AAA 750,711,000 GILBERT GARBO'S LATEST FILM, "QUEEN CHRISTINA;" OTHER SCREEN NOTES BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Staff Correspondent Hollywood, Jan.

since 1929 has the outlook in the motion picture business been as bright as it Is this year. And the credit, or at least a large portion of it, goes to our men responsible for making the pictures. Judging from numerous pictures about to be released, the film moguls haven't waited for the industry to pick up as a result of generally improved conditions. Money is in circulation again and they're going after it by putting some really entertaining films on the market. Greta Garbo's new production, "Queen Christina," approaches the point of being sensational.

It brings the Swedish star back to tiie screen in all her glory, after an absence of more than a year. "Queen Christina" also will take care of John Gilbert's future. Again a romantic figure, Gilbert rises to the heights which once were his alone. Introducing Francis Lederer "Man of Two Worlds," the film which introduces Francis Lederer to the film-going public, Is another strip at celluloid carrying some real entertainment on it, Lederer, already an established success in Europe and on Broadway, makes a strong bid for public acclaim in this picture. No doubt he will get plenty of response.

Still another good bet is Lilian Harvey's latest film, "I Am Suznne." This is the picture in which the Pic- coll marionettes and the Yale puppeteers were used, and it is these little wooden dolls on strings which make the film an outstanding attraction. They are positively remarkable and are stopped by no act which a human being could perform. Glsh Conies Back Lillian GLsh Is back on the screen again, should be good news to those Glsh fans of yester- dy. Besides, she is very probably will be a surprise to a great many persons. But it's Roland Young who makes the picture.

"His Double Life," a highly amusing bit of entertainment. All these films set a pretty high standard. However, if it Is the I standard at which our producers intend to aim during the coming 12 months, there need be no worries about the future of the motion picture industry. TO DOUBLE CAPACITY OF STATE GAME FARMS AND FISH HATCHERIES Labor For Purpose Will Be Supplied Throngh Civil Works Administration Springfield, 111., Jan. of state fish hatcheries and game farms are being doubled throughout the state, according to an announcement here today by Director C.

F. Thompson of the state department of conservation. Labor for the improvement program is being supplied the state through the civil works administration in Illinois, according to Thompson. At the fish hatcheries all ponds are being rip-rapped and hatching facilities improved and enlarged. In preparation for increasing the output of the game farms, new stocks of pheasants and quails have been purchased, and additional brooders are to be installed.

This year all quail will be Incubated at the game form at the state fair grounds, while pheasants will be propagated at Yorkvllle and Mt. Vernon. Pen facilities at each of the three game farms are to be Increased materially to enable the department to hold the birds until after the hunt- Ing season. Theretofore because of the lack of sufficient pens, it has released quails and pheasants prior to the hunting season. In 1933 the department released 4,080, quail and 10,842 pheasants.

Millions of fingerlings and fry were released from the state fish hatcheries. Operating expenses of the department, the director said, were 26 per cent less than in 1932, although departmental activities were increased and new equipment costing several thousands of dollars, was purchased for the state game and fish hatch- cries. here, is ns accurate in detail as it could be made, even to the leaning.

Towering 94 feet in height, the structure leans out ol tliu perpendicular seven feet and four indies, an effect achieved by copying one device used by the original builders to cause the list. This was the use of columns of varying height on the seventh and eighth floor levels. Thirty-two tons of reinforcing steel were used in the replica which is 28 feet in hi meter at the bottom. The original Is of wliite marble and veruca stone while the reproduction contains 1,200 tons of concrete with columns mnde of precast stone.

DEMAND FOR PETITIONS AT OFFICE OF SECRETARY OF 1 STATE BREAKS RECORD BATTLES IN NEXTSPRINB'S PRIMARIESWILL BE LIVELY One Ron-son for Great Number of Candidates Is That Pemoernts Are More Hopeful BY SCHUPPR United Press Staff Correspondent Springfield, 111., Jan. free for nil battle for congressional and legislative nominations In Illinois nt the April primary Is anticipated by state officials us result of a heavy demand for petitions by candidates for those offices throughout the state It was learned here today.

According to Lewis P. Vogel, head of the election bureau of Secretary of State Edward J. Hughes' office, more than 50,000 petitions have been issued for congress and the legislature. As yet there has been no demand for petitions by candidates reeking party nomination for state treasurer and state superintendent of public instruction. Divided over "New Deal" Differences of opinion ovcr the public's reception to the "new deal" of the Democratic administration is believed responsible for the unprecedented interest being shown in the coming nice for the congressional and legislative posts, Vogel said the demand for so many petitions Indicate n.

record number of candidates in the primary election. A total of 27 congressional pasts nnd 180 seats In the general assembly will bc nt stake In this year's election. Of the scats to be filled in the legislature 153 are In the house of representatives while the remainder are in the senate. Democrats arc expected to nominate more candidates from each legislative district than ever before, because they believe that opportunity for success of their candidates is renter than nt any other time due to the activities of the stale and federal recovery programs. Republicans Keep Courage Up Republicans however, do not appear depressed by the optimism of the Democrats the number of them applying for nominating petitions showing an Increase over two years ago at this time.

First day for filing petitions of candidacy Is February 3, and the last date is February 19. The primary will be held on April 10.

Senatorial committees out the state are expected to determine soon thr number of candidates each party will nominate for the legislative posts.

Tho committee reports must bo filed thirty five days prior to the primary. Republicans have set election of the state treasurer, the superintendent of public instruction and control of the house of the general assembly and a majority of the state's congressmen as their goal. Only 3-Vote Mnrffln In House Tho Democratic majority In the house at the present time Is a margin of three votes and Republicans believe they can wrest control of the lower branch of the assembly at, the coming election. Present membership of the house is 70 Democrats and 72 Republicans. Representative Richard Lyons (Rep.

Mundolln) Is an avowed candidate for speaker of the house In the event Republicans gain control. Me believes the Republicans have a Rood chance to elect two state officers and control the congressional delegation as well as the house of representatives. If former Secretary of State William J. Stratton Is elected state treasurer, Lyons expects him to pull through enough Republican candid- dates for slate representative to win control of the lower house of the state legislature. This, he contends, will make Stratton a dominating factor In choosing the next speaker of the houso and thus Increase the prospects of his (Lyons) being selected.

The Mundeloin legislator was spokesman for Stratton during the years the latter held the office o( Secretary of State and It Is believed other Republicans In the house will follow the dictates of the former secretary on the speakcrshlp In the event he is elected state treasurer. PROHIBITION BEARD WILL REMAIN WITH CALIFORNIAN Oerber, Jnn. long beard which Al Prcusser grew in protest to the 18th amendment must remain despite repeal and Preusser's Joy that prohibition has ended In California. Preusser Is afraid to remove the beard. He might catch a bad cold.

Anyway, he can't take a drink without violating his doctor's orders. Tho familiar, whisker covered face made its appearance after repeal, much to the amazement of everybody who expected to see Preusser's chin for the first time In 13 years.

While Prcusscr's whiskers grew to a length of 16 Inches, his scalp lost much of Its adornment.
