Giving Way to aS TA a AE TE a THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1931 Hollywood, Cal., May 28—(7)— The blood and thunder of gang warfare on the screen is giving ‘way to the moonlight and roses of romance and to the thrills and chills of mystery. ‘The drama of cities terrified by machine gun rule is passing out —another cycle of film plots gone on its way to oblivion, temporar- ily at least. In no major studios are gang- ster themes of the extreme type such as “Little Caesar,” “The Doorway to Hell” and “The Pub- lic Enemy,” on the production schedules, Producers seem to believe the Public has had its fill of films portraying, with ultra-vivid scenes, the “inner workings” of gangland, and that the few now on exhibition should satisfy com- pletely any demand that is left. “The Public Enemy” is breaking records in New York, and “Quick Millions,” a satirical treatment of the rise and fall of a gang er, is doing well wherever the censors have left it undeleted. The loss of interest in gang plots is not due to any official ban by the producers’ associa- tion, for that organization has re- mained silent on the subject. But ‘Will Hays, its leader, recently ex- pressed the opinion that chang- ing public tastes, a desire for More: romance on the screen, would bring about the decline of the mob rule theme. This is . What has happened. | Although all pictures of the type have emphasized that the criminal always “gets his” in the end, that crime does not pay, and although crime has not been in- tentionally glorified in them, there has been agitation against gangster pictures on the ground that they exerted a harmful in- fluence on youthful screen fans who forget the gangster's cer- tain end and glory in his gun Play. WATERWAY GROUP MEETS IN CANADA Delegates From Canada and United States Consider St. Lawrence Project Port Arthur, Ont., May 28—(P)— Delegates from the United States and Canada gathered here Thursday to formulate plans for the furtherance of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence deep waterway project at the on-to-the-sea convention. Among those from the United States invited to attend the three-day session were Gov. Floyd Olson of Minnesota, and Mayor O. 8. F. Snive- ly, Duluth, Minn. Canadian dele- gates included O. E. Fleming, of Windsor, Ont., president of the Ca- nadian Deep Waterways association, and q. A. Maguire, of Toronto, presi- dent of the Great Lakes and Harbors association. Mayor P. V. Ibbetson of Port Ar- thur and Mayor E. G. Murphy ef Port William are sharing the position of host to the delegates. ‘The first formal session of the con- vention will be held tonight with ad- dresses by delegates farfiliar with the present stage of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence development. ‘The primary object of the conven- tion is adoption of a to aid in the mobilization of public opinion behind the deep waterway project. Another national 4-H club radio broadcast, featuring talks by club members, leaders and music by the U. S. Marine band, has been ar- ranged for June 6. North Dakota listeners will receive the program at 11:30 a. m. to 12:30 p. m. from their regular “Farm and Home Hour” stations. . BY MARKETING OIL Lay Plans to Sell Creosote in Northwest Territory; Has Commercial Uses Dickinson, May 26.—Creosote oil, a by-product extracted from lignite coal during the briquetting process at the Lehigh Briquetting company’s Plant, Dickinson, and heretofore be- lieved to have been useless, has been placed on the market and found tobe of exceptionally high quality and much in demand, officials of the com- Pany announce. Cheaper than similar oils, the new product is declared by consumers to be second to none and it has already brought considerable money into the coffers of the company since it was found to be of use. Retail prices on creosote oil range from $1 @ gallon up and the Lehigh company’s price is 25c a gallon, f. 0. b. At this price, the total production would bring a net profit of $100,000 @ year to tne company, it is said. Creosote ofl is used extensively in the northwest farming states and the local plant is believed to be situated favorably for developing the industry to a point where it will supply a ter- ritory covering 10 states. The daily production would average approxi- mately 1,500 gallons. For every ton of briquets produced, seven gallons of the oll can be extracted from every ton of briquets manufactured. During tine last six weeks an agent for the company, wor! in the state, has sold more than worth of the oil. There are about 5,000 gal- lons of it in storage at the plant. Last winter 25,000 gallons of this oil were shipped to the tie treating plant of ihe Northern Pacific rail- road at Brainerd, Minn., and found to be satisfactory. The oil was found to contain 50 per cent to 150 per cent more tar acids than oils from other Terms will be arranged to suit the purchaser The inside of your FRIGIDAIRE, seamless, * 318 Main Ave. without a corner, crack or crevicel Seamless, stainless, cornerless interiors of glistening Porcelain-on-steel are one of the many outstanding advantages of Frigidaire Ad- vanced Refrigeration.

North Dakota ENGLISH PICTUR ‘All-Talking Motion Picture of National Significance’ Is Planned London, May 28.—(?)}—Charlie Chaplin is reported to be considering an offer by the British government to direct “an all-talking motion pic- ture of national significance.” ‘The London Daily Sketch said ‘Thursday that negotiations had been in progress between the screen com- edian and the foreign office for three months. He has suggested the pic- ture be called “London” and deal with the romance of the British capital, and plans are now being carried for- ward to that end. Chaplin originally was requested to stage an epic of the Pilgrim Fathers leaving England, entitled “after the Mayfiower,” which it was thought would have great appeal both here and in America. He vetoed this idea with the statement that he doubted whether he could do justice to the subject. The sketch said it assumed that “a signal mark of honor” would be conferred on Chaplin at the comple- tion of his work. FOR RENT Nicely furnished apartment, in mod- ern and fireproof building.

QUEEN RECONCILED T0 HER SEPARATION PROM SON, FAMILY untary Exile When New Par- liament Convenes London, May 28.—(?)—Queen Helen of Rumania, is represented as being reconciled to the bitter fact that she soon must leave her adopted country and her nine-year-old son, Crown ; Prince Michael. i She is quoted by an Englishwoman more deeply on the face of a child. I don’t know where or how I shall be seeing him. That is my most pro- found sorrow.” King Carol, then Crown Prince, de- serted Helen in 1922 for other loves, among whom was the red-headed Mme, Magda Lupescu. After his renunciation of his royal rights, she divorced him and led a life of seclu- sion. He returned to claim the throne in June, 1930, but Helen re- fused to be reconciled.
