This new picture, a sound synchronized film, with singing sequences, which introduce Novarro as a singer on the vocal screen, was filmed in its entirely in the islands. It is a vivid drama of a young islander's struggle against the encroachments of civilization. Sct amid the gorgeous scenery of the South Seas, it weaves a haunting- ly delicate love romance between the island boy and girl. This romance is interspersed with thrills and sensa- tropic land where the picture was made. For instance, there is Novar- to's fight with the shark, filmed un- | ier water, a most breath-taking piece of business and his strange adven- tures in the trackless jungle. Other thrills, a countless number, created in a spirit of glamour and adventure, hold one spellbound. Added novelty on the Eltinge pro- gram for Monday and Tuesday will be found in th two reel Mack Sen- nett sound comedy “The Lion's Roar.” CAPITOL THEATRE Thrill-seeking theatregoers will be amply satisfied at the Capitol Thea- tre next Monday when the Fox Film, “New Year's Eve,” begins a two days engagement.

Many of the scenes were made just as they appear on the screen, with the actors, especially the leading man, Charles Morton, in considerable real danger from flying bullets. In one episode Morton dodged a steel- jacketed missile by a scant three inches, the bullet shattering the win- dow where his head had been a frac- tion of a second before. Mary Astor is co-featured with Morton in the picture, Earle Foxe and Florence Lake heading the supporting cast. In addition to the dramatics, there is said to be an abundance of comedy and romance in the film. (By The Associated Press) SATURDAY Senate continues census-reap- portionment debate.

It jhas for several years advocated such a structure, as it muddled through with the corn and other shows and handled convention projects, ham- pered by the present lack of facil- ities to stage these properly. The association is on the firing line again in the present campaign in behi of the city-county mem- orial building. It is one of the main items on its program for 1929. What Activities Would Serve Not content to be for the building, the association has gone on recot formally for the proposed structure, analyzing the situation which calls in its opinion for the crection of the building as a civic necessity and asset. Letters are now going out to the membership, advocating support of the project. These letters set forth the association attitude as follows: To the members of the Bismarck Association of Commerce: On May 31 the people of Bis- marck will vote on the proposition of whether or not city bonds to the amount of $125,000 shall be issued, the proceeds to be united with the American Legion memorial fund of $84,000 pledged by the board of county commissioners, to be used 4 selon lps and the crt of Bt le memorial to those people who gave thei or rende: service in the World war, It is agreed that this memorial shall be in the nature of a community building, amply large and suitbly constructed to accommodate pub- lic gatherings of every nature: con- ventions, state corn and grain shows, poultry show, automobile show, state basketball tournament and any and all such large gatherings as a grow- ing, prosperous city might be called are to entertain; to provide suit- able club rooms for the American Legion and allied organizations, the National Guard company, women’s clubs of the city and county, Red Cross, Anti-Tuberculosis associ and other similar organization: is to include rest rooms for fat and their families, as well as for all visitors to the city. If possible, a gymnsium and swimming pool should be added features. City Hampered Now Bismarck is now hampered by the lack of such a building. We are not able to secure such large state con- ventions as the implement and hard- ware dealers. The State Corn show, supported by legislative appropria- tion, has outgrown any quarters we are now able to provide, and must soon be abandoned, unless we can furnish greatly increased housing space. By reason of lack of a suitable place in which to hold it, our auto- mobile dealers are not able to con- duct an annual automobile show. The poultry show, a most important and valuable enterprise, cannot be suitably accommodated in any pres- ent available quarters. Space does not permit mention many’ other imilar handicaps. Unless a build- ing of the ire proposed is secured soen, Bismarck is bound to suffer loss of large volumes of business and much of the prestige she now enjoys as the trading and entertain- ment center of this portion of North Dakota. The slight increase in taxes inci: dent to the construction of such building would be repaid many times each year by the enlarged volume of business our merchants and busi- men would enjoy through the s offered in a building Benefit Would Spread The board of directors of the As- sociation of Commerce has given the proposal serious and careful consid- eration for the three years, and its members are convinced that they are justified in urging every citizen of the city to give his or her en- thusiastic support to the movement. Two proposals are to be voted on. They are: Shall the bond limit of indebtedness of the city be increased, and shall $125,000 in 20-year bonds issued.

Peebles ponders the engrossing coincidences, Nathan Hyde's secrecy as he sold the Peterson revolver to Peebles, Ox- den’'s murder, his two queer vis- itors, the “woman in black” and Furie, Jerry's flight and now Og- den’s excited words “gold bullets.” CHAPTER 5 WHERE IS JERRY? Deacon greeted me briefly and went slowly towards the figure at the desk. He stood looking down at it, his square face white and his sea- blue eyes humid with emotion. The dagger was carefully removed, and Dr. Oakley began his examina- tion. Deacon turned to me. “Well, John, what about it?” I had been dreading the question. I detailed my purchase of the re- volver and Hyde's secrecy about it, the telephone call, how I had found Andrew, Mrs. Moffit's message and what Hubbard had told me. Henry listened with cyes like points of ice. “Did you see any one as you came over, John?” Henry could not possibly know that I had seen Jerry or any one clse, yct T felt as if he were looking into my mind. My voice was steady as I re- plied: “I saw no one.” Stimson, the gardener, stood at the door with Hubbard. Stimson’s cyes were riveted upon me, and there was in them something I didn’t like. Stimson has been with Ogdens’ less than a year, and I haven't seen much of him. For some obscure reason he irritates me. I was suddenly vaguely conscious of disaster. It came upon me overwhelmingly that I should pre- vent Stimson from speaking; and I blurted out: “Hubbard had better tell you his story, Henry.” Hubbard proceeded to enlarge upon what I had already told Deacon. Deacon turned to me. “Hubbard tells us Ogden shouted the two words ‘gold bullets. The bullets in this Peterson revolver you bought are gold. Do you suspect a connection?” “I don’t know any more than you do, Henry.” Dr. Oakley spoke just then. “He's been dead an hour or so, Deacon.” Deacon looked at his watch. “Ten-twenty-five,” he muttered. “What time did you find him, “Nine-thirty-three.” The dull thud, thud, of the front door knocker reverberated through the hall. Coming like that, it startled all of us. Hubbard hurried into the hall. The front door opened. Hubbard's voice, differential and explanatory, came tous. Another's broke in upon it, hard and rasping in tone and fa- miliar to me. My eyes sprang to Dea- con’s in astonishment. I saw him stiffen; a look of irritation crossed his honest face. I love a contest, and in spite of my astonishment and heaviness of heart I half smiled. But what had brought Luther MacNair here? “Good evening, gentlemen.” MacNair had preceded Hubbard in- to the room, and he stood looking at us with that cold, disconcerting stare which was to become so familiar to me in the next few days. A year or two my junior, he had retired from professional life six months@go and taken up residence in San Felipe. He brought with him a handsome repu- tation as a man-tracker.

I found this card under my door.” drew Ogden’s personal cards. On the back of the card Andrew had written: Mr. MacNair: You were out when I called. There is a matter I wish to discuss with you. Will you drop in as soon as you re- turn. This is important. A. O. “Have you any idea what Ogden wanted?” Deacon asked. “Specifically, no.” “You mean he may have wanted to see you in a professional way?” “Yes, But I retired six months ago.” Henry looked at the body. “I am scsry you weren't home,” he grieved. “Andrew might have been with us now, * “You'll get your man easily enough.” “Ah! the solution is already appar- ent to you,” Henry flashed at him. “Dear, dear! I was trying my hand at a compliment.” “You were never known for your compliments, MacNatr. “I suppose not. It's a grim busi- ness, this man-catching. But I'm through with it. A man with 23 hangings and 14 electrocutions to his credit has no business being interested in anybody's murder but his own. You'll find me at 2341 Magnolia if, you want me. Good night, Deacon. Regards to Polyandria, Peebles.” Deacon went to the glass-topped cabinet behind the desk and lifted the lid. “That dagger is kept here, isn’t it, Hubbard?” “As a rule, sir.” nee belongs to Mr. Jerry, doesn’t o “Yes, sir.” “Where is Mr. Jerry, Hubbard?” “I—I believe he is out, sir.” “Where has he gone?” “I don’t know, sir. As I told you, I heard Mr. Jerry and Mr. Ogden talking in the library a few minutes after nine. That is all I know, s! Again there was silence. I aged to get myself in hand. Deacon was thinking. Presently he said: “I suppose it was you who left Mr. Ogden’s card at Mr. MacNair's?” “No, sir. I left it there.” Stimson, the gardener, had an- swered the last question, his eyes challenging mine. “You are the gardener, aren't you?” Deacon asked. “Uh-huh.” “What time did Mr. Ogden give you this card?” “Around six, I guess. That Furle feller had just gone down the drive. Mr. Ogden called me, gave me the card and told me where to leave it. There was nobody home, so I shoved it under the door.” Deacon nodded. “Your rooms are over the garage, aren't they?” “Uh-huh.” “Is Mr. Jerry’s car in the garage?” “No, it ain’t. But it was there round nine o’clock—just before I dropped in on the Hubbards!” “Did you see or hear the car go?” “Nope.” Stimson leered at me then he leaned confidently towards Dea- an “Td like a word with you alone, the Dakota (Copyright, 1929, William Morrow Co.)

Shafer and Miss Bertha Palmer, state superin- tendent. of public instruction, are get- ting ready to select the “brightest boy” in North Dakota. Before the final selection is made, no matter what the process used in arriving at a determination, the gov- ernor and Miss Palmer are- going to put their tongues in their cheeks and cross their fingers. They are not sure that the “brighest boy” will be the brightest boy after all, even ao he will ‘have their endorse- ent. The problem—and both Governor Shafer and Miss Palmer regard it as @ real one—resulted from the fact that Thomas A, Edison wants the brightest boy in each state of the union to visit him at his laboratories. In the group Edison hopes to find one who can be trained to carry on his work. Theoretically, the selection will be made by the governor, but Governor Shafer didn't like to attack the job alone. He distrusts his ability to se- ae the “brightest boy” in North Da- In fact, he isn’t sure that Mr. Edi- son's scheme will have the results that the inventor seems to hope for. “I wonder,” the governor mused, ‘what chance Mr. Edison would have 9:30 a. m. and 12 noon.
