Heading the bill are the Casson's and company, a versatile quartet of entertain ers who appear in an offering en titled "What Next," and it will keep the audience guessing what is next. The College Trio are a fast acro batic organization who have juat returned from Europe where they were a sensation in their accom plishments which is full of thrills and surprises.

Parks and Clayton, a dapper pair, are "Natural Delineators of up-to-date Comedy," and their ve hicle which is of the musical com edy type, is bound to touch the popular chord. Helen Lee Bidwell, the "Michi gan Nightingale," Is a pleasing young vocalist just back from a number of years' study in Paris, and her offering, a breezy "piano logue," is just bubbling over with bright vocal gems of the ballad and semi-classic variety. tin the screen the Capitol will offer "Winners of the Wilder ness," starring Tim McCoy. Viola Vercler Holman and her Capitol theater orchestra will complete the bill. Reciprocity in 1 Control of Broadcasting Fails OTTAWA, Ont., April 9. (AP) Possibility of reciprocity be tween United States and Canada to control radio broadcasting in North -America was deadlocked to day when the house of commons was told by the minister of marine and fisheries of the dominion's need for exclusive control of 12 high power stations, with partial control of an additional 14 sta tions. The federal radio commission at Washington has conceded to give the Canadians exclusive con trol of six high power stations, with part control of six others, but the Canadians have not departed from their original demand J for exclusive control of 12 stations, and part rights in 14 more.

Hollywood Theater If a thing is invisible, can you see it? - Sounds silly, perhaps, but it rep resents a job that required a great deal of ingenuity on the part of the Fairbanks technical staff in making "The Thief of Bagdad," which shows at the Hollywood theater April 10 and 11. The Cloak of Invisibility, which has caused a great deal of com ment, is supposed to render its wearer invisible. It was necessary however, that the audience have some idea of the exact location ofthis cloak even during the mo ments that it is Invisible. How this could be done, presented a pretty problem. The solution of it is an entrancing optical subtlety. You see the cloak thrown over the shoulder of its owner, and lo! he disappears, but as he moves about under the cloak there is a vague bhadowy shape which yoa can fol low with your eyes, but it is so elusive and ethereal a thing that you cannot be sure even of what you see. TALKED ST MEET HUBBARD. Or., April 9. Spading, community spirit and painting of old buildings occupied the time of the Hubbard Commun ity club at its meeting held Fri day evening at the IOOF hall. Having at a former meeting agreed that each member of the club spade at least 40 feet of parking In front of his property, those who failed were severely reprimanded. "If we cannot do the little things such as spading, how can we expect to do the big work of the community," asked one member. ' The painting season is now on in Hubbard and the Community club again emphasized the im portance of painting every faded building in the towfi. The mayor declared that the city hall would be painted as soon as the spring rains stop.' The hardware dealer announced a carload of paints re ceived. With its community spirit go ing strong, members announced that the next big job was that of building a community hall for Hubbard. All community meet ings are now held in the Odd Fellows hall and the opinion was that as Hubbard was one of the livest communities in the county, it should have a community build ing. It was also announced that the Hubbard community is strong for the county agent idea, and that the leading communities in the northern part of the county were a unit in favor of h'aving a vote on the county agent at the June 28 election.
