E HERE MILLS ELSEWHERE Production at mills reporting to the West Coast Lumbermen's association in the week ending June 8, increased from 24,500,000 feet In the previous week to 32,- 494,000 or approximately 33 per cent. Shipments increased 4, 000,000 feet or 12 per cent. New business taken decreased by 10.9 per cent and the week's total of 37,000,000 feet is in line with the effects of this strike upon the in dustry. After five weeks the strike ap pears to have been a boon to the lumber mills in the south, Cali fornia, southern and eastern Ore gon; and to have stimulated con siderable business in Canada. It also appears that these regions are taking full advantage of the West Coast shut-down. With the industry running, mostly in Oregon, at 30,000,000 feet of production and shipments weekly, it is losing 60,000,000 feet : weekly in lumber sales. Southern pine and Western pine both added sharply to their pro duction In May. Important mar kets in the central states and along : the Atlantic seaboard re port plenty of lumber is now flow ing into the Mississippi valley, to the Great Lakes states and east ward to supply the building now going on and to replenish retail yards. Most of this is Southern nine, western pine, northeastern spruce and pine from Canada, Prices along the Atlantic coast have not increased enough, due to the west coast shut-down, to per- mit a heavy movement of lumber from British Columbia: but some orders are reported as placed there.

Raft, Carole Lombard and Margo In Cast; Scenes Colorful The tricky, fascinating and se ductive rhythms of Cuba's centur-iea-oid native dances form the ac companiment and background for the dramatic love story of George Raft'a new starring Paramount picture, "Rumba", which comes today to the State theatre. Carole Lombard, his partner in "Bolero," is again co-starred, and Margo, petite Spanish dancer, is featured. Haft is cast as a cabaret dancer in Havana, exiled from his belov ed Broadway by threats of gang vengeance. He falls in love with Carole Lombard, an heiress, and, despite repeated snubs, persists In his suit. In time she, too, falls in love with him, but her parents learn of the infatuation ana force her to return to New York. In order to ba near the girl he lores, Raft takes the starring part In a Broadway show. The story moves to a climax in which the lovers are rejoined in an ecstatic "Rumba" the Cuban dance of love. irar ROMANCE ON AT HOLLYWOOD In a story that fairly sparkles with high romance, Helen Hayes and Robert Montgomery come to the screen of the Hollywood theatre today as co-stars for only the second time in their respective careers. The story is "Vanessa: Her Love Story," from the brilliant pea of the eminent novelist, Hugh Walpole. It is definitely listed among the better photoplays of the new season. Miss Hayes has never given a more sterling performance than as the heroine, Vanessa, who blindly in love with Montgomery, is persuaded to accept a more suitable marriage with Otto Kru ger. She is not able to forget her first love arvi manages to spend a few happy hours with him after Kruger, Insanely jealous, has or dered her from his home. How she and Montgomery work out the tangled skein of their lives pro vides absorbing entertainment. Kruger, as the madman, gives an exceptional performance, ably assisted by others of the distin guished cast. Among these should be mentioned May Robson, Lewis Stone and Henry Stephenson.

The two appear in an amateur charity show which is one of the most hilarious scenes in the picture. How Rogers effects a cure for them is one of the highlights of the picture and shouldn't be miss ed. Billie Burke is splendid as the Btage-fitruck wife who thinks she's been suppressing a desire all these many years. Alison Skipworth very capably and expertly repeats the part of Mrs. Pampinelll, which she played on the stage; while Sterling Holloway, as the bung ling sound-effects man for the play, is a scream.
