RUSSIA CURBS CRUEL WAR ON 1 'NONTOILERS' Ostracised ‘Class Enemies’ of Reds Partially Win Back Human Rights. BY EUGENE LYONS Staff Correapnndant MOSCOW. March 24 —Millions of hitherto cruelly suppressed "class enemies’’ of the Soviets rejoiced today at the removal of restrictions which for years have set them apart, despised, ostracised and deprived of human rights. In the most important social decree of recent years, the central executive committee has ordered practically every right, of Communist citizenship—except the franchise—restored to the "nontoilers,” which include remnants of the former ruling class, priests, private traders, "kulaks” < property-owning farmers) and other disfranchised elements. The decree is regarded as emphasizing the demand of Joseph Stalin for a change in methods and the elimination of force and terrorization as a means of furthering the Soviet’s program. The main objective of the government —suppression of the kulaks and collectivization of industry and agriculture—is in no way altered. Tlie lot of the "class enemies” will still be hard. The decree did not remove one of the most serious disabilities against this part of Russia’s population, which is exclusion from the trade unions, through which they were prevented from obtaining work. The decree provides that loss of the franchise shall not carry with it such disabilities as expulsion from homes and cities, denial of food rations and medical aid. exclusion of children from the benefits of education, and scores of other oppressive regulations.

March 24.—The Japanese cherry trees along the banks of the Potomac here,- which were presented to the United States by the city of Tokio, will bloom this spring without the annual cherry blossom festival being held about them. This year’s fete was postponed until 1231, partly because the committee in charge of the event could not make final preparations in time and partly because of the serious illness of the late former President, William H.

CHARLIE AND BOYS' TAKE UP DANCING Davis, Ed Resener and the Others at the Indiana Go in for Some Mighty Fancy Stepping on Stage. BY WALTER D HICKMAN THE big talk about town this week will be the way Charlie Davis and some of his boys in the band put on a dancing number at the Indiana. As you know this is farewell week for Davis at the Indiana because he goes on tour at the head of a big revue for presentation in movie theaters. The last half of the stage show is taken over by Davis and his boys and they sure go to town in melody, dancing and even in comedy.

After a fine collection of popular tunes. Charlie. Ed Resener and some

of the others in the orchestra go in for a dance. They line up and start flinging their hips and swinging their feet just as well as any trained chorus we have had for a long time. And the boys do it seriously. They must have been going to a dancing school because they sure do knowhow 7 to hoof. I know now how

Resener is reducing because it must have been the dancing. Ed has a chance to do some good work on the violin. The ovations being given Davis this week on the eve of his departure must be very satisfying to him. As he states the glory of the success made at the Indiana goes V. the boys in the band. The band stays on at the Indiana while Charlie is away. Paul Spor, who has made quite a success at this master of ceremonies, is being introduced by Charlie as his successor. The stage show this w r eek has been so arranged that Davis and his boys have most of the time. Os interest is a horse that poses. The opening dance numbers of the stage show are pretty and well arranged. The movie feature is Clive Brook and Evelyn Brent in "Slightly Scarlet.” Here is a story about a gang of diamond thieves, who plan to clean out a rich American family in southern France. Miss Brent is the good looking lady crook and Brook, well it isn’t fair to tell just what he is because it is the surprise ending which helps to make this movie interesting. It is well acted and the spoken word is well handled. Now at the Indiana. a a nr FANNIE BRICE SINGS ABOUT HER MAN Fannie Brice, appearing at the Palace this week in "Be Yourself," sings about the man she loves. At first she sings with a light and happy heart, but before you leave the theater, she repeats the same number with tears in her eyes, and a heavy heart. Those of you who are fans of this comedienne of songland and stage, will probably sit through this picture with great enjoyment, because Fannie does sing, and she will act funny. The plot seems to have been built especially around her, and ss a result you see and hear a lot of Fannie. Working in a night club, or perhaps entertaining is a better word

to use, she finds herself in love with one of the patrons, who appears to be somewhat of the bum type. This part is played by Robert Armstrong. One night after Robert has a drunken fight with a prizefighter, Fannie suddenly decides, that she and her brother, who is none other than Harry Green, are

going to make a real fighter out of hint. Training starts at once. Fights are booked, and Robert wins ’em. Everythings e. And then comes the devil, in the form of a woman, who putting her blinkers on Robert, steals him away from Fannie. But Fannie rises up in rebellion, and so arranges a match, between Robert and the man

he had formerly knocked out, that Robert kisses the dirt, and does it nicely. Os course later, in the dressing room, Robert makes this same man lay on his back, because really you can see for yourself, what a bad feeling it w-ould have leaving the theater, and knowing that the hero had not himself a real man. Well, anyway, Fannie gets her man, and that’s that. There are three outstanding song numbers in this night club, and boxing ring picture, the one Fannie sings about loving her man, another called “Kickin' a Hole in the Sky.” and “I’m Cooking Breakfast for the Man I Love.” “Be Yourself” is just nice entertainment, with good work from Fannie, Harry Green and Robert Armstrong. "Whispering Whoopee,” with Charles Chase, a talking comedy, and news reel complete the program. This week at the Palace. (By Connell Turpen). a a a THEY FIGHT IT OUT IN THE SKY They are fighting the war in the sky again. This time it is "The Sky Hawk” with John Garrick as the hero single-handed brings down a giant German Zeppelin as it bombards London. What ever merit this picture has it is the way the photographer has handled the scenes showing the Zep-

pelin bombing London. Some of tliese scenes, especially while Garrick dodges about the giant Zeppelin in his own little airplane. I noticed that the children in the audience were highly impressed with this fight. One lad near me whispered to his mother when Garrick had destroyed the Zep, "Mother that aviator knows his busi-

ness.” This picture Is what might be termed mechanical melodrama 8a the players haven't so much to do. It is too bad that Helen Chandler, who play the love role opposite Garrick, has such a poor recording voice. She seems to blast out her words and she overacts most of the time. Most of the acting is just fair. As I stated before whatever Interest "The Sky Hawk'' arouses will be the scenes showing the fight in the air. Now at the Apollo. * u n WHEN* TWO RACES MEEJ IN SCOTLAND Again we hear from Mr. Cohen and Mr. Kelly, and this time they are in Scotland. I know that is correct because the -title of the picture is "The Cohens and Kellys in Scotland.” Cohen and Kelley seemed to have fallen out with each other, before

they both journey to Scotland, each unaware of the other’s pr e sence. But after they meet, play golf together, go to the horse races and then try to drown them selves, they finally make up. and start fighting again.

in Scotland. Although this talkie of them is no better than their former pictures, it is on the same level. Much of the comedy is old and somewhat worn out, but it still gets the laugh from the audience. Charlie Murray, as Kelly, makes his first appearance in the talkies, in this film. George Sidney is cast as Cohen. Perhaps some of the funniest scenes of this comedy, is when Kelly and Cohen decide to commit suicide by drowning, and then when they walk in on their wives, who thinking them dead, are holding a seance. The wives are played by Vera Gordon and -Kate Price. "The Cohens and Kellys in Scotland” is good comedy and good for several laughs, but do not expect too much. Eddie Cantor in a talking sketch “Getting a Ticket,” and news reel complete the bill. This week at the Circle. (By Connell Turpen.) Jane Cowl opens a week’s engagement at English’s tonight in anew comedy, "Jenny.” Other theaters today offer: “Second Choice” at the Lyric; "Cabaret Night” at the Mutual; "Naughty Nifties” at the Colonial; "Party Girl” at the Ohio, and movies at the Granada. DOHENY ‘TAKES IT EASY’ Demonstration Reported Waiting for Acquitted Oil Man. Bn United Press WASHINGTON, March 24.—Free of the charge of bribery 7, Edward L. Doheney, California oil man, rested here today in preparation for a triumphal return to his home. It was understood a demonstration was planned for him in Los Angeles.

Verdict of the New Movies CIRCLE—“The Cohens and Kellys in Scotland” offers nothing much different or - new in the way of comedy, but still is good for many laughs and is on par with previous pictures of this series. PALACE—“Be Yourself,” featuring Fannie Brice, is nice entertainment, well recorded, and good work from entire cast. INDIANA—Charlie Davis, Ed Resener and some, of the other boys in the orchestra put on a dance number which is perfect. APOLLO—The only merit that. "The Sky Hawk” has is its scenes showing a battle in the sky between a German Zeppelin and an airplane.

LOVE TRIAL IS FAILURE: WIFE'S SUITOR SUICIDE Woman, Mate Who Approved Experiment, Hide to Patch Marriage. Bu United Press DETROIT, March 24.—Reunited with her husband and 18-months-old daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Rowe March, principal in a love experiment, which ended tragically at Miami Beach, Fla., after three week’s trial, today hid from public gaze. Mrs. March came back Sunday to her ultra modern husband, Benjamin March, curator of Asiasic art at the Detroit art institute, taking their daughter with them, the pair went into hiding to pick up the raveled ends of interrupted lives. Meanwhile, at Miami Beach, lies the body of the losing principal in the odd experiment—Thomas A. Newton, married son of a wealthy Detroit packer, who “eloped” with Mrs. March with the consent of her husband. The experiment began three weeks ago when March, learning of the attachment of his wife for Newton, sanctioned a month's test of their infatuation for each other. “I knew,” the curator said, “that any artificial barrier I might put up would be useless.” Freed from the restrictions imposed by convention, the couple went to New York, Bermuda and finally to Florida. March had agreed to wait one

month to receive word of the success or failure of the strange experiment. Last Friday he was cheered by a message from his wife that she was coming home. A few hours later he was informed that Newton had ended his life in a Miami Beach hotel room. KING GETS BOAT READY LONDON.
