AT THE MOVIES ‘ | AT THE MOVIES — CAPITOL THEATRE “High Stakes,” the Willard Mack stage success which captivated Broad- ‘way audiences some seasons back, has been translated into a screen melo- drama by RKO-Radio Pictures, and is on the Capitol theatre screen tomor- Tow. Lowell Sherman, actor-director, takes the dual role again in this pro- duction, as he did in “The Royal Bed” and “Bachelor Apartment.” “High Stakes” is the type of story admirably suited, it is said, to Sherman’s suave yet vigorous portrayals. In it he is said to give one of the best perform- ances of his colorful and distinguish- ed career,'as'the wastrel brother of a millionaire whom he saves from mari- tal unhappiness and the scheming de- signs of a racketeering wife. Mae Murray, who has been seen before with Lowell Sherman only re- cently in “Bachelor Apartment,” plays the part of the baby-faced cheat, un- masked by Sherman. Others in the cast are the attractive new star, Kar- en Morley; Edward Martindel, Ley- land Hodgson, and Ethel Levy. PARAMOUNT THEATRE The romantic team of Joan Craw- ford and Clark Gable in a dramatic story of a factory girl who becomes the toast of Park Aree makes an engrossing talkie of “Possessed,” which will come to the Paramount Theatre for two days. Miss Crawford's role as the girl who turns down the man she loves, in order to leave him free to become the governor of his state, gives her every opportunity for a display of her t plain factory worker to a member of the leisure class entails sixteen costume changes. The. story also entails a number of spectacular scenic back- grounds. Gable ig seen as the candidate for governor. Wallace Ford, popular New York stage leading man, makes his screen’ debut in this picture as jable’s rival for the affections of the eroine. The supporting cast also in- cludes the amusing Skeets Gallagher, Frank Conroy, Marjorie White, John Miljan and Clara Blandick. - ee Farmer Damage Suit To Last Another Day Belief that the $12,000 damage ac- tion of 10 Burleigh county farmers against the Soo Line Railway will not go to the jury before late Wednesday was Cngear Gag ae by attorneys for both les case.

Thomas Shinners, shown above, has lain in a hospital bed for 20 years, able to use only his right hand and to move his head. Yet he is regarded by thousands as an outstanding example of faith, hope and courage, Each year he writes some 3,000 letters to other unfortunates bidding ‘them take heart and fight on. The pic- ture shows how he does it. As manager of the “Sunshine De- partment” of the hospital in which he is a patient, Shinners has form- ulated a creed. Here it is: “I do hereby promise never to pass by any case of distress without lend- ing a helping hand. I will always try to be cheerful as an example to| my fellow men. And as I pass along life's pathway I will try to leave hap- piness in my wake, so this world will be ied beiter place for my having lived in it” Charity Affairs on McClusky’s Program . McClusky, N.

Minnesota Schools Plan New Alignment Minneapolis, Dec. 15.—(?)—Break- up of the little-ten junior-teacher college athletic conference was fore- cast Tuesday with formation of a new conference of six teachers colleges Monday night. The new circuit, limited to teacher's colleges at preseht but perhaps open to other schools before the next foot- ball season, includes schools at Sf. Cloud, Moorhead; Beraidjl, Duluth, Winona, and Mankato. The conference was formed because the teachers colleges wished to use four-year men, a practice not accept- able to the junior college members of the little-ten conference, and may cause formation of a new circuit to include those schools. It is understood that the junior col- leges will not play teacher college teams if four-year men are used, and a number of football games lined up for next fall will be canceled. The new league will not go into operation until that time. NOTICE_OF EXPIRATION OF REDEMPTION STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA, County of Burleigh, ss. OFFICE OF COUNTY AUDITOR, Bismarck, N. Dak. To Rose L.

Leonard P. Ayres, | vice president of the Cleveland Trust |company, and nationally recognized business analyst, the two main forces .| Which caused the country’s depres- sion, have reached the end of their ropes. Making his annual address Tues- day before the Cleveland chamber of commerce, Col. Ayres said these two great forces were the collapse of wholesale priges and the contraction of credit under pressure of the banks, After two years of economic strain, Col. Ayres found the American dol- Jar, the federal reserve and the American banking system “have weathered the storm triumphantly.” He added that “it is not to be ex- | pected that credit expansion will de- |velop promptly, merely because the climax of fears has passed.” The chief business policy recom- jpuended. by Col. Ayres for 1932 cailed for balanced budgets. ’ Thief Goes in for | Really Big Business ° = Washington, Dec. 15—(4)—Lost, by the District of Columbia gov- ernment, six two-story brick houses, and fixtures of eight others. * The houses occupied a site to be cleared for a playground.

Chairman Collier invited Ogden Mills, the treasury’s undersecretary, before the ways and means committee to give a statement of how President: Hoover first proposed the payments be postponed for a year now half gone. and why. Behind him pressed a host of witnesses. The hearings were intended, how- ever, to be short. Collier wanted to lay the moratorium plan with a re- port before the house Thursday. He | predicted approval within a week, de- ‘spite some stiff opposition in house ;and senate. Monday's debate elicited the bitter- est expressions so far against debt jPostponement, and also its most vig- ouous defense. Representative Sum- ners of Texas, Democratic chairman of the judiciary committee, charged the president transgressed his author- ity in putting the moratorium in ef- fect. Rankin: of ‘ Mississippi termed the plan a bold scheme of financial buccaneering. Defending, two Republicans, Beck of Pennsylvania, and Luce of Massa- chusetts, pleaded for non-partisan support, argued the critical emerg- ency of international finance and its “The-Truth About Rheumatism The truth is that within 24 hours after you start taking the efficient prescription ¢alled Allenru uric acid poison starts to leave your body.
