U, S, NAVAL BALLOON ? MATERIAL IS IDEAL FOR INDIAN CANOES

By Associated Pren COCHRANE. Ont.. My 13. Some .wonderful canoes appeared mysteriously recently in the James Bay region. They weer constructed not. of birchbark, but of a M range material the North had never seen. As light and swift as swallows on the wing. they skimmed the water. Moose Faotorv Indians marveled. Had the Great Spirit come from the Happv Hunting Grounds to teach his red children new medicine? The big ballon that carried three of Uncle Sam's naval aviators into the wilderness several months ago has since lain collapsed on the spot where it descended. Officials of Moose Fac: tory. one of the earliest posts established on American shores by the Hudson Bay company, had given or ders to all the Indians who own allegiance to the ancient fur company, to leave the great gas bag undisturbed. These orders had been strictly observed. Indians Take Charge. A band of outlaw Indians, whose home village is sixty miles northwest of Moose Factory, found the balloon. CHd Hudson's Bay company's order meant nothing to them. As for Uncle Sam, they had never heard of him. But they knew good canoe material when they saw it and straightway with their hunting knives they sliced great blanket pieces from' the sides of ihe fallen monster and from the magic fabric fashioned canoes that rode the waves like a thistledown. The air had given the Northland their most marvelous craft. ' The Indians who wrecked Uncle Sam's gas bag are known as plutocrats of the wilderness. While on a recent visit, the chief of the outlaws was asked if he were not afraid of Retting into trouble for cutting up .1 ballon belonging to the Great Republic across the border. With a shrug he drew from his pocket a roll of money that would have made a rent, hog jealous. He was ready to deal with Uncle Sam as one man with another. "How much cost for big bag?" he asked indifferently. "Me buy the tam thing now and pay spot cash." The Theatres r SATURDAY Murrette Elaine Hammerstein in "The Miracle of Manhattan".

man through the medium of the cinema but it is the most remarkable demonstration of the circulation of the films that Lewis has ever known of. It's a far cry to Pretoria where the sun beats down on the populace 12 months of the year, and that an Arctic picture such as "The Barrier" should be featured in a South African movie palace, is unique, to say the least. MURRETTE. Elaine Hammerstein will again head the program at the Murette theater on Friday, this time in her latest Selznick Picture, "The Miracle of Manhattan" an original story by Bradley King. The many admirers, in Richmond of this popular star will experience a great surprise it is said when they witness this photoplay, as the star presents a characterization and production that is widely removed from any of her previous efforts. She is depicted as a young society bud who is suddenly removed from her surroundings of luxury and wealth and thrown into what is to her a new world. A world where people live by their wits and where the law is something to be avoided. There is a strong love story interwoven wrth the main theme and there are several most dramatic situations especially the big climax which occurs in a court of justice where a man is on trial for his life. MURRAY. 'Tis truly an unusual bill this last half. ' This statement is made because a variety of talent, all good of its kind, graces the stage. Lorraine Evon, featuring her trained

canary, is the headliner. Miss Evon is of gentle personality and appealing. She sings clearly and well, and is accomplished on the violin. "The Golden Bird," her canary, is a warbler of note. Lane and Harper present the kind of comedy the public likes. Boisterous slapstickery finds no abiding place in this offering. Both sing pleasingly. "I Want to be Naughty and Still be Nice," by the woman of the team, was well appreciated. They have a special setting for their performance. The young man in the team of Stewart and Lawrence seems too good to remain in vaudeville. His recitation of Kipling's "If," was faultless.' He shows emotional ability and temperament. Nat Burns is the first one in many weeks to give interpretative jigs. They are interpretative because he exhibits versions of nearly all, from the barn dance to the Highland fling. Dry humor intersperses his brief demonstrations. Frank Mayo in "Colorado," is the film feature. Marvin. That the motion picture industry has made better citizens of actors, is the interesting statement of Charles LeMoyne, the Universal player who is to be seen now at the Murray Theatre, supporting Frank Mayo, in "Colorado." "The day of the nomad actor, the strolling player, is fast disappearing," he said recently. "The wandering minstrel sings his lay at the studio and then parks his wild harp in his own garage until the next day. "What is perhaps the best feature of the screen from the standpoint of an actor is that one can have a home and bring up a family," he continued. France bought from England all the railway lines the latter laid down in j that country. i
