WHEAT OPTIONS DOWN ON WEAK CABLE REPORTS Corn and Oats Dominated by Major Grain; Exports Low. By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 24.—Breaking drastically to new low levels in all months, wheat sagged violently as the Board of Trade opened today. The extreme weakness in foreign markets, with Buenos Aires 1 i to l%c lower and Liverpool reporting their drop due to a lack of confidence and no export demand, was the chief factor. Co-operative j buying at Kansas City must cease j unless more storage space can be ; provided. Corn and oats tumbled with wheat. At the opening wheat was l!i I to 3Vi c lower, corn was off % to lc and oats was down V 2 to %c. Provisions were weak. Both Liverpool and Winnipeg weakened Saturday while the local market was closed and Liverpool was much lower this morning, falling 2 r, i to 2 7 sc by mid-after-noon. The much colder weather forecasted for the grain belt over the week-end failed to materialize. The failure of the export business despite the prevailing low levels was the most disappointing feature. While the demand for cash corn is very high, the futures are being dominated by the weakness in the wheat pit and the belief that a larger movement is in prospect from now on The wet weather of the last few days will probably have a retarding influence but only for a day or two. Profit-taking and hedging pressure in oats have held that market I within an extremely narrow range. ! The pit has no news of an in- | dividual character. Chicago Grain Table —Fb. 24 Prev.

‘DISRAELI’ IS THE BEST TALKER SO FAR There Is No Doubt but That George Arliss Gives Greatest Dramatic Performance on Talking Screen. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN George Arliss makes “Disraeli” the greatest talker that the screen has yet reflected. I give that superlative verdict without much fear of contradiction because I feel that the great majority will be on my side of the fence. The other day when I talked to Otis Skinner in his dressing room at English’s he told me that “Disraeli” was a “great movie” and I got the impression that this movie influenced Skinner greatly in seriously considering offers to make a talker out of “The Honor of the Family. After seeing Arliss in “Disraeli,” I can easily see why it is influencing some of the greatest stars who have stayed away from the movie studio.

In a recent vote taken by the movie critics in the leading cities over this country, “Disraeli” led the

George Arliss

ten best list. As I said before, I think that there is no argument, it is the best talker so far. Of course, I must admit that Disraeli is the biggest characterization that Arliss his given the talking stage and it is easy to see that it could be the greatest single characterization so far on the talk-

ing screen. Arlis's knows the history back of this leader of England when it was ruled by a Queen. In the movie version, you are concerned only with one problem of Disraeli —How to buy the Suez canal and beat the Imperial Russian government to it. And this leader does that in face of a powerful spy system and in foce of the voted opposition of parliament and the head of the Bank of landArliss depicts Disraeli with a sense of humor and a cunning which goes right into the center defense of the opposition- He bullies, plots and defeats the opposition with his sharp wit and foxlike cunning. Arliss allows you to actually hear him think as he meets the enemy in his very study and in his own garden. With a grand sweep, Arliss shows you his love toward his wife, and that love is returned to him. He shows Disraeli as the match-maker between Lady Clarissa and Lord Deeford. It is this quality of authentic humanness that Arliss gives Disraeli, which makes this character the biggest living thing yet on the talking screen. Here is the finished and polished acting which has been seen only before on the stage. Now for the first time, the greatest acting on the stage has been transferred to the screen. The cast is just as you would expect Arliss to have. Joan Bennett is sweet as Clarissa. Florence Arliss is lovely as Lady Beaconsfield, and one can not help to love Anthony Bushell as Lord Deeford. Another fine piece of work is done by David Torrence as Lord Probert. Iy you pass up everything in town this week see Arliss as “Disraeli” at the Apollo. tt * HOT LOVE AND WARMER LOVE SONGS . Since Ramon Novarro was a success as the naked legged hero of “The Pagan,” his public has been waiting for his singer-movie And we have it with us this week under the title of “Devil-May-Care” at the Palace. When you consider that this is really a costume romance in the

days when the great Napoleon was in exile and his loyal soldiers were plotting his return to France, (he success of thus romantic and oversentirnental story is even greater. It is a mighty hard job to make the public like a costume romance. If Novarro had made this movie as a silent, it probably would

Ramon Novarro

have been a dismal failure but when Novarro starts singing his love tunes to Dorothy Jordan, his new leading lady, and what a cute and pretty little trick she is, and what a sweet voice, well the audience falls under the soothing spell of the star’s voice. Oh, I grant you that many of these love scenes even in the lady's own bedroom, and in the forest are super-heated scenes and all that, stickey with too much sentiment, but one has to admit that these two players put it over in grand style. Novarro makes the character of Armand, a romantic lover with a passion for hot love songs and a capable sense of humor in making the apple of his eye see his way about being his girl. “Devil-May-Care” has several good tunes such as “If He Cared,” “Pompadour,” “Bon Jour, Louie” and a great song for the male chorus as soldiers, “March of the Old Guard.” The love tunes have lots of warmth, and Novarro knows how to generate that heat. I think that the story has been nicely told; that is, one actually fears fort he safety of Armand when his rebellious sweettie Leonie turns him over, nearly, into the hands of the royalists, but he escapes each time. Nearly forgot to tell you that Marion Harris, the well-known hot jazz singer on the vaudeville stage, is cast as Countess Louise. I doubt if any countess in France had a hot jazz singing voioe in those days, but what of historical accuracy in a romantic story. William Humphrey is good as Napoleon and John Miljan is excellent as De Grignon, the royalist officer. “Devil-May-Care” has been carefully and beautifully photographed and recorded. I consider “Devil-May-Care” as corking date night entertainment. It is sure full pf th love stuff. Warm but mighty comfortable entertainment. Now at Loew’s Palace. tt tt a NICK PACKS ’EM IN AGAIN Nick Lucas is having another typical Nick Lucas week in this city. Meaning that he is packing them in

at the Indiana. When you can stand ’em up for the first show in the day, well, there is drawing power some place, and Lucas gets the credit from me for that great draw. Before Lucas comes on the stage in the revue, we hear the best girl

orchestra I have ever heard. I do not know the name of this orchestra, but it can be “hot” and dignified, and these girls play many a musical instrument equally well. Here, is a refined band act that is a credit to the presentation stage. And it is with pleasure that I record that the girls receive a splendid ovation from the audience.

Loretta Young

Lucas is always the same—meaning that he is always a hit. This time he is featuring tunes from his movie. “Gold Diggers of Broadway.” He sings and plays himself into a personal hit. This week we have Charlie Davis in the orchestra pit. Ed Resener and Dessa Byrd at the pipe organ engage in a contest to see who can get the most people to sing with them. Dessa when I was present. The movie this week is one of those very light, sassy little farces, called “Loose Ankles.” It features Loretta young as an actress who tries to create scandal so she can break a will, and Doug Fairbanks Jr., as a sort of a decent escort to old ladies who want to make whoopee. It is a thin story and very familiar. The comedy honors go to Ethel Wales, Louise Fazenda and Daphne Pollard. “Loose Ankles” is just thin fun well done. Now at the Indiana. a a a “SEVEN KEYS” REACHES TALKING SCREEN “Seven Keys To Baldpate” was a whale of a hit on the stage and as a movie talker, it is a hit in the hands of Richard Dix ~s an author who makes a wager that he can turn out a complete novel of

regulation length in twenty - four hours. And we all know that all of the exciting events which one sees while the author is writing does not actually happen but it is the story he is writing. It is this clever twist which made the stage show the hit that it was. Dix has a good talking voice and he knows how to play comedy.

Richard Dix

I think that Dix has nothing to fear on the talking screen as long as he can get vehicles of the strength of “Seven Keys to Baldpate.” Dix was slipping before the

What Do You Know About CHIROPRACTIC? HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE “WHAT! John Smith is DEAD! Why only day before yesterday I was talking with him and he told me how wonderfully well he was feeling. It just doesn’t seem possible.’’ And yet there are a great many John Smiths today, healthy and robust, whose families will mourn their loss during this coming year. They don't know it, but their BLOOD PRESSURE is too high. And some day one of those DELICATE VESSELS of the brain will suddenly give way and a useful life will come to an end. The blood vessels which carry the life-giving blood to every organ where it is needed are able to perform their work because they are ELASTIC. With every beat of the heart. they expand. With every resting period they rebound to drive the blood onward. When they are normal they do their work with ease, but let them begin to lose their elasticity and trouble begins. CAUSES There are TWO MAJOR CAUSES for HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. They are “HARDENING OF ARTERIES” and “INCREASED ARTERIAL TENSION.” Of these the latter is more common. When either of these conditions prevails the arteries cannot expand to accommodate the necessary quantity of blood. The result is increased blood pressure and the constant hazard of “A STROKE.” It is for this reason that people with high blood pressure are advised against mental or physical exertion which will raise the pressure still higher beyond the danger point. How much better it would be to recognize the danger and take such steps that the hazard would be removed. Chiropractors have a SPLENDID RECORD of SUCCESS in handling this character of cases. They do not seek to treat the effects. THEY prefer to LOCATE and ELIMINATE the cause. Dr. J. N. Firth Dr. Frank Wright 518 N. Delaware St. RI, 2441 602 Occidental Bldg. RI. 9757 Dr. Chas.

ASSESSMENTS MADE TARGET IN TAX ACTION Lynhurst Residents Sue to Prevent Certification by County Auditor. Trial of a cult by three property owners in Lynhurst, with two realty companies and five trust companies as co-plaintiffs, to prevent County Auditor Harry Dunn from certifying tax assessments against Lynhurst property, as provided in an annexation resolution passed by the town board last November, began today before Cir-, cuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin. I More than 200 residents were m the courtroom to hear the trial, | which is the outgrowth of alleged "wild west” tactics resorted to by Ernest Kellogg, Lynhurst “mayor” ' and town board president, at a re- ! cent town board meeting. Charged with drawing a gun on six other members of the board, Kellogg was fined SSO for carrying concealed weapons when tried by Special Criminal Judge Frarit Symmes, last week. He had appealed his conviction from criminal court on two charges. In the civil suit, it is contended the annexation resolution was passed contrary to law and that assessment of property by Dunn under the resolution is improper. Marriage Licenses E.

When Alex Cohen, IX,’i,” College avenue, attempted this morning to stop two Negroes who. he told police, had grabbed two pairs of trousers and were attempting to escape from his store, he was knocked down by one of them. The two escaped with the trousers. talkers arrived and now I think that he is headed for future security. that is if they can get the light stories for him. “Seven Keys to Baldpate” has. been well filmed and directed. I noticed something wrong several times either in the recording or the reproduction. 7 think it was the reproduction as the voice of Dix died away completely several times. The supporting cast is weak in several character spots and strong in others. It is comfortable mystery entertainment well done by Richard Dix. Now at the Circle. >t an There are two very important concerts tonight—Dusolina Giannini at the Academy of Music and Martinelli at Caleb Mills Hall. Lynne Overman opens a three day engagement tonight at English's in “She's No Lady.” Other theaters today offer; “Mischief Makers” at the Mutual; “Going Up” at the Rialto; “Struttin* Round” at the Colonial; “Show of Shows” at the Granada; “No, No, Nanette” at the Ohio, and,“City Girl” at the Lyric.
