or match, Under dry brush and a
brisk wind these were the cpm
bination which , brought almost a
thousand ' film workers Into tha
real drum a of fire fighting neur
hero yesterday.
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

Machine guns chatter fiercely

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

tionally convincing as Stove . the

SHEER THINGS ANDSTURDY THINGS, TOO
THIS ZIEGFELD SHOW USES LUX: IN "ROSALIE,"
brilliant Broadway success featuring the adorable Marilyn Miller (center),' the
sheer, long stockings worn by stars and choruses are kept like new with Lux.
livery other musical show in New York also uses Lux to double the life of
stockings. As the Shuhert General Manager enthusiastically puts it "We
would use Lux if it cost $1.00 a box. Lux cuts stocking bills in half."
LUX IS SO PURE that
the famous New York Mater
nity Center uses Lux in cleans
ing all baby things, so that
tlwre can be no risk of irritat
ing the baby's tender skin.
This gives vivid proof of
the purity of Lux and the
great care with which it is
made. For organizations such
as the Maternity Center have
submitted Lux to most rigid
analysis and tests before choos
ing it officially. No wonder
Lux never hcrms delicate
colors or tine fabrics.
