C, and return, the building of an entire Texas town in every detail and the leasing of more than 2,000 acres of California ranch with 5000 long- horn cattle—these were three of the production details in the making of “A Texas Steer,” comedy-rio starring Will Rogers, at the Palace Thursday. “A Texas Steer,” comedy special with Sam E. Rork the producer, is one of the big features of the year for First National Pictures. Rogers has the role of a Texas cattleman elected to Congress, and the story, incidentally, is the screen version of the famous farce “A Texas Steer,” by Charles Hoyt. Exteriors for “A Texas Steer” were taken in the nation’s capitol} and through the co-operation of the National Press Club and indi- vidual officials of Washington even the White House, was produced for scenes in the picture to give it the absolutely. correct background. i pany, jof the journal TRANE MAGAZINE TELLS OF RICE AND ‘SOAPY’ SMITH In the February issue of “The Bob,” the organization journal of the Trane Manufacturing Com- the first several pages are devoted to the Alaskan activities of George Rice in connection with his company representing the Trane people in the north. The article tells of Mr. Rice do- ing construction work practically all over the Territory. One page is devoted to the famous character “Soapy” Smith, his gang and operations in and around Skagway, and the sudden end of Smith. The author of the story said, “Yes, Soapy would have made a good Chicago gangster, but he made a big mistake; he got re- ligion.” Several fine pictures of Juneau and especially pictures of the new High School and Masonic Temple, in which Mr. Rice .installed the heating appliances, are given space in the paper.
