FLY FOUND NEW ORLEANS Mediterranean Pest Located In Fruit Shipped Bulk From Florida , NEW ORLEANS. May 7—The topic of conversation along the Streets this week was the mediter ranean fruit fly following the dis covery Tuesday of a car of Florida bulk oranges and grapefruit affected by the fly. The car was inspected by the State Department of Agricul ture Tuesday morning and ordered sealed until disposition was made. Harry D. Wilson, state commissioner of Agriculture, was on his way to Washington when the discovery was made, but was reached Tuesday eve ning and he immediately ordered W. E. Anderson, state entomologist, to New Orleans to take charge of the situation and to see that the fruit was burned. It was at first thought the car would be sent back to Flor ida. although the local receiver said the shipper was endeavoring to di vert the car north. The state com missioner indicated, however, that the car would be destroyed here. The thing that has set local inter ests worrying is the fact that the carload was partly unloaded, sold and already gone Into consuming channels before the discovery was made. Efforts were being made to get as much of the fruit back as possible The shipment originated at Clare mont. Fla., was shipped on April 17 and arrived here April 24. consigned to the Mallard Distributing Com pany. The state quarantine went Into effect April 23 and it was point ed out that the carriers neglected to report the arrival of this car to the department of Agriculture with the result that It was only Tuesday the state Inspector accidentally came across the car. at which time it was partly unloaded and sold. The department of agriculture contends the carriers should have notified them April 23. when the embargo was placed, of all cars of Florida products destined to points in Louisiana An uni^ual effort is being made to keep all Florida fruits from the j citrus belt in Louisiana just below New Orleans, and it is believed the roads will be watched closely with a view of keeping out all peddlers. It' was said Tuesday along the streets; that Florida watermelons and green tomatoes would be permitted to en- ! ter Louisiana, one firm declaring they had a car of melons due the j latter part of the week. However. Mr. Wilson. State Commissioner of Agriculture, said that no modifies- t tion has been made to the embargo \ and that Monday the state refused to permit a car of melons to come Into Louisiana. The Louisiana quar antine covers all fruits and vege tables from the entire state of Flor ida CUBA WATCHING FLORIDA PEST WAR HAVANA. Cuba. May 3.—Cuban fruit and vegetable growers and shippers are anxiously watching the fight being carried on against the Mediterranean £uit fly in Florida, and customs inspectors have been instructed to confiscate all fruit brought here by passengers arriving from Florida ports. All fruit brought over by the passengers on the Steamship Cuba which arrived here Monday from Florida ports was con fiscated on arrival of the boat at the P. Sz O. docks here, and the same procedure will continue as long as there is danger of the fly being brought into Cuba. Should the fly become more dangerous in Florida It is thought that the Cuban author ities will place an absolute quaran tine against all fruits and vegetables moving from Florida into this coun try until such time as there will be no danger of the fly being brought here.

Harlingen. flmnt SIDELIGHTS I AT TEXAS Ever since Edmund Low’e gave his notable interpretation of the tough, but lovable Sergeant Quirt in “What Price Glory.” he has been in great demand as a crook, near villain and husky, he-man "heavy.” but now Edmund Lowe has re formed. cinematically speaking, of course. His latest role is that of an upright, respectable young man opposite Corinne Griffith in “Out cast.” * a First National picture, which will be the chief attraction at the Texas theater today and to morrow. “It is quite refreshing," Mr. Lowe declares, “to be cast in a sympa thetic part for a chans.’. However. I’m not sure I would want straight leading men roles as a .teady thing. I'll admit there Is a thrill In play ing a crook or any kind of bad man. even if you have no such inhibitions in real life " “Outcast." directed by William A. Setter, is a story of San Francisco in which Miss Griffith plays an un usually dramatic role. This is the I ftrst time Edmund Lowe has played her leading man and the combina tion should be a particularly‘happy one. The cast also includes Lou ise Fazenda. Huntley Gordon. Kath ryn Carver and James Ford. AT THE QUEEN It is not often that childhood ambitions of two persons material ize. and still less often that they are experienced by two young film folks. James Ford and Thelma Todd, leading man and leading woman in “The House of Horror." which is playing tomorrow’ at the queen, were schoolmates and boy-and-girl sweet hearts in Lawrence, Mass. They both declared that they were going some day, to become film palyers. And they promised that they would play opposite each otlur in roman tic roles. Ford is now’ on contract to First National-Vitaphone pictures, pro ducers of “The House of Horror.” Miss Todd has done many leading roles with the same organization. In the mystery special, for the first time, the two were given lovers' roles opposite each other. Louise Fazenda and Chester Conklin head the cast of the eerie thriller. William V. Mong. Emile Chautard. William Orlamond. Dale Fuller and half-a-dozen other em inent character artists enact other “creepy" or comic roles. Benjamin Christensen directed the picture. AT THE CAPITOL No more ideal play for the animat ed talents of Miss Clara Bow has ever been chosen than her latest ve hicle. “The Wild Party.” which is now playing at the Capitol. “The Wild Party” is a vivacious, fast-moving, all-talking production based on the story by Warner Fa bian. famous author of popular nov els of the jazz age. There are several real wild parties in the play, and their watchword seems to be. When better whoopee is made. Clara will make it." Girls who are known throughout filmdom for their “IV qualitioa take part in the production. Dorothy Arzner. director of the picture, spent considerable time selecting the de sired types of whoopee-making pep sisters to fill the roles of members of Clar’s "gang” in the play. PALACE. Mo ALLEN "Wolf Song." a new Paramount sound presentation which is now playing at the Palae® theater, might truthfully be called a fascinating mu sical love drama. For. in a certain sense, the manner in which this pic ture has been handled, brings to mind the well-known musical shows. "The Dessert Song” and "The Vag abond King ” Like these stage suc cesses. "Wolf Sone". tells of a ro mance. gav. colorful, tempestuous: interpreted throughout by the sing ing of manv delightful love sangs. These tuneful melodies are sung bv th® beautiful Mexican actress.

SAN BENITO The circle of persons privileged to hear and enjoy Ramon Novarro's j tenor voice will be increased a thou sandfold with “The Pagan,” new j Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film, now I showing at the Rivoli theater. San Benito, in which Novarro sings for | the general public for the fhst tune. One of the chief spare-time in terests of Novarro is his “teatro tn time” or little playhouse, built as a part of his home in Beverly Hills. Close friends of the young Mexi can actor, who is one of the most reticent of the players on the west i coast, know that he spends a large [share of his evenings either at the opera or in his home theater. The laiVr, while its extremely intimate auditorium seats only 65 persons, is as completely equipped in propor tion to its size as a big amusement house. Resembling the other parts of his home in its Spanish type of architecture, the theater was con structed about two years ago under the personal supervision of the film star. It is a wcll-know'n fact that No varro has a rich tenor voice of great promise. He has pursued his vocal studies during recent years under some of the foremost teachers in the country, and now has plans for a concert tour in addition to grand opera. In his private theater, how ever. he confines himself to a ren dition of ballads and songs for a small, select circle of friends, and to occasional co-operative dramatic performances or film previews Battles under water with sharks sensational fights in a jungle wil h?™*8®: ®nd otl\er tropic thrills, blend with an island love romance Ramon Novarro's new screen arama.
