Dreams of';'a land flowing with,-
milk and honey are partially real-
ized by Electra folks 'at the pres-
’ent time, and if honey is lacking
we need' not notice it while watch-
ing the huge buckets, baskets and
crates of eggs being brought in and
sold for little more than wa song.
Both milk and eggs are wholesome
products and if there,-.was . ever a
time wlien Electra people should
have abundance of both of thefr
tables it is now. There was never
a time, either;-when, it was more im-.

be insisted upon by the local house-

desserts with whipped cream. If
____1c every family in Electra would con-
30e, trive to use an extra dozen eggs on
10c the grocery- bill and would add mere
milk and cream “produced by Electra
~~ cows” to their daily rations, it would
help stabilize the market just Mthat
much. Every Electra farmer who
has eggs to sell, can help by keep-

" Visual impressions, the ap’peal to
the eye, tend to fix an idea with
greater success than q verbal ex-
planation. For ’this season, studio
executives in" recent years have, paid
more attention to obtaining extreme-
ly true backgrounds and atmospher-
ic surroundings for their pictures.
They realize to what rextent realistic
settings lend an atmosphere of ac-
curacy and trueness-to motion .pic-
tures. They saw how it helped
tablish their locale, and in a
the motivating force behind
of the film’s action.
A striking example of this ten-
dency is illustrated in “Madonna of
the Streets” the Columbia produc-
tion .coming to the Liberty Theatre
on May G and 7. The picture is an
adaption of “The Ragged Messen-
ger” by W. B. Maxwell. The story,
much of which is laid in the Bar-
bary coast and ,along San Francis-
co's waterfront, is abetted and
hanced by the accurate
which the
prox ided for this picture.
The opening shot of the dismal
waterfront section is particularly im-
pressive. It is a rainy, foggy night.
Wretched figures passing along the
damp streets are vaguely outlined in
the fog. Street lights are reflected
on the wet sidewalk. A starved cur
i-neak> by in the eerie light of the
dim-lit , lamps. Poverty, want, ugli-
ness, all are established in this one
tremendously effective shot.
Evelyn Brent, sterling trouper who
has starred in a score of outstanding
underworld films, has the stellar
lead in this story. She is supported
by a superior cast of players, in-’
eluding Robert Ames, seen here r&-.
cently opposite Ann Harding in
“Holliday,” Josephine Dunn and I-
van Li now.
John S. Robertson, who directed
“Madonna of the Streets,” is one of
the veteran directors -of the indus-
try. He numbers among his suc-
cessful films, “The Road to Ro-
mance,” “Annie Laurie,” “The Sing-
le Standard,” “Captain
and “Shanghai Lady.’
