Among the victora up to now, are Ken Inukai, son of the Pre- sident of the Seiyukai who-is-run- ning for the first time; and Pro- fessor Ikuo Oyama, leader of the left wing Proletarians, who was unsuccessful last time.
CINEMA NOTES.
"MASQUERADE" AT THE
QUEEN'S TO-MORROW,
At last a true-to-life newspaper sequence has best ilmed. Rus- sell J. Birdwell, who left a newa- paper office to become a Fox Movietone director, accomplishes tho feat in "Masquerade," latest all-talking picture opening "to-| morrow at the Queen's from the William Fox Studios.
"During the many years I worked on newspapers it always irked me to see so-called news- plays and films," Birdwell is said to have remarked, "because they were so generally untrue to life, Even in the best of them, some error crept in that would instantly be spotted by members of the newspaper. profession. When 1 read the script on Masquerade' and discovered a short news- paper reporters' room sequence, cracked my heels and made up my mind to do it right."
To be absolutely certain he wasn't overlooking any little.. points, Birdwell called in a num- ber of old-time newspaper friends to critfelse the scene. All agreed it was perfect, an admission seldom" made by reporters about anything.
"Masquerade," however, is not a newspaper play. It is an adapta- tion of the famous novel, "The Brass Bowl," by Louis J. Vance, and is
comedy drama in which Alan Birmingham plays the first dual role ever enacted in talking pictures.

The Very Idea! POWELLS
The prediction that cellulose, the raw material of paper, artificial allk explosives, etc., may shortly be ob tained from air was made by Dr. Herbert Levenstein, president of the Society of the Chemical Indus- try, in a lecture at the Institute of Civil Engineers, in London. He said that research had shown that sugar and cellulose came from the same foundation. Sugar had al- ready been prepared synthetically from air and soon rowsprint might bo obtained similarly.
