8 “THE FIRST LEGION ) PRAISED AT FARGO Playgoers League Drama to Be Shown Here Friday Night Wins Approval of Critics That splendid work was done by every member of the cast of “The First Legion” and that the play was much the best offering of the Playgoers ‘League, especially in the quality of acting, was the comment of Fargo critics on the play which will be of- fered to Bismarck theatregoers at 8:30 p m.,, Friday in the city auditorium. “The play itself,” the commentator said, “is a moving drama of the power ot faith to make all things well.” The company bringing the play to North Dakota was characterized as “excel- lent.” Fargo Jinx Holds Difficulties have been encountered by the three companies bringing ‘League productions to Fargo this sea- son, Wednesday's production being handicapped by lack of sceneries and costumes, which were snowbound be- tween Wolverton and Fargo. Make- shifts in equipment were assembled and the show went on. Local audiences have been more fortunate and have seen each performance at the time scheduled. “The First Legion” is the third and last stage show with professional casts being brought to the Capital City un- Ger auspices of the local Playgoers League chapter during its first sea- son. Appearing with the professional cast will be six local youths, Leo Litt. John Fortune, Donald Downey, William ‘Webb, Roger McKinnon and John Fox, taking the parts of novices at St. Gregory's monastery of the Jesuit order, Vehicle Is Unusual With an all male cast, “The First Legion” is the type of play which is produced once in a decade. Typical Broadway managers as a rule do not look kindly upon dramas of the so- called “uplift” variety and Emmet Lavery, the author, sent the manu- script of his play to every manager in ‘New York. It always came back to him with the usual words of rejection, yet he did not despair. Finally he met a man who was so impressed with the theme that he banked his all on a handsome production and the play was brought out in the Forty-Sixth Street theatre, It met instant success. Seldom has a play aroused so much talk. While most of the characters are Jesuit priests, there is an amusing old doctor who thinks that he is an atheist but who, in the end, acknow- ledges that he believes in the miracle which ends the piece with a stirring climax. Also there is the boy Jimmy ‘Magee and the little parish priest who Jokes his Jesuit friends about their various eccentricities. Nat Burns, well known New York director, has directed rehearsals and will appear in the ver- sion offered in Bismarck. Trade Volume Hits Year’s High Level New York.

Hawley celebrated his 13th birthday Friday—Friday the 13th—and, denying he is su- + perstitious, pointed out that 13, and the figures “one” and “three” have a special significance for him. He was born on the 13th day of the third month in 1923 at 10:30 a. m. and even his name contains 13 letters. But the boy said he probably won't go out of his way to walk under ladders, break mirrors or open umbrellas in the house. Finland has rejected a proposal to compel the use of alcohol-gasoline blended motor fuel. THIS NATURAL FOOD GENTLY REGULATES YOUR SYSTEM Furnishes Needed “Bulk” for Regular Habits Your doctor will tell you that keeping healthy depends far more on proper diet than on drugs, that common constipation is usually due to insufficient “bulk” in meals, and that patent medicines give you only temporary relief. Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN supplies gently acting “bulk” which corrects the cause of common constipation.* This “bulk” takes up moisture, forming a soft mass which helps to cleanse the system. Auu-BRAN gives your body the regular internal exercise it needs to prevent sluggishness. ALL-BRAN also furnishes vitamin B and iron. Studies on normal men and wo- men have shown that this delicious cereal is perfectly satisfactory. Serve ALL-BRAN regularly for reg- ularity, with milk or cream—or use in cooking. Two tablespoonfuls daily are usu- ally sufficient. Consult your doctor if you do not gajn relief this way. ALL-BRAN is much more effective than part-bran prod- ucts. Get ALL-BRAN at your grocer’s.

Bismarck is too big to stage @ stunt like growing whiskers. Bismarck is not too big to ask ~ its male residents to grow whisk- ers. # These two statements epitomiz- ed one of the arguments on the whisker question which has di- vided Bismarck into two camps. The anti-whiskerites say it was all right for Jamestown, Hebron, Devils Lake, New Rockford and other smaller communities, but that it would not be in harmony with Bismarck’s dignity as a metropolis. Mrs. W. A. Falconer, wife of the redoubtable sage of Bismarck, recalled Friday, however, that when she was in Walla Walla, Wash., a few years ago everyone was wearing whiskers for a cele- bration there, Walla Walla is a city of 15,900 persons (1930 cen- sus). Others recalled that Minot had a whisker club in connection with its golden anniversary and the Paul Bunyan celebration at Brainerd, Minn., last summer was dominated by a bevy of whisker- ados. The 1930 count for Brain- erd was 10.221, This information is not advanc- ed in support of either argument but merely as a matter of infor- mation.
