LESS LOVE, MORE WAR
FOR FILMS OF 1927
HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Jan. 15. (/P)—
Love clinches for the final fade-out
will be fewer in this year’s crop of
motion picture films.
What’s more, the sheiks and
shebas are going to have a hard
tussle to hold their place through
the season, while the comedy crowd
works at premium figures and war
and costume pictures are given the
right of way.
That is how John McCormick, west
coast productive chief, lines up the
program at First National studios.
Natural endings, he says, are the
new rule.
‘•Perhaps the year’s generous im
portations of foreign-made pictures
had something to do with it,” Mr.
Raw furs bought at Brown
& Hawkins
McCormick explains. "Europeans
have been accustomed to logical de
velopment—whether happy or tragic,
in their literature for hundreds of
years and naturally demand it on the
screen. Americans, however, like the
lighter, less natural, trend for stories,
but now they are getting the Old
World idea: It means more natural
pictures for this year.
SHE MANAGES THOROUGHBREDS
LEXINGTON, Ky., Jan. 15. (/P)—
While there is always a following of
women at the races, few are the
feminine managers of breeding farms
or purchasers of thoroughbreds-but
Miss Elizabeth Dangerfield does both.
Miss Dangerfield has just purchased
three daughters of Man-O-War from
S. D. Riddle for Messers. Carstairs
and Pierce, in addition to making
other purchases of thoroughbreds for
them.

WINTER TEMPERATURES
STEADILY MOUNTING
John Nelson, section foreman at
Devide, who was a brief visitor in
the city ovornight, reports winter
conditions on his section have never
been better and that in his opihion
it has been the mildest and most
open winter that region has ever
experienced. But two feet of snow
covers the section at the present
time. In years past snow to the depth
of nine or ten feet was a common
sight. He agrees with the majority
of the oldtimers that the climate of
Alaska is changing for the best the
temperatures apparantly mounting
each winter. “Soon”, he remarked
this morning, “we will have Florida
weather and the land of the so-called
iceberg and snow will be gone for
ever.”
