io 3 8 3 = S E s 3 < zc 3 e = =) a “ € £ = THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE ary, 1922 was the largest January we have ever had, and more than double the business of 1921. We believe that the very marked increase in our business. during 1921, when most package godds were hav- ing hard sledding, was due to the fact that the retail price of Shimola was kept at 10 cents all during war time, and today when economy is the} - watchword, the 10 cent price still. ap- peals strongly to the buying public. We are very optimistic about. 1922 business and very grateful to the trade in general for the cooperation extended.” As indicated by the letter above, the Shinola Company reaped the re- ward for its liberal policy and is now looking forward to the best year in its history in consequence. Of course, dealers and consume-: alike know that Shinola is a first class article—a shoe polish that gives genu ine satisfaction. As a 10 cent seller SS ————— it has taken a prominent place in the list of grocery items, A big advertising’ campaign has ‘been carefully planned and the an- nouncements are now running for this year, In these advertisements the 10 cent price and the Shinola Home Set are heavily featured.

The salary of the office during the last few years has been very meager, it is said, as the register and receiver work on a commission. A recent order consolidated ‘the of- fices of receiver and register. |_AT THE THEATERS | “Peaceck Alley” Is Gorgeous Production It ig not often that motion picture : fans are given the opportunity to see the latest and most stylish costumes Presented by one of the most attrac- tive artists of the screen in a story vibrant with romance and adventure, but. that is what Mae Murray's latest picture, “Peacock Alley,” is, It. will! be shown soon at the Capitol theater, In this Metro release for Tiffany ‘Productions, Inc., presented by Rob- ert Z. Leonard, Miss Murray portrays the part of a Parisian dancer, wito, as the darling’ of the famous city of pleasure, is feted and adored for her daring and artistic creations. She falls in love with a youthful American, a small town boy, and goes back to his home only to find that the people of the Jittle village are scandglized at his French wife.

Is the real romance of love and life found in the moonlit garden, the scent of a delicate flower, the dulcet strains of sweet music?
