Harry Clexx, com- edian extraordinary, and Fritsie White, attractive soubrette whos: ehief aim in life seems to be to dis- courage the “blues,” head the rester of stars assembled fQr this peppy production. While being accorded the lion's share of applauae, duo is far from the whole show as Vinnie Phillips, Tom Clarkson, Al Baker, Freddie Walker, Ritzie Phil- lips and the talented, youthful chorus all come in for flattering ap- plause at every performance. The show boasts some very effective costuming, brevity being the rule, and the scenery employed is quite unusual, to say the least. Those in search of entertainment that is “gifferent” are urged to see “Gin- ger Girls,” which has a speclalty skit featuring Kenneth Terrell and Verne Henncy that has anything ever presented in this city beat for originality. : Too much advance praise cannot be given next week's production, “Lafin’ Through” a pretentious revue that specializes in music and comedy and leaves one aching with laughter.

FLAMES ENDANGER NEW CALIFORNIA WELLS Pillars of Fire Shoot Into Sky 180 | Feet High—Property Threatened. .~ Whittier, Cal., Jan. 10.—(@—Pil- lars of flame 180 feet high marking the location of two new oil wells | here, endangered millions of dollars worth of property in the Sante Fe springs fied today. Cement was be- ing forced down nearby ofl wells in | the hope of preventing the fire from | spreading through the forest of derricks. The wells, both gushers, caught fire vesterday soon after “blowing in," the first was well No. 1450 ef the General Petroleum company. It threw up mud and then burst into flames. 8hortly afterward a well known as Getty No. 20, about 200 feet away, was brought in. The sec- ond well threw up a sea of green mud which splattered an area one mile square, and then caught fire, presumably from the other burning gusher. The whole district was lighted up by the fires and the roar and vibrations from the twe burning oil wells shook buildings for a mile around. The Los Angeles fire de- partment sprayed water on the main pumping station of the General Petroleum company, several hundred feet away, and en cottages of em- ployes to prevent the spread of the blaze. The mud belched up by the two wells from the 3,500 foot level, oozed | through surrounding streets and made bogs of them. Engineers wal- lowed hip deep in the mud as they directed the men laying high pres sure pipes for cementing the neigh- boring wells and crews in tractors and scrapers battling the creeping clay. The fire is the fourth destructive blaze in the Santa Fe Springs dis- trict in as many months.

Counsellor Barone, who died last Friday was revealed to have had confidential conversations about the possibilitics of solving the question with Consistorial Advocate Fran- cesco Pacelli, It was reported today that such progress had been made that there | was prospect of a favorable solution in the not far distant future, | his would bring true Premier Mussolini's prediction of last year when he told representatives of the Catholic party that relations between | the Holy See and the I[talian state must be regarded “with virile opti- mism.” ‘Whatever conditions have already heen agreed upon could not be learn- ed as all proceedings have been shrouded with the strictest secrccy.
