way for drilling. Oil companies promised them homes in newer sections and offered them small fortunes for leases. Many of them are laboring families of moderate means It appeared today that the city may be compelled to permit drilling in a large area of the suburb.

Its drama is the powerful drama of life. Its realism holds the mirror to nature. Its amazing story, swift and gripping, grim yet humorous, gives it a virility unprecedented in talking pictures.
