of his powerful portrayals. Cast

nurtured son, a violin prodigy.
Into a granite chip off the old
block. Holt estranges the boy, su
perbly played by Jimmy Butler,
from him. Florence Rice, one of
the newer-comers to the screen,
again hands in a finely drawn
nerformance. as the girl who
sympathises with the child and
finally makes Holt realise that
his treatment of him Is all wrong
Kathleen Burke, exotic and very
talented, does exceptlonaly well
as the "other woman," who tries
to keep Holt and his son apart.

Crosby at State
With a score as good as the
best he has ever had In a film,
Bing Crosby sings, romps and ro
mances his way through the col
orful passages of "Mississippi,
Paramount's gala picture now at
the State theatre, asisted by W
C. Fields, Joan Bennett, Queenie
Smith and Gail Patrick.
"Mississippi" Is a story of the
romantic south in the days when
ladies swooned and men duelled,
for entertainment. Crosby, the
Yankee sweetheart of Gail Pat
rick, declines to duel for his
lady's love, is branded as a cow
ard and forced to join Fields
acting troupe on "The River
Queen" in order to escape the
taunts of his former friends.
Fields, the commodore, is
blustering braggart who talks
better ngnt man be ever saw.
Somehow he prevails on Crosby
to change his attitude and soon
makes him the wildest gunfighter
and dueller of the Mississippi,
L feared all along the river as "The
Singing Killer."
One of the best scenes of the
film is written about Crosby's
singing of the old favorite "Swan
ee," with the assistance of a 40-
voice negro chorus. The other
songs done by Crosby are four
new Rodgrs and Hart tunes, In
cluding "Soon" and "Down by
the River."

PREPARE PROJECTS
Some Jobs for Present and
Others for Future are
Urged by Martin
Each county planning board in
the state, organizations formed
since the last session of the legis
lature, were requested yesterday
by Governor Charles H. Martin to
prepare a program of projects
needed for county development,
some to be constructed under the
work relief program and some to
be held in abeyance until funds
are available in the future. "It is
desirable that an early start be
made on a study of the resources
and need's of your county and its
possibilities," the governor wrote
the boards. '
