This all- talking production was written and supervised by Arthur Guy Empy, author of “Over the Top.” Three California military posts supplied the backgrounds and thousands of horses and troopers took part ‘in the picture. The entire Tiffany production staff spent weeks at Monterey, a post boasting unusual scenic beauty because of its won- derful cypress trees. Other scenes were taken at “Fort Rosecrans in :s«m Diego, where Empy’s own regi- {ment, the 11th United States Cav- lnlry. is stationed and who per- irormed in the picture, and at Fort MacArthur in San Pedro. Military Correctness Col. Roger 8. Fitch personally supervised the military correctness of “Troopers Three,” which was produced with the sanction and \approval of the United States Gov- ernment, and which is the first picture of its kind to be made entirely in dialogue and sound. The feats of horsemanship, with the pounding of hoofs and the shot- ing should add greatly to the thrill. Pyramid riding, Roman racing and |a pistol attack on horseback at & gallop through a woods of fallen and standing trees are some of the cavalry performances.

Second at Seward Our Insurance Creed “There can be no bargain sales for insurance. The law of averages has established that at least certain of the promises to pay must be met. The funds to meet these promises to pay must always be at hand. The risk to one company in- a given promise to pay cannot differ sub- stantially from that of the other company. The rates for such risk cannot vary. They are based upon the same experience. They both accept the same probability. When you pay you receive nothing but a promise and this promise can be redeemed only if the prices charged are scientifically correct.” By JAMES A BEHA, Former Superintendent of In- surance, State of New York.
