Norma Shcarcr offers another of Jzcr magnetic and fascinating per- iormanccs as a modern woman with ultra-modern ideals in "Riptidc,“ hcr ricivcst plintoplay which opcucd ycsteniay at tltc Prince Edward ‘Ihcizliie. Lavlslily produced. bril- liantly cnactcd by its slur and an impressive supporting cast, the new Shearer vchlclc stands out as one of the fiiicst productions to comc from the Metro-Golthvyii-Mayr-i" studios and provldcs till cntcrtuuimcui of (Lstiuctioii iii cvcry" jiiiiisc of motion picture ai-iisiry.

Norma At Her Bcsl

As Lady Rcxford, in this dnrlngly triangular Continental romance, Ivfiss Shearer is rcgally superb. Nev- er has shc appeared so beautilullyi photographed or handsomely cos- tumed. Her performance is nothing less than magnificent, even more superb than her "Divorrccf winch won her the Academy of Motion Pic- ture Arts and Sciences award in .1929.

With the customary flair attached to a Shearer film the star is provid- ed with not one leading man but two. Robert Montgomery enacts the play-boy friend mid Hcrbcrt M81‘- shnll is seen as tho more sober- mindcd husband. Each delivers a superb performance.

Mrs. Patrick Campbell, riotccl British actress, heads the impres- sive supporting cast as the eccentric dowagci‘.

cure the adjournment of the House at six o'clock? The concert was to be given on Wednesday evening. which ln those days was no; a free night for parliamentarians. a5 it is today. However. Wednesday is pri- vnte members’ day and I saw a chance of success if my plan work- ed out all right. I went to Sir John Macdonald. told him the predicament the So- ciety was in. that we would lose money if the House did not adjourn, and begged him to help us. The Old gentleman laughed. and re- marked. "Well. it ls a somewhat unusual request. However, go and fix it with Laurier. It is private members‘ day, and if he does not object I will meet your wishes." ‘There was nothing, therefore. left for me than to sec the Leader of fthe Opposition. Although I had been in the Press Gallery for a. few years I had never spoken to Mr. Laurier beyond wishing him good- morning, when I met him in the lobby. Casting around. I decided to invoke the assistance of my friend,

from him. yet I gathered that he would not object to the adjoum- merit at six o'clock. From the Sal- lery I saw Sir John read a note and put it under a. clip on his desk. Then he locked up at me and nodded‘. Luckily the day's Order Paper was pretty well cleared ll)‘ by a quarter to six. For the previous hour some unimportant topic had been under discussion and I was getting a little nervous. However it was disposed of by the time in- dicated. The Prime Minister rose and said that as there was not much business on the Order Paper tn warrant an evening sitting, the House might as well adjourn par- ticularly as many members. he un- derstood, desired to attend an im- portant function in the city that evening. He locked over at Mr Laurier, who smllirigly nodded his acquisccncc, and the House adjourn- ed. It remains for me only to say that the st. George's society cori- cert was a big financial success. I have often thought or the episode. and of the kindly action of the two great leaders. Perhaps the reader ivlll say that it was a nervy thing on my part. and today I would hesitate a long time before prefer- ring such a request. But "In the lexicon of youth there is no such word as—fail."

Below will be found a brief syri- opsis of telegraphic reports receiv- ed at the Head Office of the Bank of Montreal from its Branches. The Branch Managers have complete and intimate knowledge of each 1o- cal situation and are in close touch with crop conditions in all sections of the districts mentioned.

GENERAL

In the Prairie Proinces scattered showers during the pas; weck have afforded some relief. but all crops have suffered further deterioration from the continued drought. par- ticularly in the southern half of Saskatchewan. southern Mhnritoba and the east central areas of Alber- i-O. Grains are ripening rapidly and cutting has commenced in southern districts. In Quebec. while the soil has been drying rapidly. light rain- falls early in the week were bene- flcial. Crops generally arc in a fairly satisfactory condition. In Ontario. the weather of the past week has been quite warm and

have been of benefit. more moist- ure is urgently required in most io- calities, particularly in the south- western section oi the province where protracted drought i5 occas- ioning concern. In the Maritime Provinces rainfall has been gener- al. with beneficial effect.

Mani- t0ba—G0od crops are indicated in the Swan River Valley. Winnipeg and Portage la Prairie areas. Else- where detcrioration is more mark- ed and a large area in the south- west will show total crop failure. Wheat, particularly 0n summerfal- low land. has withstood the drought and heat better than coarse grains which generally are poor and of which a considerable acreage is be- ing cut for feed. y
