BUZZ BAINBRDGE IS HEART VICTIM Veteran Showman and Former Minneapolis Mayor Was Widely Known Minneapolis, March 14.—(#)—Alex- ander Gilbert (Buzz) Bainbridge, 50, veteran showman and mayor of Min- neapolis for the 1933-35 term, died at the veterans hospital Saturday from heart disease. Bainbridge was taken to the hos- pital Tuesday when the heart. ail- ment, from which he suffered for sev- eral months, became worse. He was known as “Buzz” to leaders in the theatrical profession through- out the country and was a prominent member of the Zuhrah Temple of the Mystic Shrine. His first connection with the show ‘business was at the age of 17 when he was a bill poster for a circus. He advanced in the circus work unt!) 1908 when he left that field to form his own Twin City Dramatic Stock company, the Bainbridge Players. It was in 1908 that he began his service with the Shubert Theatrical company when he arranged to pro- mote and build two theaters in the Twin Cities. Bainbridge’s nomination for mayor came as a surprise to many. He emerged victor on June 12, 1933, by a majority of more than 10,000 over for- mer Mayor William Anderson, and went into office in July with the dec- laration that Minneapolis no longer would be a “9 o'clock town.” Duce’s Armies Moving Into Lake Tana Area Rome, March 14.—(?)—Marching into lush jungle country, a far west- ern Fascist column ‘moved down the Ethiopian-Sudanese frontier lands Saturday, driving a wedge toward Lake Tana and Great Britain’s sphere of influence, Weather Report WEATHER FORECAST | For Bismarck and vicinity: Gen- erally fair tonight and Sunday; cold- —, er_tonight.

The question was ‘whether those personal remarks wer2 free advertising or a possible cause for libel.) ‘These remarks were all written. Wise cracks by the score were heard on every hand as the city entered into the spirit of the thing. The wails of objectors were reduced to a low moan by the news that the! whiskerites were ahead Friday but later they picked up courage and be- gan circulating petitions. The first anti-whisker petition was received during the day. Two pro-whisker pe- titions already were on file. Meanwhile, Frank Milhollan, gen- eral chairman of the gigantic cele- bration July 3, 4 and 5, prepared to call his general committee together to decide what to do about the mat- ter. The vote will be canvassed at that time and, if it is decided to form @ whisker club, rules and regulations will be promulgated, along with an official definition as to what consti- tutes whiskers. | ‘The antis were insisting that, in the event the proposal carries a mus- tache should be sufficient.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, MARCH 14, "THE FIRST LEGION’ IS GRIPPING DRAMA Excellent Portrayals and Nov- elty of Theme Provide Good Evening in Theatre Bismarck theatregoers were deeply moved by the Players League produc-! tion of “The First Legion,” Emmet Lavery’s stirring drama of the Society | of Jesus, given by a superbly well balanced cast Friday evening in the city auditorium. As unusual in presentatior’ as in its theme, “Let others conquer the world —even as Alexander for us something is required—it is for us to conquer ourselves,” expressed by Father Rec- tor, the drama soon gripped the ima- gination of the audience, which be- came reverent as the story of the power of faith unfolded. A hesitancy to applaud at the curtains became apparent and was a glowing tribute; to the actors. There were many cur- tain calls, Cast in the setting of a Jesuit mon- astery the piece concerns the doubts of three younger members of the order, who find renunciation of the world and obedience hard until the miracle which makes Jimmy Magee | walk again restores their faith and! Rev. Quarterman declares, “The big- gest miracle is to have faith-—and to have faith is a miracle.” Except for | Dr. Peter Morell, an atheist, and the’ boy Jimmy all the characters are priests or novices. Every member of the cast gave a remarkable characterization. To those familiar with Catholic liturgy, the faithfulness of all the portrayals to the smallest details was striking. Throughout the atmosphere was most convincing. The musical setting was provided by three local musicians, Mrs. Arthur Bauer, Ralph Truman! and Guy Larson. Most dramatic scenes were those in which William Robertson as Father Jose Sierra entered after his miracul- ous healing, the confessional scene with Dr. Morell (Philip Rothe) and Father Fulton (Frank Gibney) and that in the final act in which Rob- ert Mayors, who portrays Jimmy, leaves his wheel chair and walks. William Dorbin as the Father Rec- tor, Ainsworth Arnold as Father Quarterman, Earl McDonald as Rev. Ahern, and Nat Burns as Monsignor Carey, the jolly parish priest who introduced the comedy note, were among the favorites, Excellent work was done also by Philip Coolidge as Father Keene, C. Russell Sage as Father Robert and Alan Handley as, Father Thomas. Local youths took the parts of novices. The play closed a series of three brought by the local Playgoers League chapter in its first season of activity. New Jersey Awakened By Rumbling Meteor Newark, N.
