The film forces were called upon to save the huge plant of the First National Hluaio at North Holly wood late yesterday from a grass and brush fire, which swept 1,000 acres of the nearby hills. To a lesser extent fears were felt for tho Hafty of the Universal Pic tures studio ut Universal City, Although the motion picturo peo ple and organised fighters who were rushed to the battle, which extended over a three-mile front, hacked uway brush and played streams of water on the lower buildings of the First National movie plant, it was a shift of the wind which brought victory. Tho change in the wind turned the flames hack against the burned area and tho fire was brought un der control. Featured players joined laborers In the battle with the brush fire. Itlchurd HarthelmcHS, the actor, directed a wjund of workers In back-firing to cut off the fire, t In the belief that a cigarette tossed away by a motorist wh sponsible for tho starting of tha fire, officers ordered n check oi' all truck drivers who had been using the nearby road. A report also was received that two men hud been passing In a small truck and that one of them tossed a lighted match Into a pile of brush. 'The Drag Net9 Opens Rialto Theatre Today Machine guns chatter fiercely as sworn enemies meet In bitte: conflict in '"The Ihag Net," now playing at the' ItUllo theater. (Jcorgr Itancroft Is wtarVd In th's high voltage melodrama of the fight to the death between police and an organized band of murder ous hi-Jackors. Recalling Bancroft's perform ances In "Underworld" and "The Hhow lown," It was easy to ex pect a virile and exalting vehicle Of screen entertainment in "Tho Drag Net." It has ail the thrill ing ipialltles which made "Under world", such a tremendous success and all of the tense drama of "The . Show Down." In addition there is u strain .of pathos and an unusual thread of romanee which easily entitle "The Drag Net' to be dueled as u really great picture. The picture deals with the un derworld theme but attiieks the problem from the standpoint of the men who defend society with their lives. Mancrott takes the part of a detective lieutenant who doesn't know the meaning of fear. He is glvrn orders to clean out the gang of crooks who huve been making law nnd order n mockery In a lough district of the city. llancroft is superb in his char acterisation of the detective lieu tenant nnd Kvelyn Hrent gives a wonderful performance as the girl wno admires strength above alt other mutinies. Wllllnm I'owell gives one of his usual masterly performances us the underworld gang and Vred Kohler is excep tionally convincing as Stove . the Creek, one qf the gang leader's lieutenants.
