SPEAKING1 FILM
A big laugh entertainment open
ed at the Fox Hialto theater yester
day, to run until Wednesday, with
hu.ster Kenton, tho frozen-faced
comodiam supported by a largo cast
, . of s:ars, in his
first talking pic
ture, "Li'rco and
Easy," as the
feature picture,
and a short
comedy sketch.
"The Home Edi
tion," which also
caused much
merriment. A
good news re
view rounds out
the program.
"F re e and
Easy", not only
causes many
laughs - through
the antics of
Butter Keaton,
aided by. Trixie
ItiiHtr Itcaton.
FNganza, the
corpulent eommedlenne and for
mer musical comedy star, but shown
Uh the Inside of a utudlo in active
operation, has good dialogue and
clever lines, some good dancing and
chorus 1 singing,, pleasing ballets,
laughable sequence, and closes
with- a comic opera sequence.
Almost the entire locale of "Free
nnd Easy" Is laid In- a well-known
studio In fact, the picture is a
satire on life In - a studio, which
rfford's much fun. In fact, sev
eral of -the burlesque rehearsal se
quences cause side-splitting mer
riment. Moreover, despite It Is
burlesquot tho rohearsal .scenes are
quite Interesting - as' showing the
Inside workings of a studio, cam
era work, movie tricks, and the
faking of scenery. ;. .. .
The plot tells of. the attempt of
a Kansas beauty-prize winner,
played by Anita Page, to break In
to pictures in Hollywood, with tho
help of her mother (played by
Trixie Frigamta) and with Buster
ICoaton as her personal manager,
appointed by the chamber of com
merce of her home town. As it
finally turns out, the beauty falls
flat In getting nn engagement, but
her mother and blundering man
ager both got fat contracts In film
comedy work. ;.
Not only is Koaton supported by
prominent actors, with Robert
Montgomery, Anita Page and Trixie
Frlganza as leading, characters, Imt
other well-known actors, including
AVilllam flalncs. Earl Dane, Gwen
Leo, Win. Collier. Sr., Dorothy He-,
bnstaln. John Mllfan. Lottie How
ell, Marlon Schilling and Edgar
Hearing, and a number' of direct
ors and executives also ' tako fea
turo parts; Tho lutter , inelud"
Fred Niblo, Cecil DcMllle, Lionel
riarrymore and David Burton.
While "Free and Easy" l not the
funniest picture Buster Kenton hats
ever produced. It Is by all odd.,
whilo also very humorous the most
Interesting because- of the notable
east, sequences and specialties.
Of course tho expressionless
comedian, who is unexoelled in hi
simplated dumbness as a laugh
maker, by his nntlc-t an blunder-.
lugs is just as good, perhaps bec
ter, ns In his silent comedies, for
ho has a good speaking voice
one that fits iiv-wllh the typo of
occontrlo comedy- ho always por
trays. However, it is probable that Kea
ton's comedy, which dnos not reg
ister so well during the last scene
of tho comic opera sequence. woutJ
be more appreciated ha 1 ho not
hid such conspicuous support of
prominence.. Or perhaps It was
his effort at silent palhos some
broken-honrted clown stuff,
. Keaton .sings several songs alone,
and also with Miss Flrgan.a. but
will never sot the world afire as a
vocalist. However, the singing of
Misses Howell and Frlzanza iiiid of
Robert Montgomery was excellent,
as, was that of the, large chorus.

MADNESS
CAROLINE'S scream waa a lamp
that lighted ma down- through
whirling darkness until It went out
In the gale whistling past my ears,
just how long I lay on the Boor 1
never knew. Half an hour, per
haps. A swarm of bees droning in
my ears presently told me I was
still alive.
My head was a ring ot agony, my
itomach was crawling Into my
throat. The supremely vital thing
was that my torch bad revealed to
me the Ilvtd face of le Balafre, and
that Caroline had been with him. It
was not the crooked scar on the
man's right cheek bone, nor yet the
features ot his face which had star
tled me into thinking of lilra as
being of neither the living nor the
dead, but the look of a man wbo
has lived too long in the shadow of
his own hatred. It was ghastly.
Caroline bad been with him, and
my own Incompetency had left her
With him! A launch had come in.
Bee would have been In It. They'd
Me gono now. What was I to do?
What could I do? .
"Where are they taking her?" 1
cried. "Why are they taking her?"
And then: "This won't do. Keep
your head."
Climbing unsteadily to my feet, 1
switched on the light. The bodies
of Grainger and Parados lay side by
side. An undertaker bad prepared
them tor burial.
. The closet door waj open. It
had been shut and locked, the key
gone, when Ml83 Jaurles and I had
come into the room half an hour
before. -1 had hammered on the
door and felt like an idiot for doing
so. The garments In the closet
were thrown about in contusion.
. A key was in the lock inside the
door. Evidently le Bnlntre had
locked Caroline and himself in the
closet and threatened to kill her if
.she made their presence known.
. . I reeled onto the roof, where the
cool air revived me. A short dis
tance off shore a light was visible.
It was traveling north at a fast clip.
A small craft, I decided. Was it the
one I had seen putting Into the
cove? Perhaps one chance In ten.
say! That was all I needed. There
wero two fast cruisers at the Jetty.
' Nothing beats a forlorn hope for
putting starch Into a man. I flew
down the outside stair and along
the cliff to the cove trail. Throe
minutes brought me on to the jetty.
Dropping Into the cocplt ot the
Parados orulsor, 1 felt my way to
the engine and fumbled for the
tarter . . . found it The mech
anism whirred, but the engine did
not fire, 1 telt for matches. . . .
Mine were wet, and 1 stumbled Into
tlie cabin. Matches lay on the ta
ble. Shivering, 1 made my way
back to the engine and bent over
It. striking a match. The spark plug
wires had been wrenched out and
the gasoline feed line broken.
I threw myself aboard the police
launch. Its engine had been dis
abled in precisely the same way.
Sick with despair. 1 fell back
agnlnst the rail. 1 wanted to fling
myself overboard. Why hadn't I
done this? that? the other thing?
But after a minute or so I was
able to think with some coherence.
Caroline had run Into le Balafre as
she set out to meet Fllnue and me, 1
supposed, and he had bad either to
kill her or keep her quiet until he
could get away.
. But why had he taken her aboard
Ihelr launch when Bee put Into the
cover A definite motive, something
to do wllh their revenge scheme,
nerliaps, wns behind the abduction.
Le Balafrg's reason tor being
near the house at all looked equally
Inexplicable. . Parados was Lacote
.uid Lncdte was dead, killed, pre
sumably, by. the convicts them
selves, Why (hen should lo BalnM come
hack, since their revenge was con
summated? An Idea occurred to
me. Was It possible that le Bnlatri
and Bee had not killed Parados and
that they had not known until thlB
evening that he was dead? The In
rilnhle qnssHlou tallowed. If they
had not kilted Parados, who had?

Mr, Spitxer in 21 yennt old,
And then 1 was back where 1 had
begun. . i. , ...
A fantastic notion rucoeniy
i rought me up standing. That af
ternoon on the ridge above tha vil
lage Caroline had been sure she
bad seen some one move on one of
the wharves below us. I had
laughed at her. Hod she been right?
And it she had been, was it ooe
of the French convicts whom she
had seen? . Perhaps! No one ever
went there. The village would have
made an Ideal temporary headquar
ters. But above all, u.ere they Ink
ing Caroline there nowt
It was a desperate hope, out
enough to send me Hying along the
Jetty toward the foot of the cliff
trail. I could think ot hair a. dozen
reasons why le Balafre and Bee
should not go to the viirage and of
none why they should. If my bunch
was sound, I'd have plenty of time
afterward to think of Messieurs le
BalafM and Bee's reasons for re
turning to the village.
My feet were In bad condition by
the time I reached the top of the
trail. Fortunately I had another
pair ot shoes In my suitcase. As I
limped up the outside stair I tore
off my wet coat and shirt, replacing
them with the light overcoat I ba
brought with me. I didn't dare ro
take the time to change other gar
ments. My flashlight was hrokeiu.'
I had supposed that the house
was empty, but as I ran down the
stair to the. kail I heard a small
noise that might have been a sob of
a groan. It seemed lo come from
the vicinity of Miss Jahrles' room
The- door was shut. 1 knocked
There was no reply, and 1 pushed
into the room, turning the llghi
switch. Manning lay across Hit
hed, her head burled In a pillow.
"Get up," I said. "This Is Mr
Hunt. Where are the others?'"
She screamed at the sight of my
face, which was not surprising, as
I must have been a gory looklne
object. A valuable minute was losr
in reassuring her.
"Where are the others?" 1 re
reated sharply.
"I don't know, sir. I don't know
anything." She began to weep hys
terically. "They haven't come
back. I beard Miss Brent's volet
upstairs and another voice a
man's."
"What did he say?" I shouted.
"I don't know. I don't know any
thing. Ob, be had a tunny voice
like like Mr. Flique's. And he said
lie said something about a vlllagt
oh, Air. Hunt, you are hurting ni

"Was that all yon heard?"
"Yes, sir. Oh, my arm!"
. "Pull yourself together nnd lis

violently. "You aren't In any don

to get Caroline out ot thj hands oi
those two maniacs. If 1 failed again
I should not have the courage to g(.
on living. 1 saw no sign of any ot
the others. This was not surprls
Ing, at the Island occupied IS or 2(.
square miles.
Halt an hour ot this steady gall
found me sliding down the east
side of the slope. Reaching the hot
torn, I turned north and ran at (or
speed.
At II rat the buildings of the vll
.'go and the wharves and llic
benched hulks were blurs against
the black firmament. . As I enlerer1,
the village, 1 knew it tor what il
was and for nothing else: the sym
bol ot one man's hatred.
Hatred? The recurrent motll
blew on my emotions. Without
doubt I was mad.
At the head ot the second whan
the one on which Caroline had de
clared she had seen some one move,
t stopped. There was no sign n!
a launch, or ot any living being bin
myself, and no sound but the qulei
Inpplng of the ebbing tide. The np
pressive emptiness ot the place
turned ma sick.
Why had 1 come?

BOSEBURO, Ore., June S.iPI
Possibilities of uie use of airpluncs
to substitute for present slow
methods of orchard dusting and
spraying were tested hero ut the
H. A. Winston orchard, south of
Roup burg.,-3
Piloting a plane equipped ac
cording to U. S. department of ag

Uoyd scattered dust to control the
brown rot and spider mites. Oroiln l
observers checked the effective
ness of tho dust and secured figures
to be used In checking the umount
of materials used , as compared
with ground equipment.
The airplane, It -was believed,
cun be effective for control of
brown rot, . especially in unfavor
able seasons. The disease spreads
so quickly that control with ground
equipment is difficult, whilo the
plane can cover large areas.
An organization of growers to
utilize, planes (or disease control
in orchards on a c.o-oporutlvo bnsls
probably will result. Due lo tho
extremely low wind velocity in the
Umpqua valley. Douglas . county
orchards, experts snid, probably,
cnn.bij treated effectively.
