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.

There in an old tradition in the
west thai makes all cattlemen in

of a lamb. This old hate flames
anew in this realistic western and
results in a fine story that is well

The meteorological report for
December, issued by the local
weather bureau, W. J. 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.
J'revailing winds were from the
northwest with a total of 2096
miles of wind movement. This
total Is somewhat less than tho
usual December amount. Tho
a vet age hourly velocity was 2.8
miles per hour with a maximum
velocity of 311 miles per hour blow
ing from the southeast on tho 12th.
