The wagon freighters were a hard-fighting, tenacious crew that stopped at nothing when it came to getting their wagons through to their destination. “The theme of my picture is the fight for trade between honest and dishonest wagon organizations. Food prices in the early West were necessarily high. = When the wag- on treight trade got into the hands of an unscrupulous monopoly, the camps served were faced with ruin.” B ¢ | HOLLYWOOD INVADED | | BY MEXICAN ARMY | 0 A Mexican “army” has marched on Hollywood. ‘The khaki-clad host has flocked & [+ “THREE LIVE GHOS' | COMING TO P “Three Live Ghosts,” United Ar ists all-talking comedy-drama fe: turing an all-star cast \\]n\h at the Palace theatre soon, s ve entirely dmu ent in its theme, story construction tand locale from any all-talking pic- ture thus far produced There are no courtroom, theatre or night club scenes depicted in Three Live Ghosts,” nor does the picture feature a theme song or song and dance specialties. ‘Thornton Freeland, director of “Three Live Ghosts,” pointed out| that every all-talking picture pro- duced to date has either featured back-stage life, a courtroom locals or a singing and dancing revue. “Three Live Ghosts,” Freeland revealed, deals with the complica- tions that arise when three British soldiers, after escaping from a German prison camp, return to London and learn to their amaze- ment that they have been listed by the government as “killed in ac- tion.” HERRIMANS TO LIVE IN WESTWARD CITY Phil O.

Chemical gases and heavy smoke made it practically impossible to reach the flames, and nearly all the fire fighting was done from the decks. With 750 gallons of fuel in her tanks the Widgeon was in danger of serious explosions, for the fire burned under, above and on the sides of the tank. The explosion in the engine room was of such force that a door leading to the forward part of the boat was blown completely from its hinges. Damage to the boat amounted to several hundreds of dollars.
