APPLYTORCITTO V I: U Scene from " Mvtv7)irk'shrrin$ John Barry 'more '-Af&rrxrSvsfa&cfcA; "Moby Dick," one of the great est sea stories of all times, is the unusual attraction offered by the Holly theatre. The Warner Broth ers' Vitaphune version of this re markable tale of a whale gave this afternoon's audience a mem orable experience. "Moby Dick' is tremendous drama, and Barrymore's portrayal of Mud Ahah, pursuer of the white whale, is magnificent. The per formance reveals the mature Harry more, the finished artist, the consumate master of his profes sion. The vital force of the man gives realism and power to a pro duction that for spectacular beauty has never lieen equalled on the talking screen. "Moby Dirk'' is a combination of romanee ami adventure that in evitably stirs the blood of every person who sees the picture. The love story. Interwoven with the sterner drama of the fabbted whale, is tenderly and beautifully effective. Juan Ilennett, who plays opposite Mr. Barry more, is captl vating, and Lloyd Hughes, as the jealous brother, is at his best.

Stri piling its subject of melo d ra m a or sentimentality, "The Criminal Code" tells of i sensitive body and the effect upon him of asoclation with hardened crim inals.

MainO "We Sell Happiness" Phone 8 IOEOEXOIIOXaIOEIOX 1 To see Yakima Canutt in a rlck I ety buck board dash down the side 1 of a ravine so steep as to strike tci;ror 1nio thy soul of a mere on- j looker Is to see only one of tho numerous unusual and thrilling In ! cidents that are crowded into "Can I yon HawkfV' which opens at ho ; is a fine, wholesome western of the ! kind one gets an opportunity to see only too rarely. There in an old tradition in the west thai makes all cattlemen in stinctively hale all sheepmen and turn away in disgust at the smell of a lamb. This old hate flames anew in this realistic western and results in a fine story that is well told from Mart to finish. Heading thin fine cast is Yakima Ca ntn t, that daring cowboy who has distinguished himself afteri In both films am) rodeo shows. Ca nutt plays the part of the hero and is a most energetic and lov ;ihc cowboy. Supporting him is W7.7. I anion, only I ti years old. He l.s UiHp'e.sl ion il lily a finished actor and 1 here can be no doubt that we will assuredly hear more of (his youngster In the next few years. The story hinges on the very dramatic incident of some sheep herders poaching on the property of cattlemen. When the ranch owner, discovering one of the in truders to be a beautiful ynuni; girl, refuses to put them out, all his men turn auaiust him and he is forced to f iht almost jdncle handed against the opposition which his action n rouses. How he meets this situation and how he manages, too, to show up some of I he ranch men as a band of out laws known as tho "Canyon Hawks" is the action of which this fine western fabric Is knit. Here, in deed, is a clean, wholes onie film that Is plausible and convincing ami that will provide entertainment for the parents as well as for the youngsters.

Hutchison, in eliame, shows the month opened wit Ii cloudy and foKKy weather which continued accompanied by occasional light rains throughout the first and second decades. The balance of the month passed with out precipitation except for a light rain on the 31st. Continued high barometric pres sure over the plateau region blocked the eastward passage of low pressure or storm areas and as a result cloudiness und fog pre dominated tho entire month and the December precipitation was subnormal. Rains scattered thru the month were generally of short duration und light fall. The great est J-f-hour amount of precipita tion. 0.43 inches occurred on tho 10th and lltli. A light snow fell during the evening of tho 18th anion nting to 0.U of an Inch in depth. This snow, however, did not remain on the ground long duo to the ratu following immediaUly. During tho closing decade cold drying weather prevailed, endan gering fall planted grains. The cracking of the drying soil tended to expose the tender roots to freez ing .temperatures. This condition cudgd on the 31st, however, when slightly warmer weather with light rain terminated tho dry period and the jposslbftlty of the damugc by freezing. ... Average dally temperatures dur ing the month were generally not far jfrom normal. There were no maiked periods of extremes of high or low temperatures. f The highest temperature, GO degrees, occurred on the llith and the low er temperatures for the month wero reached during tho closing days with tho lowest minimum, Hi degrees, on the I'Slh.
