Possibly one of the big-

An estimated 500 men were
staking claims furiously in a 17,-
000 acres area near La Ronge
after the release of a set of. new
maps compiled by airborne sur-
veys. The men were after base
metals and uranium.

The maps went on sale at 8
am. mdt at several northern
centres. At La Ronge men began
lining up to buy the maps at
4:30.a:m. and more than 100

hour.
“More than 50 companies
from all provinces and the

United States and at least as
many individuals were involv-

About, 30 planes were operat-

La Ronge with radio messages to

Saskatchewan government at $1

HOLLYWOOD (#—What does it take to achieve a film hit?}.
That's the problem that has always faced Hollywood, and now
more than ever. Many of the producers admit they are baffled

their noses. You just can't tell.”

Take “Spirit of St. Louis” as
an example, Studios had been
after Lindbergh’s story ever
since he flew the Atlantic. Fin-
ally, Lindbergh released the
rights. Warners had enough
faith in it to allow $6,000,000 to
be sunk in production. The pres-
ence of James Stewart was be-
lieved to be box office insurance,
since he is one of the three lead-
ing money earning stars,

It was a fine picture and drew
exccllent reviews. But not enough
business.

Warner Brothers faces a heavy
loss, Pictures are supposed to
earn double their shooting cost
before they can turn a profit,
“Spirit of St. Louis” will fall far
tshort of that. .

Why? we

Second-guesing is Hollywood's
favorite sport,. and “Spirit” has
been debated from here to the
Sunset Strip. Here’s how one
veteran star analyzed it:

“They waited too long to make
the picture. Your biggest mar-
ket today is with the kids. A
guy flying the Atlantic alone in
a little putt-putt makes no im-
pression on them. They know
that jets can cross the’ ocean in}.
a few hours today.” °

Is the answer found in spend«
ing big money on costume epics?
NOT A GUARANTEE |

You might think so, judging

from the record. Among the big-
gest grossers of all time are such
films as “The Robe,” “The 10
Commandments,” “Samson and
Delilah,” “Quo Vadis’ and ‘“Da-
vid and Beth-Sheba.”
But costumes and $5,000,000
budgets are no guarantee of suc-
cess, “Helen of Troy” and “Alex-
ander the Great,” two well-
made, expensive epics, failed to
create a furore with audiences,
Perhaps the answer is in ana-
lyzing the successes. But even
that can be a stumbling block.
One of the biggest hits of 1957
is “Gunfight at O.K. Corral.”
Here is how” one studio head |
commented on it:

“The picture is a collection of
all the cliches in western pic-
tures. The characters — Wyatt

light of day next September,

five-cent stamp illustrating the

industry.

The post office department
announced today that the stamp
printed in black and showing a
miner in full harness at. work on
a rock face with a pneumatic
drill, goes on sale Sept. 5.

Its release is to coincide with
the gathering in Vancouver of
delegates to the sixth Common-
wealth mining and metallurgi-
cal congress, opening. there Sept.
8,

. The stamp is engraved from
a drawing by Toronto artist A.
J, Casson, whose model was a
photograph by Toronto camera
man George Hunter.

It is the first issued by the de-
partment since it has been head-
ed by Postmaster-General Will-
lam Hamilton, who as an oppo-
sition member criticized the de-
‘partment for using modern art
forms in some stamps. The min-
ing issue is strictly pictorial

The Commonwealth  confer-~
ence, which the stamp is to wel-
come, is expected to attract more
than 500 delegates from 70 coun-
tries.

By Musicians

VANCOUVER @—Singer Harry
Belafonte, described by critics
as.a man with the build of a
panther and the voice of a saint,
has musician trouble.

' He ‘angrily ordered 15 top Van-
couver musicians out of the ‘or-
chestra pit Thursday night and
Sang to 6,000 people with a skel-
eton band.

‘He was miffed by the non-
appearance of six of the musi-
cians at an afternoon rehearsal.
Four of them sent substitutes.

First, Belafonte threatened to
" cancel the show. for which $30,-
000 worth of tickets had been
sold. He reconsidered an hour
before show time:

A union spokesman said Bela-
| fonte had been informed the
| musicians, because of prior com-
mitments, would not be available
| for rehearsal,

cigns would have received was

Mrs. Ruhle sniffed disapprov-
ingly. How silly this man talked.
Of course, Mr. Dale is a great
play-stealer on close hands
where he is not sure of his part-
ner. To preserve good partner-
ship morale, he would never
admit that. However, on this
deal he knew as well as Mrs.
Rule did that he had overbid a

He also knew that his cur-
rent partner could handle the
average contract well enough

but might fall down if the
contract were exceptionally
tough.

then, he was trying to get to
play the hand, if the auction
ended up in game. at no trump.
As you see, he was successful.
The four of hearts was led and
he let it run to the queen. Now
the routine play at no trump is
to go after your longest suit
first. But this was an excep-
tional case. At trick two Mr.
Dale madde the right play of a
small diamond instead of start-
ing the clubs. Mrs. Keen duck-
ed and dummy’s jack won. This
was ali the tricks Mr. Dale need-
ed in diamonds and he prompt-
ly shifted to clubs.

nine tricks with four clubs, two
hearts, two spades and a dia-

It yas easy enough to go wrong

clubs at trick two, you would be

fully against the queen. But if
you mis-guessed the finesse, your
last heart stopper would un-
doubtedly be knocked out while
Mrs. Keen still had the ace of
diamonds. The way Mr. Dale
played it, no defense would beat
him. If Mrs. Keen had taken the
ace of diamonds at'trick two and
led a high heart, he would have
ducked in dummy. Then he
would have won the next heart
and taken a club finesse toward
