The climax of Music Week w-as
observed in a fitting program of the
county grade schools at the Hood
River high school auditorium last
Friday afternoon. The theme carried
out was very patriotic.
Cascade Locks were costumed in
real old mountain clothes and gave
a whooping quadrille with rhythmic
guitar and harmonica band.
Pine Grove put on a beautifully
executed May Pole dance and minuet.
Odeii and Mt. Hood’s southern mel­
odies w-ere lovely and the little colo­
nial couple was admired by all. Oak
Grove and Frankton’s Indian songs
were enjoyed very much, especially
“ Pale Moon.”
The Central Vale school which is
the smallest school impersonated the
Santa Fe pioneers and gave a tab­
leau and dance to the song of “ Ra­
mona.”
Barrett’s cowboys’ song and square
dance was dandy. They had two fid­
dlers and a guitar for real cowboy
rytbm.
We were rather proud of Park-
dale’s quadrille with two sets and
the genuine calling of Lyle Hutson.
But the best as last, when Dee
came on. The whole school was cos­
tumed which carried out the idea of
the Navy. They sang many of the
popular songs of the day.
Many of the parents from outlay­
ing districts can never attend these
county affairs. Perhaps we should
have two smaller ones, for every
parent should know the value of our
schools better.

At The Roosevelt
Friday and Saturday
Hopalong Cassidy rides again in
“ Trail Dust,” the latest in the action-
packed, hard-riding series of Clar­
ence E. Mulford Westerns, which ar­
rives with a fanfare of six-guns and
the clatter of galloping hoofs at the
Roosevelt theatre tonight for a two-
day run.
Action and plenty of it—marks
this film as top-notch. “ Hoppie’s”
attempt to “ beat” a drought, and the
efforts of crooked cattle buyers to
cash in on it give it a particularly
“ newsy” twist.
William Boyd, as “ Hoppie,” rides
the range again as head of a group
of cowmen who are determined to
get their cattle over parched range
country to the railroad in a desperate
effort to lift the threat of a famine
which hangs over the southwest.
With him are Jimmy Ellison, again
as Johnny Nelson, and George Hayes
as “ Windy.”
Sinister forces, intent upon keep­
ing Boyd from reaching his destina­
tion, which would ruin their plans to
cash in on the drought, go into ac­
tion. Crooked riders are planted in
his outfit, an attempt is made to ar­
rest him with a false warrant, efforts
are made to stampede his herd and,
in final desperation, a mountain pass
through which the herd must pass is
mined.
But in the characteristic manner,
One farmer was killed and 30 in­
jured in a battle between beetroot
growers and sugar factory workers
on strike at Toury, France.
Cassidy brings the cattle through, but
not without »considerable gunplay,
hard fighting and hard riding. A
romance between Ellison and.pretty
Gwynne Shipman, who rides with
Boyd’s outfit and is instruinentai in
saving the herd just as it looks as ir
the expedition had set out in vain,
is deftly worked into the story.
