SHIRLEY LEARNS~~CHINESE
For her unusual role in her most
remarkable picture, Shirley. Temple
bad to learn some four hundred
words of real Chinese, lending not
only authenticity but extraordinary
entertainment to the Twentieth Century-Fox film, "Stowaway," coming
to the State theatre on March 29
and 80.
Shirley had two hundred and fifty fellow students studying toe language with her. These were the
Chinese "extras" in the film, all of
whom spoke dialects other than the
one the Chinese government is endeavoring to make the official
tongue of China.
Cast in the role of toe daughter
of American missionaries in China,
orphaned by a bandit raid, Shrley
somehow gets to Shanghai, where
she meets Robert Young, a rich
young playboy, who loses his heart
to her.
The manner in which Shirley fin*
ally helps her handsome benefactor
win the hand of Alice Faye, who
was promised to another, provides
outstanding entertainment.

Streams Have Been Heavily Stocked
Laat  Fall aad  Spring
With approach of April 18* opening day for trout fishing to Pennsylvania, thousands of enthusiastic disciples ef Isaak Walton are checking
ever tackle and preparing for what
they believe will be a fine trout season.
In preparation for toe opening,
the Fish Commission's fleet of 44
trucks are carrying from the hatcheries one' of the finest crops ox
brook trout, brown trout, and rainbow trout to be produced in recent'
yean. Interested sportsmen, meet-
tog the trucks, are assisting in toe
stocking of the fish. ,
Bell Run, Tipton Run and many
of the other small Streams ia this
pert of Blair-county were heavily
stocked with brown aad brook trout
from the Reynoldsville hatchery last
fall and during the present month..
Only this Week a large consignment
aat trout ranging in length from rax
tc twelve inches were placed in one
of the nearby streams. By the time
the legal season arrives for taking
the fish, they will have become well
acclimated to their surroundings
and as toe season advances, the
f irhermen ia these parts are looking
fwreSid to some real sport.
The streams to the southern part
of the county are a favorite place
for the sportsmen and throughout
the season are whipped daily. These
streams .have a constant flow erf
pure mountain water and from the
springs the year round. Many Blair
county fishermen find much pleasure rgBgHng in toe streams in Can-
|rto county, f'tprtog creek being toe
jBfcHjn *Po*fc»jiS "This >to a large
itrea**a and fishing is good for sev-
'l*lfci&)*&*aammii-mA' batiks.      The
■Si fa on
spot snd WWSiS' et the^'stream"BBS"
'been set aside for ase of toe fishermen. Each sportsman Is permitted
to make five ■ trips to the Paradise
during the season.
'•Trout fishing is not what fishing used to be," quoth an ardent
sportsman of tha borough, who has
now reached his seventy-fifth year
of his pilgrimage through life. The
plan of the Paradise is ideal and
more streams With a heavy flow of
water the year round should be set
aside for the sportsmen. In some
parts members of local sportsmen
associations have erected small dams
snd "hideouts" in the streams, whieh
prove an excellent place fer the
fish to seek shelter in case they are
pursued by their natural enemies.
These dams have received the hearty commendation of all fishermen
and aa this means waa only recently
employed it is likely that they will
"be continued in. most all streams of
any size.
Under existing laws fifteen trout
is toe day's limit for one'fisherman
to take from the waters of the
state. It is a commonsense law and
proves a stop-gap for the "hog"
fisherman. While toe limit is obtained, it is the exception instead of
the rule. Today there are thousands of anglers enjoying the sport
during the summer season, where
thirty years ago not so many indulged in fishing for trout. Wish
the prospects of the nasty amendment to the aet permitting Sunday
fishing likely to pass aad become
the law of the land, there is every
reason to believe that the trout
streams will he further depleted.
MORE  COMFORT  AT  STATE
Patrons of the State Theatre will
be delighted to know that the management* -with the comfort of toe
public in mind, haa made another
improvement. They wish. to announce that they have purchased a
new screen, which has been arranged so that it sets back about twelve
feet further than its original position. This now enables one to enjoy the picture from any seat in the
house. Previously the front and
side-front seats wars undesirable
due to the closeness of the screen.
However, this haa been overcome
and the management feels that there
will be no further dissatisfaction
when only front seats are available.
