OYSTER BEDS
ARE STOCKED
Fre»h Water Floods Des
troy Fields In Ala
bama , ?*
WASHINGTON. June 6.—<*)—
Destroyed by the fresh water of
swollen rivers, oyster beds of Mo
bile Bay. Ala., may not be expected
to yield until 1931. even with im
mediate restocking, according to
scientists of the bureau of fisheries.
A survey of the beds by Dr. P. S.
Galtsoff and Dr. R. H. Luce dis
closes that there remains less than 6
per cent of the oysters on the prin
cipal reefs in and around the bay.
covering 2.500 acres.
Record-breaking rains, raising
rivers to the highest levels in 58
years, filled the bay with fresh wa
ter. Oysters, to survive, aiust be in
water containing from one to two
and one-half per cent of salt.
The scientists, following their
survey, recommended that 250,000
barrels of shells and oysters are
needed to reseed the beds and re
store them to commercial value.
An emergency measure, appro
priating $50,000 for restocking the
devastated reefs, is pending before
congress awaiting action in the
present session.
Spawning grounds would be es
tablished on the public bottoms
along the Alabama coast, although
Dr. Galtsoff believes that there is
little hope for obtaining a good set
this year.
“Small seed oysters may be se
cured in Dauphin bay,” he said,
"and spawning grounds may easily
be established by putting down
adult oysters and enough shells for
the spawn to catch on.
"The season is too far advanced
now, though, and the heat will be
too great to expect any spawning in
August. The entire success of the
restoration of the industry in the
state depends on how long the oys
ters take to adapt themselves to the
new grounds.
"The adaptation usually takes a
year or more and the best hope we:
have is that the ground will be re
stored for commercial exploitation
by 1981.
“We have little reason to believe i
that the flooded condition of the
rivers will be repeated.”
Destruction of the oyster resources
has removed the only means of live
lihood from more than 3,000 people.
The beds last year produced 1.200.000
pounds of the bivalve.
Curlews Soon To
Fly From Hawaii
To Alaska Shores
WASHINGTON, June 6.—(A*)—
The original trans-Pacific flyers,
bristle-thighed curlews, soon will be
on the wing from Hawaiian winter
quarters for another summer in
northern Alaska. The birds have
been seen to arrive in the north in
the latter part of May, summering
there until mid-August. Then they
start southward over the ocean to
Hawaii.
Science has yet to study the birds,
for little is known about them de
spite the fact that they were dis
covered more than 140 years ago.
Ornithologists do know that the
good reputation of the bird as a
flier is not followed by an equally
meritorious life on land.
Organized banditry is practiced
by the curlews, working in troupes
in scouring nesting grounds for eggs
of other birds.
‘SINGING FOOL’AT CAPITOL
Scene from ~7?rt Smtynf foot 'stirring JUdotscn, v? Warner Bros ProoUiC C/o/ul j
h MOWER
SIDCUCHlSfi
AT THE CAPITOL
A1 Jolson, Broadways famous
song-bird, and recently the star of
that famous hit, “The Jazz Singer."
comes to the Capitol theater on
Friday in "The Singing Fool.” in
which this popular entertainer
speaks from the screen and sings
many songs that will win their way
into your heart. For »n "I he Sing
ing Fool.” Jolson is superb. His
magnetic personality that lias won
for him an outstanding reputation
behind the footlights, is as vital as
ever on the screen. And it can be
added, too. that his voice is heard
as clearly and as distinctly through
the Vitaphone as if he were actually
singing on the stage. The entire
production has been expertly han
dled and in me orinion of all New
i York critics who were present at the
i premier in New York, "The Singing
, Fool.” is a distinct triumph for A1
Jolson and Vitaphone.
Supporting Mr. Jolson are Jo
sephine Dunn and Betty Bronson
who play the leading feminize roles.
Both give finely interpreted char
acter portrayals and are the pos
sessorse of clear, well-modulated
I voices, that enhance the dramatic
value of their perfotmances. Play
ing a smaller role, but perhaps as
vital as any, is Davey Lee, three
vear old screen prodigy, who is cast
as Jolson‘s baby boy. Davey is also
heard to speak his lines and his
' natural, unaffected soft tones, are
so well done as to cause reviewers
to become wildly enthusiastic.
Jolson sings many tongs during
the course of the picture. Some of
them are old time favorites which
he renders with his usual anima
I tion. Among the songs most of us
■ know’ so well but never tire of hear
ing Jolson sing are: ‘Tia Sitting on
Top of the World.” ‘ Trouble's a
Bubble.” “It All Depends On You.”
and "Golden Gate.” And there is
the theme song of the picture tailed
Sonny Boy.” a haunting ballad
which has become the son? hit of
the vear. And if you're human, ar.d
if Jolson steals his way into your
heart, as he is sure to do, you'll
smile through a tear or two.
Betty Colfax of the New York
Evening Graphic, wrote of ‘The
; Singing Fool." "This picture, at
last, is justification for the talkies,
an effective and impressive demon
stration of what an outstanding
, voice and a great personality,
'combined with the acting ability
that Jolson consistently exhibited
through every reel, can do for the
synchronized pictures."
AT TEXAS
It starts with a runaway and ends
with the explosion of 20 tons of dy
namite!
That ought to give an indication
of the tempo of "The Good-Bye
Kiss.” Mack Sennett s great, feature
of love and laughter which starts
todav at the Texas theater.
First National released this amaz
ing production in w’hich Johnny
Burke. Sally Eilers. Mattv Kemp.
Alma Bennett and many other fea
tured artists appear.
RIVOLI, SAN BENITO
Melancholy winds: w’eird. sepul
ichral voices: mysterious footsteps;
the barking of a dog and hysterical
screams of two negro honeymooners
are sounds which help to establish a
‘ creepy" atmosphere in the haunt
ed house sequence of “The Ghost
Talks” a Fox Movietone special at
the Rivoli theater, San Benito, now.
Stepin Fctchit and Baby Mack,1
the dusky bridegroom and bride,
hold the spotlight in the particularly
comic action having to do with the
ghost. Both are exceptional troup
ers with the innate sense of humor
typical of their race.
So you is a whose, is you?” says
Stepin. “Well, right hcah Ise goin'
to cahve myself some ghose meat."
The picture is all-talking and de
signed for laughing purposes only.
Lew Seiler directed the production,
with the youthful New York stage
favorites, Charles Eaton and Helen
Twelvetrees. in the leading roles.
Others i»i the cast include Earle
Foxe. Carmel Myers. Henry Sedley.
Joe Brown. Clifford Dempsey, Ar
nold Lucy and Mickey Bennett.

PALACE, McALLEN
In no other picture has there been
so convincing a demonstration of
the possibilities of the Vitaphone as
in “The Desert Song." which la now
at the Palace Theater. McAllen, and
which will go down in screen history
as the first musical play to be trans
ferred In its entirety to the motion
picture screen.
Other “all-talking” picture? had
already been made by Warner
Brothers, and also many which in
cluded singing, but when they un
dertook the production of “The
Desert Song” they were confronted
with a new problem—the inclusion
of a large chorus for the ensemble
numbers, with Its members grouped
all over the settings which consti
tuted the scenes of the play.
How well they met this situation
is indicated by the fact that the
chorus consists of one hundred men
and women, and that they bring to
the screen's first operetta the most
glorious ensemble work ever heard
in America.
Many of the singers were soloists
who had never before worked in
chorus, or who had graduated from
that estate into principal parts, f nd
that the ensemble of "The Desert
Song” might almost be described
as a chorus of principals. Sigmund
Romberg's lilting music u played
bv the Vitaphone Symphony Or
chestra.
The all-star cast includes John
Boles, Carlotta King. Louis* Fa
zenda. Johnny Arthur. Joim Ilujan
Mvrna Loy. Jack Pratt, Mare
Wells. Edward Martindel. IDbert
E. Guzman and many other*, and
was produced under the vilrection
of Rov Del Ruth. Harvey Gates
adapted the book of the operetta to
the screen.
The desert scenes are exception
ally beautiful.
