Skelton has one of the most in- gratiating roles of his long laugh career as the small-town boy with big-time ideas of the future of the “gasmobile.” Not even the deter- mined opposition of his fiancee’ father, owner of the town's liv- ery ble, can deter him and, after a series of rib-tickling trials and tribulations in which he almost burns down his barn in his experi- ments with the gasmobile and faces the loss of his sweetheart to the son of the local banker, he gloriously vindicates himself by nosing out his rival in a race for a $5,000 purse—a race which for suspense ,ingenious accidents, horseplay and howling sit- uations has never been equalled on the screen. As in their previous successful turn-of-the-century musical, “Two Weeks - With Love,” Director Roy Rowland and Producer Jack Cum- mings have infused their story with appropriate song and dance inter- ludes, but while the former picture confined itself to music ef an older day, “Excuse My Dust” boasts a score of new songs by the noted song-writing team of Dorothy Fields and Arthur Schwartz, and you will soon be hearing, humming and whis- tling such attractive numbers as “Spring Has Sprung,” “Lorelei Brown,” “Goin’ Steady,” ‘T'd Love to Take You Out Dreaming,” “That's For Children” and the rowdy and amusing “Get a Horse.” PARTY HELD AT THANE FOR FORMER RESIDENT Mr. and Mrs. Dick Cesmat of San Leandro, Calif. were honored guests at a cocktail and buffet party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Riendeau at Thane last Sunday.

Carlson, professor of history at Northwestern Uni- versity, Evanston, Illinois. “An Alaskan Gold Mine, The Story of No. 9 Above,” just pub- lished by the Northwestern Uni- versity Press, details of gold mining profits which made possible the erection of the Swedish Covenant hospital and three buildings of North Park Col- lege in Chicago. Not a novel, the book is a study of the great stampede to' Nome and the Seward Peninsula in 1898-1901. It is also a narrative of the dis- coveries of gold by Scandinavians on the richest stream near Nome— Anvil Creek—and of one very rich mine, No. 9 Above Discovery. The mine got its name from the custom of numbering the claims staked either upstream or down- stream from the point where gold was first found. . Story Gathered The story, gathered from rare manuscript and legal sources, re- and discovery, the staking and re- cording of claims, and the strug- jgles of Eskimos, missionaries and claim jumpers for ownership, as well as developments during the period from 1898-1902. One of the greatest legal swin- dles ever atempted in history in- volved No. 9 Above, and formed the basis of a novel by Rex Beach called “The Spoilers, later made into a motion picture. The book’s five parts include des- criptions of the Eskimo lawsult, arbitration commission hearings in Chicago and the tracing of the |legal history of the case. National Legal Battle ‘The legal battle for ownership of No. 9 Above became nationally famous. The issues were argued before 11 different courts, includ- ing the United States Supreme court, to which appeal was made jon four occasions. Twenty judges and 24 lawyers became deeply in- | volved in the complicated legal ar- guments which were- continued over a period of 16 years. In preparation for the writing of the book, Dr. Carlson spent five years of steady research. He vis- |ited Alaska three times, worked through' the records of the Alaska Territorial Library and Museum, and followed the complex litigation by investigating the records in the offices of the clerks of the courts in Chicago and Springfield, Il; in Akilene and Topeka, Kan.; in St. Louis, Mo.; in San Francis- lco, Calif; in Juneau, Alaska; in the Library of Congress; in the Supreme Court library, and in the: Department of Justice records in the National Archives at Washing- Iton, D. C. | Dr. Carlson was fortunate in lo- (cating several “sourdoughs” who | participated in the gold rushes of 1897-1900, from whom he secured valuable information. He 'had in- | terviews with two men who worked ;on No. 8 Above in 1900, and with two lawyers who participated in the long legal battle, all of whom ,added important details. The re- sult is a careful, detailed, exhaus- tive, and objective study of a sub- Jject -which evoked strong feelings 40 years ago.

Lovely Wanda Hendrix has her uring role to date as Abby | girl of nineteen married to a man past fifty. Claude Rains co- stars as her husband, a man who judges his wife’s devotion by the amount of work she does on the farm. Abby never questions whether hers is a happy marriage until the day young and handsome Bruce Eld- ridge comes upon the scene’to re- mind her of the years she is wast- ing. MatDonald Carey completes the roster with his assignment as Abby’s ardent suitor who offers her the love she has always wanted. This dramatic triangle is set in New England shortly after the turn of the century. The story, told with the delicate grace of its picturesque setting, builds in intensity to a pow- erfully stirring conclusion. A thrilling background of operatic, semi-classical and popular melodies accompanies the dramatic develop- ments of the plot.
