Movies Taken by E. John ftrandeis in Alaska Shown Screening of Film Reveals Landing of Gigantic Whale and Killing of Bear and Moose. A premier privaie showing of "Rip Us IU Di Through Alaska," a four-* part picture taken by E. John Bran deia in his Alaskan trip, was witness ed by a group of friends of Mr. and Mrs. Brandcis st the Brandcis thea ter yesterday afternoon. The picture, which require* *ome what over an hour in showing, con tains hundreds of feet of scenic pho tography in color, which has a depth and contrast seldom equalled. It also contains several thrills: The landing of a gigantic whale, tiie killing of a moose and a bear, and the landing of a large haul of salmon. Remarkable cloud and sky photography, and the almost constant silhouettes lend to the artistry of the film. Subtitles in rhyme keep one post ed as to just what it's all about. The picture begins in New York, gives views of Chicago, Omaha and Seattle, and carries Mr. and Mrs. Brandeis happily throngh tlielr long voyage and back to their home in Omaha In a rapid fashion, as the phrase, "Rip Do L)i Di" indicates. There is contin uity and a touch of romance In the film. Its next showing will be before the Triangle club at Hotel Fontenelle Tuesday noon.

McCullough, associate editor of The Omaha Bee. told the Concord club in an address at the Hotel Fon tensile at noon yesterday not to be disturbed by the apparent discord of the world today, “The meetings at Lausanne and Paris contain no threat to the peace of the World,” he said. "The politi cians are merely playing the game of politics as they have played it for centuries. “In our own country thero has never been a peace period when there was such general employment at such good wages. Our exports are at a very high figure and our Imports are large. “The farmers of Nebraska and the other agricultural states of the west have come back, partly because of a lowering of interest rates and partly by reason of increased prices for their products.
